well a van is not really for me i mean ther not 4wd and i know you can get 4wd vans but they just are too big and a suburban would be a good choice but i like a good hearse but i was thinking more along the lines of maybe a suburban running gear with a caddy hearse mounted on it It is doable for su...

A nice place to find some good, fun, and odd info on lesser known skills. Lindsay Publications. Many of their books are reprints of old 1900's books http://www.lindsaybks.com/prod/index.html

Hmm... http://www.joe-ks.com/archives_jun2006/RedneckHearse.jpg http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/hearse-offroad.jpg Really though what type of hearse. An older one? Newer one? Why not just a Suburban 4X4 or other SUV like vehicles with lots of room? Sure a hearse could be ...

I would totally love a Ferret, they are pretty cool, and not overly expensive for what they are. But before I would consider a Ferret I would go for a Unimog like this one available for $23,900 at http://www.keaslersjunk.com/unimog_backhoe.html http://www.keaslersjunk.com/images_2008/unimog_001.jpg ...

I personally like yurts. I lived near the home of Pacific Yurt company and got to go walk around in them. They are quite nice. Though you would really want something more like a 30' yurt for permanent living you could easily live in a smaller one if it was only occasional living. Something to consid...

IIRC, Wetterlings is actually owned by Gransfors Bruks now. Yep they are, but produce and run independently. Gransfors Bruks realized that Wetterlings makes a great axe and was smart enough not to mess with it. Which I am quite thankful for. I do prefer the Wetterlings over the Gransfors Bruks, but...

A similar design to the Vargo is the Ti-Tri three fuel Caldera system though costs a bit more than the Vargo http://wiki.backpackinglight.com/images/a/a7/Titri-300.jpg video of the Ti-Tri Caldera stove.

I have the 14" and 17" Gerber/Friskars axes. I got them by someone leaving them at my brothers with a lot of other camping gear. I have a wood stove for my primary heating and use these axes daily. While nice and sharp they cut well they do not retain an edge well. They are easily damaged though als...

I think a lot of the replies here have missed the point of the OP. I don't think he was even specifically saying lighters are always better than matches. After reading this thread a few times I think the true point of the thread isn't even fire starting devices. The point I got from this thread was ...

Hello and thanks for being here. I have visited ZS on and off for awhile while researching stuff for my own preps. Finally I decided I should join up here. :D I have been a self sufficiency minded person for most of my life. My goal has been since young, to move off the grid into a more self suffici...
