This reply will be in two parts. Trapping and hunting is (realistically) going to be a "no" while you're on the trail. I would plan to carry all the food you'll be eating on trail. The amount of food you'll carry will depend on a few things, such as how much you normally eat, and how long you will b...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5179D5DEiJL.jpg Something like this or this might fit the bill. These, you will note, will need to be ground down a few cm, but they have handles big enough to really hold onto, unlike the micro ones with the cute bell. Just my 2 cents for anyone looking for an...

Sorry if there's already a thread on this, and I just have weak search-fu. This is a digital scope that only fires when you're lined up with a predetermined target point. The video does a good job of explaining and demo-ing how it works. What do people think? http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/...

OK, I'll play. One of the things I like to make for backpacking is homemade larabars. For taste, we generally use 1 cup almonds, 1 cup dates, and 1/4 cup apricots, all food processored up and pressed into bars. If we substitute both fruit out for raisins for cost effectiveness, a batch with ingredie...

I like what I see! you really took people's feedback to heart!

Sorry if I missed this earlier, but have you decided on a final material for the handles?

First, have you tried holding mock-ups of those upside down, because they don't look too comfy that way, and I don't imagine the saw would be very useful oriented towards the back of your hand unless you're cutting up into something? Unless they're really just decorative, which is fine, but not my p...

Pocketdump! This is my Student's Shoestring Budget EDC. http://i.imgur.com/efxWe.jpg Watch: Timex Men's T2H281 Easy Read ($25). I like the clean simplicity of it, and it has all the function I need (time, date, backlight). Flashlight: Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro ($18). Plenty bright, and fits with ...

I keep my knives (rotate between Kershaw Chill and Spyderco Tenacious) in my right front pocket next to my dumb-phone. Wallet goes left front, and my keys go in the little coin pocket (possible because I only have three). I really like putting my hands in my pockets, either all the way, thumbs out, ...

Interesting setup! I thought I'd bounce a few things off you about your cooking setup. You list the hobo stove and the kettle, but do you have anything to cook in / eat in / eat out of? I don't know if you just didn't list them, but bowl/cup/spoon(spork?)/pot/etc. will make the hobo stove and the ke...

I've been EDCing a Spyderco Tenacious for a year now, and really like it. I tried out the Kershaw Chill for a while, but really like the ability to not *flick* the knife open, so it seems more non-threatening. It fits great in my hand, the g-10 is solid, and the bulk of it in my pocket is very reass...

Have you looked at an Emberlit? Packs flat, and seems pretty sweet as far as Biomass burners go.

This is amazing!!! I just made this for my sister for the holidays, and can't even describe how good it tastes. 1 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup water 2 sticks cinnamon Boil for 30 minutes Add mixture, sticks and all, to a 750 ml bottle Top off with cheap whiskey, let sit until desired taste is achieved (2...

Headless Zombies Bite No Survivors? This is a video of a robotic pig decapitator, which looks like the perfect investment for any serious anti zombie compound's false-entrance. Warning, do not watch if decapitated pig footage will make you unhappy.

I always bring a book. Well worth the weight IMHO, especially with nobody to talk to. Besides that, just don't forget any of the little things. Toothpaste, sunscreen, TP, flashlight, etc. Then again maybe I'm the only one that forgetful. I forgot to bring the fuel bottle on my last overnight trip, b...

Quote from conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo: "Pedro de Moron was a very good horseman, and as he charged with three other horsemen into the ranks of the enemy the Indians seized hold of his lance and he was not able to drag it away, and others gave him cuts with their broadswords, and wounded h...

I tried to sum this video up as succinctly as I could in the title. It's a Russian guy shooting one gallon jugs of water with 9mm, .38 special, .357 magnum, .44 magnum, and 12 guage buckshot. Point blank. maybe only interesting to a complete newbie like me, but I thought it was informative, and if y...

"Thank you for putting your spare key under the mat / under(in) the flowerpot / in the same fake rock everyone else has / on the hook 4 feet from the door." It blows my mind when a neighbor asks me to feed the cat while they're out of town, and shows me the same hidden key spot as the last six house...

Just a word to the wise, it won't be a sweet apple cider! Most yeasts ferment out pretty dry, which is to say it turns essentially all of the sugar into alcohol (and CO2), which in turn means there won't be much sugar left to taste. Don't be surprised if it's quite tart, and don't be discouraged if ...

I think this is a really good point. Some places are already quite a bit more hardened against zombie invasion (than the USA), and those would probably be the places with the most infrastructure/society still intact in the ZPAW. It would be interesting to see a depiction of the world with this taken...

1. I know it looks silly to have attachment points ALL over the outside of the pack, but in my experience, there's nothing worse than wanting to tie/strap something onto the outside of your pack and not being able to. So, uh, I vote for more webbing attachment points rather than less. Don't forget y...
