Ho the List!
Does anyone have any experience with the Awl-for-All? Should I
waste my
money on it? I know it's not the least bit authentic, but I would also
like to use for things around the house. Thanks.

Matt, I have done lots of sewing with this awl, but only on tubular
webbing for a climbing harness. Its not pretty, and if you space out the
stitches too much, its not very secure. Otherwise, its pretty good. The
thread is strong and its easy to shove the needle through. I have (and
contuinue) to rely on it to hold my weight while I step off a 200 foot
cliff and freefall to the bottom. Its never let me down yet. Just get it
knowing what you need it for!

Paul "Pablo" Jones of Houston, Texas was put into the hospital with problems in both lungs at 2:30 PM MDT. Those that know him, will agree it has to be serious to get him into such a place.
Let's all give him our best wishes for a fast recovery.
Later.

D,
Since you asked so nicely and as a gesture to what remains of your short
life considering your last utterance in the category of "truths that can
get you gelded".
Now mind you this is all hypothetical. I ain't saying I've ever done
it. It is a technique for dire circumstance only -- starving times. It is
illegal in every state I am aware of. Just like hunting porcupines with a
club, shooting ducks on a pond, cooking a pot of honey or hanging big fish
in trees in bear country, or chumming (baiting) pretty much any critter is
illegal; but, it works and it can feed you quietly. Now as then it
sometimes pays to be real quiet.
This is for just in case you someday get real hungry. It is one of the
best reasons to carry a piece of snare wire in your kit that I know.
Tie a trappers slip knot (like a hondo on a riata) in the end of the snare
wire and form a standing loop.
Tie the running end of the wire to a long pole.
Sneak up on the fish in the creek and as they feed in the current slip the
loop up on them from the tail side when you are half or more over the body
lift the pole to tighten the loop around their body and flip them out on
