Imagine if you go on a simple day hike and a sudden storm breaks. Your trail back to your car is washed out by a flash flood and now you have to hike several miles out of your way across unfamiliar terrain to get back to your vehicle. Also imagine that during this trek, you get turned around and hopelessly lost. Will the meager supplies you took with you be sufficient to help you survive this unexpected emergency? Have you taken sufficient precautions to ensure that you will get out of this alive? Are you prepared for the unexpected?
As a survivalist, I make sure I carry a few items with me whenever I go into the wilderness. Most of the time, I never need them. But emergencies are seldom the result of a single event, but usually a confluence of things going very wrong – a perfect storm of ill fortune. Having these items on hand can make the difference between an uncomfortable few days with great stories to share and dying in the wilderness.
Some new items that have come out this year are easy to carry, inexpensive, and provide the materials you need to make it through should you run into to trouble in the outdoors. Continue Reading

Having served in the Marines, I can tell you all of the weaknesses of the military Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) or as we called them, three lies in one.
First of all, they are heavy. Because they are prepared food that has been hermetically sealed in pouches, you end up carrying all of that water weight with you. At 8 pounds per gallon, this is a heavy proposition. Next, they are bulky.
For prolonged periods in the outdoors where water is plentiful, nothing beats food that has been dehydrated.

My mother recently was getting concerned about the state of the world and met a con man who convinced her she needed his top of the line 72-hour kit. After shelling out too much money, what she got in return was a duffle bag full of junk you wouldn’t survive a rainstorm with, let alone a real emergency that required you to flee your home and head into the wilderness

Great literature is more than just enjoyment; it contains many valuable lessons on life, love, perseverance, and even survival.
