"Traps and
Trapping"

Trapping
is an absolutely essential skill for
those interested in self-reliance

wild game with primitive and modern
traps.

twitchups, deer snares, and bird
traps. In addition, he throws in

yourself after watching this
video... you need a supermarket!" |

Swedish Mora Knife
Most of the knife-work you do in the wilderness is of a fine
nature - carving firemaking tools,
traps, bows, or camp utensils, hence a good carving knife is what you will use the majority of
the time. An ax will take care of the heavy-duty jobs. We have found the Swedish Mora knife to
be a blade that holds an edge like no other. These blades are high-carbon steel (good for Flint
& Steel firemaking), have a comfy rubber handle, and come with their own sheath.
Cost: $20.00 per
blade plus $3.50 s/h

Spark Rod |

|
|
Metal match with wooden handle.
These produce a hot shower of sparks
for igniting tinder in wet weather.
A treasured item on Ancient Pathways

rods for the past fifteen years
under rigorous conditions and they
are a must-have item for the
wilderness. Each rod will last for
around 500 fires! |

Potable Aqua Iodine Water Purification Tablets |
|
|

When drinking water is of
questionable quality, use Potable Aqua Germicidal
Tablets to make most water bacteriologically
suitable for drinking. This is the treatment method
we use on our survival courses. One bottle contains
50 tablets and will purify 25 to 50 quarts of water,
depending on source of water. |

up better than any of the other
commercial tarps out there. |
