Just a suggestion, but you may want to consider using the search option to find answers to a lot of questions you might have, as a few people may have asked the same questions and have pages of...
The most fun way I know of would be to find out where he is coming in, and borrow a .22 from a neighbor. Set up on top of the hen boxes, if they're sturdy enough, or make a blind inside the coop so...
Don't forget the cheaper things you can get that are readily made into weapons, like a good machete or hatchet you can get at a good hardware store. Since you make flint arrowheads, you might want to...
You can google deer hunting with a slingshot and find a guy who sells big-time heavy hitting slingshots. I wanted one, but never got it. Seems like it would be useful to have a small, light, quiet...
Plantain and meadowsweet make good soaps...
I keep a small knife or two in my pocket, a medium length blade attached to my pocket or on my belt, and anything bigger depends on the situation. I do pretty well with a 5" fixed blade, or even my...
This is for all those Marine-hating jokes........
I flew a plane when I was 8. (old 'hold the stick' thing, but I still flew it)
I hate how bad cartoons have gotten and people wonder what happened to kids today.
I love to hunt, even though I...
What kind of knife, tracker? Do you have a few set aside for throwing, or would you throw your main blade just for a meal?
I walk off trails all the time. It's not a difficult thing to learn to back trail yourself, it just takes time to learn.
Question: in my included gear list I have a canteen, but it is...
If you really want both together, I would suggest getting a good knife with a lanyard hole and a mini LED light and just tie them together using paracord or something. That way if you need them...
My priorities are shelter, water, fire, and food. Anything else that needs to be done can be taken care of in between or while looking for things pertaining to my main focus points. For example, I...
Very good post.
As far as learning plants, there are almost always a few in a given area that are readily recognizable and safe to eat.
Here where I live, there are plenty of pine, oak, and...
Here in this area:
The water in lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, etc. isn't safe to drink without treatment. Don't do it.
If there's a 30% chance of rain, it will. Unless it's summer.
Yes,...
I have the Cold Steel kukri machete, and I have to say, it is an extremely good blade for the money. The handle is molded, and the sheath is very durable, although I have to say I would like a more...
Personally, I carry a gun and a few knives for different reasons. The knives I carry because I rarely go a few hours without needing one for something, so I try to always have at least one on me. The...
Right now I'm wearing bootcut jeans with a solid leather 1 1/4" belt, a t-shirt under a long-sleeve camo shirt, a grey hoodie, boot socks, my Rocky boots, and my felt Charlie Horse Ghost Town hat.

A really good throwing stick can be made with the base of an Ash, ironwood, oak, or hickory sapling with the rootball still on, and the bark scraped off and sanded for a smooth release.
This is my answer to the original question, nothing else.
I think you would be perfectly suited to a full-sized (4"-5" barrel) pistol in .45ACP.
First of all, find one legal to carry and own...
In all actuality, a .22 is more effective at anchoring small game, but you will definitely find .177 pellets a lot more easily in any situation.
The up side is that; if you decide to use an...
The way I figure is anything that can be made into a soft tinder bundle will make good woods TP (like the inner bark of cedar), other than that, nontoxic leaves always work fine...
Anyway, back to the original question....
The absolute best source I have found for snaring and trapping is www.buckshotscamp.com
he details almost every aspect of snaring and trapping in a...
Hey, U.S. Marine, I was a 2111 as well. With Second Amphibious Assault BN, Camp Lejeune. Who were you with, if I may ask?
The FiveseveN is made by FN-Herstal. It is a 5.7X28mm round, and the pistol starts around $1,000. Thus, alas, I don't have one.....
