Thanks for your opinion Car Ramrod, but you could have done without voicing your opinion because it was completely unnecessary and absolutely not helpful with anything listed in this thread.
It's been so long since I bought my wrist rockets that I don't remember any specific brands. I believe I bought one at Bass Pro, and another at Cabela's, but I imagine you can find them through Google. For clothing, I recommend normal wear, except that I would choose either wool or synthetics instead of cotton or denim outerwear, since cotton absorbs water rather easily and steals body heat. The only advantage to military clothing is that sometimes you can get surplus clothing more cheaply than cutting-edge civilian equivalents. Look at any big-box sporting goods store ads and you can get an idea of what layers are in vogue for winter wear under various circumstances. Of course, you need to take into account your particular needs. I once met a former Special Forces survival instructor who wore shorts outside in sub-zero temperatures; I, on the other hand, had four layers of clothing on and I was still cold. You need to find out what specifically works for you, but layering is a start. As far as looking for examples of BOBs and survival kits, I'm surprised you haven't noticed the sticky topic at the top of this forum. There is a selection of illustrated kits on those pages.I have been thinking about starting to look into a slingshot as well.. i may just do that, any particular brands over the next that would be better? so about winter/ summer boots. Also clothing, im not sure on what to wear or what to have. Do i want military ACU's? What would be good winter and summer clothes, socks? The appropriate layers for winter? Would anyone be willing to share your BOB or survival gear on here to help the masses out? I can post mine and everyone tell me what you think...
Thank you Blackhawk and DanO for your comments.
Yes I can certainly see where experience is everything, i am attempting to go out here this spring i dont think winter would be the best time to go for the first time. Thank you for pointing out Mr Hemming. I will strongly consider his DVD's and books! Like i said before ive been looking for a place to find animal traps/snares.
Is there any particular book or DVD that you two suggest that would contain valuable information on what to and how to survive/ live off the land?
I have a few survival books but i didnt know if there were any particular ones out there that were better than the others??
