Survival situations can happen when you least expect it, or in places where such a thing doesn’t make sense. Like when you take off for your evening run or decide to take a quick walk.

There is more to harvest from a big game animal than just the meat. With a little thought and ingenuity, you can find useful projects that will use most parts of the animal!

“The day may have gone to hell, but if you think there’s a hot meal coming, that may be the high point. It gives you something familiar in a really bad situation.”

BEWARE! If you don’t know how to use the materials in the (wilderness survival) kit, and don’t practice with them, you may develop a false sense of confidence. This attitude could get you in a lot more trouble!

An Altoids tin survival kit is by no means all you should carry for survival!!! But you need to have something in your pockets, in the event you are separated from your gear, or are in an area where carrying your complete setup is impractical.

Jerky is the original high energy snack food, and maybe you’re thinking about making your own. Regardless of your motivation, preppers, survivalists and folks looking for a way to preserve meat for long term storage should learn how to make jerky.

What should you carry in the hollow handle of a survival knife? Specifically, what survival items are so important that they should be included as part of the knife?

The earthquakes that have happened this year should have been a wakeup call to anyone who lives in an quake zone. You need to make a personal earthquake survival kit to carry with you at all times.

You stake your life on your firemaking kit components. My recommendation is to substitute cotton balls in any application you might be using dryer lint.

The most common reaction at the onset of an emergency is disbelief and denial.
Most people won’t know what to do, and a large percentage will do the wrong things!
