Not a hope in H_ll! Sounds too much like Soylent Green...

Welcome Shifty, I'm new here too, and also from Ontario! So far that's you, LarryB, and myself...a good start. :) What part of Ont. do you hail from. I'm presently stuck in urban Mississauga, but as...

Thanks all. Yep I figured it wouldnt be very cost efficient...may try it as a hobby though.
Coot that is a nice link, and the primitiveways site is new to me...very interesting.

Hi everyone. I've been doing some pondering lately:eek: about wilderness survival and how our society has encroached relentlessly to the point where no matter how far you are from large urban areas,...

That is a nice knife, and looks quite functional. I have a question for you (and any others who make their own knives), what tools do you require to make a knife? Is there a bare minimum tools you...

I would have to agree with Aurelius. I wanted the movie to be good...it fell short. I also agree with Tahyo, that kid was out of his league...

I've heard over in the UK some outdoors folk, and I believe the British armed forces, use a gravity filter system called a 'Millbanks Bag'. I do not know how much it costs, or if it is available in...

I truely wish I new more about mushrooms, I would love to go into the woods to hunt for Morels. Problem is I don't know if there are any poisonous morel look alikes, and I don't have anyone 'morel...

No worries mate. :)

Mmm...respectfully Alpine Sapper, I disagree. Fasting or semi-fasting has been part of the human condition since our ancestors scavenged the african savannah. Our bodies(from the reading that I have...

I know from personal experience, that you can go longer than 3 weeks without food. When I was younger, and much chubbier than I now am, I went on a fast for just a bit over 2 months. I ate nothing...

Ole WV Coot, very interesting topic, and dear to my heart. I too love doing the type of carving you mention, walking sticks, hiking staffs, pendants out of pieces of interesting looking wood I find...

Never say " I'm too busy", especially to your children...

I have to agree, the Leatherman Wave, is a superior tool. I've had mine for 2 months now, and find it indespensable. I was a big SAK fan for many many years, but find that truthfully the Wave out...

Hi Braggsurvivor, you are very lucky to live in the Kannannaskis country. I used to live in Calgary for a while way back in the 70's. I used to head out to Kannannaskis on the weekends...those were...

BraggSurvivor, great site thanks. Now, just got to find some land as cheap as that cabin...

That's a great idea Rick. I have an old masons jar I'm going to try this with, plus some jute cordage lying about. I've heard vegetable oil works pretty well, so I'll try and see how it works.

As for taking rabbits, I use throwing sticks and any handy small(egg sized) rocks. I always hoped to use this spear on some slow moving animal like a porcupine, or if I got exceptionally lucky a deer...

Hi Trax. I'm not sure of the velocity. I got the idea from reading about the Ancient Greek javelinists who used to do the same thing in battles. According to records they could pierce shields. Mind...

'Canuckistanian' LOL, was wondering what we should call ourselves... :)

Hi all. I've had a little bit of experience with self made spears. I use very light saplings, or very large river cane reeds. I'm not very good with the Atlatl, so what I do is attach about midpoint...

Thanks gang. Crash... I used to spend some time a while back just north of Gainsville canoeing the Santa Fe(?) river with some of my Floridian friends. Really nice area.
Aurelius...funny you should...
