That was a nearly thirteen year old post and it looks like the Feds changed their link. Lists are good to have but dependent upon the person and their needs and the type of problem they are planning...

I'll pass on giving them my email address. Just a sloppy way to get a mailing list put together. What do you plan on surviving?

I doubt the very small amount of water vapor you would capture, if you capture any, would prevent death from dehydration. Once you become dehydrated you expel less and less moisture from all sources...

Excellent post and spot on.

There are a lot of good books on wilderness edibles. A lot of good books on wilderness et. al. They all serve as a good guide and a good starting place. As Sourdough says, boots in the field are...

LarryB hasn't been on in a while. That post was from 2007. In any case, having a kit is definitely a good thing and following a list from a well known person is a logical place to start. But don't...

Yes, the link was removed and you were PM'd. You can not post a link to any site you own. That goes for Youtube and other video sites if there is a link to your site in the vid. You can post it in...

Man, you must have been running Armadillos clinchers or something similar. My wife and I road back when we were kids. We did several centuries but always had a gear truck to toss stuff into.

How did you carry a Rec-Pac on your bike? Those things are huge.

There is probably some truth to that statement. When you are looking for paracord if you can pick up 1000 feet for $50 (or about that) it's Commercial Type III. MIL-C-5040 will cost you about $80 or...

(Pssst. That's Commercial Type III cord. But don't tell anyone.)

Nice write up. Now test out your kit and see if they were in fact all the right choices.

Not sure what you mean by "real" 550 cord. It's either MIL-C-5040 Type III or Type III Commercial or some...

I think you are better off having that than nothing. But I also think you need to build a kit tailored to your needs. I may not choose to gather fish with line and hook or I may not want my water...

Are you going to leave a trip plan with anyone? Do you plan to check in on a regular basis? Have you established any communication plan that says if I don't contact you by X call SAR?

On the metal water bottle make certain it is NOT double walled. If you put that on the fire it will explode or at least pop a seam if it has one.

My suggestion is that you take that kit as you have it laid out and spend the week-end with it. Determine what worked and what didn't and adjust accordingly. Then try your modified kit for the...

You might want to post your introduction in the Introduction thread instead of the Blog section. More folks will see it there. Here's a template you can use if you wish.
...

Are you looking for input because you are missing some important items. An intro would be helpful so we know how old you are.

1. Whistle (Tornado or Storm are both good. There are other good ones...

Why don't you try posting an introduction so we know if you are 9 or 90? You can use this template to get you started.

Sam, we have it all. Scroll down to Survival Kits.

Sam, any kit we offer would only be right for us. You need a kit that is right for you and for the environment you'll be in. Think of what you need in the back yard for those two nights, what the...

Now that's funny I don't care who you are!!

He will as long as the suit is polyester. Nothing's too good for our man Hunter.

I must confess I had never heard of that occurring. I can certainly understand how it could happen, however. We don't have that much snow here so that's probably why it's an uncommon occurrence.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure the kit would save a life. It's a well thought out kit. Something Cody advocated in one of his books and I've incorporated is to use a piece of aluminum foil...
