cornerstone Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Nanuq's latest knife, perfect for the man about Alaska. Fits in only one suitcase. By the way, is that an aerial in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Wow, I gotta get one of those. That would end the need to lug my toolbox around with me. I bet Bob has 2 already - one in his Land Rover, the other dangling from a belt loop (while slurping down a cool ale at a local Homer watering hole).

cornerstone Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 You wouldn't BELIEVE the stuff I have in my Rover. My license plate is BPRPRD (of course) and I've got a case of Snickers bars (nobody should have to starve in a snow cave!) an ice axe, 7 knives, 3 cans of bear spray, a bow saw, a Sven saw, 2 tow straps, jumper cables, two sizes of lug wrenches, a 5# single bit axe, 2 hatchets, a recording thermometer, GPS, Kestrel 4000 weather tool, 3 compasses, Leatherman, 2 butane fire starters, a magnesium fire starter, 3 lengths of rope, emergency first aid/water/vaseline+cotton kit, and carpet strips so I can get traction when I'm pulling someone out of a ditch. BE PREPARED! You call that prepared? If you really want to be prepared for anything in a (modern) Land Rover, you'll have a Toyota hidden inside it (I'm kidding, I'm kidding) It's not fair with the Snickers - you have a legitimate reason to eat them. In Australia it's hot as hell. If you keep a case of Snickers bars in your car here you ( a ) have to eat them quickly or they'll melt (as in, within two or three minutes) and ( b ) you're either diabetic or a fat bastard, or a diabetic fat bastard.

vaccum Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 A fire is "false heat" ... you're not really warm, you just *feel* warm. To BE warm you have to metabolize. Snickers rule in winter camping! Here's why... you eat one before you climb in your sleeping bag, then the sugar metabolizes quickly, for quick warmth. Then the heavier sugars and chocolate metabolize slower... that heat shows up later. Then the fat from the peanuts and caramel metabolizes last and it heats you up latest of all. The benefit of the calories is spread out over a long time. For REALLY cold camping you make Jello, and mix in some butter, then cook it down like Jello Jigglers. Then eat a few before you climb in the feathers, and the Jello metabolizes fast, and the butter kicks in about an hour later... you're warm a long time. But it's a lot messier than Snickers. Eskimo hunters bring along fat to stay warm in the arctic. The old timers use muktuk and the younger guys use a stick of salted butter. Very interesting info.

BE PREPARED! Do you still have enough space to go inside? Snickers rule in winter camping! Here's why... you eat one before you climb in your sleeping bag, then the sugar metabolizes quickly, for quick warmth.

cornerstone Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hmmm, so what we really need is a Swiss Army Snickers Dispenser.... And bear spray, obviously (I like the idea of the bear spray, the backup bear spray, and the backup to the backup bear spray!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hang on a tic can we back up a little here, Bob in the back of your Land Rover we saw Bear spray..........more info please Ken Thought the same thing.............bear spray? As he didn`t use the word repellant i think it`s to attract them. And that raises one simple question..................why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenMc Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I miss this place sometimes, so much to learn about. It's only -7 c for us here, pretty balmy by comparison to Nanuk's domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
