Just so you know, that picture is one of my oldest daughter about three years ago, and thank fully she has never been lost. But we plan for the worst and hope for the best. Some great info for you guys tonight that I pulled largely from a phenomenal book titled The Survivors Club by […]
Bunker Thoughts
From the Oxford Dictionary a bunker is defined as a reinforced underground shelter, typically for use in wartime. From the online encyclopedia Wikipedia a bunker is a defensive military fortification designed to protect people or valued materials from falling bombs or other attacks. Bunkers are mostly below ground, compared to blockhouses which are mostly above […]
Trail Running
If you’re curious about my running background I think you’ll find it unimpressive. I’ve logged some good miles over the last decade and a half; but to be quite honest, I had never really run before I joined the military. At basic training I experienced something new; running until the tears were streaming out of […]
High Adventure
Every year the scouting group I belong to embarks on a hardcore camping trip for the varsity age scouts. Last year in 2013 I had the opportunity to accompany them to Idaho’s highest alpine lake. With this group I’ve now hit multiple alpine lakes with obscure names that can only be seen on detailed topographical […]
Patriots: A Novel of Surviving the Coming Collapse
I have to give thanks to my brother for another great book review. I’ve also read this book but was introduced to it from another source. Among prepping circles this will typically be among the top recommended books. Personally I think the story telling is good but not superb; but the information and other literature […]
Wild Berries Of Idaho (Part two)
In a continuation of an earlier article my mother has been kind enough to provide a part two. I hope you enjoy. My mother tapered off the full number of huckleberry recipes, but if you want them put a note in the bottom and I’ll get her in contact with you. We have an abundance […]
MREs; the Good, Bad, and the Ugly
I’m not going to waste time discussing taste or which meals are better than others because in a survival or tactical situation that is 100% irrelevant. Having taken these meals on hiking and camping trips the most obvious disadvantage to these as an emergency meal or bug-out-bag supplies are the weight and space. Before I […]
The Hobbit House
I read this some time ago and found it quite fascinating. Not only did this family combine the beauty of nature with practicality; but they did it cheap. Check out the website and look at some of the modifications they made to keep the home as efficient as possible and to minimize their footprint on […]
Pine Nuts
We didn’t get these very often growing up because we didn’t know how to harvest them, and I think my parents were unfamiliar with these nuts. I’ve since developed quite a taste for them that drew my curiosity into what trees they come from and how to harvest them and how are they harvested. There […]
