Oh Boy; a Time Capsule!

Back in the day when........Folding knives were not made with locks on their blades, and flashlights were just plane - Junk !

I find it amazing, how much the woodsmen of the previous generation, or two, could do with what was available to them. What, & how little they chose to pack aloung on their travles, and how much "closer to the land" than "we" are. I tip my hat to them, and them that came before, and just how safe I felt with them, because they has a plan "2".

Yet, I can't imagine showing my GrandPa my psk,Him, looking at it's contiains, and him asking..What would you want this/that for?.....I can see him asking ..where did you get that?, can you get me a few of these? Boy now there's something, I could use a few of them....And if you knew my GrandPa.......Your-a-gonna nead a new one-a-these, cause I'm-a-takin-it!

We are all bourne to our "time slot", we make our gear selections based on availibity, and we "Get-er-dun" with what we got, we tip our hats to those before us, and we wonder what might be avalible to our kids???

We're a long way from: carry a knife ,a candle stub, and a book of matches in your pocket advice of old,,, but if you think abought it , that's what you really nead........If you keep the matches DRY.........I'ts a 3 + day kit...,...If you don't screw up.
