    What would you NOT eat

    Yeah, but seriously what comes out of the sea that you can not eat ? There isnt really a lot that is totally inedible, although I cant see me eating jellyfish any time soon. Tant

    Eating Maggots

    They also secrete antibiotics , which makes sense considering where they can be found they need some protection. No I am not about to try this but .................. My guess would be to collect them and then starve them for a day or 2 , put them in bran has been mentioned, sawdust is what...

    DeHydrated Water

    Only 1/18th lighter sorry , and I dont think it would be very stable or that you would want to be near it. The OH- ion is the active ion of an alkali and pure OH if you could get it might possibly eat anything you put it in. Meanwhile..... Anyone wishing to buy dehydrated water please...

    Survival Knife stabs US Navy Aviator

    Check the safety Check the safety Check the safety I know it is a pain with any equipment, but it really is rule 1, specially in the armed forces with all sorts of pointy / shooty / explosive things. Not really a lot more to say on this is there ? Tant

    Need to have vs want to have.

    To be honest I have a "less than 3 inch" slipjoint in my pocket all the time. Not really a SAK fan so its a stainless laguiole at the moment but I have different ones. If I am going out with a task in mind I will generally pick up a fixed blade before I leave the house, depending on if I...

    Need to have vs want to have.

    It is a lot easier and more hygenic to clean "stuff" off a fixed blade than to get it out from the insides of a SAK. Specifically as you mentioned cleaning fish. Tant

    damascus pattern

    Try asking your question on BB Personally I wouldn't worry too much about the pattern and would expect it to come back up with normal use anyway. Some people have been known to use mustard , the vinegar will help cause a little oxidation which will vary in places depending on the steel...

    Tanto Blade

    Last time I used one was to help butcher a lamb It was a Stiff KISS from CRKT and I wanted to give it a whizz though I really bought it because of its minimal space would make it ideal to dump at the bottom of a rucksack and keep there for emergency when all else is mislaid or broken. I...
