fire kits? I'M IN!

between being down a man at work, and the birth of our third child i have been running around like an animal. this MBO is just the excuse i need to knock the dust off my gear and get out into the woods for some dirt time and fire starting! i have an ENO that i havnt used yet, so if i get out i plan ...

a real man would have snuffed the wick out on his eye ball before kicking back for a hot cup of cocoa!

nice little post WW. i filled the back of an old hickory parring knife and it throws sparks like a charm.

I order stuff all the time from amazon and never had an issue. Good to know they have such good CS. Glad it worked out for you.

great job to all the winners of this thing!

i didnt get the chance to read through all entries but what i did read was most excellent. the fun part is the winners have first crack at judging the next contest, plus you guys earned some ZS street cred as WW would say.

that florida tinder kicked your north eastern ass! :lol: in the end you came out on top! thats getting it done and not giving up! :clap: a while back that cabbage palm tinder ( which looks like what you have there ) kicked my ass too while using char cloth for an ember. it took me a few tries but fi...

this exactly

too bad nobody makes a breakdown/packable/UL/Ti/ultra expensive air conditioner. i would so own one!

Good vids man, lookes real nice in your area man! Cheers from the land of Vikings - Sweden! thanks for the comment! Good to see some pics of Florida. I lived in St. Aug during my highschool years, and then a bit in the early 90's. Florida woods are awesome, tons of resources. In fact my folks moved...

Nice! So, is that just an empty bic lighter wrapped in duct tape with the metal casing taken off of the top? woods walkers way of going UL... take an empty bic. :crazy: people try and come with 100 ways to "lock up" the the trigger on their bics so they will not end up with an empty one while out i...

Count me in also, as I've also used RIT dye on a massive pile of DCU. It worked out fine. Not sure if I have any pics saved of it, but... a few years back I was inspired by posts from aa1pr and darkkside here. if you are a good sleuther, you'll find those. The only thing I have to say regarding the...

moab - the item he did came out pretty good, with nice deep color and even coverage. pistol petes pack is a good example of a dye job done right. im still not a fan of green by itself on ACU, but as long as you like what the guy did to his ACU in the vid then thats all that matters. i say go for it....

very nice indeed!

got any idea of what species of tree produced that awesome piece?

this subject was just brought up a couple days ago on BCUSA. this is what i posted over there. here is what i do for small pouches and small items like light colored GPS/camera lanyards. ive even dyed some white bandanas that i got at the craft store for 1.00 for pouches and smaller items i heat wat...

once you start playing with dye you will look for all kinds of shit to soak. this was a grey canon lanyard from an old camera i dyed and put on my GPS.

i sewed this pouch up with white nylon purchased from jo-ann fabric. the nylon was snow white before dyeing. the nylon can be seen in one of the photos along with some duck cloth. a few simple steps can get you great results when dyeing nylon. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/DARKSIDE351/IMG...

Probably going to be trying to dye a chest rig and a pack using this method. Is the salt really necessary and do you just put it in the clean water without the dye in? Or do you put the salt in with the dye? Also anyone tried a charcoal grey? What color is your stuff now? I'd go with dark green rit...

this stuff was done with RIT. i read mention in this thread about using salt, but i didnt use any. these were ACU dyed using RIT. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/DARKSIDE351/IMGP3872.jpg this pack was DCU and also dyed using RIT. before... http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/DARKSIDE35...

i think a 1911 is a must have for any person who is into and owns guns... its a classic pistol and is very fun to shoot. a 1911 should NOT have a light/laser rail and SHOULD be in .45

this is just my opinion of coarse.

Doc Torr - didnt know that about kimber, but i have read about guys having problems with them out of the box ( im sure not all kimbers come with problems though ). i have also read about guys spending some money to have a new kimber tuned by a gunsmith just to get it to run right, and that SUCKS! wh...

like others have said. its ok to like it and if it works for you then who gives a shit what some internet expert says... i own a PT 145 and it has given me zero issues. ive fed it all kinds of good ammo inc hollow point, and crap reloaded ammo with no issues. i was a member of a taurus forum for som...

glad you and your people were ok WW! a little prep goes a long way. driving around after a hurricane is a huge pain in the ass ( and not safe ) and i would recommend against doing it unless its needed. my job requires me to hit the road within hours of a storm passing so i have had my share of inter...

the thorn is from a mexican fan palm. it got caught in some of the cartalidge in his lip. dumb luck i think that it didnt get thrown. im going to try my hand at this again on my next trip. i just got a new video camera so ill set up a tripod and post up a video.
