i was just going through my photobucket and thought i would post up a couple of pics that i found that i thought you guys might like...

a pine bough shelter i made a year and a half ago at my old house...

looking back, i wouldn't have trusted it to protect me from much. i now know about keeping shelters small and tightly packed

a kit that i used to EDC...i now know that many of the items are nearly useless or i have replaced them with simpler, longer lasting alternatives;

a knife that a friend and i made together in 8th or 9th grade;

made from mild steel i think, or otherwise totally annealed carbon steel. probably mild steel. thick grind, crooked edge from me hammering the edge to try to thin it out cold forging style. back when i thought i wanted a sharpened prybar...

a drawing from "my side of the mountain"

still can't get it right. they are either too big to fit in a fish mouth or fall apart.

a photo that i found on the internet a few years ago and thought was really cool:

do you guys have any pics that remind you of things you have learned or used to think (and now know are wrong)?


stories about going from carrying the kitchen sink to a minimalist approach are always appreciated...
 
I was going to show my first post, but Im afraid I dont have access to my history, nor can I find all posts by me??:S
 
actually, that was something my friend made. it was some sort of dried out rubbery stuff, maybe some kind of flooring material. he foleded it over and stitched it with some thin leather lace. really not safe at all, but i guess it didn't make too much difference since the knife was so dull.
 
I think this is the first time I've noticed someone else that carrys a lead refill container to put small stuff in their psk.

I have tons of those things just floating about in my desk. What on earth could you put in them? I haven't found much, but I assume somebody would have some use or idea for them...damn packrat...:cool:
 
those lead containers are great for sewing needles, keeps them all nice and contained.

i wonder how easily one could be stuffed with pj cotton balls...maybe i will have to try this sometime to carry some pjcb without the bulk of a film canister...

Anything that can fit in them. If you don't want to loose small stuff when you tip over your psk, comes in handy. I also put a ink pen refill in it, just does fit, in case I need to write a note.
