yea .22 mag rocks. Probably the best utilitarian hunting round ever made. .22 lr is cheap sure but I don't have much use for one, never really did, I grew up with shotguns unlike many who grew up on...
Itīs the same at my bush place...we donīt have a generator, though the wife and I have been talking about getting one from time to time but in a way I donīt even really want one. Itīs just another...
Yea I much prefer fresh hides for furs and buckskins...usually Iīve been buying salted hides and often itīs hit and miss whether it will make a good fur...which I donīt like but thatīs how it...
Here is a bird trap I built that has fed me and the wife on dove meat out bush. I have experimented with birds traps and bird nets over the years and finally made one that works consistently...I use...
Where I grew up I had an H&R Break open 16 gauge shotgun as my only gun for much of my childhood and teen years. It was my grandfathers handed down to me. It was a heavy bastard but it worked and I...

I'm talking about OZ mate, which is as big as the continental US, not Nevada lol...that's where my bush place is...in the outback.....Colombia is in South America and there ain't no coups down...
Yep, better move on...for me I had to leave the continent entirely to find the kind of land I was looking for....Land use issues are a major reason why I chose to leave N. America in the first place...
7527I agree making your own from your own tanned buckskin is the way to go, but yea a buckskin sole won't last long and will require constant repairs/re-soling unless you use a bark-tanned or more...
I have taken a few trips to the Ecuadorian Amazon and it's not a place I would want to live. Full of crazy diseases and some of the hardest bush to "walk" through due to the immense...
Sands of the Kalahari (1965)...My favorite movie hands down...mostly about a plane crash and the drama of the survivors and living off the land in the Kalahari...when I had a laptop out bush I used...
Rendering tallow...what I do is cut it up into small chunks , simmer on a big fry pan on a low fire and pour off the liquid through a cloth once the chunks are down to cracklins...not hard to do. I...
Are you kidding? Maybe in Vic...but in central OZ there are tons of tasty wild edibles (and lots more in other areas of OZ from what I've heard) that me, my wife and my in-laws use as a regular food...
I have brain-tanned several goat buckskins and also done several brain-tan furs. I'd be wary of chemical tans personally...only chemical I have used in tanning is hydrated lime for buckskins in order...
In OZ it's just labeled "brown vinegar" but I think another name for it is "Malt vinegar"

Smoked biltong is the sh*t...course I don't use coriander or the trad. biltong recipe..keep it simple vinegar/salt/pepper thats it.
I make tons of my own version of smoked biltong from wild game down under...It's similar to jerky except it's more practical for hot temps...I marinate the thinly sliced meat in brown vinegar and the...
Axe all the way...Usually always have a hatchet out bush, but a full size axe is more versatile. In the outback a machete is near useless...It's not strong enough to deal with the hardwoods out in...
