Re: Andrew Skurka's Fancy Feast Stove!
I used a vienna sausage can to make a replacement for my cat-can stove a week or so ago, and I would highly recommend it. The base of the can is wider, hence a bit more stable. It also can hold more fuel, for longer burn times in the cold. It still feels incredibly light, given those improvements. J...

Re: Storing dog food
My dog food comes in 30 pound plastic bags, and I keep the food, once opened, in 2 5-gallon buckets with airtight tops. I keep a 2 month supply in hand, and rotate through the bags to get rid of the oldest ones first.

Benadryl tongue tabs

Neosporin to go spray
Yeah, that's 6, but I can fit enough of the first four for a week in a single scrip-bottle, so I'm ok going over.

Re: Earl - Backcountry Survival Tablet
They have a real crappy forum set up. There is about zero communication from the "earl team." From what I'm reading there, people are pissed due to this and I can't blame them.

Re: Kifaru Ultralights, whos thinking of getting one???
I think more of what Jamie was saying was the market base. Kifaru has developed a rep among people who need to be rough on gear and demand it to take it. No true ultra light gear could. So if you sell on the "built kifaru tough" kinda rep those guys aren't going to be happy. The sleeping in their c...

Re: Bug-Out Belts?
I tried a loaded belt, and found that I much preferred a backpack...the trick (for me) is to stick with a small backpack, because I will always fill any available space with more stuff.
I'm a big fan of those backpacks that are essentially hydration-bag carriers plus a bit of extra room.
