Maybe the Randolph B. Marcy challenge? Crockett in all truth didn't do much more than get killed when he got down here, sounds horrible I know and I love Crockett from a historical perspective. Marcy trekked the area through the panhandle and the rest of the plains states. He even wrote a...

Life has been crazy and I haven't stepped into this forum in a long-while. I hop back in here and find this, I am so in. I am not sure when I will be able to get out, but I am in. My kit need to be different as I am in an area that is a little dryer than where Boon traveled. I will need to...

I've had one of these packs for a couple years now. Found it for about 10 dollars brand new and used if for a long time to carry my paintball gear. Now it's been turned into an overnight bag. Really like the new way to thread the clips I'm grabbing it now so I can redo them. It's a great...

Depends on how long I'm out for. Just a day or an overnighter generally I take my shoulder bag as it'll hold everything i need to carry with me.

I've actually never played with bannock very much. Can anyone explain why raisins are so common in the recipes?

I am a prepper. I live in the middle of Tornado country but also in this part of Texas we see massive nontornadic storms and massive heatwaves in the summer and lows below freezing in the winter as well as ice storms so we can lose power basically any time of year. So I keep supplies in the...

Very well done.

Was requested to show a break down of my cookset from my Condor 10x4 pouch so that's what I shall do. Here's the pouch all closed up, the shoulder strap is a piece of climbing cord. I used a cobra stitch to attach 550 paracord to it to make a shoulder pad so it would cut into me, it actually...

It is a fantastic piece of kit, allows me to haul my shelter in with me and once in position allows use as storage for forage, as you said, but also works well for collecting tinder and anything else that may need to be picked up on the trail away from your base camp. This one also has a cinch...

My new weekend kit is is all based on molle. This has everything I need for 2 days except bedroll, which I wear over my other should and the tarp that goes into the dump pouch. Here's the front. A shot from the side. And here it is broken apart. Starting at the left...

It's easier if the tree is dead. Basically split the limb you are using and collect the pith and shave it down and you get maya dust.

Actually working on my first hobo stove I"ll get pictures when I can just waiting for some things to be delivered. Finally found a place in the States the sell Zebra Billy cans.

No problems with mine at all. Never had any leaks unless I didn't tighten it enough.

In the freezer. Under the ice the ice tray.

I'll take the knife, which is a Swiss Army, the matches, and the flashlight. I'm taking these things since they are always in my car and they were in my car when I was in up in Colorado and on some back roads and my car broke down a few years ago. It was a small road through a pass that was...

I grabbed some prickly pears earlier today from behind the neighbors house, I did get his permission first. As the plants are on his property.

Gorgeous piece. Very nice indeed.

Tarp most often. I enjoy making and using natural shelters but as I'm normally in West Texas for my excursions I don't have the material to really work with. Juniper and Mesquite are generally the only things I can use and they don't work to well for a shelter. When I'm up in the mountains I...

Wow I've helped fell trees before and if the people I was with were doing that I think I would just walk away and not come back.

So many choices when I search may brain. So many people I admire, here we have the downside of being a history major. Leonidas Boudica Aristotle Lief Ericson Thomas Paine Thomas Jefferson John Adams Alexander Hamilton Andrew Jackson Jim Bridger Daniel Morgan William T. Sherman...
