Just watched a video on it and the creator mentioned it was so easy he got a fire going one-handed. Aside from the lighters and what not, this by far seems the best method if you are in a really bad...

Seems the pump drill would be best, however I bet it will be a pain to craft with one arm.

I have a medical condition that every now and then causes temporary partial paralysis in my right arm. However it was more of a question of curiosity, questions tend to get stuck in my head until I...

I've been trying to find methods on how to start a friction fire with one hand, as a "just in case" if I manage to break an arm/hand and get stuck out over night. I can't seem to find anything on...

Rabbits are such a wide spread problem in Texas that they are not ever out of season. As for permits for them, you only need them if you are on designated hunting lands. That is why I need to find a...

Yeah shiftyer1, I use to live near Amarillo and they have crazy cottontail/jackrabbit/prairie dog problems. I am use to just shooting them with my .17 hmr or prairie dog fishing and processing them....

Sounds about right, it was a 110 degree summer so it could have been the heat. However now that you say it, he probably did process it wrong, more than likely cut an internal organ he wasn't suppose...

Lets say you are out in the woods on a trip or survival excercise and you set some simple slipknot rabbit snares. You check all your snares one last time before calling it quits for the day. While...

Impressive! With a little bit of knife whittling you could turn that into an awesome bowl. I just might even put forth the effort to make a few myself >>

Oh and I forgot this link, http://www.youtube.com/user/EatTheWeeds
This guy has over 130 videos, each one about a different plant, and he covers topics of how to identify them and their uses. I am...

The best book I've found in my local book stores is called "Wilderness Survival Handbook: Primitive skill for short-term survival and long term comfort" by Michael Pewtherer. The book is divided into...

Was thinking about the Amish today and was wondering, do you think they would be knowledgeable in Wilderness Survival?
I figure since they live off the land they may know some tips and tricks. Also...

Unfortunately you will have to cook it bones and all, don't worry tho, once cooked the ribs are easy to work around. That is just how it is for the smaller snakes, you need larger snakes if you want...

Wait a sec... *re-reads ricks post several times over*
You'd want me at christmas dinner with rabies >.>

Oh Rick, you are silly.
I use to be a vet-tech and the deer didn't show an obvious signs of rabies. Dehydration, confusion, aggressive behavior, etc...
However after some googling it seems it may...

I'd be too paranoid of the knife sticking and not killing. Don't want some deer running off with it just in case.
Speaking of deer, think I came across a "special' one the other day. Was out walking...

I admit I've used many experimental and even "redneck" ways to get rabbits and prairie dogs out of their holes ie: prairie dog fishing. I've been paid to get rid of them by ranchers because the holes...

Good point, for small game I figured a rabbit stick would be good enough if I had to throw something. The more I think about it the more impractical the skill sounds in any situatiion outside...

Ive been throwing knives for years and can accurately hit a 6 inch target upto 20ft away. However i've never used this skill to hunt small game or saw any use for this skill in survival situations....

No such thing as a truly safe place to live, anywhere you go is subject to natural disaster, crime, or even accidents.
Now to answer your question, I've lived in big cities and I hate them. Mostly...

I call it "survival" trips for lack of a better term, more or less camping without a tent/sleeping bag. Not as extreme as survival situations but it makes for good practice and often I find getting...

Salutations,
I am new to these forums and I am coming to you for advice. I occasionally go on 4-5 day survival trips in nearby woods however come spring I'd like to go on a more extended one, 3...
