when i was a wee lad just getting into backpacking i bought this book........http://www.amazon.com/Camping-Woodcraft-Handbook-Travelers-Wilderness/dp/0870495569

Written in 1906 it is filled with images and suggestions on gear to be had from Abercrombie & Fitch.


The author, Horace Kephart I later learned thanks to Ken Burn's The National Parks was pretty much responsible for the founding and formation of Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Which was the first National Park to be initially funded by private donors. He and photographer George Masa are the two to thank for this gem of a park.

I tried but it's such a common and widely used design throughout the 20th century that it was pretty futile, you could probably find the answer in this book but I doubt that it's worth it. Chances are is that this particular model was made by a company called EKCO in the 1920s or 1930s. I'm only guessing that it was made then is because it just looks rusty but EKCO made that model well into the 1960s. So at least you know of the company that made it.

Maybe a cover for when it's not in use? No idea really. Looks like these though:

It's looks like you can get it though Amazon (the US version). A little pricey for a blanket but maybe they don't make them anymore?

Isn't this in the Frequently Asked Things? It's a cookie dropper.

I can really recommend "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick, in which the I Ching (and other Eastern cultural influences) has become big in America.

It's a tool used give extra grip when opening stubborn caps on jars or anything else.

Nope not very valuable at all unfortunately. Less than a dollar each on Amazon. Pretty sturdy containers, but don't chuck it in a fire or anything that could cause it to explode.

Interesting choice of arrest book, I have a follow up for anyone reading, what was Assange shouting as he was arrested?

Sky News are reporting he’s telling the U.K. to refuse the Trump Administration with large portions of what he is saying labels as “inaudible”.

Wouldn’t that statement go against the whole point of Wikileaks who leaked Hillary’s emails?
