    Which knots are useful or rarely used?

    I'm trying to learn as much as I can before heading out. I'd really appreciate any advice because I can imagine things ending poorly if I mess these up. These are the ones I've tried out so far.

    Some spots in Michigan

    Started traveling south from Grand Rapids Michigan after a little break we took there. Here's a couple places we've found to sleep on the way. Kalamazoo, off 131 Oshtemo Park. Public restrooms and decently wooded, it being behind the fore dept and police station spooked us a little but it's...

    The Natural Life

    Considering options... I just want to be free, live in the woods, off the land. Is that too much to ask? I’m so sick of the “modern world.” I’d love a little cabin in the woods, off grid. I want to hunt and fish, forage, and have a garden. I want a simple, natural lifestyle. Currently, my...

    New Mexico Bliss in the Gila Wilderness
