I've heard of cotton pickin wool.

It's for camouflage. In the northern climates use it to simulate and blend in with snow. In the southern climates use it to hide in cotton fields.

I'm trying to imagine the size of a tampon needed to camouflage one of you guys ANYWHERE,that would be one HUGE tampon.......

Welcome....

Thanks for the question ask me any more if you have any!

I've just moved your thread over to the "Survival Kit Info" Sticky where I feel it belongs, understand?

It's not there anymore, I moved it over here. The intro section is where you tell us about you, not what you carry in your pockets, understand?

[crashdive123]

Hey Pal334 - how about heading over to the introduction section and tell us about yourself. Thanks.

[crashdive123]

When you say survival kit, what are you imagining that you would need it for? I ask because it's intended use will be important when planning what goes in it.

[GreatWhiteHunter]

well i have it all done,and i have these things because i go into the wood alot and thats mainly where im camping

[crashdive123]

OK - you see, when you use the terminology "survival kit" I envision those items needed to keep you alive in a "survival situation" which is quite a bit different than camping. But hey, if it's done and you like it.......

[RangerXanatos]

A couple of things that caught my eye right off the bat...

1. Why the hatchet? You already have a saw and and axe...
2. I didn't see any rope listed?
3. Only one way to start a fire?
4. What about something to eat?
5. How about a whistle?
6. I hope you have a compass with that map and know how to use it.
7. Nobody's kit is perfect...

Based on some other threads GWH - #6 on RX's list of suggestions should be way up on the top of things to add.

A Peterbilt 379 or a Kenworth 900 should round out the package.

thats gay advice.the guns for food,and the hatchet is for lighter self defense

Careful which lines you cross GWH. You posted a list and asked for opinions. Remember this......if you don't like the answer, don't ask the question.

What Crash said!

GWH,have you checked out the posts others have posted of their kits?? Do a search and check them out if you haven't,you may find quite a few things you may need to rethink in your own kit.
