The meat in the walking pole is held together with MSG and they call it healthy :shock: Interesting, though Roger must be right Barking Mad!! :?
Amen to that.
Assuming it is for real, surely any gear you're going to be prepared to eat has to be moderately water soluble? And therefore not perhaps the best idea in the world?
[edit - just read the FAQ:
Question: Aren't animals attracted to equipment made of out food?
Answer: No. Animals aren't stupid. Animals don't consider Edible Gear food.

This site looks genuine enough but it did come online on the 1st April :lol:
If it is real unfortunately it looks like it can't be imported because it contains GM products, banned under EU :cry:
Pity it would be fun to try.

I'm in the market for some chocolate billy cans.
Is it tallow candles that can be eaten or used in some other way (not as a candle that is)?
Yep.. tallow candles were made of animal fat.. so maybe eating them may not be the best.... you can use them as oil for cooking.
Be careful though...... many 'modern' tallow candles have other preservatives and chemicals in them which may or maynot be toxic. Best to make them yourself or buy them from someone who makes them so you can ask whats in them, or maybe put a special order in.

We did a similar April 1 column at Equipped. I still get inquiries :lol: There are real examples in the world though. The Inuit would make sled runners from fish rolled up tightly in seal skins and frozen, providing an emergency or trip's end food source. The older marijauna slang term "smoking a rope"comes from sailors smoking short bits of hemp line. Lovely for sea sickness, but I wonder how many shops ran out of rigging? And who could forget the old folk story of stone soup? This does raise a more serious question of kit. People come up with ingenious devices that pull double duty; belts made of braided paracord, using shoelaces for saw handles etc. I can just see myself,standing in loose,laceless boots,trousers slipping down my skinny frame and some grizzly bear walking up.
This kills me. It really does. Until I saw this site I always thought you guys from the other side of the pond thought Irony was like steely, or coppery.
P.S. [If this is real Id like to order the edible backpack please]

:shock: I won't be eating anything that even resembles a sleeping bag or rucksack. Looks like another attempt to keep customers buying up gear so they don't starve to death. :roll:

Shame the SweeTarp looks photoshopped.....altho very tempted by the AlcyHaul fuel :roll:
if you try to order it you get this:

Options. You can either:
Save your order form and try again later;
Print your order form, tape it the back of a mental patient and hope that he/she wanders near our offices; or

Lol, truly fantastic! I dont trust the alcofuel though,they might be lying and it could just be meths :shock:
Didn't NASA experiment with edible equipment at one time. The doors and side-panels of equipment lockers and that sort of thing. It was an attempt to increase the proportion of the useful mass of a spacecraft for long distance journeys and emergencies.
Eventually the plan was abandoned due to the fact that the passenger was going to asphyxiate long before he was going to starve.
Bushcrafters could try making useful things by gluing some biscuits brown together (knife scales etc.).
Happy trails...torc.
I am 100% sure it's fake.

I've tried (I was going to say 'eaten' but that wasn't the case - couldn't eat it all) a pair of edible knickers. Now, before anyone ducks for cover imagining some intimate and personal moment, I should say it wasn't quite like that. And I should also point out that they hadn't been worn, and weren't being worn at the time. You're OK. I won't go into why and how I came to eat them.
Anyway.
They were bloody awful.

one of my schoolmates found these in a pound shop on a school trip to winchester. they are simmilar to the candy bracelets and necklaces you see kids wearing/eating.
the teachers nearly killed him after he ran into winchester cathedral, wearing these edible knickers over his trousers, like superman.
I can't comment on how they taste.
