Grandpa, Seems like I posted in the wrong forum. Meant to respond to the question posted below.

Seems some are asking for content. There are stories waiting to be told and adventures that are needing to be written. There are also tools we will need when we re-enter the wilderness. What skills are necessary and how can you as a member of this forum contribute? We all have skills we...

Blue jeans, straw hat, slingshot hanging out, gathering rocks and talking about freedom to all that will listen.

Laugh, Cappy, I was trying to do a play on words (Cappy vs the Brim of a Cap).. Never was good at pulling something silly like that off.. Kinda like the Camo'd and Commode play on words.. Probably did not win any friendship from the OP either. Does seem like fashion and marketing do drive...

Cappy, you, more than all the others, should understand someone needing a camo light when it is attached to the brim of a camo cap. If it does not match, it will stick out and will not look right. Even easier to understand, when using a small, micro LED keychain, attached to either a zipper, or...

Fire Cracker.. Now that is a great idea and easy to execute (if prepared). Thank you for the added awareness of woofing/jaw snapping. Having a loud whistle, (fox 40 is the one attached to my pack), and a simple air horn (have a small one that will be very easy to carry), seems a wise thing to...

Welcome back! Moving helps us declutter. Soon, you will be able to relax and spread out. It is great to have friends!

Would blowing a whistle loudly helped? What about waving a couple of trekking poles to make you look larger and more dangerous? Did picking up the rock help in any way? Ultimately they did the right things at the right time. Would any of the above techniques have provoked an attack? I do agree...

ppine, Boy Scout Motto: Be prepared The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The thinking man survives, If I were in need of a tribe of nomadic survivors, I would want you and many of...

There is beauty in everything; not everyone sees it

Survival: one mans opinion. Probably discussed many times on this forum. A bear, a deer, a squirrel, a dog all survive, meeting their needs in the wild. They drink water, find food and find shelter, at times they attract a mate and interact, maintaining their species. With no survival gear at...

Since no one else responded: a flashlight is an attention getter, yet if it is small enough it can be hidden by your hand. When needed, I would prefer it to stand out from my other gear or be attached to something that can be easily found in the dark. Losing a flashlight can be a dangerous...

I once got lost in the third cave at Morrison Springs in Ponce de Leon. You have very little time to figure it out... Lost for 10 seconds, but worrisome and lost none the less Cave diving back in 1973 was a lot more dangerous/foolish than it is today. The third cave has been closed for decades...

Technology.. My old, tube type CB radios are over 40 years old and work as well today as they did when I first set them up, yet a smart phone only lives its useful life to reach the end of its 2 year contract. Looking at the field of the latest GPS technology (while trying to make an educated...
