Seems to work for gun oil.

You're right, Crashdive123. Not only coffee cans, but paint cans are mostly made of plastic or paperish stuff nowadays. I don't think they'd have a very long life as a stove...

Thanks. After thinking it over, I came to the same conclusion. The oils/fats won't work. Oh, well.

You can order just the rain flap and smoke hole insert. Any canvas tent could be retrofitted. They will not sell one installed for any tent that isn't flame retardant. (And flame retardant is only...

Here's a crazy thought I had just this morning. We dehydrate various foods, mostly frozen vegetables, and it we've been very successful with vacuum storage.

So it hits me: why not get the lower...

A skydiver jumps from the plane on his first solo jump. After a while, he pulls the ripcord. It detaches and he is looking at the D ring in his hand.
Alarmed, he pulls the reserve chute ripcord....

As you said, Rick, sometimes vipers don't inject venom when they bite. Old Timers have told me that a baby rattlesnake, for example, is more likely to inject the whole load than a bigger, older...

I'd wonder about dyeing oilcloth AFTER waterproofing. If you could, it wouldn't really be waterproofing, eh?

You can get a fiberglas panel for a stove pipe from Panther Primitives...

Last I heard, you can't collect road kill deer in Texas, either. Maybe because so many Californian legislators are moving here? (Just kidding, Californians, honest.)

That's a good one, ycc.

Both have...

The Africanized bees are breeding into the stock of the traditional honeybees. Used to be if you could put thirty yards or so from a hive of angry bees, you would be ok. The "killer" bees keep...

I probably should have started a new thread for that question. Sorry. No intent to hijack the original review intended, honest.

You surely could. Good thought.:tooth:

As for kitchen matches, have you guys heard that they're not making them any longer?




It's only because they're long enough already

It's a little harder to wear a utility belt (I have one) if you're also wearing a backpack with a waistbelt. Suggestions?

What do you think about this one, a very similar bag?...

Well, when you start out, you don't really need the bag. But if you get unexpected things going on, having a light backpack is a good idea, eh?

That's all they're for. It's a collapsible...

OK, so for the Long Gun's Survival Kit:
You'll need oil, in safe containers that DO NOT LEAK. (Yes, I've had gun oil leak into everything. Bad outcome.)
Swabs, bore cleaner, small brushes, you...

I admit: I have never lost my body, Phaedrus. Been out of touch with it a time or two, but it was always nearby... :)

The modular idea is a good one.
In a total break down, a get out now bag/pack is an essential for everyone. Although I'd hate leaving my long term supplies if the house became indefensible, I guess...

I read through many (not all!) of the pages in this long thread. It's interesting to see how many things we used to be able to get are no longer available--like bricks of 22LR--and how the prices...

What does the ingredient list say, Mike? Honey + anything?

I'd say because it might lose it's protection when you open the container. We generally dehydrate in meal-sized bags, but some things, like, say, rice, might be bagged in multi-meal containers. ...

BTW, the ad now says 4.3 mil thickness.

What's the virtue of mylar over regular (polyplastic) bags? All will puncture, all can be labeled with a Sharpee. Does one last longer than the other?

How could one test for botulin toxins in foods? We don't eat any that have a broken seal, or have discoloration.
How do we know what the moisture content is? We dehydrate everything until it's...
