I think I have abandoned the 3 ounce restriction. K9 I really like the picture of your chosen drink. That's always worth a thousand words.

Hello Julia, I will see if I can post a couple.

A picture of the shelters with the long log fire, large wood. I hope this works. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=696232080485742&l=06f3145a26

Hello All!! Had an interesting trip this weekend and I thought I would give a quick overview. So our local Search and Rescue group was doing an overnight training trip and I was asked to come along. There are a few rules on these trips that are designed to simulate an unplanned overnight...

Thanks for the warning Santaman. I will make sure not to pack any ice, and will avoid any if this vile temptation should present itself!!

Ha Ha Ha!! Yes, I can see that being a problem. I will have to keep an eye on that.

I like the suggestions to up the volume. I have a small "larder" that contains all of my consumables. However, the right drink might justify a small flask. My plan is that the supplies live in the pack. I know alcohol in general keeps well for years. Has anyone heard of any issues with...

Yes Robson. I read about the C134 in the news. I see you recommended the Pojar book. I agree it's an excellent source of info. I also pick up anything by Nancy Turner when it comes to indigenous use of plants. I was told that sour grass makes a passable lemon substitute but I have never...

Santaman that recipe sounds highly intruiging. I just bought a pound of powdered butter. Do you think this would work in a pinch as a substitute for real butter?

Grand suggestions all gentlemen. I consider it my solemn duty to sample as many suggestions as possible. Rostov I will have to check on the legality of everclear. I know it can be purchased across the border in Alaska but I am not certain about here in BC. I like the suggestion of mountain...

I am going to have to try the suggestions mentioned here. Maybe I will film the process so you all can see how it turns out. First up will be chinook salmon with a stinging nettle side dish. I can't think of what might work for a starch/ potato rice substitute.

Thanks Jon and British Red. You can count on me sampling both those no doubt fine beverages.

I was going to ask this on my earlier thread, however I thought it warranted it's own discussion. As I stated in the spices post, I am trying to add a few creature comforts into my sub 15 pound bushcraft pack. I have allotted myself 3 ounces for alcohol (not to be used for dis-infect ant if...

Consider it done. I will pick some up and try it over the next couple of days. Thanks for the tip. I've never tried this spice. I do really enjoy other Zatarans products such as the black bean and rice mixture.

Hello All, I am sure this has already been discussed however I did a quick search and didn't find anything. I am trying to get my pack under 15 pounds but still have everything I need not just to survive, but to enjoy my time in the bush. My wife is often with me and she doesn't appreciate...

Hello Santaman. I had forgotten that I did up a film last year of a failed moose hunt. Here is the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHoZA4luYxw It gives you an idea of the country and some of the techniques that don't work!!

Thanks santaman!! Can you believe that people have caught chinook twice that size? I can't imagine how they land it. After you asked for moose hunting pictures I just remembered that I did up a film of my buddy and I hunting moose last year. We didn't get anything, but it gives you an idea...

Red Salmon that is an awesome photo!! The country looks very unique. We wouldn't get much habitat like that here. If you don't mind I would like to ask a few questions? What kind of salmon is that? What fishing techniques do you use? One thing I have seen guys doing here lately is to cut...

You got it Santaman. I will make sure to take pictures the next time I go out. In the meantime, I would appreciate a little feedback on the video I posted in the "Giant Salmon" thread. My buddy is looking to pitch a fishing show, and would like to know where he needs to improve.

I am not sure what happened but my last post seems to have disappeared. Anyway, here is the link to a film my friend did about the catching of this salmon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4rEoR-gROc Watch for the Spyderco bushcraft UK on my hip!!
