Not a lot of good movies out there showing primitive survival skills. This one coming out this summer looks like it might have some potential. http://www.alpha-themovie.com/

These guys make kits to reload .22LR/Long/Short and .22WMR/WRF/WIN and they make a kit to manufacture #11 percussion caps. They also make dies to resize rimfire cases before reloading. It's also pretty obvious that their primer compoud package can be used to recharge spent centerfire primers...

Currently, the main centerfire metallic cartridge I use in Texas and other locations in North America is a .243 Winchester. It is a death ray on game. It's great in that it's good for everything from varmints to elk, depending upon the bullets that you choose. The recoil is comparatively light...

The REAL paleo diet: Researchers find Stone Age people ate surprisingly large amounts of fish (and likely fought over the best spots to make a catch) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5519611/Researchers-Stone-Age-people-ate-large-amounts-fish.html

The animal in this video was harvested legally on private property in Ohio, USA. This video shows the full spectrum of how to deal with a food animal in a bushcraft environment from being caught live in a snare to cooking. Depending upon where you live, your small game species may vary, but...

This is a video from the Survival Russia channel on YouTube. He is talking about how after the Soviet collapse many people stayed fed with their shotguns. A shotgun is the most common privately owned firearm in Russia, both in Soviet days and today. In Russia, both then and now, before you can...

This video is from the Survival Russia YouTube channel. A some interesting angles here are the use of brass shells that have been in service a long time, some for a very long time. Seating the primers with a spoon was unique. Something interesting and very old school was the use of sawdust for...

He found a stripped predator kill in the snow and scavenged the bones. This is how our early ancestors found some of their food. In the winter, when it doesn't rot quickly, it can make a big difference in the bush sometimes.

Thought I'd share this for anyone who already didn't know about it: https://www.archerylibrary.com/

One of my favorite chefs that I have learned much from in the realm of cooking is a British guy named Gordon Ramsay. Also, as I've mentioned in a previous thread or two, here in the USA we have a bit of a feral pig problem that is getting completely out of control. There are literally millions...

In Williamsburg, Virginia, not far from where the Battle of Yorktown was fought, there is a living history project called 'Colonial Williamsburg' where they recreate life in America during the British Colonial period of the 18th Century. As part of that, they have a gunsmith program started in...

This is very interesting video by the National Film Board of Canada from 1974 that follows three Cree families in the wilderness of northern Quebec, Canada (a wilderness area about the size of Western Europe) that live and work together over a winter's hunting and trapping season. Even in modern...

Here are couple of interesting books that are free: The Practical Guide to Airgun Hunting, 2nd Ed. Volumes 1 & 2 http://www.americanairgunhunter.com/2ndedition_PGAH.html Oh, sorry, didn't catch that error, I fixed the link.

This Australian doesn't seem to need a weapon to bag a local red deer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUiPmHA7Xqg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUiPmHA7Xqg

While casting slugs and buckshot isn't that hard, one of the more tedious things to manufacture yourself is small game and bird shot. On the old American frontier they would use homemade dripshot, which had mixed results as to the quality of the shot, or they would do what the native tribes did...

I was asked to answer a question today I couldn't answer with an absolute yes or no. Are .22 caliber power tool blanks legal to purchase over there without a permit? These are what I am talking about:

Well,I decided to do a Mora project. The Mora blades produced by Frosts are a testament that you can have a first class blade that is mass produced. However, their handles and sheaths are a testament to just how cheaply you can make a handle or a sheath and still have something usable...

When this first happened a few months ago the story was posted here. This lawsuit is probably going to turn into a fight over just how far a liability release form can protect a school like that. IMHO, the instructors were negligent in the situation. ************...

Here is a sheath I recently made for my Camillus manufactured US military Pilot's Survival Knife. The knife has a 5" blade of 1095 steel and a hardness of about Rc58. The original sheath was made out of leather and had a steel backing and tip with rivets. It's not an entirely bad sheath but...
