Any ideas, suggestions, etc would be most helpful. ]]> General Emergency Preparedness Arkansas_Ranger http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3529 Making Stuff Books http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3528&goto=newpost Mon, 07 Jul 2008 04:00:56 GMT i'm sure 95% of you people already know about these, i'm just throwing this out there for the other 5%...

If the tomahawk was favored, why?

I ask because some on the forum seem to favor a machete. Both have a place but, if you have to choose between them which would you choose and why.

Just got back from Sports Authority out here and they had a bunch of fishing stuff on clearance. I picked through the bin and found some Trilene and Shakespeare 12 and 14lb mono for $2.98.
After looking around a bit, one of the employees points me to a display of this stuff and says after all the discounts it comes to $1.79 per spool! That's 330yds of good quality mono for $1.79! I bought the entire display of 8,12,and 14. They don't use that heavy line out here in Colorado, but as most of you know, we are moving to Alaska and this should do just fine up there. :D
Check your local Sports Authority if you have one, and see if this sale is company wide. Great deal and stuff isn't getting any cheaper. ]]> General Survival Discussion Mountaintrekker http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3520
