I need something that does not contain wheat, soy or dairy. Ideally it would also have no weird chemicals (including "natural flavor") but still have a long self life. Am I seeking something that doesn't exist? submitted by /u/RainbowChicken5 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I want to make up a few little survival tins rather than just buying a pre-made kit. My first one is a fire starter kit. In this kit - Kindle, lighter, matches, fire starter, flint rod, petroleum jelly.. Should I add anything else? Next is cordage & Random things. In this kit - Cordage, fishing wire, hooks, tape. Should I add anything else? Finally what other tins/bags should I create? What type of small resealable & usable bags are best? For any bigger items. submitted by /u/gnm442 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So The Outdoor Gear Review posted a new video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf060t2itWI In it, he simulates a "lost in the woods" survival scenario. He's brought an overnight kit as a survival item on a day trip. OK, he explains that this is 'the middle of nowhere' so that makes sense I guess. The shelter kit consists of a tarp, ground cloth and water resistant bivy. I'm puzzled at this because the setup is bulky, heavy, complicated, and quite open to the elements (even with the bivy). Wouldn't a lightweight tent like the Lanshan 1 be a more sensible choice for a survival item? submitted ..read more

Just binged a whole bunch of seasons of Alone and am now interested in getting a couple essential items. Partly just to pretend that I could survive... a bit of fake-it-till-you-make-it larping. you gotta start somewhere, right? :) I'm a sucker for pretty toys, and I'm wondering if exotac gear actually is good quality, or whether it's more sharper image style shiny objects. would uberleben gear be a better bet than exotac? thx for all advice! submitted by /u/Cantfindmypw [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m currently binging “I shouldn't be alive” which is about people who get themselves trapped in the wilderness one way or another and need to survive. Usually their first concern is about finding water because a human can survive only 3 days without water. However, I know that almost all foods contain a lot of water too. So I was wondering, in case you do have food but no water, can you survive for longer than 3 days? submitted by /u/AggravatedGoat1 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
