  1. Bush craft versus survival

    Don't forget the big Bushcraft Campout is next month... www.georgiabushcraft.com Awesome time with some amazing people. There will be some world class instructors and classes that run for 2 full days. A few "famous" people too. (I'm also one of the sponsors for this event...
  2. dick proenneke cabin build video playlist

    I bought the DVD... watch it every few months. He inspired me to build my own cabin and live in the woods. Haven't regretted it yet.
  3. Bush trapper's notes from back in the day.

    While I won't deny that snares can be effective. The videos way over simplify thier use. Makes it seem like anyone can set a bunch and catch something. I'm a professional trapper. (State licensed) I also occasionally teach primitive style trapping. It's not near as easy or effective as it seems...
  4. Primitive Technology guy drops a new video...

    Always amazes. I'm willing to bet he is happier than 99% of people out there.
  5. DIY Food prep

    I have a tote system I use. Take one larger plastic tote and fill with canned food, rice, and pasta you would normally eat. Add sugar and salt. And bullion cubes, plus other spices you may like. Corn Green beans Beans Potatoes Peas ...etc Peanut butter Tuna Chicken Beef Stew, soups, spaghetti...
  6. Best place to buy 55 gallon water barrel?

    I've bought a variety from him over the last few years. Definitely recommend him. Good selection. Good quality
  7. Axe care and history US Forestry brochure thread?

    Don't know the thread, but if you need some info I might can help. I restore vintage axes.
  8. Surviving in North georgia.

    Good on you. Boys need the woods like fish need water. I'd start with one day and night. Bring a tarp and a blanket and just enjoy the time. Bring hotdogs and let them cook them over the fire. Matches and water a little bug spray and turn the phones off. Make a list as you go along and add...
  9. Bush trapper's notes from back in the day.

    Interesting read for sure. Trapping is fast becoming a lost art. Many times I see those "generic magazine" lists that include snares for the BOB. And wonder how many people have actually used snares. I would rather have rat traps. Or even a couple of small #110's than snares in my bag. Rodents...
  10. SHTF trade question

    You know, I helped with some of the relief efforts after the Tuscaloosa tornado. Pretty close to a SHTF even for that area. Know what they wanted after food and water? Toiletries. Yup. Soap, shampoo, personal hygiene items. That's what more people asked for..
  11. Bow drill fail

    You know it seems to me a wilderness survival weekend would be a blast. Paulding Forest has some great spots, and so does Johns Mountain. Wonder if anyone would be up for an over nighter. Just grab the possibles bag, and the wool blanket and wander back a ways. :becky:
  12. Bow drill fail

    I would venture to say it's possible the wood was still damp. Getting wood completely dried out isn't always simple. I have split into logs and had a fair amount of moisture even after 4 or 5 months of drying time. Put the wood you are using in the oven for 24-48 hours at the lowest setting to...
  13. Finding land questions

    I think it is important to point out that the size of the land is important and also the lay of it. I shoot, hunt, fish, and ride on mine with the kids. While I only own 10 acres (soon to be 18) I have a 70 acre lease and another 40 acres I have permission to be on. My minimum was 10 acres...
  14. Finding land questions

    Go south... Or west I've got 8 acres next to mine I'm buying for $24k. With a nice creek. No neihbors and secluded. I paid $33k for my 10 acres. To give you some comparison.
  15. After "The Revenant" everyone wants to try being a Mountain Man

    It's ok with me. My axes are selling well. And it seems my beard has put me back in style again. I live in the woods about half the time anyway. Showering in the creek and eating furry animals isn't for everyone though.
  16. What are your favorite prepper books

    For raw information you can order all the survivalblog.com archives on CD. It has years of informative articles. And it's cheap. Go to survivalblog.com and take look at it.
  17. What's your apocalypse load out?

    Can't say: :cool: But rhymes with tannerite.....
  18. How to find Fatwood

    I've got piles of it all over the woods. If anyone wanted to come trade a few hours of log splitting you can have as much as you can carry. LOL (I have a nice 8lb maul you can use)
