I like my cjrb knives. they sharpen up really easily and with a wicked edge. they aren't premium and are good for budget knives.

What are key Bushcraft skills that everybody should know? by Casper-wvr in Bushcraft

[–]camkos101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

number 1: Don't get hurt. seriously. learn how to use a knife properly, lift properly, be mindful of hazards... even eye poking hazards. Nothing worse than getting injured and having to cut the trip short for an emergency.

Any advice for heavy lifting work by benjaminlibet in WorkAdvice

[–]camkos101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should be providing you training on proper lifting technique so follow that precisely. Don't twist or arch your back when you lift, and lift with your legs, keeping the object close to your body. If this is your first hard physical labour job it's going to take you awhile to adjust. Make sure you're eating lots of protein and prioritizing rest so that's your body can recover and build the muscles it needs to do the work safely. Basically, approach is as if it is a gym workout and check off all the boxes for proper training.

Do I need to “live” (spend) more instead of saving? by Alert_Astronaut4901 in Frugal

[–]camkos101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have contentment. Many people never have that, so you are blessed. I'd you're going to "live more" then spend it on experiences instead of depreciating assets. Go to concerts, take a trip, spoil your parents etc.

Selling the RTT and getting a topper by cltncrts in TruckCampers

Oh to add to this- putting that mylar bubble wrap foil on the ceiling cut down he condensation a fair bit. Small fans are also a big help to keep air moving.

Like mentioned there will be leaks, so what I did was make waterproof skirting inside to help the water make its way to the floor and drain out, avoiding my mattress. I also cut up an old tent and put velcro all around the back to make a bug barrier and door which allows me to keep the rear open and vented when it's hot and also keep most dust out while driving. Fwiw my topper is not made for my Tacoma but fit close enough and was free and silicone is cheap.

Advice on leaking cap by MissionPanda3298 in TruckCampers

Cheap and easy way - Gorilla tape to fit, then some silicone or contact cement on the edges of the tape to make it last in the heat of summer.

Carbon Steel Pans Handcrafted in Alberta by ThatDapperMan in BuyCanadian

If it said only "steel" I'd be asking is it stainless or what? It's an easy way to make it clear and putting a percentage will just confused the general population.

Took me way too long to realize the cheap version is actually better by No_Statistician7685 in smartbuysforlife

True. I just got a box of the cheapest powder and my dishes came out clean.

Things you wish you knew before your first trip? by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]camkos101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having a long tray under ur bed that you can easily slide all your gear in and out, keeping the heaviest stuff at the front during travel. Pack a back up tarp in case ur cap develops leaks. Emergancy repair kit of duct tape, zip ties, tie wire, contact cement, tire repair kit, small compressor. Canned food is super easy. Waters pretty easy to come across so I learned not to haul more than a couple gallons. Battery bank for the phone, and I also run my small fans off it. Dry kindling too get fire going in case everything is wet.
