>>64279Agree 100%, but....
All I see in this thread is how to make ropes & how to make fires
I learned these things in the scouts and can do them indoors or out, but find it far easier to merely carry rope and a few lighters.
I go /out/ for fun and I have much more fun if I'm not worried about making rope or fire
Call me a gearhead if you'd like, but a 6 pack of Bic lighters and 50' of paracord can be bought for less than $8 at any Walmart.
