Multicam is the real deal. The Canadian made smock above is the best made anywhere. You have to experience it first hand to believe it. Incredible piece of kit. Hound

A folder is not a bushcraft blade no matter how much you rationalize it. Hound

What a Liberal sit on the fence comment that is. Had 2 Mora's both are in pieces left where they broke. Fact is there is a heirarchy of steel whether a persons feelings are hurt or not because their $200 custom blades steel is middle of the road. Baton it into large log and pry it for...

What you need is a thick closed cell foam mattress cut to fit INSIDE your bag. ;) Problem solved. Hound

That it is. :rolleyes: Hound

To trust your life to just any carbon or stainless steel is foolish. I have owned and used MANY a blade in my day and have broke most doing bushcraft. Not only can I carve a spoon with a battle mistress I can chop and split wood and pry and pretty much do anything else I feel like doing with...

Anything buy Busse/Swamprat is worth the investment. All other steels are second rate. Allan Blade would give his testicles for Busse's infi steel. http://www.bussecombat.com/home/ http://www.swampratknifeworks.com/ Hound

FYI, Anyone who knows anything about hammocks knows the Clark Jungle Hammock is tops in every way imaginable. I had a Hennessy and returned it within a week after I saw my mates Clark. There is no comparrison possible. http://www.junglehammock.com/ Hennessy wins the marketing battle...

Just to be clear Doc, it is great to have highly trained Docs and paramedics in the bush as well because their scope of practice is so much higher than a first responder. :wink: . Also when I say 2 days from help that could be only 5km from a major road but it takes that long to evac them...

Guys FYI, There is a world of difference between tauma in an ER and long term managment of injuries with limited equipment in the outdoors. Our courses we run have paramedics, nurses and Dr's on it who had no idea there is another world of prehostpital care they were not trained on. It is...

First off congrats on carrying some solution as it can be a lefesaver under certain circumstances. Plain old gator aid powder is cheaper than dedicated rehydration formula. :wink: Believe it or not heat exhaustion comes quickly and easily to many people every year and is usually caused by...

I never said use salt tablets under normal circumstances as it is not needed for the most part. When one finds themselves in a heat exhausted state from days of profuse sweating you will die without salt no question. This is not an old wives tale but documented fact by the WHO in third world...

By the very nature of a survival situation you don't know what it will be or you'd avoid it. That being said if you find yourself short of salt in your system you'll realize the err of your ways in a very painfull and regretable manner between convulsions. Salt, sugar and water are ALL key...

It must have worked or they wouldn't be doing it. Who are we to argue over 10,000 years of aboriginal success. why it works? Who knows :?: . There are traditional medical practices that have been used since the dawn of man and scientists today have no understanding why they work or even...

Greg, I realy don't understand this concept. I mean most first aid organizations train people to do what they know and only up to their level of training. This also protects them legally. If a subject has no pulse and is not breathing how can you screw up CPR honestly? What is the worst...
