mineral earth One error you can do is building a fire on dirt that isn't dug down to mineral earth. You can think that the fire is out when in reality there are still roots or twigs smoldering that will bur... |

Re: carrying the kill A lot of people hunt large game on foot. They carry it by using a sled- it's a sheet of thick high-strength plastic that rolls up sort of like a foam pad for packing. You strap/wrap the deer ... |

Camp Fire USA As an alternative to BSA there's Camp Fire USA. They aren't nearly as widespread as BSA but if you're lucky there might be a council nearby. (Where are you?) They are a self-declared... |

And it starts... at 20:06:20 from the OP... Thanks, Art, for being as predictable as I... er... predicted. He will now try to justify it as a "valid question" rather than the flame-bait that it actu... |

Klepper Double wood framed folding kayak I own a Long Haul Mark 2, which is a copy of the Klepper Double. Though the fasteners vary very slightly the Klepper frame can use the Long Haul hull-skins and vice versa. The guy who builds the Lon... |

Sawyer In-Line Filter I have a slightly different kit- the 0.1 micron 4-way filter. Of the filters available I give it a 5. It's not perfect, but IMHO it is the best that is available, hands down. The 4-way kit come... |

La Sportiva Crosslite Personally, I rate this shoe a 5/5 because I'm ecstatic to find a shoe that FITS! (I have mutant monkey-feet.) But generally it is probably a 4. Listen, ye, to my tale of woe... I just mov... |
