This daypack review is a long time in the making. I have owned this Fieldline Tactical pack for over a year and used and abused the hell out of it. I have taken it on hikes, quick camp trips, Mardi Gras and whenever I need to take things along. I mainly use it now to carry my podcasting gear to Mikes every week. So this daypack has been put through the ringers and today I’ll let you know how it fared.
Sometimes things really click with me. While watching a Wranglerstar called my three things I had this happen. It was a video I almost didn’t bother watching. He started talking about using it to keep his shop clean and my eyes glazed over. I am a pretty messy guy and the thought of cleaning does not appeal to me. I let the video run a bit then it sank in. I’ll embed the video for you to watch. So what are the three things, why did it click and how’s it working?
My buddy Todd over at Survival Sherpa reprinted my hobo can stove project way back in December 2012. He had a comment on it recently wanting to see how the pot holder worked. It seems that in my pictures the flames are hiding them. He shot me an email to see if I could shoot a picture of it. Well I no longer have that stove but told him I would build on a new one to take pictures of. Figured while I was at it I would post it here in case any of you have the same question.
Making a pot holder on these hobo stoves is super easy. I use steel tent pegs that I carry anyway for tarps. First line up where they will go on the can. I like them to angle in towards each other. Make sure that at the widest part your pot can’t fall through. I find that pots are more stable with the pegs at an angle than parallel.
Use a marker to mark where you will drill the holes for the pegs.
I like to use a hole punch to keep the drill bit from walking on me.
Next drill your holes to slightly bigger than the pegs and your done.
Hope this helps clarify how it works. Thanks and get busy building. DIY 2 Survive!

Since the Audio was so bad last time we had on Paul Wheaton He stopped back by again. This time the audio is perfect and it only took me two minutes to edit. This time we talk about the following:
How to get started in permaculture, Finding Land, Lemon Tree in Montana?! Staying Cool in the Summer and Hippies. With a few tangents thrown in for good measure. You will get some great ideas on permaculture techniques to get out there and start doing. Getting Paul to share some of the techniques on how to grow the lemon tree were awesome. I have heard him talking about it but never really say how. I tried to pull all the permaculture knowledge from him as possible this time. The conversation turned towards nutrition and cancer at one point which are both big with me. I highly agree that they are connected. I also got to quiz him about making a creek. I had heard this mentioned several times and was happy to ask him directly on how to make a creek using permaculture.

Today is an excellent guest post about debt elimination. When I was contacted by Gale Newell on submitting an article on debt reduction I was excited to run it. Debt is evil and needs to be destroyed. So enjoy this and get rid of the debt. -James
Prepping is about being self-reliant. It’s about being detached from any and all dependencies. When SHTF the current political and economic systems we currently fall in line with will be gone, or at least much less stable and reliable on an everyday basis. No longer will you be able to leave your home, get in your car, drive to the local supermarket and secure all the foodstuffs on your shopping list. Food and other supplies will be scarcer and much harder to acquire. Life in general will not be as easy as it is now. So what can you do to prep for the future? Start with cutting those strings of dependency. First and foremost, eliminate any and all debts tying you down.
