    poisonous hobo stove?

    Good reasoning Macaroon. Lets say i make a hobo stove with a broken ss water boiler i found. I guess even if it would get glowing red, it wouldnt be close enough to welding temperatures. Is that what you mean? That would relieve my concern about chromium. What about nickel? Does anyone know...

    poisonous hobo stove?

    I found out that stainless steel usually has chromium and nickel. During welding "hexavalent chromium" fumes are released. I have also read in some health webpages that because of the nickel content, you are not supoused to cook very acid foods in stainless steel pots, or keep using them once...

    poisonous hobo stove?

    I have made several hobo stoves out of regular tin cans, the last of them way too complicated. Once it was ready, after the first burn, i became suspicious about the materials the cans were made of, as i could clearly see how some thin layer burnt off from the inside of them. I made some...

    anoying predators / concealment against predators

    hanging it from a rope is not a good concealment im talking about any kind of equipment, but mostly simple tools and food. Of course, just using enough trash bags you can make anything waterproof, so hiding stuff underwater could be a possibiliti, if there is a water source big enough. Of...

    anoying predators / concealment against predators

    Every time i leave anything (gear, provisions...) hidden and well concealled in the ground of the forest, pictures of the digging of wildpigs come to my mind. The good smell sense of this animalls (and bears, foxes...) is well known, and even in some countries, they are used to find some kind...

    tracking through moss or soft snow

    the white thing next to the track is a measuring tape, but the names are not clear. next time i'll try to make better photos the substrate is quite thin, and in most of the place the moss and grass grow almost directly on the sand

    tracking through moss or soft snow

    In the forest close to where i live the ground is most of the times covered with a mix of moss, some grass, and pine debris. I find many tracks around. Just holes through the moss, and I know they are tracks cuz they are in a line and in a track common order. But there is no way i could say how...
