Quite an interesting interview on the "Dr. Lo" podcast on this topic: This is a podcast from a lady, Dr. Lauren Noel, who is a naturopathic doctor with an interest in the Paleo diet. She has a lot of very different and quite unusual guests. This one is talking about herbal antibiotics...

These seem to be SADF issue but actually made in Australia. Maybe this is the maker? http://www.warlordindustries.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=51 Even quite a solid-looking pouch in Auscam here: http://www.ace-tac.com/products_show.asp?id=169 This stuff seems...

So I recently bought a new one. It's the genuine thing, made by BCB, not some Chinese copy. It's a classic and has endured for over half a century. So far so good. OK, as plastics go the Osprey product is pretty innocuous. No BPA. AFAIK, it's high-density polythene (or maybe polyurethane)...

I know this topic has come up several times in the past, so apologies for bringing it up again. What are current good choices? I bought one of these from Flecktarn a long while back but, although they do show a photo of an Osprey bottle in it, I found it to be such a tight fit ...

From the programme "I Caveman". He's also using a spearthrower (atatl as they say here -- or woomera out as the boys Down Under would say). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrHCpxoBcyU

This process is how maize ("Indian corn") used to be prepared for eating by people in the Americas pre-contact. Basically, you treat the kernels of maize with an alkaline solution. It makes the maize easier to grind, but, more importantly, also improves its nutritional value, in particular...

So here's a how-to on the ultimate wilderness food, pemmican: http://www.traditionaltx.us/images/PEMMICAN.pdf And on the interesting history of it—it was, after all, nothing less than what the Hudsons Bay company ran on—who better than Vilhjalmur Stefansson? http://filesocial.com/76ir94o

I noticed Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall had a programme on bread, so I thought I'd watch it. I don't actually own a telly and rarely watch anything, but I'm prepared to make an exception now and then. :-) Anyway, I missed the first 20 minutes but saw the rest and thought it good viewing. H. F-W...

I used that title for a bit of fun - which I'll get to in a minute. But this thread is really to make a book recommendation. I'm now part-way through a book that I think many people here might enjoy for the insight it gives into biological life, human and non-human. Specifically, the book...

Does anyone know of a good source in Britain for bandana handkerchiefs? Either silk or cotton would do. I sometimes like to wear one in the summer - not so much on the head but often round the neck to catch the sweat, or to stop my neck burning if I'm out in the sun for a really long time...

I was thinking of picking up another. I didn't really like the look of the ones from Craghoppers, etc. in Blacks/Millets, and thought them overpriced for what they were. I think I'd probably prefer cotton, too. The first thing Google throws up is one from Orvis that is cotton poplin and...

Here's a couple of unusual videos. This is a Frenchman who's developed an exercise method based on Georges Hebert's Methode Naturelle. He says it's a travesty that civilisation has got modern humans in a state where most can't function as natural athletes in their natural environment. The...

I was in Waterstone's today and came across a new paperback called Jungle Soldier by Brian Moynahan. The subject of it is a naturalist, arctic explorer, and survival expert called Freddy Spencer Chapman. He was in Malaya during the war and went behind Japanese lines observing and sabotaging...
