I mean, you could pretty easily retool it as one

2020-05-07 23:40:33 UTC  

But yeah, that guy has some great stuff

2020-05-09 07:13:01 UTC  

A good way to keep mud and stuff out of your boots and protect your legs are puttees. They're pretty cheap and are pretty darn good in almost every circumstance

2020-05-13 14:05:49 UTC  

Anyone used a life straw?

2020-05-13 14:22:51 UTC  

Where’d you buy yours man?

2020-05-13 14:31:31 UTC  

> Anyone used a life straw?
@GRANITE I have. They work very well for what they do. I used it when I was riding motorcycles in Madagascar, and in Cali, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado rivers.

2020-05-13 14:33:15 UTC  

Awesome. Yea I got a 3 pack to have in the GO bags.

2020-05-13 16:55:29 UTC  

I haven't used mine yet, but picked one up

2020-05-13 16:59:19 UTC  

The Sawyer Mini filters quite a bit more water than the LifeStraw, I would recommend the Sawyer

2020-05-17 20:42:18 UTC  

I see a lot about shelter and projects and such, but how many of you are intimately familiar with edible plants, fungi, and animals within your region?

2020-05-18 17:07:49 UTC  

@TwiddleDick Just fried a bunch of frogs and bluegill the other night. Haven't really looked for morels though.

2020-05-18 17:08:48 UTC  

Oh yeah, spring turkey season tasted good too. lmao

2020-05-18 17:09:03 UTC  

Green briar’s young shoots are also edible. Sand plums and wild blackberries are also around

2020-05-18 17:10:36 UTC  

Yeah I got to get me some blackberries. I'm growing my own stuff though.

2020-05-18 17:11:57 UTC  

Actually I should just plant some blackberry bushes instead of looking around for them.

2020-05-18 18:20:44 UTC  

I need to cook spme more bluegill

2020-05-18 18:20:51 UTC  

They are pretty tasty

2020-05-19 03:37:55 UTC  

Ye

2020-05-20 04:03:09 UTC  

@goofy_murican I never thought I'd want/need them... but I think I'm gonna get some puttees just as a fashion statement... hahaha

2020-05-20 04:05:06 UTC  

hell yeah bro

2020-05-20 04:05:29 UTC  

they are such an under rated piece of kit

2020-05-20 04:10:35 UTC  

And now I need a throwback uniform to WWI

2020-05-20 04:10:42 UTC  

I want like a modernized version....

2020-05-20 04:12:06 UTC  

If you can make that work, go ahead

2020-05-20 04:12:21 UTC  

I have no idea how I'd do it. Lol

2020-05-20 04:12:44 UTC  

Or if I ended up making that AR musket, maybe I'd use some kinda modernized 1700s garb

2020-05-20 04:14:07 UTC  

I mean, I'm gonna be rocking the civil war garb with a tacticalized musket...

2020-05-20 04:14:28 UTC  

I've already got a Civil War Unifom.

2020-05-20 04:14:48 UTC  

Yankee or reb?

2020-05-20 04:16:24 UTC  

Mainly Yank, I was cavalry. But would occasionally go Reb at some events if we needed to help even the numbers.

2020-05-20 04:18:15 UTC  

I see

2020-05-20 04:18:28 UTC  

I do yankee reenacting as infantry

2020-05-20 04:19:00 UTC  

still working on piecing together my uniform

2020-05-20 04:20:24 UTC  

Yeah, It's not a cheap hobby and I honestly have been hurt more by horses than anything else. So I don't really do it anymore.

2020-05-20 04:20:46 UTC  

I did it as something to do with my dad, but I dislike horses enough to not want to get back into it.

2020-05-20 04:21:54 UTC  

that stinks

2020-05-20 04:22:43 UTC  

I've had a pretty good time doing infantry myself. although I would like to get my hands on a 12 pounder gun for shits and giggles

2020-05-20 04:23:39 UTC  

Hahaha, you know the rule for being an artillery man, right?

2020-05-20 04:24:11 UTC  

Don't stick your dick where the powder goes

2020-05-20 04:24:25 UTC  

You have to weigh as much as the cannon in order to be one.
