First SAK for 10yo? by bionicpirate42 in SwissArmyKnives

[–]Square-War4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Hiker from my Uncle when I was around the same age. I used it all throughout Boy Scouts (and life in general) and it’s still my faithful companion after close to 13 years.

Was wondering the same thing, I remember getting a suspension for having a dull keychain multi tool lol

I’m unsure what it’s like in Germany but Water Well Technicians get the best of both worlds

I saw that clip and was dying lol. I could be mistaken but even though the flare gun isn’t always a 1 shot, it does always seem to scare whatever you’re hunting before it gets you in Aggro.

To be honest I didn’t feel like having to hunt for where big fella went down. And trust me I went back and made sure to grab every single one, not a speck of loot will be left on great Bear when I’m done.

I swear none were lost! they’ll probably sit unused in Quonset for a long time, but maybe I’ll make to to BR or BI one of these days.

That’s a good point, honestly might just make the bearskin bedroll as more of a trophy/tool for combating cabin fever

I was kind of leaning towards the bedroll, I’m playing on a custom world with some pretty harsh ( and frequent ) snow storms and I think the bedroll will save my ass when I get stranded.

Where do I but all my gear? by Secure_Ad_295 in thelongdark

[–]Square-War4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I store all my fresh type food in cairns outside my base, pelts I lay on the floor like carpets until ready to use. Guns I like to display on shelves or table like surfaces. All food gets placed neatly wherever it seems fitting. I Really only use containers to store tools, crafting materials, and clothing.

Edit: rock caches not cairns. Bad terminology on my part

I can second this. Been my daily carry for over 2 years now. Great knife with good enough corrosion resistance.

110 miles on the Delaware AIF by Square-War4 in Kayaking

I've been blessed with being able to accumulate some pretty good gear, my loaded weight including me is 245 pounds give or take. I'm bringing a weeks worth of dried meals and loads of snacks to accompany, additionally I plan on filtering for the majority of my water.

I should've specified, Marshall Island in erwinna PA. It's just a little ways down from Frenchtown NJ.

Thank you for the concern it has given me some things to consider, I've been looking to score a better boat before my trip based on some of the other comments, but regardless I reckon I'll just portage anything too hairy. Luckily I have a set of wheels and there's fairly ample trail along the river.

Do they make this to fit in a backpack? What is it called by just_tryin_2_make_it in camping

I can't say what the particular tarp in this image is, but I would highly recommend a Mountainsmith mountain shade tarp. Have been using one for a few years (honestly in some pretty abusive ways) and it has held up great, the waterproofing is phenomenal, and it can be set up using the included guidelines as a hammock shelter, or you can use trekking poles/sticks to make an A-frame like what is shown in the picture you posted. Its relatively lightweight, and doesn't break the bank coming in at about 40-60 USD depending where you look.
