The Bushcraft Duo

The Bushcraft Duo

This is a recent addition to my EDC gear for those times when you need the capabilities of a small axe to prevent using a good knife blade for something other than its intended purpose.

The combination of a good fixed blade knife and a small axe will be a good cutting combination.

You can read about this pocket axe here:

Paracord

Paracord is a simply "must have" piece of survival gear. It's got numerous uses, is lightweight and easy to carry. Always try to keep a bunch on hand (at least 50 feet or so) for emergencies. I like to use both the green (for stealth mode) and the orange (for those times when it needs to be seen). I also try to stick with the better quality 8 Strand 550 Paracord.

Got paracord?

Smoker Barrel Tips - Wood Chunks vs. Wood Chips

Due to the fact that a smoker barrel with a full load of charcoal will normally burn for anywhere from 10 to 12 hours, I’ve found that wood chunks work better than wood chips. The normally smaller, thinner wood chips will burn up much faster. Three inch diameter limbs broken up into quarters make good sized chunks that will last almost as long as your charcoal. Just place a few handfuls in your wood chip holder and start smokin’!

Warning: Make sure you soak them in water beforehand to avoid a flame up.
