Exactly! Thanks :) :)

Hi guy's, I finally was able to find what I was looking for! Men..., I love Google search :) My memory serves me better then I thought; it's pretty much what I described. Only..., now I have the name and can get in contact with ppl. that actually could help me prepare and maybe some aftercare...

Hi all, It has been a long time since I was on the forum. I am here because I am looking for the name of a practice. I thought it was a practice of American indians, but I might be mistaken. What I remember of this practice, but again, I am not sure if my memory serves me well.... is that it...

Made from leather, it seems like a very good idear :). Nice one

ok thanks. So there isn't some specific thread that is ultra strong and must be used for a backpack repair. I will then probably use the dyneema braided fishing line I alway's have on me for sewing purposes. Pretty thin and still very strong. Yeah, I will bring a strong needle...

Hi all, I have a Bach Slim Mac backpack. It can handle 30 kilo's. I will indeed start my next trip with 30 kilo's (two weeks food inside). My question: can a shoulder strap be fixed in the field if it breaks? I mean if it breaks at the stiching? I suppose it can, but what kind of thread do I...

Wow, Dave that's exactly what I like to try. Nice job. I bet that feels like heaven after a hard day's work outdoors. It looks so comfy. Jared, I am glad you posted the link. I just bought the jungle chair they sell. If I get cold while sitting in it, I will shove a few hot rocks underneath it...

Hi all, Some time ago I saw a thread (or might have been an article) about a piece of canvas (or similar) with which you can make a chair. I think it might have had eyes/rivets on it. The structure used to make this chair was a kind of tripod/tipee made from sturdy branches. I can not remember...

I do own the Shimano Exage BX STC Spin travel rod. I have the version that is 2,70m. It does feel good to hold. The transport casing/tube is a little heavy (450 gram I believe with the rod in it). The casing is 65 cm in length. For fishing from the shore/rock I tend to use the longer rods...

Thanks Joonsy, this definately is a simple way to economicaly (with regard to packsize) store leaders. Hahaha, did not think about it at all. Like with many simple solutions sometimes they don't come that easy. I can use ziplock baggies because that's what I have laying around here. So simple...

This is not legal in a lot of places. True.... You have to check your local regulations. It is a very good item for any survival kit. Sometimes you are alowed to use it for sea fishing only, whitout being in a survival situation. In the US there are some states where you can use it freely (there...

Here is how I made my newest nightline. A pictorial. You only need the line itself. I used tarred nylon that does not rot or unravel. The other nylon is just cheap nylon with a light color. This makes it easyer for you to detect your droppers when checking your line or when you attach the...

Hi all, Till now, I have not been able to come up with a way to realy conveniently store droppers for a night line/bank line. I have given it quite some thought but can't come up with any realy good way to make sure the lines do not get tangled. I always manage to keep my lines knot free, yet I...

That does sound like a very unpleasant experience... Naaasty predators those midges! Unbelievable how those little insects can "spoil your day" even day's later...

There might be enough clams or even fish available to collect/catch yet they are also hungry which makes you feel cold... they are trying not to get wet and it rains a lot. I think those are big complicating factors in them not being "able" to go out and collect enough food. And like being said...
