Sounds... weird... but I'll think about it. I did see an idea by Neal, from Greencraft, where he used a home-made money belt to carry a buck saw blade. Did cross my mind. It's a different project. My idea stemmed from wanting to carry rope as backup but have its weight utilised instead of it...

I think your skepticism is antiquated, Mr. Mod. That I don’t represent the norm is a given and perhaps the prospect of mentioned duality stirs something within you but that is, as they say, yours, not mine. I backpacked an accumulated duration of roughly seven years out of my life. I feel...
