Load outs for ESEE Challenge

[texastonydobbs]

This is an fantastic contest! Esee has put on an incredible prize pack.

Best of luck to all who enter, I think I will learn a lot from this just reading and seeing your entries.

Thanks to all who have the balls to do this.

For myself, I don't think I am quite skilled enough to enter this... yet.

I am learning more and more and getting more experience, but I am still a bit of a noob.

Again, good luck to all and I look forward to reading your adventures!

:thumbup: Give it a try .....you learn by doing ! Be safe

Now, granted there's no way I'd ever participate in this contest--I'm too lazy and I'd miss my Starbucks. But, if I WERE to participate, this is what I'd do:

(you need to enlist the help of a partner. Promise him half of your prize if you win.)

Step 1:

Have someone drop me off in the middle of some woods with nothing but light clothes, a map, a compass and some coordinates. (and a camera to document the misery, of course.) Ideally this would be a rather large section of woods that you are completely unfamiliar with. The coordinates would indicate where a small stash of gear would be--a knife, a fire starter, and some more coordinates.

Step 2:

Find the stash (or suffer miserably). If you find the stash, the coordinates indicate some other stuff hidden. Maybe a bottle of water or a jacket. Something to make your life a little better. And more coordinates.

Step 3:

Repeat as long as you have time (a long weekend or a week.) The last coordinates have a cellphone and you can call someone to pick you up. Assuming you hit all the points.


Anyone can feel free to rip off my idea. I won't be using it. I'll be on my leather couch, drinking vanilla coke, watching Bear Grylls and waiting for Schwan's to deliver my groceries.

Good luck, all.

I like the way you think

I suppose you never know when you run into some lonely bush-woman....

But to be honest I saw it on dual survival. Looks like a good way to store/transport 1 litre of water :thumbup:

Just make sure they're not flavored.... Unless you prefer flavored water.

Make sure they are the ones with "stuff" in them to enhance the experience, or you could wind up drinking spermicide or lube, or whaterever that crap is that makes you feel like your worms in the microwave.

Alright I think I'll switch them for some sort of "hot/cold" sensation... perhaps ribbed aswell?

 

[philbro]

I'm a longtime lurker & its just my luck to have something useful to say about condoms.
I've found that ribbed condoms are slightly stronger to carry water in. So if its cold & you don't want to use a sock. Use a ribbed johnny instead.

Going to go over the load out for the challenge this weekend. Right now, my biggest concern is the weather/temp. This morning when I got up for work at 5:30am it was exactly 30 degrees outside my window, and I had to scrap my car windows. Since the next two weekends are booked, I will be heading out the first weekend of Nov.

Going to be some chilly outside. Probably end up having to kill a bear with my Izula to make a coat to stay warm....

 

[luckykitty]

Got a new customer and lots of work, so doesn't look like I'll find the time, but then again - if the customers keep pouring in like that I'll be able to buy a knife a month for a change ... which to me is better than winning the knives ...

 

[solocanoe]

condoms are a great add-on to any kit.
sure, running into "sheena" would be great...
but they are small, light, hold water well.

this is a hodgepodge of stuff around my neck when I'm paddling:

yeah, they can be re-used, and are best covered with a something soft that gives and protects (like a SOCK!) ...but those lines are just beggin for trouble.... lol!

 

[Moosez45]

Hell boys, I been fixed for 6yrs. I can't even tell you what a rubber looks like. As for carrying water, I'll just have to make something. My loadout hasn't changed, and I'm doing mine the day after tomorrow. ESEE 4, ESKABAR, and ASK. That Junglas will be MINE! One way or another. Moose

 

[imaginefj]

This is not about being Rambo..

What? But I want to be Rambo so bad I can taste it. I am actually trying to rig up a pocket clip for the junglas so I can EDC it.
