I just finished watching a film that impressed me with its views of what a future depleted of humans might look like. In a previous article I shared some images of Detroit and what the desolation of that once great city looks like. This time around I want to share some images of Pripyat and […]
Rabbit Snare
I enjoy learning about traps because of my philosophy: in the advent of an emergency big game will be hunting clean in any populated area within a matter of weeks; however, small critters will always be around to trap and eat if you have the skills and tools. One of the most common edible critters […]
Car Kit
I’m going to share a quick story; not because it was very prominent in life’s experiences, but because it made me think. I was making the four hour commute today back from the work place to my home when I stopped at a small mountain scenic overlook to take care of business. I was walking […]
Kids and Poison
I became aware of an interesting situation the other day.

My […]

Blisters and Duct Tape
Blisters and Duct Tape I know there are websites out there with a million uses for duct tape; but let me share one of my primary uses for that amazing product. To be honest I love the stuff, but I’ve always thought duct tape wallets, hats, boats, and whatever else people make with the stuff […]
Wild Onions
This is an interesting little edible plant that grows most everywhere in the western United States in an assortment of varieties. As far as I can tell it was first cataloged and written about on the Lewis and Clark expedition among the Nez Perce April 29-June 9, 1806 when they encountered geyer’s onion May 30, […]
Fire Arm Terminology
Nobody likes to walk into a store or have a discussion about firearms and realize the other people are using a language that you cannot decipher. After beginning to research and build my own list of terms worth knowing I came across this complete list on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_firearms_terms and found it worth sharing.
