For the record, responding to negative criticism emotionally and calling names does more to damage this forum's usefulness than negative criticism. Like calling someone a whiney old woman... It stands. The management not addressing the issues here and trying to beat a pulse back with cronys in the ...

Growing up on a farm is not walking into the woods with a backpack and living off the fat of the land. There is no fat of the land. That is why you grew up on a farm and not in the middle of the woods. There is no mystery, I just prefer reality to fantasy. Never had farms on the reservation....that...

I think everyone pretty much missed the point. This is an entry level setup for not much money with commonly found items. Its focus is on knowledge and not gear weight or ultralight quality. You can pick up the whole set for the cost of one UL rainfly. False. The Pathfinder knife alone is $275. kit...

I think everyone pretty much missed the point. This is an entry level setup for not much money with commonly found items. Its focus is on knowledge and not gear weight or ultralight quality.

Serious advice on storage foods......... :awesome: Eat them. Not for a day or a week. Eat them for a month or more. They are not like regular foods. Only you know if they will work and only because you ate them for several weeks. 1. We have several folks myself included who turned up with allergies ...

My buddy got back to me. Not much gold there except south and east of Vegas. And then again into the adjoining Arizona counties. The gold is very small. Its flour gold so smaller than fine gold. or below 1-2mm flakes and dust. People use mostly dry washers down that way so without water and a lot of...

Tell me guys is it? Does anyone have it? I want a new hunting knife! Anyone have any suggestions other than that for a good fixed blade knife? It depends on your purposes and reasoning. Should this be your primary knife? No. That said we have 6 people with them and they are in the various vehicle b...

Unfortunately the marketing plan is a total failure. Its not clear how much each size is, how to get them other than he says he fills each order. there is no real world testing. Im not sure it has the leverage to tighten or loosen anything but the screwdriver end. That said a pr of the larger ones m...

Most good quality flashlights have an SOS signal in them now. I gave my sis one that uses two AA batts. It has a really bright, about 200 lumen light, and a laser. I think they came from costo. Brother in law issued mine lol. Has: Light laser laser+light SOS flash We try to collect multi use items. ...

The stuff came today. Made the kit for sis #2. will ease the others into it. Inside the Hudson bay box is several wraps of lamp wick which serves the same purpose as char cloth.then in the center is a layer of charcloth. We dont have flint here but there is a piece of chert, a C striker and a small...

Some of the questions are just not quite applicable to survival in anything other than from a 'true' preppers standpoint. For one I do not need a diesel powered vehicle unless I plan on bugging out and or scavenging/trading and need the range. Though I do have a truck. Guns can help but they are no...

Finally got around to editing the northwest pdf. Pulling a few that are for drier regions and adding a couple for the wet, as well as full fiddle head info for here. Had sets laminated for everyone to keep in their packs. 4oz of safe harvesting. 8 pages total One of those back burner things to cross...

Just took delivery of a new box. Will be distributing 2,500 fish hooks for each bag now. 1,000 in barbless egg style and 1,500 in standard bait holder style, all in pan fish sizes and a good portion in fly fishing sizes. Will be adding spools of synthetic thread and small ziplocks of feathers and pa...

Those little trailer tires go flat a lot. Be certain to either swap the tubes for self sealing, trade the tires for solid ones or have extra patches and a changing kit.

Some wine i put up during the spring. These are all fine wines, 2 different Cabs, a Rosso, a Barollo, a Chard, and a Reisling. Spent a few years in Napa and Sonoma so I know what im doing. 144 bottles next to the dining table. I also funded a full fruit wine set up thats in mothball for the ZA. Thes...

I wouldn't modify it. They are poor fire pans and poor cook pans. And unlike a lot of folks here with a focus on camping and bugging out, I am actually a part time prospector.

So I guess the next question is Copper or Steel?

Then what state/town or close so we can find you a place to dig?

Being that small are those hard to hold onto? I've just been using the back of my carbon Mora Classic Red #2 or a carbon Kellam Lapp Puukko on fire-steel. I'm not to the point yet where I can just grab some random rock out of a stream bed, strike it with a knife and expect it to do anything other t...

Great topic. We are working with our little one as well. He does very well with challenging and stressful things when we focus it into a mental game, rather than allowing ideas and fears to drift in the situations. Your spot on with having something familiar. His backpack is school oriented. We are ...

Haven't used mine much at all other than two fires. I really like it though. But it's not a Hudson Bay C pattern at all lol. You can skin your knuckles the first time till you figure it out. This shows how I had to route the cord, the sheath fits on tight so its just a safety catch. Single loops on ...

far as frying devices, how does that little charger I plug into my car, not fry my smart phone when 12v. of 15amp power are coming into it? Is the limiting done in the charger itself? Or does the phone have safeguards? Or both??? If it is the charger, could phone charger guts be used as a short cut...

I buy my dog freeze dried meat patties that have the proper diet added in. Unfortunately they only have about a 1.5 year shelf life and the ones people sell already have a few months knocked off from sitting on the shelf. I would like to find some cooking recipies for dog food thats a good balanced ...

Huge fan of chlorine dioxide both as a water treatment as well as MMS once someone already has the bugs or to stop the cytokine reaction. But for water its pretty tough to beat since it offs the viruses as well. You have to do your research. You can get the raw materials to make your own drops fairl...
