The taste was similar but had a little more of a radish type bite to it. This post will outline wild carrots (Queen Anne’s Lace), poison hemlock, and some tips for […]

Winter Shelter

Attached are a few winter shelter ideas I’ve collected.  If you’ve ever gone winter camping then you’ve probably tried some or most of these.  Some are duplicates of the same conceptual design because the diagrams illustrate different aspects better. Jon

Introduction to the Inuit

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 […]

I was sitting with my dad the other night talking about foraging and he told me about wild sorrel.  I was surprised that I had not taken the time to learn more about it before.  He said he loves the lemony flavor and grows domesticated versions in his yard.  A little research together and we found some […]

Jonathan Prusse

I’m a guy who cares about his family. I want to make sure that those I love have the tools necessary to survive. In my own life I’ve seen the benefits which food storage and self-sufficiency have provided for my own immediate family during times of financial strain. Most of my own experience comes down to farm life, foraging in the woods, scouting, military service and combat deployments; to name several of life’s major building blocks. Not only do I want to share, I want to learn; so give me your insight. And while I do my best to ensure all information is correct; let me know if any corrections need to be made.
