My new EDC keychain...

Just something I made as a convenient and compact everyday carry to hold my keys. Perfect pocket size and not remotely conspicuous... ...but seriously I wanted to share this as the results of just wrapping paracord around a crowbar were surprisingly effective. I only did it to give it a better grip ...

Re: My gear so far...

I mean with something like pasta I find it confusing when it says recommended portion 200g but then says this is only 300 something calories when most days all I will eat is maybe 400g of pasta with some ham and cheese on it... well below the recommended calorie intake. So I think by sleeping alot ...

Re: My gear so far...

Great post! I like foraging too, though I don't do enough of it. Couple of things stood out to me: - dried foods, do you have any lentils and rice?

Re: My gear so far...
