Here are some quick instructions for whipping up a bottle of dog repellent. Use a 3% or less solution of ammonia and dilute with water if its too strong. Add the ammonia to a squirt bottle and you’ve now created your own homebrew dog repellent.
The solution works, when sprayed at the attacking dog’s nose, by overwhelming the dog’s olfactory nerves.

Some people say that “Life is too short to drink cheap wine.” Others spend most of their nights consuming nothing but “Two Buck Chuck.” A select group of wine drinkers have a constant flow of affordable wine in the fridge with a box of Franzia.
If you are a box wine drinker or are considering becoming one, we found a great excuse (like you need one) for continuing to enjoy the fresh wine on tap. The trick here is the bag inside the box can be reused. The bag is airproof and compact and does a fine job of storing liquids for your excursions into the outdoors.
See the how-to at instructables.
Two-Heel Drive provides a nice tip for hikers:
“Check out www.minimus.biz — which sells single-serving condiments, drinks (coffee!) and other travel-size goodies.”

The problem with most survival kits is they are huge. You simply don’t have room in your hunting jacket for a foot long box of survival gear. Field and Stream has an excellent pictorial showing how to assemble a pocket size survival kit in an Altoids tin. The kit includes all of the essentials (besides shelter) and somehow they manage to fit it all into the small container. You can definitely tell they did their homework when designing this kit. The article is worth the read if you frequently venture into the middle of nowhere.
