I have never thought about using one of those 32 oz kits, the materials are pretty crappy usually, but that idea about a zip lock for putting your stuff in isn't bad, also, it is a nice idea for...

What the real man laws should be:

Take care of your family

Be strong in your faith

Take responsibility for your actions

Help those that cannot help themselves

Back to the thread topic....

Check this guy out, he makes more types of alcohol stoves than I can count. I have bought several of them and they absolutely rock.

I have 2 of them and they are GREAT if you are just needing to boil water, not so much for cooking though as food tends to burn in the bottom of the cup if you don't stir it frequently.

For me, the 3 ones that I read the most are:

Wilderness Way

Backwoodsman

Backwoods Home

Haven't received them yet, but will report when I do. One of my items is currently on backorder.

Only 1 favorite??? That doesn't seem fair, but here goes.

I have a Springfield M6, Marlin Papoose, 2-10/22's and a Ruger Mk3, but probably my favorite is my stainless 10/22 with a Butler Creek...

All I wear right now are the 5.11 brand, for job site and daily wear, I use the cotton tactical ones, for semi dress I use the covert khakis and I just got a couple of the tactical light style,...

Your priorities are shelter, fire, water in that order. Food is not a priority for a long time.

Use char cloth to catch the spark, then my favorite is shredded up jute twine.

I just finished spending a week in the woods with my shelter. It rained for 7 days and was in the low 40's during the night. Several observations:

It takes WAY longer than you give it credit. My...

I have ordered and received 2 of these Blackwater Camelback Hawgs and could not be happier, they are my day packs when I hike with my...

That was my thought exactly, for the bottom of an Altoids can or a small pouch like Ritter's, it would be perfect. Do you need it? Probably not, but might it be a good extra tool for your toolkit?...

Just ran across these, the size and thickness of a credit card, but has 12 yards of floss in it. Would make a great addition to my kit for thin, strong cordage.

You forgot one that I learned and has kept me safe on numerous occasions. Put it at the top:

For some reason I am much taller and better looking on the internet......:)

You only shoot if you have the legal right to shoot.

When can you use deadly force? If you face immediate and otherwise unavoidable danger of death or grave bodily harm to the innocent. All...

My primary point was that some people believe that the simple act of drawing a firearm and showing it to someone will be enough to scare them away. Perhaps, perhaps not and if you are not mentally...

First, understand that if you ever have to draw your weapon you need to be ready to use it. NEVER draw a firearm unless you are willing to use it and have a legal right to use it. Brandishing will...

Last Spring, I spent 3 days with Tom Laskowski, owner of Midwest Native Skills Institute. When I started, I had done some camping, but that was about it.

Over the 3 days, we learned all of the...

I have used potassium permanginate and radiator coolant and the results are pretty impressive, very hot fire, but BE CAREFUL and stay clear of the fumes.

I also have mixed pp with sugar and used...

It took me a bunch of practice to be able to consistently blow a coal into fire. But because getting a coal with friction can be a lot of work, try this.

Put together a bunch of tinder bundles,...

I have bought mine on Ebay and had excellent results. I got 2 cases (24 meals) delivered to Wisconsin for around $105 bucks. If anyone is interested, drop me a PM and I will get you the name of the...

Actually, you are using the sun's energy, sorry, I wasn't clear on that. You take your flashlight and take off the lens and remove the bulb, then take your char cloth and insert it into the back of...
