    Only had it out a couple of times this year. I don't have the ambition to singlehandedly throw it on top of the pickup twice for each use: once to get it to the water, and once to get it home again.. I really need to finish its trailer. The guy who sold me the original trailer and said he'd do all the welding to convert it seems to have petered out on me, and so did a guy I was going to pay.

    I haven't touched a welder for almost forty years. But it looks like I may have to suck it up and start practicing, if I want it done.

    A tube of silicone and a roll of duct tape fixes most things.
    Not pretty though! :)

    How is duct tape like The Force?

    -It has a light side and a dark side, and binds the universe together.

    In my Jeep's toolbox I always have a tube of silicone, a roll of duct tape, a roll of baling wire and a couple of sticks of putty epoxy. Also a roll of stretchy repair tape, for wrapping leaky radiator hoses or whatever... forget what that's called.

    Add superglue and a big knife, and you can rebuild society from the ground up! :D

    I usually have the big knife on my belt... I use it for everything from splitting firewood to eating steak.

    I carry a cold steel perfect balance thrower among other knives in the rough.

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030DHIOK...e=asn&creative=395097&creativeASIN=B0030DHIOK

    I don't throw it.

    It's a rugged Bowie and inexpensive yet well made. A small very sharp machete.

    I also carry a Stanley folder with a lockback one hand opening skinning blade and the other handle end a slide out utility blade which I install roof shingle blades in.
    Replaceable Gut hook! and emergency scalpel. Rugged, cheap and nobody steals it.

    And I carry a small ceramic paring knife and a Rapala fillet knife.
    Both cheap and VERY sharp!

    I sometimes carry a modified hoof knife.

    Both curved edges sharpened for whittling and hollowing.
    The strait part both blunted for thumb pressing.

    That's it. Only 5 knives to do it all.

    There needs to be a willingness to accept that science may have answers humans may not like for it to be good science.

    And sometimes science is used to find a reason to support a gut feeling.

    All that CO2 just HAS to be bad.

    So what problems is it causing?

    Global Warming!

    No?

    Well, CLIMATE CHANGE then!

    Rather than:
    We have observed a problem. what's causing it.


    the second is science.
    the first example is an agenda.

    No, that is not science, that is activism disguised at science. It can also be called pseudo-science.

    for survival, those are all way too small. All peoples that live in the wild always carry very large knives, machetes or swords. You would not believe how really handy they are, I always have one in my car, cuts and splits wood, cuts a trail through overgrowth, can dig a trench, even build an igloo with one. I always one or two in my car and take everywhere, hiking, camping or for use on my wooded 5 acres. Good ones are cheap, $10-20, but it takes you to put a good edge on it. you can even make a dug-out canoe. I used one to make a kayak paddle from a length of cedar drift wood. Very rugged and cheap, you are not afraid to use it hard.

    I agree. a machete is an excellent tool.
    but i'm usually hunting or fishing or both.
    a machete is a little cumbersome to carry with the other long gear. shotgun and fishing rod. :)

    How about staying on topic? If you want a thread about machetes start one somewhere else.

    Legitimate scientists all over the world are involved in studying climate change, one way or another. I don't think they're the ones spouting pseudo-science....

    And Yob, you need to drop the 'global warming turned into climate change' schtick. As has been pointed out, the CC in IPCC stands for Climate Change, and always has. Since it's been named that since it was founded in 1988, your pretense that the term 'climate change' is a recent invention is obviously nonsense.

    But someone will be saying it again pretty soon in this very thread, just like it was said only a few posts ago. Matter of fact, it'll probably be you who says it again - unless someone beats you to it.:rolleyes:

    I own several machetes of one sort or another. Mostly I use them around my property, but there's always one in my Jeep and my pickup.

    And Gonzo, this is at least as relevant to the subject at hand as unfounded mutterings that climatology is pseudo-science and someone pulled a switcheroo on what anthropological climate change is called....:p
