This has been a problem with many situations from power outages, fires, floods, wide internet and cell outages, and many other events that causes both cell and internet outages. The short answer is, YES, there are many ways to do this. Some sort of still requires internet, and some do not require internet or cell…
This has been a problem with many situations from power outages, fires, floods, wide internet and cell outages or lack of coverage, and many other events that causes both cell and internet outages. There are many ways to send and receive text messages without cell and internet. I began investigating how I can send and…
This is a very interesting question. The answer to that in a catastrophic event survival situation is, NO. And what I can tell you is I have traded some interesting things with people when I was out on a solo journey. Here are some things traded.
The Rules of Threes is the most important thing to focus on in a survival situation. Now you should know that you need Shelter, Fire, Water, then Food in that order. Without shelter, you will be in a world of hurt in 3 hours. Without fire, you may not stay warm, nor can you boil…
The people who ask me this question have learned some skills, and they want to practice it beyond their home and backyard. The best place to test your survival skills are in areas where you are not familiar with. That being said, get out and go camping. This is where you can at least practice…
I love this question, and one that is asked of me everywhere I go. Shemagh or Keffiyeh is a large loosely woven square cotton cloth similar to a bandana (bandana is tightly woven) but much larger than one. People in the middle eastern part of the planet wear one for a number of reasons. Here…
It has to be jerky or biltong. Very portable, high protein content, of course I will supplement that with carbs and fiber. But I like my jerky, beans, rice, and dried apples. Very portable food and it’s great for adventuring or camping as well. I also like the camping food where you add boiling water,…
This is a tough question to answer. The answer is, YES. The type of gun is also crucial to think about. Handguns are more portable and can be worn on a belt. But you need to be able to shoot well with a handgun. Shotguns are easier to shoot and hit the target, but it is heavier and not as portable (though there are great packs that can holster a shotgun.) Rifles and AR style guns are good, but again, you need to be able to shoot well, and they are definitely not compact.
This one is tough as I love my waxed canvas jackets, but I have to say in this order GORE-TEX Pro and GORE-TEX Performance are my most favorite materials for waterproof jackets. These 2 materials are hands down the best at keeping you dry and these fabrics are breathable. The price difference, maybe the features…
This is the most common question I get about water. The answer is, YES. People watch TV shows like Naked and Afraid, and they seem to be okay drinking boiled water. However, boiling water doesn’t necessarily kill all bacteria, nor does it get rid of any chemicals present in the questionable water. The best way…
