Nature always wins in the long run, and whenever she decides. We can't stop water, wind, earth, fire, freezes... all the forces that have shaped our planet for 4.5 billion years... we can only hope...

This quake/ tsunami is a sharp reminder of why we Prep, and why we live in places that are reinforced, above flood lines, keep our affairs in order and learn new skills constantly, store water and...
Great tree bark photos. Are those Live Oaks? Nice shots of the Spanish Moss, too. Nice. Lots of Live Oaks and Spanish Moss around Savannah, GA... on the Squares and all along the streets.
Hello Anthony, Northwest GA here, north of the no-see-um line (aka I-20).
I like old Airstreams too, but for practicality, I am thinking about converting one of those better-made Utility trailers with the V fronts and side door. They are higher, can have the heavier duty...
I live between WalMarts... one to the east and the one to the south and the one to the north sell ammunition only, the one to the west (further from the city) sells both ammunition and long guns.
OK, I stand corrected, and learned some stuff too. Note to self, look at my fish a little more closely!
My packs have evolved from "hiking/ camping" packs to "Get-Home Packs/Get Out of Dodge" packs. Many things are the same, and they can still be used for hiking and camping and I go on these "training...
Yep, good stuff. After watching several other "Survival" type shows and scenarios, I learned to appreciate Les Stroud and the way he does his thing more and more. Not saying that all of the others...
Yes, it has been said on here. Warm waters (like in the heat of summer) make some species wormy. I have only seen it in bass. I don't know if they live in the flesh or migrate there after death, so...
Herb-Crusted Marinaded Pork Loin grilled indirectly over Kingsford Charcoal. It is marinading now. Estimated time for grill light off is 16:00.
Might grill some veggies over the direct portion of...
Wow... 275 bucks for that BHK knife will buy 5 KaBars! At least 4. I thought my affinity for KaBar was a bad habit, but this makes it look like an economical alternative!
I'm with you on the Wilderness Property. I love some of the more remote Tennessee locations, a ways away from all of the various dams but still with a spring or stream. Lots of rain in TN, and a mild...
Yep, this tool looks like a great combo... can be used as a machette in thick growth and can be used as an axe in the woodlands, since it looks thicker than a normal machette. In a pinch it can be...
Agreed, we split with other primates something like 100,000 years ago because we were smarter (in theory) and could use tools better... to better take care of ourselves. Other primates don't know...
OK, I just watched the 4 episode rerun of this show yesterday. In Laos, Cody was constantly getting his feet injured. In the Peru desert, Cody put on a pair of flip flops because he was hobbling...
I carry the folding Corona like shown above. Got it at Lowes... it is a pruning saw. Tough and pretty inexpensive, and I like a folder because I can just stuff it in the outside pocket of the Alice...
Nice... is that an 8 foot camper in a 6 foot bed? I've been looking for a nice truck camper to fit a 6 foot bed, too. Looks like you have a nice compact layout. Is that a head or is it a closet on...
Wow, those Coleman two burner stoves are the same as when my Dad had one in 1965. Built like a tank and makes a tree stump into a kitchen. Good designs last.
Over the last few years, many standard white wood pallets were replaced with the blue, rented/ leased, returnable "Chep" pallets. If these are not returned, teh store gets charged a hefty fee. I...
Kentucky has a gazillion caves. Limestone and Karst (porous limestone). Generally, there is some water to deal with, but that could be an asset if it is directed properly... and comes from a clean...
I can see a bootstrap industry popping up at airports... fluffing while waiting in the security line. Portable fluffing booths, right before going into the body scanner. This could help the...
Keep in mind that there are a lot of numbers that were not released... like the strength of these devices (kiloton or megaton) and where/how deployed, mobility, accuracy, and range. Newer warheads...
Well, let's see. Things have been growing here in the south for about 6 weeks, starting with the onions and lettuce. Squash popped up about 3 weeks ago and are in full leaf. Tomato plants are going...
So, I'm guessing that finding a python in your toilet at the Hampton Inn would probably qualify you for the "no questions, no excuses refund". I stay at Hampton Inns all the time (on business).
