    Someone has been done for carry Zombie knives.

    BBC - Zombie Knives Not sure why they are on about Zombie knives as from the description they were stopped and had fixed blades on them with no good reason.

    Sterno Inferno stove kit - looks interesting

    Just seen a Paleo-HikerMD video on this stove and looks really interesting for anyone who uses a meths burner. Unfortunately it looks like a US only product with the price increase and postage on top possibly making it pointless to buy.

    What would be the use of throwing spikes?

    Forget the vaguely pointless use as a weapon and the evidence seems to be they were carried for multiple other uses so what are those uses?

I have a gravity filter set up so a 5 litre dirty water bag that drains though a filter into a clean water bag. I carry an Anker 26,800mah Power Bank. Are we saying that using modern tech like 3d...
