IF you manage to catch a fish.. save the entrails to bait traps, and use them to catch

So I was asked to teach another survival class at FAS this year. You may (or may not) remember I taught there last year. The one complaint I received was that there was no portion of the class dedicated to butchering animals. The students believed that they should have been taught how to butcher a rabbit or a chicken or something. This year, we listened, and brought 9 New Zealand Rabbits for the

I have joined the ranks of the fully employed!Although I DID in fact receive my IFSAC Firefighter 1 certification, AND my Washington State IV Tech certification, and was third on the hire list for my Department, I did NOT get a job as a firefighter.I got the permanent position with the DOT as a Transportation Technician, still working in

A couple months ago I was asked to teach a class of "civilians" (Non-SAR, Non-Law Enforcement) a Basic Wilderness Survival Course. Well, this last weekend was it..They were professional, attentive, and all round great people!So much fun! With the recent "awareness" of how fast a natural disaster can happen, they (the people who hosted the event,) are already talking about another class. This

It's been a bit since I posted a pin-up..So, I thought I would go back and take a look at "The Man" who really made pin-ups mainstream.. Mr. Alberto Vargas. What follows is from this website..Vargas was Born February 9, 1896, in Peru, Alberto Vargas was the son of a renowned photographer, Max Vargas, who had taught him how to use an airbrush by the time he was thirteen. In 1 911, while

So awhile back I posted a blog about ammo storage. I just found, and bought, the SWEETEST shelving unit EVER for storing ammo. I bought it at Costco for the grand sum of $63. As if that's not enough, it's 48 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 72 inches tall! It gets better. Each shelf is rated up to 1500 pounds! It has 5 shelves, for a whooping 7500 pounds! That's right! Almost 3 and a half tons!

About a year ago, the wife and I had the gun collection appraised. We took them in to our trusted Gunsmith a few at a time, and he created an appraisal list for the insurance company. This was fine, until we got to this one particular shotgun..Gunsmith: "You interested in selling this?"Me: "I hadn't thought about it. I guess I could part with it. What's it worth and what ya got to trade."At this

A list server that I am a member of has been tossing around ideas on how to store your ammunition. It has been pointed out that any quantities of ammo going off at roughly the same time might act as an explosive if the house were to catch fire. It has also been said that firemen won't go into a structure with lots of ammo, because they don't want to be shot by a bullet that "cooks off".Another
