Gabe is right, Petzyl is touchy about using Lithiums! After some recent unexpected trail hiking at night, I looked into headlamps for trails. What I found was the Myo RXP which uses lithiums. I have the XP which is fine for camp, but the run time is too short for me on a longer trip. The...

Petzyl is comming out with the Myo RXP in January. This is a headlamp worth waiting for!

I ordered mine November last year, still waiting!

I used these two items on my last trip. I think both places ship overseas, but I'll tell you guys a secret! The rod is no ordinary Ferro rod. I'm not sure what its made of, but its heavier than other Ferro rods. 2 sizes are sold. I have this rod. The other rod is bigger and twice the...

Try this link for a very easy trap to build. Its called a bird trap, but you can get other annimals also. Its a live annimal trap made with sticks and ajust a little cordage! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iR_3zWd0hA Here's a trapping link, not Bushcraft, but some trapping info...

Someone asked me to buy some gear in the USA and ship it to the UK. I declined for now, but I did seek out who would ship to the UK. I started an inquiry on my home forum at survival.com. You have to be logged in to view the post due to security measures, but I'll try to post what I've...

Ron Hood covers this in one of his videos. He even has Halle-Bopp on film as he was teaching this lesson.

I apreciate the info. I will check with the people in Texas I buy from about their supply. They have had supply problems in the past. If you guys can find them, you'll apreciate the wide mouth. We have Clean Kanteens everywhere here and even 1 liter steel bottles, the same diameter as the...

Several people I know are getting Guyot bottles. I think Nalgene just bought them out. The mouth is the same size as a one liter Nalgene bottle. I reccomend the bigger 38 oz Standard size. It will fit into the Nalgene bottle holders, insulated or not. The hot setup is to get a Maxpedition...

There are challenges for one from another culture to converse here. You guys may be thinking of something different than others. A length of stay was not mentioned. Most here may have a shorter visit to the bush in mind. But if you throw in a longer length of stay, answers may be different...

I'm in the Ron Hood school of thought on SAKs. Wenger or Victorinox, Big blade, locking blade, saw. He calls the SAK as your "primary knife." I have a Rucksack that sits on a shelf. I replaced it with a one handed Trekker. It has a phillips head screwdriver which allows me to carry the...

Pointers from the colonies. Nail polish on ferro rods [flint] is a good idea. Its the body oils that will corrode the flint. Simple moisture is OK. Even pocket carry can corrode the flint. I polish all mine. When scraping the magnesium, hold your knife at 90 degrees to scrape. You are not...

Swiss Army Knife with saw Big Platypus plastic water container Cholorine Dioxine water treatment Magnesium Flint stick Gotta admit, you guys make me think. Would a hand axe be better than a good knife, if you had to choose between the two?

EdS gave a good link, but I think some one misread info somewhere. Check the correct percentage on your bottle, then refer to the chart paying attention to the percentages. You may have to alter your dose. The Cody Lundin books say "2% tinture of iodine per liter of water and let sit...

If It smells like a skunk, then the whole world should know! I don't recommend many books, but their first book is a must for anyone's library. Many "real" skills are taught. When I lost nearly all my library a few years ago, their first book was the first to be replaced. They have a...

I'm usually on another forum, but one of your members introduced himself in a nice way on our forum. So I thought I would sit a spell here when my limited time permits. I was informed about Lord Baden Powell as a kid and signed up. Those were good days! I'm 53 now. There is really not all...
