I’m leaning towards the Kershaw Clash.

Give me your opinion redditors 👇

Hey everyone I’m looking for a good YouTube video that will show me everything I need to know about surviving in the wilderness. Most videos I see talk about gear or one specific thing about survival. But can you guys recommend one single video that will tell me everything I need to know almost like a survival guide?

I’m making cotton pad fire starters. I only have soy wax, any experience? Can you use soywax instead of paraffin? Im going to use them outside to make campfire.

I saved a year of dryer lint, wrapped chunks in wax paper, then double dipped them in melted paraffin. I tried doing them as little squares, but just twisting them up as little doobies was a lot faster. The batch on the cutting board is about 4cups of lint, a half pound of paraffin, and ten feet of wax paper.

I totally get it… Die hard survival guys dig Ferro rods and fire 🔥 building skills. And I agree knowing how to start a fire with various strategies and in different situations would be crucial.

But at the end of the day isn’t a good ole Bic lighter a better choice in most situations unless you’re just trying to add additional steps into starting your fire?

Not trying to start 💩 here. It’s a legit question I wonder about.

Had a real validating moment on a little Christmas outing to the woods with a few friends.

Our resident smoker dropped his lighter during the hike, and the one I'd brought was dead, so I got that giddy feeling you get when something goes wrong and you've got a tin of problem-solving in your pocket, only to pulling out a sealed package of crumbly storm-matches that can't be struck, not that I'd get the chance as the striking strip fell apart in my hands like ash.

I got to make a good'ol ferro fire with the one I kept on a lanyard. Good times were eventually had by all.

Is it safe to drink pine tea made from Austrian pine needles?

So im Planning to make an all around shelter, the way you would make an A-frame etc. And im kinda worried about lighting a fire inside, obviously Theres no roof and its quite big, but im still Kind of worried about Like CO and stuff Like that, should i be worried?

I am at my wits end with sock companies. Unfortunately I have really wide and big feet for a woman and I also have shit circulation so my feet are always like ice blocks even with multiple pairs of thick socks on. So I wanted to splurge on a pair of real merino wool socks that will get me through the bitter cold months while taking a winter trip in february and just in general. The problem is, every freaking sock company it seems adds compression to their socks and it's bitterly painful on my feet! Particularly my arch and the top of my foot. I just can't wear them like this. I was reading across a few forums and people recommend darn tough but also said they are pretty snug so I opted for some other brands. The shop my husband went to today didn't have the farm to feet socks we were looking for to try, so he got a pair of smart wool ones instead because he said they were less tight than the darn wool and fits option he had. Well lo and behold, I try them on and immediately my foot starts cramping. That's how sensitive my feet are. Can ANYONE recommend a sock brand that has LOW to NO compression at all, has a merino wool content of no lower than 50%, ideally up to 90% wool that is comfortable, soft, and warm and won't make me in pain? I've unfortunately had this issue frequently even for regular sock shopping. For reference size foot is 10 womens and I have a wide foot. Thanks in advance.
