Trivia Question 22 - July 22, 2015
How do you shop on Amazon through SM and what happens when you do?

You can access Amazon linked to SM by pressing the "SHOP" icon on the menu bar at the top of every page. By accessing Amazon through this link, Survival Monkey derives a very small incentive but many small incentives can grow into a nice tidy bonus to help cover the expense of maintaining the servers, bandwidth, etc. Just so everyone understands, the positions of Administrators and Moderators of SM are strictly voluntary and they receive no financial gain - but they do have a good time and make good friends and that's worth more than gold.

Which thread taught us how to make an arrow head?
Answer: Into the Iron Age, Arrow Point
Bushcraft Forum by Sticks65
"After my latest visit to the museum and seeing all the arrow heads and so on it inspired me to make one out of metal.
I worked as a metal worker In the local engineering trade for over 10 years so made short work of this,it took about an hour.

I used files and a vise,no electrical tools,It was hard work but a lot of fun to do,I tend to get lost in the project when making things and find it relaxing to.

When I had finished all the file work I heated the point up using a blow torch and quenched it in water,then refiled the edges.

Its not perfect but im pleased with it"

I copied the design from an ornamental arrow point."

Who was the first SM member

Answer: melbo

I was tired last night after a long work weekend an not feeling too creative. I thought there would be an answer within 30 seconds LOL Just goes to prove that old adage about the forest and the trees.

Not technically a member, but rather startup. However, I'll give you that one because you were so diligent in your search LOL

 

Just for full disclosure....Brokor figured it out first.

 

He's such a smarty pants! LOL And always willing to share what he knows
