Affordable Emergency Reserve Food Storage

2011-09-01T14:30:00.000-04:00

While many of us prepare for our family’s future needs with things like life insurance, trust funds, and college funds, we often overlook life’s most basic need- food. As we have learned through recent crises, it can take several days for the government and relief organizations to get food and water to those in need. Because of this, government and religious organizations have urged people to prepare themselves by storing extra food and water.Having an emergency supply of food isn’t a new idea; in fact, it was a very common practice not too many years ago. Canning and bottling throughout the summer and fall could be seen in many homes. Even today, societies that rely on crops grown locally know that it is essential to store rice, beans, wheat, and corn whenever there is a good growing season, because a drought may be around the corner.

As more families have moved away from the farms, and into the suburbs, many have developed a dependency on the grocery store for food, and the kitchen sink for clean water. No doubt about it, modern conveniences are a wonderful thing and simplify life, but what happens if the grocery store cannot receive new shipments of food? What will you do if the local water supply is contaminated? What if you lose your job, and unemployment doesn’t allow for paying the mortgage and buying groceries? These are difficult questions that many people put little thought into until they are faced with some type of challenge

Many bugs are edible

2011-08-05T13:49:00.002-04:00

Military survival manuals indicate that insects are an ideal food alternative. Nutritionists likewise report most bugs are good for your health.

Rotting logs lying on the ground are excellent places to look for a variety of insects including ants, termites, beetles, and grubs, which are beetle larvae. Do not overlook insect nests on or in the ground. Grassy areas, such as fields, are good areas to search because the insects are easily seen. Stones, boards, or other materials lying on the ground provide the insects with good nesting sites. Insect larvae are also edible. Insects such as beetles and grasshoppers that have a hard outer shell will have parasites. Cook them before eating. Remove any wings and barbed legs also. You can eat most insects raw. The taste varies from one species to another. Wood grubs are bland, while some species of ants store honey in their bodies, giving them a sweet taste. You can grind a collection of insects into a paste. You can mix them with edible vegetation. You can cook them to improve their taste.

Scorpion Reptiles and Bugs

Snake Bite First Aid

2011-07-20T16:53:00.000-04:00

Pit Viper

The pit viper has “pits,” on their heads. These organs help the snake locate prey and adjust the amount of venom used according to the size of their prey.

The glands, or venom sacks are connected to the fangs, which act like hollow hypodermic needles. These fangs are voluntarily controlled by the snake. They can raise either one or both fangs, or neither.

When fangs break off, there is usually another fang below, or there may be one next to it.

Therefore, snakebites can present as one puncture wound, two, three or even four.

The pit viper can strike about 50% of its body length, and has been recorded to strike at about 7 feet per second. The forked tongue is equivalent to our nose. The snake senses chemicals in the air with their tongue, aiding in the location of prey.

Their pupils are elliptical, and all pit vipers in the United States have elliptical pupils, as opposed to non-venomous snakes which have round pupils. The age of a rattlesnake cannot be determined by the number of rattles. Rattles frequently break off, and therefore is an unreliable method to determine age.

Snake Bite fix it

Lean-to shelter in the wilderness

2011-07-11T14:19:00.000-04:00

A shelter can protect you from the sun, insects, wind, rain, snow, hot or cold temperatures, and enemy observation. It can give you a feeling of well-being. It can help you maintain your will to survive. In some areas, your need for shelter may take precedence over your need for food and possibly even your need for water. Assess the situation. How long do you think you will need your lean-to? How urgently do you need to make a lean-to? Theses things will let you know how strong to make your shelter, or how much time you need to spend on it. Scan the ground, find some sticks, about the size of two thumbs width. If you can't find the right size, make due with what you can find. If you have a pocket knife on hand, cut them off of short trees, preferably without leaves, branches are fine. You will need long limbs. Look around you. Find a few large trees, if you can find a particularly large one, that’s very good, if not, find a few that are very close together, perhaps a foot apart. Check the warning at the bottom of the page. How to build a lean-to

Black Widow Spider

Biting insects can hide in your foot wear. If you do get an insect bite it usually can be treated on the spot. Mosquitoes, gnats and flees bites will not show up immediately so you need to watch the area for any signs of infection. Tick bites you need to cut off the oxygen to the head of the tick to remove the tick safely.

When you have been bitten by an insect you should stop all strenuous activity. Watch for hives and bee's nests around hollow rotted logs and low lying tree limbs too.
Black Flies have a terrible and nasty insect bite that can itch and sting, black flies will also swarm over you, they will crawl and wiggle to get under clothing to get your skin and bite Unfortunately Deet doesn't work as very good to repel blackflies like it does for mosquitoes Insect bites spider bites

Poison ivy or poison oak

2011-06-28T16:43:00.000-04:00

If left untreated highly sensitive to these plants you need to see a doctor. So what are the fix it ways to treat the problem or prevent it here are some ideas how to cope with poison ivy and oak. First you need to know the plant what it looks like and where it might be growing. If you hike and go into the woods you need to become familiar with how it looks like in that area. Normally poison ivy looks like a low vine with grayish white berries and pointed leaves usually in groups of three. The reddish leaves turn green in the summer and reddish again by fall. Poison oak is a shrub or small tree with greenish whit berries and oak like leaves that appear in groups of three. Spotting these plants is not always easy.

Poison Ivy Help

Make a first aid kit

2011-06-21T11:55:00.002-04:00

You should have a first aid kit in your home and car. Some of the items it needs to have are sterile gauze pads, band-aids, non-latex gloves different sizes, best to keep all sizes or a couple sets of a larger size. Antibiotic hydrocortisone cream, a breathing barrier for CPR , and a reference card. The card should have emergency numbers burn control, poison control, EMS, family members.

You should build a first aid kit specified for your family needs. The suggestions listed would be best for a smaller kit that you could carry around, if you want a large kit add in a flashlight which extra batteries , a blanket, scissors, thermometer, hot cold pack two different packs, you break and they heat or cool , and elastic wraps. You can put whatever you want in a first-aid kit. Just make sure if you have medications in it you restock it and check it regularly.

Water purification

2011-06-09T20:33:00.000-04:00

Backpackers have many water purification options to choose from now. They can be broadly classified in four categories.

1. Water Filters.
2. Chemical treatments.
3. Boiling the water.
4. No treatment at all.
"safe" natural springs versus contaminated water sources.. I don't really recommend this as a way to obtain good drinking water, but it can't hurt to learn how to find the natural sources that are most likely pure. A filter can clog or your water tablets get lost.
Rainwater collected in clean containers or in plants is usually safe for drinking. This is just something to remember for emergencies, though. Always purify water from lakes, ponds, swamps, springs, or streams. Even deep in the wilderness, most water sources now have Giardia or other unhealthy bacteria and viruses.

Water purification by boiling works fine. Just boil for a minute or two and you are usually okay. The problem is that it is just too much trouble for backpacking. Do you want to stop several times daily to set up your stove and boil enough water to fill your water bottles? Do you want to always need a good fire to do the same, or to carry the extra fuel for that stove? For regular use, there are just two convenient ways to purify water when backpacking. They are water filters and chemical water treatments.

Backpacking for hiking and camping

2011-05-20T08:42:00.000-04:00

Being physically fit makes backpacking safer and more enjoyable. Hiking on trails and in the wood or mountains is a great experience. Your physical conditioning and exercise should prepare your body for backpacking and hiking. You can lose much of what you gain from exercise and getting in shape to backpack if you stop for even a week. Backpacking does require you to be prepared to exert much energy so you need to prepare your body. You should get twenty or thirty minutes of good aerobic exercise every two or three days. Try parking farther from the store, run up and down the stairs any time you walk do it at a faster pace. You need to do leg lifts and sit-ups can strengthen and condition the lower back muscles. Remember you will be carrying a backpack. You should eat a mix of proteins and carbohydrates within forty-five minutes after finishing any heavy work out.

I spend at least one weekend a month backpacking and all of my vacations take me to back country, wilderness and/or exotic locales. And it doesn’t cost me much at all!
The truth is that you can see the world for a lot less than you ever imagined!
You just need a little help and information to get you started.
Maybe you think you can’t afford the equipment?
Maybe you think you have to be in great shape, and you can never imagine getting to that point?
Perhaps you have watched friends go off on their own adventures and come back with beautiful photographs and enough great stories to fill a book? Down sleeping bags take up less space and are easier to carry if you are backpacking. They are easy to clean and you can put them in the dryer on warm air and fluff them back to just like new.
Synthetic or nylon sleeping bags are cheaper to purchase.Nylon sleeping bags take wear and tear well and will stay warm even when they are wet.They are the most popular sleeping bags for the weekend camper.The one thing I noticed when camping with a nylon bag is that they tend to be noisy when sleeping and you role over to change positions.I prefer a bag that has a cotton outer lining they are quiet especially if your sleeping on a cot.
Make sure to inspect your sleeping bag before you buy it.Check to see if you like a sleeping bag that has a zipper on the right or left side.Check the length of the bag to make sure it is long enough a short sleeping bag will be uncomfortable to sleep in.

Make sure to stay hydrated that is most important when you are hiking and backpacking. You need to look for trails that you can hike on instead of the street. Many parks and recreation areas will have hiking trails. The uneven ground is good for strengthen your legs and ankles.

Once you are ready make sure you know the area you are backpacking in. make sure to have a map and compass, a GPS unit is also good to take with you. Take a light hat and gloves in case it gets cold which will only add a couple ounces to your pack weight. Take energy bars and drink plenty of water while backpacking. You should set a schedule to rest and let your muscles recover. You can take a cell phone but keep it turned off to save the batteries.

water proof matches

2010-04-10T00:52:00.000-04:00

If your matches get wet, you can rub the bottom of a can with a rock, shine it up and create a mirror that will intensify the sun’s rays and get a pile of leaves hot enough to catch fire. This technique could be especially helpful if you drained your last can of Coke washing down the cheese puffs that that could have helped start the fire.You can buy water proof matches and keep them with you in the woods.

Wound heavy bleeding

2010-04-07T10:37:00.000-04:00

Major Wound
Apply direct pressure by clamping your hand on the wound, then elevate the injury above the heart to slow blood flow. If bleeding continues for 30 minutes, use clothes to wrap the site in a pressure dressing. “Don’t keep checking to see if it’s working, even if it’s bloody” says Dr. Jeff Gutterman, a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “That’s a classic mistake.” If the bleeding doesn’t stop after another 30 minutes, tie off the wound a few inches above the site. If you get emergency help within several hours you probably won’t lose the limb.
Poisonous Snakes
Every year, 8000 people are bitten by snakes To check if you’ve been bitten by a poisonous snake, look for a pair of deep puncture marks. Swelling will be quick, so remove constricting items such as jewelry. Now, try to stay calm and keep the bite below heart level as you head to the nearest hospital. What about slicing the bite and sucking out the venom? It doesn’t work, and you might slice into something that can’t be easily repaired

Car and truck tents

2010-03-13T12:52:00.000-05:00

Make sure the tent has a floor and it does not have any holes in it. you can keep the floor clean by taking along a old piece of carpet to wipe your shoes on out side the tent opening. Take off your shoes once your inside the tent. Make sure to check the windows of the tent. Any holes need to be repaired so flying insect do not get into the tent. If you have a large family you can buy a wall tent. These cabin tents have a wall inside so you can have some privacy. Remember the larger the tent the more it is going to weigh. A good formula for space is that for every 2 people you will need a 3rd space for their belongings. you need to check with the camp ground also to see if they have any restriction on tent size.

Making a fire

2010-02-16T12:49:00.002-05:00

Keep fires small and you'll spend less time collecting firewood. Just get closer for warmth. If you are also using the fire for possible signaling in an emergency, you can still keep it small, but keep a pile of brushy branches nearby to add if a plane goes by.
Digestion is more difficult at high altitude. This seems to be especially true for fats and proteins. If you are headed above 12,000 feet, you may want to save your crackers and other simple carbohydrates for snacking on top of that mountain.
In hot weather, soak your hat in every stream or water source you pass. A wet hat is like having a little air conditioner on your head. A wet bandana around your neck helps too.

Edged weapons from wood

2010-02-12T16:10:00.002-05:00

You can make expedient edged weapons from wood. Use these only to puncture. Bamboo is the only wood that will hold a suitable edge. To make a knife using wood, first select a straight-grained piece of hardwood that is about 30 centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Fashion the blade about 15 centimeters long. Shave it down to a point. Use only the straight-grained portions of the wood. Do not use the core or pith, as it would make a weak point.
Harden the point by a process known as fire hardening. If a fire is possible, dry the blade portion over the fire slowly until lightly charred. The drier the wood, the harder the point. After lightly charring the blade portion, sharpen it on a coarse stone. If using bamboo and after fashioning the blade, remove any other wood to make the blade thinner from the inside portion of the bamboo. Removal is done this way because bamboo's hardest part is its outer layer. Keep as much of this layer as possible to ensure the hardest blade possible. When charring bamboo over a fire, char only the inside wood; do not char the outside.

Bite Stop Spray Bite Stop Solid

2009-12-04T09:31:00.000-05:00

Bite Stop Solid is a revolutionary concept in Natural Repellents. Two of the chief complaints about natural repellents are that they are not very effective and they don't last very long. Bite Stop Solid conquers both of these concerns. Because its active ingredients are suspended in a solid form (Beeswax), the product does not evaporate quickly and will not 'sweat off' like sprays. In addition we have been able to suspend twice the percentage of active ingredients in the solid than is usually found in natural repellent sprays.

How to treat frost bite

2009-12-02T00:34:00.000-05:00

The first sign of frostbite is that you might lose feelings in the affected part of your body. White patches on the skin are the next obvious symptom. Watch for a white tip of the nose. The skin will appear pale and waxy. The fingers may clack together like pieces of wood in serious frost bite. You should check for frostbite if you are not sure that you can feel some part of your feet, nose or hand especially your fingers.

Home Energy Kit Hot New Energy Product!Economic turmoil, unemployment, global warming, cost of living increases…these are all great reasons to stop wasting money on energy bills and to start thinking about generating your own electricity. Also take into consideration the depletion of all of the resources we now rely on to produce our energy. As these resources disappear so will our money because it will cost more as these resources become more scarce!
Contrary to what the big energy companies want you to believe, this country runs on only 0.2% renewable energy sources which means all of the resources we are using everyday will eventually run out.
Wind and Solar energy are the best possible renewable energy sources and most people don’t know that their entire house could be run on wind and solar energy modules they can make at home themselves! The wind and sun has been around for millions of years and as far as I can see, it will be here for millions more!

How to build a A-Frame Shelter

2009-07-11T17:51:00.002-04:00

The A-frame provides more shelter from rain than a single lean-to. It does require many pieces of wood.
Start by finding a tree with a forked branch that is 3 to 4 feet above the base of the trunk and break away any other branches that may injure you or might hamper the construction of your shelter.
You'll need to find a fallen tree that is about 12 to 15 feet long to act as a ridge pole. Place this tree in to the fork of the support tree so that you form a 30-degree angle between the pole and the ground. In a pinch, you can use a fallen tree that happens to be at a 30 degree angle to the ground or lay a strong ridge pole against a 3 to 4 foot high stump.
As with the lean-to, lay support poles across the ridge pole. This time, you'll be laying them on both sides and at a 60 degree angle to the ground. Support poles need to be long enough to extend above the ridge pole and should be placed about 1 to 1 1/2 feet apart.
Crisscross small branches into the support poles.
Cover the framework with grass, moss, and leaves. Start covering the roof from the bottom and layer the materials. Doing so will prevent rain from coming in to the shelter.
Note that you could make the high part of the shelter higher up off the ground, but you will then need a longer ridge pole to maintain the 30 degree angle. A steeper angle will result in added exposure to rain and wind.

Wilderness tip

2009-06-02T13:49:00.002-04:00

If you do allot of hiking you should keep a few yards of duct tape in your survival kit, and it can be used for a first aid application. It’s not sterile of course, but will hold a gauze pad in place and in a pinch you can close wounds with it. It’s also great for blister prevention.If your out of band aids apply some medicine use the tape instead

choose a sleeping bag

2009-05-11T00:40:00.001-04:00

If your going camping the right sleeping bag makes a big difference.Down sleeping bags are the lightest sleeping bags you can purchase. This type of bag will keep you warm and is the lightest compared to nylon or synthetic sleeping bags. Down sleeping bags take up less space and are easier to carry if you are backpacking. They are easy to clean and you can put them in the dryer on warm air and fluff them back to just like new.

Tent Camping And Enjoying The Outdoors

2009-05-06T15:15:00.002-04:00

I could just give you advice from personal experience, but anybody who's been camping can do that.
The problem is there are no standards for tent camping to tell right from wrong. There's piles of bad information on the Internet today because of this.
I believe good advice needs come from more than one source. So I pulled together 11 people with over 138 years of combined camping experience. Not only this, every piece of key advice is compared to over 46 other reliable sources. If the advice doesn't match from at least three sources, it's thrown out.
From what I've seen, even experienced campers can give out bad tips.
For instance, I threw out one piece of bad advice dealing with bears. One camping expert suggested playing dead if attacked by a bear. I knew this wasn't entirely true, so I checked my other sources. Camping Guide!

Start a survival garden

2009-04-17T12:05:00.001-04:00

Start a survival garden and learn how to can. Our grandparents and great grandparents did it every summer and fall in preparation for winter. They had fresh vegetables all winter long that way! You can find lots of online resources on how to can vegetables and even meat; but I think your best bet would be either taking a class or finding a book on canning. You want as much knowledge as possible to prevent storing a bunch of food only to find it’s gone bad due to a bad seal.

Spearing fish in the wilderness

2009-04-10T01:02:00.003-04:00

If you can see fish in shallow water, you can probably spear the fish with a sharpened stick easier then using a hook and bait especially if you need to eat.You can also keep you hands quietly in the water and grab the fish when it swims by.You can use a pocket also to try and stab the fish keep it under water or tape the knife to a small tree limb to make a spear,anything will work when your hungry.

How to fish in the wilderness

2009-04-08T11:35:00.002-04:00

An important wilderness survival skill is knowing how to fish, which requires basic supplies like a fishing hook and string.You can keep them in a small container in your backpack or pocket.Bait can be found under old piles of wood or brush where worms and bugs hide.You can use a safety pin as a hook if you have one pinned to your clothes or backpack in a emergency.

Clean water system

2009-03-22T10:15:00.001-04:00

I've done a lot of research on different water filters and there's one common problem with most of them. They don't remove pathogenic bacteria and parasites. They also don't last nearly as long as this homemade filter will.
It's main benefits over most commercial filters are:
- you get one of the most effective filters at only a fraction of a regular cost
- unlike most filters it's SELF-sterilizing
- unlike other filter systems it DOESN'T remove beneficial minerals
- removes pathogenic bacteria and parasites to UNDETECTABLE levels
- reduces up to 95% of heavy metals
- works purely on gravity so it's not electricity powered
- unlike ineffective jug filters this one REALLY does protect your health
- it's VERY simple to make and will take you less than 30 minutes to assemble

Lynx critical habitat

2009-03-14T14:28:00.000-04:00

Lynx are listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. In late February, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated 39,000 square miles of forest in six states as critical habitat for the species. That includes 1,836 square miles in Chelan and Okanogan counties — all on federal land in the North Cascades. This critical habitat apparently includes the many valleys and lower elevations in the same swath of land where lynx don't actually live, but which they may need to travel to get to new habitat.

Black Flies insect bites

2009-02-10T16:00:00.000-05:00

These are some of the most irritating of insect bites, because they blackflies not only swarm over you, but crawl and wiggle to get under clothing and at your skin. A head net helps. Unfortunately DEET doesn't work as well to repel blackflies as it does for mosquitoes. You should also seal your cuffs and pant legs tightly.

Survival situation shelter

2009-01-22T01:29:00.000-05:00

When you are in a survival situation and realize that shelter is a high priority, start looking for shelter as soon as possible. Two requisites are--
It must contain material to make the type of shelter you need.
It must be large enough and level enough for you to lie down comfortably.
When you consider these requisites, however, you cannot ignore your situation or your safety. You must also consider whether the site Provides concealment from hostile humanoid or animal observation.
Has escape routes.
Provides protection against wild animals and rocks and dead trees that might fall.
Is free from insects, reptiles, and poisonous plants.
You must also remember the problems that could arise in your environment. For instance
Avoid flash flood areas in foothills.
Avoid avalanche or rockslide areas in mountainous terrain.
Avoid sites near bodies of water that are below the high water mark.

Safe water in the wilds

2009-01-12T00:40:00.001-05:00

If you can find the source of water in the mountains or hills, where it actually bubbles out of the ground, you are usually safe in drinking it. If you are downstream from other animals and humans, it is best to boil water for 10-20 minutes or distill it. As a last case option, 2% iodine solution can be used. Add five drops to a quart of clear water or 10 drops to dirty water.
The fact that natives may assert a water source is pure could indicate they have built up a degree of immunity. To their systems, the water is not tainted (polluted). Even the loneliest wild stream can be infected with Tularemia (commonly called rabbit fever) by wild animals such as muskrats and beavers. Tularemia can also be carried by meadow mice, ground hogs (woodchucks), ground squirrels, tree squirrels, beavers, coyotes, opossums, sheep, and various game birds
Polluted water can be sterilized by adding hot stones to the water in the filter. The water will soon boil becoming sterile and safe drink.

Multi-tool knives

2009-01-06T10:14:00.001-05:00

Multi-tool knives may contain several blades, as well as additional other tools such as wire cutters or pliers. Examples of multi-tools include Leatherman, SOG, Gerber, Wenger and Victorinox (The "Swiss Army knife").
Keep your knife blades sharp and your knife will serve you well when backpacking.A hunting knife is normally a fixed blade used to dress game animals. It is often one with a normal blade, one with a mild curve or a curved and clipped blade. The length can vary and may include what is normally referred to as a “gut hook”.

Dolly Sods Wilderness

Polarized sunglasses

2008-12-22T12:55:00.000-05:00

Polarized sunglasses absorb the reflected glare and pass the useful light to your eyes so you see more fish and structure under the surface. The truth is that I use Ray Ban polarize sunglasses they are expensive but worth the extra cost to me. Make sure you use bands to slide on the sunglasses so you don't loose them over board.
When I first started bass fishing without polarized lenses I could not make out the structure under the water's surface.I started using the Ray Ban sunglasses and I could not believe the difference.When I was wearing the Ray ban polarized sunglasses I could actually see the bass under the water.I could make out the bass swimming near rocks or trees that were under the surface of the water.Read more on polarized sunglasses.

Choosing The Best Fishing Times

2008-12-03T23:33:00.000-05:00

Every fisherman dreams of a bigger catch! Is it possible to know beforehand when you should plan a trip to enjoy some fishing, catch more than usual, and come home feeling 100% satisfied? Based on my own personal research around the best fishing times, I think it is.
When I first started fishing, the best fishing time for me was whatever time happened to suit me. I tried different lures, baits and techniques until I'd spent a small fortune in my quest to improve my fishing catch. When I finally heard about the "Solana Theory"--or fishing by moon phase--like most anglers, I was skeptical.
What I'd read sounded too complicated. All sorts of factors needed to be checked and the determined angler needed to be at the water's edge at exactly the right time, TO THE MINUTE, in order to improve on his average catch. Was I really willing to take my hobby that seriously? Let's just say that curiosity got the better of me.

Hiking and backpacking in the wilderness

2008-11-23T14:09:00.001-05:00

Hiking and backpacking in the wilderness means leaving the safety and predictability of civilization behind. That is part of the adventure, and part of the danger. Here are six hiking and backpacking tips you can use to make it much safer, without taking away from the adventure.
1. Carry a compass, a map, and the knowledge of how to use them. Even if you don't have a good map. any map is better than nothing. People lost in the wilderness have often hiked farther into it because they had no idea in which direction was the nearest road. Practice with the compass near home, and use it before you need it, just to keep in practice.More tips on hiking and backpacking

The first sign of frostbite

2008-11-18T00:58:00.001-05:00

Frostbite is a freezing of the skin and deeper body tissues. There are varying degrees, but the treatment is similar for all of them. In any case, the real degree of the frostbite usually won't be known until after it is treated and the damage can be determined.
The first sign of frostbite may be a loss of feeling in the affected area. White patches on the skin are the next obvious symptom. Watch for a white tip of the nose. The skin will appear pale and waxy. The fingers may even clack together like pieces of wood in serious cases.

Survival in the wilderness

2008-11-14T14:59:00.001-05:00

It is vital for survival in the wilderness that you see the situation for what is really are and not for what you would like it to be. It is advised that you keep all your hope and expectations grounded in reality. When you put yourself into a survival situation with expectations and hopes that are unrealistic you are leaving yourself open for disappointment and failure.
It may take a number of skills to survive in the wilderness, but your most important skill and tool is your attitude. If you believe in yourself, keep your feet firmly grounded in reality and have faith in your skills, your chances of surviving in the wilderness are much greater.
The most important factor in anticipating stress when surviving in the wild is, know yourself as to your strengths and weaknesses.

Keep a backpack ready for tough times

2008-11-04T15:23:00.000-05:00

A Bug Out Bag can get you through those rough times. It's even possible to be comfy during some disasters with the right gear. Let me tell you basically what a Bug Out Bag is.
A Bug Out Bag is a backpack or shoulder bag that you have ready to go at a moment's notice. But this isn't any regular bag. It's packed full of emergency gear to get you through those tough times.
In a well-packed Bug Out Bag you'll find stuff like…
Food
Water
Warm Clothing
Basic Tools
When you have some of the comforts of home, that hurricane doesn't seem so bad. The same goes for earthquakes, tornadoes, riots, war, and anything else nature or man throws at you.
When disaster strikes, you won't have time to pack supplies. You'll have to get out – and move fast! There won't be any time to pack a bag. But there will be time to grab one you already have ready to go.
Select a suitable backpack
Pack your Bug Out Bag to meet your particular needs
Make shelter using basic supplies
Pack tools you may need in the wild (or in the city)
Make your Bug Out Bag the ultimate tool to get you through tough times.

Panning having a survival kit

2008-10-31T13:24:00.001-04:00

Next to planning having a survival kit is probably one of the most important parts to surviving in just about any situation.It is a good idea to put together a couple survival kits. One kit to keep in your pocket at all times and others that can be placed at home, at work, and in your vehicle.
Preparing and carrying a survival kit is an essential part of survival. Even the smallest survival kit, when properly prepared, is invaluable in a survival situation..
Knowing your environment is important when picking the types of items you will need in your survival kit. The amount of gear in your kit will depend on how you will carry the kit. A kit carried in your pocket is going to be a lot smaller than one that is stored in a vehicle. A good pocket survival kit should be about the size of an Altoids mints tin. In fact, my favorite kit is one that I made with an altoids tin.
For the case, you can use anything from a metal Band-Aid box, a first aid case, an altoids tin, an ammunition pouch, or another suitable case. Your case should be:
Waterproof. or Water-repellent (or vacuum sealed in air tight plastic)
