I've got a belt folding knife and some tools I've collected for various reasons in my back pack. I'd like to lose the weight and get a multi tool that is good enough. I'm thinking about a Stanley? It's cheep enough and good enough.? Not sure. Ideas??

This may be an odd question, but I have an orange tarp and a mostly orange sleeping bag that I would very much like to keep. The problem is, bright orange isn't very stealth. I'd rather it be black, a dark gray or blue, just not orange. I was thinking about possibly trying to get some black...

I researched this method to waterproof shoes and boots, but I see no reason this couldn't work on any fabric/canvas gear. I think this makes things more water resistant than proof, but whatever works is what I say. In this example, let's use shoes. Get yourself some beeswax. You can find it...

In a pinch and would love to hear some suggestions or experiences with making your own rucksack, sleeping bag etc

I will be a vagabond in about 3 months. That being the case, I am getting rid of things I do not need. I'm hoping someone can point me to a list of essential items one must have for going nomadic and living out of a backpack.

I'm exploring the idea of bike touring, and curious what some of you experienced dawgs carry in your home on wheels. What's the one thing you can't live without on the road that you sacrifice space and/or weight for?
