tools

An interesting article talking about big picture ideas when it comes to the small tools that are often mentioned on this site. Since it's from 2021 I'll let the title slide - I think they were trying to scrape clicks with the toxic masculinity hashtag more than they were trying to make that...

hey yall, i posted this in this section because it covers like... every section, and I thought posting each individual thing in its own section would annoy people with spam posts. if this should go somewhere else ill gladly move the post. anyway, im in the process of getting a list of gear, and...

how do yall organize your tools? im in the process of gathering gear rn and i noticed i have a LOT of tools - i'll probably slim the list down but im wondering how people keep track of all of it. used the StP gear list guide, if yall have any comments on my current list LMK!!!!

Do you guys fish while on the road? I fish all the time when i can being from the pnw its a right of passage what do you fish with ? And what tackle do you use i use a two peace bamboo rod with my daiwa 7300 damn reels indestructible

I would prefer one with a sheath that can strap to a belt or something. Also are throwing knifes practical? They would be cool to have but don't seem to have much use, other than being a cheap, legal though less effective replacement for a gun.

Was reading through some of the self-defense/self-defense tools threads and thought I'd share my experience with carrying this thing as I really like it: https://blktriangle.com/collections/hard-goods/products/black-triangle-senka-available-9-15 For what it is, which is a pure self-defense...

So, I've been volleying around the idea of hosting a workshop of rehandling basic tools. I.e. hammers and such of that nature. Thinkin' I'll try to grab a few heads at a flea market or something. And grab a few handles from whatever hardware store that has close enough sizes. Eh??

Need something utilitarian that'll hold up a while, I don't want the blade snapping while I do something. Any ideas?

You know, I got to thinking, the knife is a fundamental tool. Not only is it a weapon, but it's also a tool. As a matter as fact, I would even argue that it is more of a tool than it is a weapon. Unless we're talking about a Bowie knife that thing's a fuckin weapon, primarily, there's no way...

not sure if this is the best subforum, more about people than art isn´t it? and wouldn´t want it lost in general banter, but I have no qualms should a moderator want to move this - Here we go - it´s 18 minutes and fastpaced, very little if any filler disclaimer: it´s a TEDtalk, I don´t know...

I just found out black powder revolvers - real old replica six shot ones with lead balls not bullets - can be mail ordered. Mostly I just want one cause it's so fucking awesome but is it a bad idea to carry a gun like this on the road?

First off: I'm not entirely sure this is posted in the right section. If its not, feel free to let me know and/or change it. That said, in a recent post in the trainhopping subforum, it was mentioned that intermodal transport offers little to no shelter from the weather unless you can find a...

Been thinking about heading to Houston this winter to visit a friend of mine that recently moved, I live in Central Virginia Don't see any threads about guns here, is there a reason for that? I was gonna buy one soon anyways but I'd figure it'd be a good weapon for self protection and my state...

For those who tinker and toil. For infiltration and exfiltration what the hell even emergency situations! I show you my tool kit! 2 inch vise grips. Lil crescent. Razor knife. Multi tool. Fero fire stick. pencil. Water key. Multi screwdriver. Magnifying glass. Looking to find ideas to add to...

Cali seems to have a unique way of making understanding thier knife laws damn near impossible. Have looked online and the closest thing I found to making sense and not being contradictory was a lawyers site, which proceeded to tell me that different areas may enforce things differently. Wtf. I...

Does anyone have experience with a sling (not a slingshot)? I know it's a good weapon, but I want to hear if anyone has experience using one on the road, and if it's worth the time to practice

A friend just gave me one of these and it is really powerful. Took a while to find out what it was called but I finally found the website. https://www.thepocketshot.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html Shot some rocks with it and was really impressed. Fairly new product but I will add this to my...

I believe that this should be a nice little app that you might want to keep handy on your android phone or what-not. Some of you could find yourselves uploading videos/photos of your travels but avoiding the use of 3G/4G mobile data to do so. Meanwhile, most public wi-fi hotspots can act so...

I've got a small (roughly like 1ft x 9inchs) dewalt bag with my drill, charger, battery, sawsall, and few other basic tools, I'd like to bring with me soon to keep money coming in. weighs maybe 20lb any pros and cons from experience?

I just got back from a few day trip out in the Elliott State Forest and while I was out there I had an idea on how to improve my troll pole. I should start by explaining that a troll pole is a device used for stoking fires. Usually metal and a few feet long, pinched off at one end; the pole...
