How do I get a summer job on a fire watch?
What are some of the skills I need?
Anyone have any stories?

How did ancient people around the world survive with stone tools? What about before that? I'm really interested in survival and ancient, primitive stuff.

Why the fuck are insulated, safety/steel toed boots that are affordable so god damn hard to find, and are these really my only option? Also, boots/footwear general

Do you guys think this could kill squirrels and frogs? I've seen frogs get clapped by a 350 fps bb gun but i just wanna make sure

Let's take a moment to discuss the venerable Bundeswehr winter parka.

Pros:
- Nigh-indestructible cotton twill outer
- Removable liner
- Available everywhere, especially in the NATOsphere
- Loden is the best camouflage color on the planet. If you set this thing down on a stump, you'd better remember which one.

Cons:
- Can't wear in public in Europe without being mistaken for either a left- or right-wing terrorist
- Can't wear in public in USA without being mistaken for a homeless cannibal
- Heavy as shit and 10x heavier when wet
- Waterproofing consists of two fragile slips of plastic under the shoulders
- Zipper doesn't extend all the way down
- Two slash pockets instead of voluminous pouches like everyone else's armed forces
- Poorly fitted. You get winded just trying to hike with it. Arms too short to fit anyone but a Chernobyl child.

Why?

I am looking for someone to help me turn the world into a dense forest. Anyone interested?

My girlfriend lost my edc flashlight, so now I'm in the market for another one. It was a protac 1L-1aa, which I really liked, except for the shitty clip. I'm looking for something that's around $40, uses lithium batteries and puts out at least 350 lumens. Any recommendations?
