Help me to shut my mouth untill i'll know what i'm talking about !

Thank you, i'll give it a go !!

well, in the " wilderness " of the netherlands , you often need no more than a pocketknife, the Glock was given to me ,i would not buy one myself, for me it is a jack of all trades, i am not a person for fancy expensive knives, i use stuff, it has to be durable and it does the job.

I often carry a glock 78 fieldknife on my backpack, i would like to drill trough the handle to get a lanyard trough, did any one do this , what's inside ??, or do i just demolish a very good knife, what the hell are these holes on both sides for ? , what is your experience with the glock knive ??

I like the idea of teddy, very nice way to show us your adventures, someone in Holland once stole a garden gnome ,he was a sailor in the navy and send pictures from the gnom from all over the world to the people who had owned the gnom.

Dutch army and marines are issued now with a new load bearing vest, wich replaces the old model wich had a alice clip system, and laces on the sides to make it the right size. Our soldiers saying i want to fight with my gear, not against it, wich would be nice when using it in Uruzgan. Strange...

searchin in the world of survivalbooks you should read " Come Back Alive " from Robert Young Pelton, he wrote a fantastic book that put your feet back on the ground again.

I won't tell any stories John :censored:

If i had the choice i would go for the real army one, try a dutch army one, it comes in a green solid rubber pouch and they cost next to nothing, trust me i digged some holes with one, never had one broken, stay away from the cheap aluminium look alikes they are worth nothing !!, i saw the nato...

you got me there !!:rolleyes:

i agree , i never used a fishing line also , maybe a twist of the mind ,i don't know, but i like to think, it is not really a survival tin but more or less a back up for if things go wrong, why not take only a cell phone to the barren lands and order a pizza ??.

I have to admid, never used mine also, but then again you,ll never know what is on your path out there, never carry a cell phone also, it has about the same weight, but then i go for the tin, i dead celphone ,or one that is out of range does not help me in any way.

I don't usually carry one, because i have some items in my pack, but when going hiking in the ardennes i carry one on my belt, in a seperate pouch ,for me this is an old tobacco tin, about double the size of an altoids tin. In there i have a magnesium fire striker, wire saw, pocketknife, needle...

I wonder of any of you guys keep a survival tin in your pocket, and if you do, what did you find was actually worth carrying ?.

This is my daypack; Most of the time when going out, i wear a 35 liter pack, a dutch army one or a snugpack patrolpack. In the side pockets, water bottle, metal cup. toiletpaper, first aid kit, spork, folding cup ,small bottle of iodine and some coffee filters, saw, notebook and pencil, some...

Nice pictures, nice boats, i own a coleman ram X 13 feet canoe, it is a sturdy boat, witch can take a good abuse , it can take two persons, but it's doing a good job paddled by one alone also, best is then to take some heavy luggage. i am planning to do some overnight trips would take two...

In the lid you can plug a tube to use in a chemical contaminated area.

especcially in a hand wich is a complex piece of art ,with sinew, mussel and tissue, a lot can go wrong, if been cut trough to the bone, as Dave says, chances are you cut one of these, chances are ,some fingers will never work again.

all i have with me most of time is a field dressing a little bottle of iodine and small tweezers, never let me down yet.

first aid methods that i favor most is the things i learned in the service, followed several civilan first aid courses afterwards, but the basic and simple things works best for my point of view. I followed Dave Canterburys efforts on the tube, and untill this item ,i tought he was a pretty...
