Well. That's a lot stuff. I have to tell you, I don't think I'll carry a 60lb. pack very far. Maybe to the truck. But if it works for you then by all means. Just spend some time hossing that rascal up and down the road and make certain you can carry it okay. Otherwise, you'll be dropping gear along the way. During the Alaskan gold rush, folks took things along like full size stoves that got discarded along the way because they under-estimated the amount of effort required to move it.
Three years of food is a lot of food. I hope you are able to rotate that as well.
Hi All,
I'm new to these forums and was hoping to get some feedback on my latest project; my survival kit + knife. I was just hoping to hear what you think. Thanks!

Hey md, how bout shooting over to the intro section and telling us a little about yourself.
mddubs - you cannot include a link to you site, blog, etc. in the body of your post. You can include it as part of your signature if you wish.
That's a terrible knife/survival kit combo. My advice is package the whole thing up and mail it to me immediately so I can take it off your hands for you before you do any serious damage to yourself:sneaky2: Or I could be lying....yeah do what chiye tanka said and pop by the intro section and we'll all welcome you and say hi and stuff. Hopefully you'll share more--info or stuff--
Since I can't see the link you posted, here's some of what has already been brought up on this forum regarding survival kits and knives (I added in books too):
Survival kits

survival knives

Bummer. Well ok, I added the link to my signature but it hasn't come up yet.Quote:

After seeing your post, I am kind curious how you became so efficient in survival. Here's a link to the introduction forum http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14 , I am sure there are others that would like to know more about you as well. Thanks!
So I did good huh? :)Quote:

Suggestion: before trying to suture in the wild, you may want to try butterfly sutures and superglue first. Otherwise, you might stitch in an infection.
Thanks for the tips, given the choice, sounds like it would be better to tie stitches with fishing line than thread.
let's see...bleed out---give myself stitches....bleed out--give myself stitches, I dunno that's a tough one. I'm going to focus on staying uninjured in the first place, but I suppose it is best to be prepared. (Now I'm picturing Paul Blart-Mall Cop and that little bandaid scene that he does....why can't I just be serious for a moment?)
I'm a huge Kevin James fan. How would you rate Mall Cop?
thats what I would use. carry Betadine also .
So, what kind of practical - or boots in the field experience do you have?Quote:

Surfing the web is fine, but survival in theory is a far cry from survival in practical application. :blushing:Quote:

Now that you have the gear find a survival course and put your gear to the test.
It is just as bad to have gear and not know how to use it as it is to not have gear at all!
If it works for you then it works for me! Now tell us what's NOT in the photos!:cool2:Quote:

Wet stone
Heavy duty Trash bags

Tube tent
Energy bars
An extra pair of socks and underwear
GUN! (and ammo of course)
lol. Your list actually made me go find the OP's link and take a look at the photo.Quote:

Anything you take out of the kit to use, put it in the pocket of your cargo pants. On the way back home after two days, chuck the kit in the garbae, and when you get home, take the contents of your pockets and start building a new kit. Eventually you'll get it refined down to the point you know you can sustain yourself with it, and you'll know how to use what you have in it.
Ok, Ok, :blushing: that was my BOB stuff....for the emergency kit itself I would only add: photon light (how else would he find his stuff in the dark?), safety pins, char cloth, small candle, needles/thread, fish hooks (how does he plan to make us of the fishing line and bobbers without the hooks?), and small amount of first aid stuff (the stuff I listed)Quote:

All I'm saying is it could use a little refinement/fine tuning from actual use. That way there is no question that you can survive if that's all you can grab.
And, I would still keep an energy bar in my pocket for use as bait :P
See, that is the difference between men and women...you guys don't carry a PURSE...I have everything I need in my purse at all times and still have enough room for lipstick and wallet :innocent:Quote:

Yep. If you are going to carry that much fishing gear, you should probably go ahead and just toss in a pack rod.Quote:

lol. Ok, I can see that. Those of the mentality to prepare typically do carry what they need in their purse. Those that don't, tend to whine/*****/complain when you don't have what they need in their purse. :)Quote:
