I recently learned a cool trick from one of the members' YouTube channel (sorry - can't remember who at the moment), using bandanas as bags. I often keep several bandanas in my kit and his trick of folding them in half to make a triangle, tying a knot at either end at the top and then turning the whole thing inside out to make a bag is awesome. I have since incorporated it in to my pack to tote various loose items.
I have to give credit where credit is due - I found the video where I learned the trick, by abo4ster.Originally Posted by vve1505

Not in, but thanks for giving back.

I'm in. Thanks for the chance to win such a cool bag. Glad to have you here!
the best piece of knowledge I have learned is kind of in two parts. I have always struggled with sharpening knives, and i learned here that the most effective way to sharpen a knife is with very light pressure, and to use a strop properly. Sharpening isnt grinding a new edge into your knife, but polishing the edge that is there already. When i learned this, and how to refine the edge further with leather, it improved my sharpening tremendously!

I'm in - and Thank You :-)
The most important thing I have observed in the members of this forum, is the ability/willingness/tenacity to "Get Back Out There", even when things go wrong.
Members have had ill-fated outings, as well as Serious injuries, but have overcome the problems and gone right back out there.
I'm in.
For knowledge, there is nothing you can buy in a store, online or even put in your pack that will make up for having the knowledge and wisdom in your head of how to use them or that you don't need them!
