Some nice replies here, but a bit of basic knowledge that has been ignored. That is probably my fault for my vague question (I didn't want anyone choosing not to give an answer fearing it was off...

Blackberries also work well due to the high levels of antioxidants which help prevent further growth and spread of tumorous growths.

Mushrooms are a food of opportunity. If you do nothing but attempt to forage for mushrooms you will deplete your energy reserves quickly. However as an addition to a survivalist food supply they help...

I am thinking a snare rope would be the easiest way to go about it, but I don't know. Most people aren't keen on foot or choke snares, so I'm still thinking about how to do it. I've seen what a...

Thins strips make for the best trail food too. You can chew on the thins strips to sate hunger between meals. I like venison strips for that reason, that meaty gamey flavour keeps you feeling full...

I'm looking for a technique to trap or snare a deer in a situation that it could be quickly and effectively be killed with a knife. Due to the trouble of owning a rifle (Or even a bow) over here it's...

We get slimy mackerel where I live, been told there not the best eatin'. But with that recipe the south end of a north bound cow sounds like decent feed.

Something I already knew through a painful experience. I used to make little model swords by hammering out 8Cm nails and filing them to a edge and adding details like a staple crossbar (They also...

She has to have at least been give tree fiddy.

With a fist full of dollars and a pocket full of dreams?

I love the idea of completing the entire sport from start to finish. One day when we were camping we decided to make a rod, line, hook, sinker and catch our own bait and see if we could bring...

Providing you do not denature it (Heat in excess of 60*C, PH change, Smoking, Salting, Press drying ect.) it is still a viable form although possibly less potent. I could quite easily see a survival...

We don't live near any good trouting location (Ocean fishing for us) but I watched a bloke tieing a fly by hand one day, I've got the utmost respect for anyone who has the patience to hand tie a lure...

Admittedly I would take being stuck somewhere I don't know as opposed to being stuck in this country in any serious survival situation, but it's a beautiful country and if you don't mind the heat...

G'day Fred, good to see another newbie on board. The new year brings out the adventurous side in us all. Hope to see you around.

More often than we would like. I had a female funnelweb in the laundry yesterday, she had her legs up in the strike pose so I killed it, not worth her getting near the dogs if I let her go.

That's...

Yep, I think it reached 54*C in some parts, that is unheard of. First time since the beginning of recorded temps in Australia. We hit 43*C and I am on the coast. But it's not the first change, last...

That sounds dangerous and unwieldy. It also sounds that it may complain that you are doing it wrong and make "machoman" comments.

Over here in AUS we aren't dealing with anything that warrants a...

Haha I see what you did there.

I thought he was the worst guy in the world for a while after that, but you move on and live and learn. Just don't ask me to tie a knot, the thing won't budge but...

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, feel free to move it, i am still getting used to the layout of the board.

So blade asked me a question and I think it was a pretty fair one. I'm not sure how things are done in the rest of the world so don't look down on me too much if I speak the bleeding obvious.

I...

G'day Blade. I'll chuck up a new thread about it shortly.

Haha I'm a fan of big knives, as silly as it is (Keep a small pocket knife on me for fine work), my misses is in my AV she is just street...

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I already feel at home.



From what I was reading it helps mitigate the effects of the venom by slowing the release (Possibly increasing the time effected by...

G'day everyone. My names Daniel, here from the eastern seaboard of Australia. Been fascinated with bushcraft and survival for as long as I can remember.

Summer here at the moment and yesterday...
