Yeah you have to be careful when purchasing an MRE like I said above too. The same thing you could put together yourself for $2 will run you about $8-10 at some of these stores. Also depending on...

Yeah def don't keep mothballs in your pack there is no real beneficial reason i can think of. My pack I try to compartmentalize as much as I can in tins and other types of things where the batteries...

In a self defense situation such as muggings you are better off to just be more aware of your surroundings and try to avoid any situations where you could get mugged. Such as certain streets with...

All those sites were the same ones I was going to give. There are other websites such as Campmor, Cabellas, and so on but they will just sell you the mainstream type "survival food" which you will...

I am kind of the same way, in the heat of the moment I am completly calm and can get things done without any problem but once it all cools down my adrenaline gets to me and gets the shakes slightly....

I usually carry a 3 1/2 inch folding blade which I end up using the most but also have a 8 1/2 inch (1/4 serrated) fixed blade that is used for sawing and cutting down small trees and that whole...

In the Washington Post someone in Obama's administration said that they would not be putting a tax on ammunition or guns that would increase at all. They said as far as guns go they will be making...

Yeah and also after some research, what I said about West Virginia streams, I asked a guy and looked more stuff up and I guess the coal companies have been polluting the streams pretty heavily with...

Plus I see you are in West Virginia. Many areas when hiking in WV you can find water running downhill that is fresh especially in the eastern part of WV. If you are in areas such as WV where there is...

I would have to disagree with you somewhat sniperfx because the whole thing with the water isn't getting out dirt or rocks it is all of the parasites in it that can really hurt you. Many survival...

Great looking knives. I might try my hand at this soon, it will probably take me a year to make one haha.

Yeah the plane wasn't as heavy either because both engines fell off the plane on impact with the water. The pilots did a heck of a job landing that thing and the main pilot also did what he was...

I have to agree. I can't say whether global warming is real or not and don't really care much for Mr. Gore but either way pollution is getting bad in many areas and polluting our water supplies with...

Yep the knit wool socks are the way to go. I have actually found them to work just as well if not better than a lot of the fancy winter socks out there that have the extra thermal synthetics etc. I...

Nice, I really like the look of that.

Yeah I was kind of lost on this one too. At least it beats a "what would you do if" type of post.

Yep I agree with everyone else, the headlamp or mini-lantern is a better option than the LED on knife.

Yeah it is useless because if you bump it wrong then it won't work. I found this out the hard way by knocking over a ps3 with the blu ray in it. It is a cool gadget to play around with but wouldn't...

SurvivorMan is better to watch if you are trying to pick up a few tips to survive, and Bear is just entertainment because if someone really does everything he does they would die two or three times...

wow the ice under the bed comment will make me not travel up your way for awhile haha.

One good thing about rattle snakes is a lot of the time they will sense you before you do them, you will hear them rattling and will be able to look around and find out where they are. Of course this...

Yeah I am an electronics/tech guy so I mess with these type of things a lot. Just remember this thing is very dangerous and can burn your eyes permanently by just accidentally pointing it in your...

I would have to go with a cooler climate such as the Appalachians where it is cold but not -30 type of cold for most of the year. Jungle to me seems like there are a lot more threats from...

I like the angled army ones as well. I can hook them up on an attachment on the backpack so wherever I look there is light and I can detach it pretty quick if I need to use it in that way. I also...

My source was just someone I hike with regularly. I guess they may be wrong about it but they were just saying bugs are no good most of the time because if you don't do things right such as many...
