Like I said, I'm heading off to the other forum later today. I joined here to fill the time during my two week ban there. It looks like there are only a couple threads in each section that get...

Survival is such a vague yet simple term in itself. It is usually synonymous with some type of wilderness survival, however. And it's based off of a scenario where an individual is alone or with only...

Hahaha, no. There was a guy on the ninja board who ALWAYS disagreed with me. He said he was a millionaire and his brother was a billionaire (not sure how true that was). The site admin eventually...

A show demonstrating useful skills can be profitable. It's called youtube. You have a channel, you have videos, you have subscribers, and you have adds. This generates viewership revenue. If you have...

Well, as much as I'd like to beat this dead horse. My suspension on the other forum will be lifted later today so I'll probably be spending my time over there for the most part. I may stop back in...

The truth of the matter is that educational survival material works better in the format of one person demonstrating skills to the viewer. That's why I actually liked Bear Grylls, because he would...

Ahhh...the old "I lost my assault rifle in a tragic canoeing accident" defense.

Yes. Nothing wrong with that. And in the face of no reasonable rebuttal, I'll assume my point stands. I don't have to be "right", I just have to show that what I was saying has validity. That's all.

I have a tin of Murray's pomade that is half empty. I pack the empty space with cotton balls. The pomade burns about twice as long as PJ. Also, the tin is a good container and could be used to make...

Me too. That's actually how I broke my imitation Rambo knife. I was using it to pry some roots out of the ground in the backyard. It did a good job on them for a while. But the plastic mold inside...

They already did a man tracker show. Four guys track down one skilled survival guy. It was one of the most boring unrealistic survival shows I've ever seen. Now they want to do another one?

Cody wasn't very athletic. I'm not sure how old he is, as that may have been a factor. He's muscular but I don't think he was able to manage his weight and bulk very well. He never seemed sure on his...

I put a loop of paracord through the trigger guard and around one of the bars on the canoe. Basically like a safety belt in case it tips.

Pretty much. A 4 inch or less blade works really well out in the field. The only reason they suggest going over 4 inches is for batoning sake. But you generally don't need to baton that much or...

Yes, there is truth to it. But it can also be harmful depending on the metal and how bad its rusted. Minor surface rust on a standard kitchen knife shouldn't hurt you, but it probably won't be good...

I'm not sure if Buck will send you a new one or not. Ironically, the manual that comes with the Hoodlum shows you how to baton with it. So they are actually condoning batoning with it.

I don't...

I don't want to re-live that entire thread here, so I'll just comment briefly on a couple things related to this.I had already explained and qualified the semantics involved in describing char cloth...

Where do you get you raw kydex?

1sttimestar, do you like walking sticks that are chest level or shorter, or do you normally like them to be taller than you like walking staffs?

Well said sir.

Very noteworthy about these is that both snapped at the notch. The next question is, without the notch, would they have snapped at all?

Keep in mind that the thickest and...

Yea, but it's kind of like me acknowledging your stance while telling you that I maintain my own. Then you reply that I shouldn't be maintaining it because it's wrong. In fact, nobody should be told...

Yea, I used it on a katana and my carbon steel mora.

But if you were to go back and analyze my wording, you'd see that I'm not proclaiming myself right and others wrong, or saying my belief is the end all be all. In fact, YOU guys are the one INSISTING...

Really, you're still on about that Buck Hoodlum?!? Most knives have a decent retention strap or would be carried in such a way that it falling out would be unlikely. I suppose that you could lose a...
