Looking for someone, or a few people that are interested in going off grid for the winter. We'd build a nice shelter, fire pit, etc. I have the skills for this and if you do too that would work great. Trying to get this going asap. If you have a car, I have gas money-but would have to figure...

Anyone interested in Wilderness living and Bushcraft should definitely read and implement the BUSHCRAFT Book by MORS KOCHANSKI. By far the best book on the subject. He also has YouTube videos that are great. He's like the great grandfather of Wilderness Survival. Also check out his 2 kilo kit...

I expect I'll get a bilion poop ratings for this post but I'm living in a place with no running water and a full septic. The nearest quickie mart is a half mile walk away. So I'm struggling with what to do with poot. I'm thinking I'll make some ash with a small camp fire and compost it in the...

I did a couple seasons attempting to pick edible mushrooms on the west coast. It was more fun than profitable. It is addicting though, like a treasure hunt. I have been wanting to head out for it again, probably going to this year in the more northern areas of the west coast, might hit op the...

I live in Tennessee and gonna totally escape everything or try to. I want to be in total seclusion no people no anything. All that matters will be what's right in front of me. I can trap animals and fish and start fires. I was wondering if anyone would recommend which mountains would be best as...

Not sure if this is in the right forum. I've read a few book lately that have me thinking of this quite a bit. If you had to disconnect and disappear, where would you go? Mexico? Canada? If you didn't have a lot of cash- what would you do? Quite a few people say how easy it is to get into...

Hi, First, thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I'll get right to it: I've couchsurfed and vandwelled a hundred times (literally) without problems, but I have reservations about sleeping under the stars. My reservations are mostly about wildlife killing me. I've read up on wilderness...

Cordage is a good thing to have in a survival situation. Any type of wire, rope, string, twine, or line of any type will be useful, but stronger rope is better. It can be used for multiple purposes like lashing things together, building shelter, carrying and moving items, climbing, making a...

In a survival situation, a person has 4 core things that he/she needs to survive. These are Shelter, Water, Fire, and Food. When in a survival situation, remember the Rule of 3: You can survive for 3 Minutes without air (oxygen) or in icy water. You can survive for 3 Hours without shelter in a...

Fire is essential when in a survival situation. It is used to purify and boil water, cook food, as well as other things. There are numerous ways to start a fire when out in the wilderness or in a survival situation. In the absence of lighters and matches, here is a list of various options...

One of the main things you need to worry about when in a survival situation is shelter, especially in cold, damp climates. If you do not have a shelter such as a tent and cannot find a suitable place to use as a shelter from wild animals and the elements, you will need to make one. There are...

Something you need to consider if you are preparing for a SHTF scenario is food. Storing food may seem like a daunting and expensive task, but I found a list by “AZPrepper” which makes things easier for you. He basically came up with a list of $5 food items that you can purchase each week for a...

One thing you need to train your mind to do for a survival situation is to improvise with the things you have available to you. Common, everyday items can be used in a survival situation to provide you with the basics needed to survive. Some examples of things you can use that most everyone may...

Animal Tracking: Because wild creatures usually stay in hiding after a snowstorm, look for tracks about 24 hours later. You can also find tracks in mud or wet sand along beaches, streams, and lakeshores almost any time. Tracks made by members of the dog family are among those most often...

A good tool to have with you in the wilderness when the SHTF is an axe. It is useful for cutting firewood and wood to make things like a shelter. You need to know how to keep your axe in good shape. Before using an axe, whether old or new, you should sharpen its blade. Clamp the head of the...
