Okay everyone, as expected this one is coming out of nowhere. One of S13's random thoughts.
I was speaking to a mate of mine who is going to vanish off for 3 months, to live in Thailand or near the South Pacific for with some of his friends (who apparently go very regularly). Nothing too special there. Here's the part that got me thinking, they are going so that they can spear fish throughout winter and live almost entirely off what they catch! FRICKING AWESOME!!!
Right, so jealousy aside, back on track....this got me wondering how much gear do we all have that is from a random thing that could be used for something like this.
I have basic diving equipment (not complete SCUBA set-up) and plenty of snowboarding gear. All could be useful post SHTF.
One thing I was thinking of, that might be very useful, a snow sledge (just a small one) for if you went hunting in the snow. Would make carrying back any catches a lot easier!!!
Ideas please.
Climbing harness for use to drag the snow-sledge hands free.
