quick question for ya pup
it has been raing here for 3 days and i am fixing to head out for a couple of days in the bush, how am i to start a fire when everthing has been soaked and it is calling for rain for the next 4 days any suggestions for me?
Stroking us? Yeah, he's gonna think it's funny when the zombies get here!
i know im gettin older... but a zombie? yea that sounds right! my advice for you is to test your endurance for exposure and practice methods of taking control over that. surviving and finding food are not too difficult. controling how you are (are not ) exposed to elements is the hard skiil to aquire.Quote:

I had "cold" wet fingers in mind when i said "endure exposure" rick. i picked up a broiling hot rock once.... it didnt take me long to look it.
you will be fine if you know how to make a fuzzstick or if you find a pine/evergree tree cause the dead brown needles/branches on the bottom stay dryQuote:

I'm just having a hard time with a 14 year old claiming to be an expert.
I'm 38, I started martial arts when I was 9. Does that make me an expert? If so, tell Steven Seagal and the UFC I'm ready to kick all there a$$e$.
BTW, if you're an expert, why do you need our help?
Where I live, you have to be 18 to OWN a handgun, but must be 21 to purchase one.
I don't know the laws in your neck of the woods (I can admit when I don't have knowledge of a subject) but I'm guessing that a 14 year old carring a handgun is illegal.
Indiana is pretty forgiving:
"No state permit is required for the possession of a rifle, shotgun, or handgun.It is unlawful for an adult to provide a firearm to a child or for a child to possesses a firearm except while the child is:
- Attending a hunter safety or firearms safety course and an adult is supervising the child during the course.
- Target shooting at a range or in an area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited or supervised by a qualified firearms instructor or adult while at the range.
- Engaging in an organized firearm competition or practicing for a performance by an organized group that uses firearms as a part of a performance.
- Lawfully hunting or trapping with a license.
- Traveling with an unloaded firearm to or from an activity described in this section.
- On real property that is under the control of the child’s parent, an adult family member, or legal guardian and has permission from the child's parent or legal guardian to possess a firearm.
- At the child's residence and has the permission of the child's parent, an adult family member or legal guardian to possess a firearm.
- It is unlawful to possess a firearm on school property, property used for a school function, or a school bus. This prohibition shall not apply to a person who may legally possesses a firearm and possess the firearm in a motor vehicle while transporting another person to or from school or a school function."
He can not carry a handgun until 18 however.
So THAT'S why you love Indiana so much, huh? Makes sense to me. :clap:
There are not many laws governing (impeding) the right to carry. Open, concealed, it's all the same.
Sensible legislature. Must be the water.Quote:

Yep. Absolutely.
You say your an expert, but then ask if your an expert ?Quote:

then you can try alot of things including Magnesium (if you have it) birch bark/twigs are great even after it has rained pine resin works, plus you can use oak leaves if there is a nice thick "carpet" of them on the forest floor you can use fallen trees "punky" wood you could use vaseleen covered cotton balls you can use any 7 in diameter log if you break it open and shave tinder out of the insideQuote:

Jagjj, reread your resume on the intro. Maybe I'm misreading, or reading into it a bit. But my only question is "Have you done all this?" I know you are knowledgeable, but have you built all the shelters you listed, or have just read about them. Have you built shelter or fire in pouring rain?
It's one thing to know how to do these things, but totally different when you're in the bush. Not doubting your ability. Just concerned.
yes i have done all of this and i will be doing it again i was stranded in canada once and i have built EVERY SINGLE SHELTER i listedQuote:

I know when someone pees on my leg it isn't raining outside. Yeah, I'm that smart.
I'm sorry. I didn't see you standing there. :innocent: Oh, you WEREN'T talking to me?Quote:

jagjj.....go if your Dad's willing to keep an eye on you daily, heck yeah! Let your dad keep the .44, you don't need it. Your Dad and Grandpa were stranded in Canada for a week once,t hough? Man, that's roughing it...were they in Toronto? Vancouver?
Rick do you get your leg peed on very often? You seem very well aquainted with the feeling. Hey I'm just asking. :Innocent:
Okay, Lorna. See? You have rain and then you have pee. If you are in the rain all of you is getting wet. Now....oh, never mind!
Hey,Lorna,Don't listen to Rick,he ran himself half to death in that igloo looking for a corner to pee in,if he had thought it through,he coulda peed on his own leg,and saved himself some trouble....
LMAO. :lol: So true Nell.
(hurriedly scribbling notes).
Is that a waterproof pen Rick? :whistling:
If it's any of your beeswax it's a crayon, okay?
