    Sandals?

    I do some hiking, not as much as I would like, but some and use the same boots winter and summer. I don't change them out because they are a good sturdy pair and are finally fitted to my feet enough that they are easy to wear. My question is: Do any of you use sandals in the summer to hike in...

    Neolithic man had survival kits...!!

    My wife carries an enormous purse and I'd hazard a guess to say we could live out of it for a week if it came down to it. :D I do carry a knife and some things I consider necessary to my daily life. Basic needs haven't changed over time.

    Rented a cottage on the lake

    Sounds wonderful! My wife and I are thinking about renting a cabin at one of our local state parks just to get away from our norm. We usually camp at one certain place, but I think we are going for something a bit different this time.

    Ammo is returning

    I haven't been in the market for ammo, but I'm extremely glad to hear the news. I don't go hunting as often as I would like. I'm sure the companies were just holding off manufacturing to see what transpired before they again ramped up production. Plus, a lot were afraid a ban was going to be put...

    House hold items

    I use tupperware or it's equivalent for a lot of things. They are just handy to carry stuff in, especially stuff which could be harmed by water such as rain or the occasional stream I fall in. Ziplock bags have also been the best invention since sliced bread.

    Archeological Finds

    We've never found anything other than a skunk and we quickly diverted our path to stay out of his. Other than that, nothing of note other than a few bones from scavenged animal carcasses.

    Mothers Day

    Add my "Happy Mother's Day" to the mix. My Mom isn't with us anymore but my wife and daughter in law deserve a great day since they have to put up with me and our son. :D

    If You Were To Choose...

    If you were allowed to choose just one spot to be stranded in the wilderness, where would that one spot be? I would prefer to be stranded in the Smokey Mountains. The place is full of game, fresh water, shelter in the raw and plants that you can eat without preparation. So, where would your spot be?

    Of interest to all outdoors people...

    It pulled up fine for me. Thanks for the link Pathfinder1. There is no knowledge so complete that someone else can't come up with another idea for something better.

    Knives for different purposes

    I would rather have my old Case than any other knife I've ever seen. My father used it before me and it will stand in good stead with my son when it passes to him. You can do anything with the knife that you want to do. It may not be idea, but it will suffice.

    Flavored with Mustard

    I've used it before, but it's just not to my taste. I'm a sugar junkie and love a honey barbecue flavor. That's usually what I go with after I've cooked the meat.

    Your thoughts on this?

    We have a local climbing spot the college kids like to get high and try to climb. Needless to say, there are a lot of rescues that happen there when there is enough of them to scrape up after a header off of the cliff. We have a lot of college aged kids who don't need to be off of the parental...

    Shooting for the throat?

    Go for the chest first. Just remember if they are still trying to get up, add a couple to the head to keep them down if they are out to get you. When you are trying to save yourself, there is no such thing as unnecessary force.

    Trigger Finger

    ...and I'm not joking. I have already had an injection in my left middle finger. Now I have had to have an injection in my left thumb. Doc says it's all trigger finger and he wasn't too concerned about it. Does anyone have any idea why this happens or what I can do to avoid it? I don't mind a...

    Cedar planks

    I don't like fish except to catch and give away. Sounds like a good way to cook fish though. The buffalo I would have loved, I love buffalo meat and would love to have one of those bad boys in my freezer taking up space.
