No it is not... But outstanding guess. I was referring to the auto locking belaying device developed by the French rock climbing brand "Petzl"

I found a good deal on the GriGri 1. However I couldn't find any substantial information. Most of what I could find was on the GriGri 2. I have a few concerns about it though. Where there any problems with the original grigri? I know there was a recall on the GriGri 2. Is there any reason why...

Well I hate to be the one person being all negative and what not. But I did not like the SAS handbook at all.... I found it dull and really hard to sit and read. Its about 571 pages long! I found it difficult to understand at times, such as what exactly it was trying to tell you to do. I thought...

I learned a lot of what I know from TV. For instance I would see them eat something on man vs wild or survivorman and I would look it up online to learn how to prepare it and where it was found as well as how to properly identify it. I also learned a lot from talking with older ones, they have...

I lost a ferro rod a while back, i tripped and fell and it fell out of my pocket. Unfortunately I didn't notice until I was back home. However I went back about a month later to where I fell and found it, I was amazed. Ever since then every hour or so, or when I do something crazy I do an "Item...

Yea I have looked at para cord at camping survival and debated about getting it. However the fist thing that jumps out at me on the item description is where it says "PLEASE NOTE: This item may not come on a continuous 1000' spool, and may be broken up into shorter lengths." Has any one got...

Any body got any good Ideas for natural tinder? And I don't mean Vaseline and cotton balls, or dryer lint or anything like that. I am talking about stuff you find in the woods.

I grew up watching Steve Irwin, I generally relocate snakes weather they are poisonous or not. If they are poisonous I am more careful handling them and take them farther from my camp. I hate to see people kill a snake just because its a snake. However if its endangering you or your family...
