Alright here is a channel to post any questions about survival techniques

awesome. this channel should be fun. you know of any good rope tying laminated guides that can be taken in a pack? i know some knots and uses for them, but i might get stuck forgetting one or need to do one i haven't done before

like a book or something you can use?

honestly there are fewer things that i can recommend more than the boy scout handbook

i’m pretty sure you can get it in a laminated something, and at the very least, there’s book covers galore for it

Us army sere handbook

I wasn’t even talking ab just that I mean bare survival

Like snares hunting foraging

Sere handbook has a ton of it

unfortunately not in the scout book lmao

thanks. i'll search for the boy scout book @DeetSkythe404 , and i'll look into the SERE book @EliteBeret

snares would be very useful knowledge. i hunt, but i haven't created snares. i really want to try it sometime

There is some good deadfall stuff you can buy that are flat

Put em in your pack and forget abt them

@John Cavil the scout book is free online as a PDF so don’t sweat that

is "deadfall" an official term?

Wdym

What’s official

like do i google for "deadfall survival book" lol

I was talking abt something else

Deer sky was talking about some survival book, and I just said you can look up a deadfall trap or how to make them. They’re fairly easy

future survival plan: our baby is going into boy scouts. wife is onboard

the scout handbook contains very useful information survival information, i kept mine even after quitting

@John Cavil i can’t recommend it enough. if your kid becomes an eagle scout and wants to join the military, they instantly get the rank of E-3 upon enlistment.

I was literally about to do my project and I have to cancel it because of Corona since it’s on my school campus and I’m pissed.

how long do you have till you turn eighteen? nat’l council is approving a shitload of extensions for all kinds of deadlines

you could definitely push it back and be just fine

2 years but I wanted to get out of scouts since the girls have joined. They’ve ruined the principles of it

you know girls have been in scouts since ‘98 right

I mean in actual troops

Not venturing

the only thing they changed was allowing girls to have separate patrols and troops so that they could get eagle

Umm. They literally camp with us eat with us I have 2 in my patrol

okay so that’s um

literally against the rules set by national council

Well idk what to tell you

idk what to say that’s straight up not the way it’s supposed to be

I’m getting my eagle and dipping

They can figure that out

yeah i’d say get out of that troop ASAP

As soon as I’m eagle

okay one thing

at your final eagle board, they’re probably gonna ask you whether you’re cool with girls being in scouts

i don’t know whether that question determines whether you’ll get the rank or whether it’s just an opinion thing but like

i’d tread carefully there

I’ll say I don’t mind except that they are fully integrated with my patrol

perfect

I’m 16 and they are like 12

It’s not cool at all

so that’s bad

I don’t even go camping anymore

probably for the best

They are the blue hair type

band kids-

No

Feminist

i went to the world jamboree this last summer in west virginia and ohhhhhh my god. every other country let girls and guys sleep in the same tent regardless of age as long as they both consented

Yeah.

didn’t matter if they were 17 and 11

sus

that and they handed out condoms for free lmao

I was there. I slept one night with my contingent

oh shit rlly? were you there for bear grylls

Nope. Just bunked with other countries. They didn’t care. It’s was pretty epic

Mostly polish or norwiegan

polish troops walked in with maga hats and the brazilian scouts were suspected of dealing coke

dutch british and australian scouts were the funniest

I love the pols. I’m part polish so

the italians and swedes went skinny dipping

i joined em

i didn’t skinny dip tho

It was pretty fun.

I had the time of my life

good stuff my guy

good stuff

Well sounds like you had fun too

i did indeed

in much the same way i believe

Ah

i remember at the closing ceremony they had to sweep the stage every ten minutes bc people were blowing the condoms into balloons and throwing them at the speaker

there was a fucking mosh pit at one of the base camps

Damn. Well I didn’t go to that. I helped another contingent read the packages of the free stuff

If your picking up what I’m putting down

i am indeed

nice work my friend

You too my guy.

hey man

Yeah

it’s the fourteenth point of the scout law

a scout is horny

It’s fuck clean I’m horny. That’s what my troop says 🤣

We used to be all hs guys and we got Into so much trouble so high. And the deepest convos

shit gets weird when you’re camping man

Yeah. We were camping with another troop. My cousin was their spl and he convinced one kid to smoke lachit straight grass and the other lit his hair on fire

solid lmao

What will be your guys sustainable source of food in the long term SHTF situation?

I know how to farm

So I’ll grab seeds before I head out

i’ve done some basic agricultural work here and there, though certainly not as much as kvltvre
