This useful bit of information comes straight out of the FM 21-76 US ARMY SURVIVAL MANUAL. Google it for the PDF; it’s worth having. You can make your own fishhooks, nets and traps and use several methods to obtain fish in a survival situation. Improvised Fishhooks You can make field-expedient fishhooks from pins, needles, […]
Introduction to the Inuit
I was watching Snow Piercer the other day and thought the ending was pretty cool. I love the whole Asiatic Inuit look to the survivors and the polar bear in the arctic setting. The whole scene made me think about the Inuit culture that did, and still to some degree, exists in the harsh […]
How to Make Soap
I’m afraid I cannot remember who sent this great info to me. Relatives have told me that making your own soap is more of a nuisance that it is worth in our day and age. The being said; what happens if things get turned end over end? Poor hygiene has led to countless deaths in […]
Wild Sorrel

Reptiles are tetrapod vertebrates, creatures that either have four limbs or, like snakes, are […]

I just had to share this great video. Enjoy. Jon
Connex Home
I dream of the full off the grid self sufficient life style and love a good article; so when I read this I thought it was worth a share. My climate isn’t exactly conducive for connex homes without a few major modifications (and my wife would never go for it anyhow), but regardless this is pretty […]
Ron Finely, Guerrilla Gardener
So I was listening to infowars…and yes I love my conspiracy theories, even if I think most are bogus…when they had a guest on that absolutely intrigued me. Ron is a man from inner city LA that essentially got tired of tasteless vegetables exposed to and saturated by chemicals. So he went out and started […]
