    Fishing without a rod

    That has been a question I've been asking myself a bit, and after looking on the internet about it, I've found a few answers, but they either require lots of work, a hook, or don't seem really efficient. What's been your best method?

    Wilderness Gardening

    To attach to another thread I made about wilderness wandering or long term living, I've thought on planting seeds-if you were staying put a bit or had land or whatever- and seeing how they'd work out.

    Winter Camp

    It is completed, or set up at least. I'll see how it holds up, it's supposed to rain the next couple of days. I've also established a fire pit for cooking and found an old dishwasher off the tracks and I hollowed it out to become a stove. It is an ideal spot in relation to water sources (ponds...

    Long Fire (Extended warmth for overnight)

    Not my video. I've had pretty good luck with these for cold weather camping. There's a learning curve, and a bit of prep involved so don't wait last minute to rely on this.
