skunkkiller here I think you guys should tell them some food to fined while out there and stop telling them what you think they should do .If they do this they will need some help on food . I would take a cup to boil water because drinking from a mud puddle sucks! I have live off the land in alaska for 6 month it is not easy but I took more then a knife . I took flint and steel , tin cup ,hawk fixed blade knife , pocket knife and parched rice and a 32-20 rifle for small game oh and a small fishing kit. I live in a small a frame cabin I build .DON'T COOK IN CAMP AND DON'T SLEEP IN CLOTH YOU COOKED IN OR YOU WILL MOST LIKELY WAKE UP OR NOT WITH BEARS OR OTHER CRITTERS!!!!!!
If you look at the dates, this happened quite a while ago. They came to the forum seeking advice. Those that were telling them "what they should do" were trying to keep them from getting killed. This was a game to them, and survival is not a game.Quote:

Bibow - if you haven't got all worn out carrying that stuff, how about heading over to the introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself.
1st it's considered rude NOT to introduce yourself 1st BEFORE posting.
2nd, this thread is NOT the place to list all the gear YOU would bring but to reveal how foolish some people can be when they try to make Survival a game. Anybody in their right mind would have taken more gear than these guys. They're very lucky it didn't really turn into a "Survival" ordeal. Now be a good boy & go over to the "Intro" section & tell us a bit about yourself, like Crash suggested.:cool:
sorry about that
hey crashdive i won't get worn out carrying that stuff i got a canoe that's why i have a couple extra things. oh yeah and at the start with the rules it said click here so i did and ijust brought me to the forums i tried like 4 times
OK - as long as you're not carrying the canoe - thanks for clearing that up.
Dick Proenneke......MY HERO !
Hi guys hows it hangin
Hi Nexus,and it's not hangin :rolleyes: How about heading over to the intro thread and telling us a little about yourself.
He doesn't need to. He's been here before and most of his posts are just like that one. That's why they've been deleted. If he continues in this vane he will be too!
Was this one of the school kids abusing school computers that was on a couple of months ago?
sounds like you know your **** man,right on.
Yeah. Those were the kids from Australia. It doesn't look like Smoke is much older.
Crash since you asked in another thread...
ever made tea from Dingleberries? .... lol... here we go :D
Ummmm, no.......but let us know how it turns out.:D:D
Beo, need the sponge?
[QUOTE=Adrian;4715]This October my friend and I are going to walk in the Northern Manitoba Wilderness with nothing but what we are wearing and a knife. We will not be bringing any lighter, food, or supplies. Neither of us know a lot about wild foods. I would love some suggestions for food seeing as 30 days is a long time to eat the same thing. By the way we will be posting video of our experiences every day so everyone can watch us while we are there. Our website is www.*************.com Thanks for any information you can give me[/QUOTE
Wow thats really kool I'm glad you are giving a general location...........
Someone just might FIND YOUR DEAD dumb---
pssst,that was posted a year ago,and they failed,but did any one here say I told you so........well maybe just one or two did:D:D
resources, a critical aspect. communitys find it tough to survive in thoes conditions.
I take chances,but resources back me up. and in canada? Boreal forests are devoid of
plant life for much of the year. 70 LBS of food would only last two weeks per man. I would want more trips!
30 days with a knive
Oct. Boreal forest
DEATH
Wow jakjkl, at least you put your spam in the right thread.
well im thinking about going into the wilderness for a while, life has been treating me like **** and im sick of it, nothing as stupid as thoes guys though : axes , hatchets , twine , string , duck tape , my $25 tent , knives and sharpening kit , snare wire (multiple rolls) , conibear traps , pellet rifle and pistols (no Co2) , 3000+ ammo , slingshot , tube of silicon , zippo , butane lighter , disposable lighters , flint stick , late fall clothes , compasses ,
can anyone think of anything else i should bring?
Marcraft - There are several items that I believe you are lacking. Read through some of the threads (this one has a lot of info) to see where you may be able to add to your list. I know that you have talked about your experiences quite a bit. Be safe, have fun.
I wouldn't miss it if we ditched this entire thread, to be honest.
Take out all the BS posts and leave all the meat and potato's. Then archive it.
This thread actually comes in handy. When I'm feeling a bit blue, I can get a good laugh while reading through it. If I do something really stupid, I can read through this thread and feel pretty smart. It's our multi-purpose thread.
Personally I think that if you are going to live in the wilderness, you need to take all you need with you in one trip. Anyway, here is my list.
BASIC EQUIPMENT & CLOTHING LIST FOR EARLY 18TH CENTURY HISTORICAL TREKKING.
(1) Flintlock fusil, musket or rifle & powder horn (1 lb gunpowder)
(2) Pistol to match above (where legal)
(3) Shot pouch and contents(tools, ball, shot, wads, patch material, ball mould, lock cover, pan grease, ) on strap: vent pick, pan brush, small quills.
(4) Butcher knife & sheath
(5) Clasp knife
(6) Tomahawk
(7) Knapsack (or snapsack, rucksack)
(8) Haversack (for foraging and trail food) or market wallet
(9) Gunpowder wallet (also used for storing spare tinder)
(10) Brass trade cooking kettle
(11) Wooden spoon
(12) Food bags
(13) Sewing kit
(14) Spare round ball or lead bar
(15) Buckshot mould (if you are using a smoothbore)
(16) Flint, steel & tinderbox
(17) Fishing tackle
(18) Medical supplies
(19) Water canteen or leather costrel (period style glass bottles may also be used covered in leather)
(20) File & whet stone
(21) Belt pouch (optional)
(22) Blanket roll
(23) Oil cloth or canvas

(13) Half-blanket (for winter)
(14) Wool hat and mittens (for winter)
(15) Spare wool shirt (rolled in blanket roll for winter)
(16) Spare wool weskit (rolled in blanket roll for winter)
This plus trail food weighs in at about 40lbs.
a list like that takes quite some time to develope and im sure you have put your time in on it. however for the same reason i cant really answer that right off but i commend you on your list.
i do know however that as far as firearms go i may hold of on the 22 glock. as far a side arm i would want something with a little more "play dead" factor to it. a .357 magnum revolver would be my choice, revolvers are nice and easy to clean and simple, less things to go wrong with them. id pack an AR-7 .22 survival rifle to enable the taking of small game, which is why i assume you wanted the glock .22 in the first place. the AR-7 is collapsible and the action, mag., and barrel go into the stock for easy packing. next is a plane jane .30/06, bolt action, with a 5 round capacity. this would be for taking larger game and such. just my 2 cents.
like your list though so please dont take this as critisism, just my own thoughts on the subject.
cool thread man.
OK, sure, right, you betcha!!! If youre a pygmy and your black powder guns are .22 caliber.Quote:

Wow, this is just repulsive. What bothers me the most is that you know there are people that go to their site and buy into that crap, just like they buy into Bear Grylls swimming across a Scottish loch naked.
The idea that they would do something that dangerous in the first place is bad, but then the fact that they have "no survival training" is worse. Guns are for pussies? Are you kidding me? I would love to see someone try to have a fist fight with a bear or a mountain lion possibly. Or better yet fight one off with one of those wonderful atlatls.
I wouldn't even go out into my local woods that are relatively tame and that I have considerable knowledge of with "just a knife" let alone the Canadian wilderness. I have camped for a week in a very "wild" part of the Colorado Rockies and I most certainly didn't just go with a knife either. I guess with that knife you could just stab yourself to end it quick once you get up there and start starving to death.
After taking a good look at their site I have this strong suspicion that it is staged. All the videos require a "premium" membership which tells me it costs money and that, to me, screams "SCAM"

I am sorry, no offence intended, but I think you are either pulling our chain, or you are trying out for the "Darwin Award"!
Nice try fellas, good one. Regards, Le Loup.
I believe they came here trying to generate some excitement about their site. They accomplished that, but probably not in the way they had envisioned. That was about a year and a half ago. I saw Adrian on line a few weeks ago....guess he decided not to post.
You seem like an adventurous soul. You may want to prospect on over to the Introduction section and tell us about yourself. Looks like you picked the right thread for your first post.Quote:
