Stop losing buttons

Prevent loss of buttons from any clothing by dabbing the thread that holds the button with a drop of clear nail polish. It will stop the unraveling of thread and dry invisable on the button.

Fire starting kit in a bottle.

I like to use the larger prescription pill bottles to have a miniture fire kit. I put strike anywhere matches, some tinder, and a magnesium fire starter in the bottle and throw it in my bag. Its water proof and cheap.

Safe Cleaning Outdoors; www.wowgreen.net/tami.g

Every wonder how those cleaning chemicals you use effects the animals and environment? It's no lie cancer rates in pets and humans are climbing. There's also a reason for all those warning labels on those chemicals underneath your sink. As a fellow outdoorsmen I am obligated to tell you about some new green products my wife and I just found called Wow Green. How green? Green like "clean my boat in the water and not having to worry about harming the fish and wildlife" green.

Close to inexhaustible source of feild/survival fire

You know I am always reading these bizarre and unpractical ways of starting fires in the wilderness. I say unpractical because even if you decide to go hunting with a pocket full of dryer lint, a road flare, and you burn your thermals thats really only two days of warmth if your actually trying to find your way back to civilization when a lot of the time you may run the risk of being lost for multiple days.

Tricks to staying warm.

One said in another post to use socks as wrist bands to stay warm. Take a nice pair of long wool socks and cut out finger holes. use the socks like fingerless gloves and pull the sock up your arm under your jacket and then put your gloves on. This will keep your wrist, palms, and part of your arm from getting cold. (If you are bow hunting this is also extra protection from the string). If you have thermals and that is not keeping your arm, find polypropylene underwear, (light, medium or heavy depending on how cold your area is.)
