    I think a bug-out bag could have the following combination of cutting tools, that complement each other. - Sturdy, high-quality multi-tool. It should contain a small wood saw, a metal file, a screwbit holder and other mini tools. - (Very) large, thick, high-quality survival knife for quick...

    Does anyone have a SAW pouch on their backpack? Some of the readers may be asking, "What is a SAW pouch?" A SAW pouch holds a magazine for a M249 light machine gun - Squad Automatic Weapon. These are good sized MOLLE pouches which fit military packs. I would like something that can attach...

    Hi Folks! This summer I started up at the Arctic Ocean in Alaska and hiked south over the Brooks Range. Then I paddled down a series of rivers including the Yukon, before doing a week-long portage to the Kuskokwim River. From there I paddled to Pacific tidewater. Needless to say I saw lots of...

    Dogs and I were hiking around a pond that is off in the woods when I walked up on this snake. I was walking straight at it, but saw it before I stepped on it. Spoiler: Even though it looks mean, it is just a water snake. It blended in perfectly with the undergrowth. That is the reason why...

    Surely everyone has heard of a LifeStraw? It is a simple tube that is a water filter. Place the inlet into the water, then suck the water through the tube. Seems simple enough right? Almost too good to be true? If something seems to god to be true it usually is, except for the LifeStraw. Back...

    I've searched and find nothing specific about the subject line so I gotta ask: How much extra clothing do you carry when backpacking? For this summer I've added an extra pair of socks, spare underwear, a tshirt and a long sleeve shirt in my kit and that takes up more than a little room. I've...

    Hello, new to the forum! Currently for my large pack I'm running with an Eberlestock V69 Destroyer, and I love it but I feel it's just a bit much most of the time. That and here's no good spot for a rifle that isn't awkward, and. It's just 'messy'. A lot of extra fabric hanging around. Also, in...

    I think a good axe is an important part of ones kit, especially when your AO is forested. However, I haven't yet found an axe that suits my needs. I tried to get by on a crappy walmart Pack Axe, but if I ever needed to do any real work, I know that it wont cut it (literally). I'm probably...

    My current cooking pot is a 450 ml Optimus terra solo. Mostly I boil water in it for mountain house freeze dried food. It seems small for noodles. I am thinking about going up to a 750 ml pot. I have a Vargo sierra 750 but my stove does not fit in it very well. What size pot do you use for...
