    Your Thoughts On These Laavu?

    Any body had any experience of these, was thinking of getting one from SOS. They ship all their stuff internationally. (Finnish site so use google translate if you want to browse.) http://www.scandinavianoutdoorstore.com/teltat-ja-majoittuminen/laavut-ja-louteet/rankinen-vihe-1/

    Billy can VS Kettle

    Heres, something I wrote a while back in antother thread, it seems it may be of discussional use. I think the kettle is best. Just for the record, no causal link has been found between cooking in aluminium pots and Alzheimer’s. It’s just one of those pseudo studies based on bad science that...

    Preparedness, do any practise it?

    I seem to have upset some people? Civility, the lack there of: What most term the ‘state’ is in fact a collection of rules and structures (legal, financial, etc) that allow us to live together in relative, by this I mean not killing each other, peace. To live without these civil...

    Preparedness, do any practise it?

    I've travelled around America by train, oddly unlike most of the natives. I admit some of it was nice, but an awful lot of it was sage brush and stunted trees and endless prarie from what I saw..... Without oil to pump ground water and make fertilizer a lot of what is termed 'farmland' in the...

    Attaching paracord to tarp eyelet

    I carve a small toggle and tie it to the guy line. Just push it through the loop when you want it on, or off, even with gloved hands or in the dark. You don’t get any quicker than this when setting up or putting away and it can even be done reaching high above your head on tippy toes. The...

    Whos cut their finger?

    Cheers for the gore diagram doc, I stand corrected. By muscles I meant big important ones (There’s a joke there somewhere:D ). I agree with the tendon repair, had my ankle re-stabilised after a career ending rugby injury. It took a long time to heal and I still feel the rivets come the...

    Preparedness, do any practise it?

    Rik, I agree, it’s not that I don’t think taking responsibility for yourself isn’t your personal duty, after all how can you help someone else if you are yourself in trouble, it’s just that as a modern community human beings flourish by joint effort and this should be the focus when the chips...

    Preparedness, do any practise it?

    Gunslinger, you can horde food but in a real crisis someone will rob you of it. You may arm yourself to protect your food, but a better armed gang will still overpower you and take your food or worse. Are you the sort of man who will stand by and watch your innocent neighbour’s child...

    Whos cut their finger?

    I think this thread should be entitled who doesn’t cut their fingers.....:D Fortunate thing about your hand is there are only tendons in it and no muscle. If you cut yourself with a sharp tool cleanly, you can usually be fixed by simple stitching. If you ever cut through a tendon it...

    Preparedness, do any practise it?

    Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes." ----Senica I think this sums up preparedness/survivalism and how this thinking can taint your view of life. If nothing happens you have wasted your one and only short life...
