Okay, it's not a high tech "wonder gadget" or anything, but I've found my Ozark Trail (Wal Mart) Hobo Tool to be quite useful.
It's cheap, around $5.
It has a spoon, sharp knife, and fork. All...
There's a really nice post about Pemmican, but what about other rations that have a long shelf life? I know the focus here is more short term, but the ability to make food that you can carry with you...
You've hit one topic I wanted to broach on this forum, right square on the head! Fine info, my thanks!
My favorite use of honey is to ferment it into mead! Maybe not survival oriented, but really tasty and relieves aches, pains, and stress. Do not over-use, it can cause some of the most THUNDEROUS...
No black flies here, but mosquitoes aplenty.
Biting insects seem to like some people more than others in my experience. Yesterday, for instance, I was sitting outside with my wife and a regular...

Haha! Back then it was made of ducks even!
Just wait till you see what I do with the blue foam pads used under sleeping bags. We make swords out of 'em...talk about multi use items!
I am into some sports that replicate medieval combat including archery with 35lb. maximum pull weight bows. Many archers there use duct tape fletchings and some claim these to be even more durable...

Hello, all!
I don't remember how I bumbled into this site but I'm glad I did.
As to my self-introduction; I grew up right here in rural Georgia, and have hunted and fished all my life. I was a...
Well I'm glad to finally find out what these things are. Here in NW Georgia I've seen them mostly in my farm cats, all my life. They get in the cats' necks where they can't lick, sometimes two at a...
