While leaching o chemicals and microplastics should be of concern, in a quasi-emergency where immediate hydration is advisable, such items in the water is a minor issue (to me, at least). https://phys.org/news/2018-03-bottled-brands-contaminated-pla

Bingley...you are right to be concerned.... especially the chemical leeching into the water. Answer.... constantly load/unload the water. South FL.... we put water in every day we go out and remove it upon return. The cooler.... depends on the size,

This is something I've been thinking about since it's been so hot here. With temperature in the 90s day after day, the car gets easily over 100 degrees. How does the cooler idea work? Won't the cooler just eventually reach ambient temperature? Then

Seems my son was at work (stagehand) and a few of the people on the road crew were being very dismissive of him as he is 'only 19'. So obviously what could he know.... Being asked if he could tie knots well, saying yes... and being 'put to the test'

Apparently one thing mentioned briefly in other articles indicate that no one in the family even knew he was gone until some time had passed. It sounds like he overlooked that primary rule about LETTING SEVERAL PEOPLE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WH

Water and lots of it. I’ve never had water in plastic bottles go bad from that. I’ve had food go bad in the car but not often, currently I’ve got some military rations and beef jerky that won’t last as long in the heat but should be good for at least

It would be interesting (from an intellectual standpoint) to know what gear he had besides his cellphone and what he was using for navigation. From the map at the link, he was way off course. A course of 090 (true) from Grand Portage takes you to

What do you add to your car for hot weather driving? How do you keep things from melting, spoiling and failing in the heat?

The remains of an actor, Charles Levin, were found in a remote area in Oregon. I don’t know the area, but it sounds like his car got stuck or broke down....his remains were found a distance from the car. Sorry to say, the first thing I thought of was

Last night I noticed I had some rewards points built up so I decided to order the Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll Poncho from Amazon. It's a lot like the HPG Mountain Serape I think. It's got Climashield Apex insulation which is what Wiggy's uses to make

Thanks so much for the link, Roarmeister! Bourbeau's presentation might be the best single survival video I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). I highly recommend it to anyone that has not seen it.

I will say that PP has cured my athlete's foot very effectively in an urban situation. I agree it has limited uses for survival.
