Exactly! Thanks :) :)

Hi guy's, I finally was able to find what I was looking for! Men..., I love Google search :) My memory serves me better then I thought; it's pretty much what I described. Only..., now I have the name and can get in contact with ppl. that actually could help me prepare and maybe some aftercare...

Hi all, It has been a long time since I was on the forum. I am here because I am looking for the name of a practice. I thought it was a practice of American indians, but I might be mistaken. What I remember of this practice, but again, I am not sure if my memory serves me well.... is that it...

Made from leather, it seems like a very good idear :). Nice one

ok thanks. So there isn't some specific thread that is ultra strong and must be used for a backpack repair. I will then probably use the dyneema braided fishing line I alway's have on me for sewing purposes. Pretty thin and still very strong. Yeah, I will bring a strong needle...

Hi all, I have a Bach Slim Mac backpack. It can handle 30 kilo's. I will indeed start my next trip with 30 kilo's (two weeks food inside). My question: can a shoulder strap be fixed in the field if it breaks? I mean if it breaks at the stiching? I suppose it can, but what kind of thread do I...

Wow, Dave that's exactly what I like to try. Nice job. I bet that feels like heaven after a hard day's work outdoors. It looks so comfy. Jared, I am glad you posted the link. I just bought the jungle chair they sell. If I get cold while sitting in it, I will shove a few hot rocks underneath it...

Hi all, Some time ago I saw a thread (or might have been an article) about a piece of canvas (or similar) with which you can make a chair. I think it might have had eyes/rivets on it. The structure used to make this chair was a kind of tripod/tipee made from sturdy branches. I can not remember...

I do own the Shimano Exage BX STC Spin travel rod. I have the version that is 2,70m. It does feel good to hold. The transport casing/tube is a little heavy (450 gram I believe with the rod in it). The casing is 65 cm in length. For fishing from the shore/rock I tend to use the longer rods...

Thanks Joonsy, this definately is a simple way to economicaly (with regard to packsize) store leaders. Hahaha, did not think about it at all. Like with many simple solutions sometimes they don't come that easy. I can use ziplock baggies because that's what I have laying around here. So simple...

This is not legal in a lot of places. True.... You have to check your local regulations. It is a very good item for any survival kit. Sometimes you are alowed to use it for sea fishing only, whitout being in a survival situation. In the US there are some states where you can use it freely (there...

Here is how I made my newest nightline. A pictorial. You only need the line itself. I used tarred nylon that does not rot or unravel. The other nylon is just cheap nylon with a light color. This makes it easyer for you to detect your droppers when checking your line or when you attach the...

Hi all, Till now, I have not been able to come up with a way to realy conveniently store droppers for a night line/bank line. I have given it quite some thought but can't come up with any realy good way to make sure the lines do not get tangled. I always manage to keep my lines knot free, yet I...

That does sound like a very unpleasant experience... Naaasty predators those midges! Unbelievable how those little insects can "spoil your day" even day's later...

There might be enough clams or even fish available to collect/catch yet they are also hungry which makes you feel cold... they are trying not to get wet and it rains a lot. I think those are big complicating factors in them not being "able" to go out and collect enough food. And like being said...

...not sure what you mean. Might be my bad though. Please expain if you like?

When Sam said: "I am not above eating mice", I could not help having a good laugh! By the looks of his face he realized at the same time he was saying it how insane it sounded to the ppl. that are sitting on the couch with tappa's, hahaha (I would eat a mouse any time if I would go through all...

Hopefully they dont't introduce any game elements in the following seasons. I like the fact that there is nothing more to the show then surviving/bushcraft. They don't know how the other contestants are doing. No communication between them. Like the show sais: "alone". This is one of the...

Yes, they may use things that wash up on the shore. Like the plastic bottles used for the fishtraps... those washed up on the shore. There was a little text comment on the screen saying it is allowed to use the things they find.

They are not allowed to bring/choose a bankline. I wonder why that is... It's my favourite piece of kit for catching fish. Local regulations? They can make one or two lines if they find some rope. Put 5 hooks on it. Use the monofilament for droppers. It will cost 10 hooks if they decide to make...
