I have read several news articles lately where people were stranded in the woods for 60+ days, some found alive some not. My first observation was no one was looking for them in  these areas becasue they never told anyone where they were going to be. In Hunter Education classes we teach the youth to not hunt alone (regardless of age), to tell other people where you will be at and when you plan to return. We use the phrase "Plan Your Hunt and Hunt Your Plan".  T alking with Search & escue presonnel, the majority of people that make plans and get lost are usually found in the first 24 hours. Just something to think about.

Just saw this group on here and as it alligns with my interest in bushcraft and the outdoors then I thought I'd join up.
I have a blog on the subject at http://woodcrafterslog.blogspot.com/ and I've written about survival kits and techniques there.

I must apologize that I have not updated this group, as I am now on the road most of the time with limited internet access. Please feel free to add content to your hearts content.

I was reading a "survival tip" to include a hot melt glue stick in your pack. Supposedly you can use a any heat source like a wooden match or lighter to melt the glue stick to make repairs. If it sticks as well to other materials as it does my fingers it may just work. Anyone have any experience with this?

DH, yeah i love to watch those shows. There are several out there. You learn some things and it's entertaining watching someone else do that stuff from the comfort of your own home!

My brother was telling me about that episode yesterday. At first, I didn't believe him. Now I know better.

5 fascinating reasons cockroaches will outlive us all

Ah, cockroaches. The scummy, skittering, pesky little pests that somehow manage to vanish whenever you flick on the bathroom light. Like Mother Nature's little Batmans. Part of what makes them so hard to control is their resiliency, which is something of a biological marvel. Here are five reasons the humble roach will outlive us all:1.
