Survival Watches

Hi,

I was wondering what a good survival watch/outdoors watch would be, I like the idea of a compass on it. Uhm any other handy stuff that should be on it. One that is durable and preferably analog - not digital

In this series I will show discuss and display the items that I keep in my Survival Backpack. You may call it a BOB (bug out bag), GHB (get home ...

I often watch survival shows and documentaries, and I noticed that the people involved never eat green leaves. I understand that you have to be careful about what you eat in the wilderness, but say you came across a maple tree with fresh green leaves. Is there any reason why you couldn't or shouldn't eat them? Even if they're low in vitamins, wouldn't they at least provide calories? I figure it would be like eating fresh cabbage.

There are a lot of wild plants and veggies that are edible. But without an extensive knowledge of plants its almost impossible to know what will feed you and what will kill you. Especially when you consider that with some plants the roots may be edible but the leaves could be poisonous, or vice versa.
The vast majority of survival manuals are filled with crudely drawn sketches of which plants are edible. This typically only serves to confuse the novice rather than help in a survival situation. You're far better off to remain hungry and focus your energy on procuring a safe water source.
In the event that you are stuck in a long term survival situation here is a link to help even the most inexperienced survivalist ascertain what is edible and what is not. http://www.wikihow.com/Test-if-a-Plant-I s-Edible

Considering that you can survive anywhere from 2 weeks to a month on nothing but water (depending on your body fat percentage) It is much better to remain hungry rather than end up inadvertently poisoning yourself. Buy a good survival manual and read it a few times... you never know it just might interest you !

Carry extra 550 lb paracord with this custom made survival watch.
Very stylish easily deployed to assist in survival situations.
A must-have for any out-doors man.

Try 'Alive' for a survival film. The true story about a South American rugby team who crashed in the Andes and resorted to eating their dead to stay alive. It was made in 1993 and the whole film is up on youtube if you want to watch it.
