Ideas please

I would take my wife out to dinner and try to convince her why I needed $125 for my next knife purchase (it takes money to make money ;) ).

But seriously - I would get one of those Wilderness adventure kits - heat sheet emergency bivi and then a bunch of firesteel blanks with the rest of the cash from Ben's Backwoods.
 
Excellent replies, folks! Thank you VERY MUCH! You guys have given me some great ideas. :thumbup::cool:
 
A harmonica so you can play music like Les when you're stuck in a survival situation.

How about a wool blanket?

Get a slingshot to play around with.

Big +1! Since you mentioned walking sticks, check out Brazo's Sticks for crafted sticks in wood you might not find or have access to :) All good suggestions in this thread, might have to check out a few for myself...

edit: I read "staff" not "stuff" in the OP:o Worth checking out anyway :)
 
For survival & outdoor DVDs, take a look at my signature! ;) (I really should come up with a WSS coupon code, but I'm not sure how to do that without violating forum rules. Any ideas, Brian?)

Flix, is that your site? I have been wanting to get on board there, lots of really great movies!

Yup. The "big guys" wouldn't carry the DVDs I wanted so I decided to do it myself.

on_the_edge, I would also second j williams's suggestion of the Guyot Standard bottle. A silnylon tarp might be had for near that amount as well.

Ok, now I keep going to the www.campingsurvival.com website. I think I might be in trouble. I am just surprised that I have never seen it before. I think that is where I will end up. Fortunately, I have a little time to sift through the myriads of great things if I just ask for a gift card. Thanks to everyone, especially SpookyPistolero (I think...we'll see how much I need, but can't afford ;):p ).
 
Wow! Cool, I will get over there soon and get signed up. Great idea man!!

Sil tarp would be very cool.:thumbup:

Cool man, glad you found some stuff you liked. There's all kinds of neat things there. The people are also a pleasure to do business with, quick shipping and good communication.

We'll see if you thank me after the credit card bills start rolling in I guess. :D

Hey FLIX, since you brought it up, have you been using your Guyot for cooking, or heating up water? An update to your 'pimping' thread is in order. :D

Hi Doc - Unfortunately, to date I have only used the Guyot as a water bottle. :o You're right, though - I need to use it and report back. (Stay tuned.)

Good, FLIX, I'm looking forward to it. I think I have something coming up (maybe this weekend), as well, that you might like to do with it. :rolleyes: :D
