I am announcing the first annual April Fool's Day contest. Everyone is invited to submit one totally rediculous question, survival idea or tool. IE, can the water in a compass be consumed in an emergency, ALTOID TIN mint recipes, field testing the EBAY rare, ultimate, vietnam era, made in China commando survival knife with 323 FREE additional survival items in the hollow tube etc. Winner( s) to receive the satisfaction of those other sites actually debating the merits of these posts <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, I guess this idea is an old, but sure value for the contest and perfectly designed to fit ourAltoid tin boxes : dehydrated water ..... <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, a must for every one on this forum ; takes literally no place in the PSK !!!
I'll try later on to post a link to an online source..... <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How about proposing an initiation for potential forum users.
Take a bag of marbles and put them in your mouth, every time you enter forum you spit one out.
You become a member when you've lost all your marbles.

Now that is cruel. Two wrongs do not make a right. However, 3 lefts do <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

hmm..okay, how about a recipe for whistle peas?

step one : crack open 40 or 50 whistles...

well can you drink the water from your compass ? <img src="images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> no serious can you ?

hmm.... can you "walk" over a stream with blown up condooms duct taped under shoes, without getting wet ? <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Can I use a condom as my escape hood?

Can I use parachute cord to safely bail out of a light aircraft that's going down?

Why aren't airlines required to put soft mulch around the bottom of the escape slide?
