It is very interesting and disturbing how liberal media sources are quick to make excuses for acts which follow Sharia law, but which go against the actual laws of this country; however, they are...

Ralph, I wish I could sew well, because I occasionally get some good gear ideas. Instead of making gear though, I usually end up using my limited sewing ability to just modify gear that I've...

Great article Aron, thanks.

I'm not sure of your saw sizes and not sure I understand exactly what you're looking for...but I made a very durable but light sleeve with draw string top for saw/blades/and hatchet from an old pair...

I've never made Bannock, although will have to look into that as it sounds interesting.

My wife and I have taken margarine and oil backpacking many times previously in the various plastic...

Thanks, good stuff.

Agree with everyone else.

I've only been witness to one mountain lion attack. A few years ago my bird dog (wearing dog collar and a bell) was about 30-40 yds ahead of me on a mountain trail and...

Ya, I guess the theory was to take the trapped carbon energy source in wood/plants and burry it deep within the earth (anaerobic environment) where it is safe from breakdown into CO2 by bacteria and...

I'm not so sure that sin taxes have no effect. Maybe they don't entirely change a culture, but they seem to curb the amount of use of a product.

When you mentioned CO2 filters it got me...

I don't see carbon tax as anything to do with helping the planet. It is just yet another tax and manner of government control. What is wrong with gas tax?...where everyone pasy for what they use,...

Sab -- true, not much additive effect I suppose.
Additionally, if freezing did occur, the portion remaining as liquid would become more concentrated with electrolytes and potentially less...

Thanks for the link. That is an interesting but spendy alternative (tube warmer). I haven't tried their other recommendations (routing tube under your arm and inside the jacket) as these seem...

I love having a filter and always put clean water in bottles and bladder...and in this way the water always taste pristine and bladders last for a long time. I use the old Pur (now Katadyne) Hiker...

I would think twice about the hammocks in cold weather as stated above, but also with rainy weather (I like getting dressed out of the rain) or if you aren't a good back sleeper .

I have a...

I'm waiting on an ordered Timberline...and can't wait! I have used the gun bearer the last few years off and on and love it for going off road and through brush. It is often much better than having...

When I was a teen, my brothers and I did the homemade gorilla suit thing and ran across the road at the edge of the headlights infront of our crazy nearest neighbor, who had previously sworn there...

Elmbow -- great advice. That has been my exact experience as well. My dog is extremely tough when compared to the other dogs he has hunted with (and compared to me), but he will start to have some...

I think my little chukar hunting group has tried just about everything. I've hunted in most climates (Souther CA desert, Pacific and Inland NW woods, etc.) and haven't found anything harder on dog...

Try it yourself in the snow to assure yourself that you are getting the strength you need without building unnecessarily large trenches. An 8" long stick the size of your thumb which is burried 6-8"...

Ralph you almost had me until, "social security can be made into a viable system and, if done intelligently...". Remember, we're talking about the government. Fool me once, shame on you/gov't. ...

This is a great thread.

I think the bottom line is that you can't change human nature regardless of what some wish that it was. And governments, especially big government systems are almost out of necessity designed to...

I wasn't actually attempting to protect the wheels when I made it, but rather just make it as strong/light as possible without welding or an axle. I have flipped it on its side once while going down...

Ben,
I've been eyeballing the disc brakes and also the Surly Pugsley over the last couple of years. My local bike shop guy actually told me last year not to bother getting disc brakes until...

Well if you believe the manufacturer, the Yak is limited to 70 lbs I believe. I love my Yak Plus, but if you're wanting to pack out meat and camp there is just not enough volume or safe wt carrying...
