Colin Fletcher was the man. I have complete walker iii in my library and refer to it often, though I don't backpack as much any more. I never used a stove, always a fire pit or food packs where there...

I was jumped and mugged several times while living in Phila. One incident I came across 4 guys wanting to mess with a guy by himself. I let them get their fun in without fighting back(I was drinking...

Or maybe they woke up and lit the bic to see something and the fart sack had been recently "pressurized" and well...:rolleyes:

I have seen it and read the book. I loved em both. This was a guy who planned and prepared and did it. He kept a film and notebook journal to let his brother know that he was fine. I got a kick out...

Like most have said before, even a perfect shot might not kill an animal instantly, so I won't comment on that. My advice is for the range. Think of how you are going to be hunting and that is the...

45...46 in June :)

Maybe I should have said gourmet food forum then hehe. The food and recipes you folks talk about aren't what you could call survival foods :)

where's the bacon?

Great pics :) I am heading to Laconia, NH again this June and can't wait to get in the mountains. I would love to move north but I don't care for the cold weather much. You guys live by some...

I sometimes have to work outside humping cinder blocks all day. I take a gallon of water to work every day and on a regular day I drink about 2-3 qts. of water a day. On hot days, I tend to drink 4...

I would say that I only get sick about twice a year but I call out sick more than that :D I don't think hangovers count because they are usually voluntary :) I smoke, drink, and party at least once a...

Sounds like it to me too. This movie is soo misleading. The guy died from stupidity and ignorance. Listen to these folks here and prepare,learn, and practice before even entertaining thoughts of...

I only have a small garden but I'm putting in tomatoes, peppers and beans in this weekend. I want to try potatoes, onions, and herbs too.

off topic: Sometimes I wonder if this is a survival forum...

This guy makes them out of railroad spikes. So anything that can hold an edge :). This is from a hunting forum no less.

Now is that the HOLY Grenade that you use against a killer rabbit or will just a regular grenade do? :D:D:D

Bit of Trivia: 3 dots, 3 dashes, 3 dots, with no spacing, is the International Morse Code Distress Signal that coincides with the letters SOS. Later, phrases such as "Save Our Ship" and "Save Our...

:D Cork? There is no cork on a bottle of maddog? :D

Great pics and the walking sticks are cool :) I know it's no biggie and they are young but I was wondering, they don't always wear cotton out in the woods do they?

I agree with you also Trax. It is the hunter's responsibility to find the game after you have shot it. I've seen deer double lunged with a muzzleloader and kept running for over a mile. After we...

Actually i voted for the forest, because of the fact you said no emergency beacon. But if I was on that sailboat, I would have at least an epirb or plb attached to the life raft. And since someone...

I have no clue on edible plants. I always want to take a field tour with a knowledgeable person to learn first hand about them. I wouldn't feel confident about identifying plants with books or...

I'm coming up on my renewal date for First Aid, CPR, and AED training. Last year when I took it my instructor was telling me this change would probably be in effect before long. They were looking at...

Wow! quick hello's and welcomes here :) Thanks a bunch folks

@Beerrunner13: This June is my 3rd bike trip there and its the 85th anniversary too. Beautiful country and can't wait to go back. I...

Thanks Rick I never saw the bottle trick either :)

Ignoring all the hijacking on this thread :p I am new here and a city boy too. I have been ghosting this site for over a month before I registered. I think it is both informative and friendly. I've...

@rick: Like i said i haven't tried it but by just placing hot rocks in your water, is that enough to make it safe to drink? I have read it somewhere before but my thoughts were always that if water...
