Loaded up a bag, grabbed a rifle, lots of ammunition. Make haste. Practicing skills, and enjoying the great outdoors. My son getting some learning in and enjoying the outdoors. This was his favorite rifle while we were out. Although the AR will always be in a category of its own. My son...

This is a blog post my friend wrote a few years ago, about her life. Put it trough google translate and try and fix the worst issues. In a relationship with a lifestyle hunter? The lifestyle hunter is a completely different type than a hunter that only goes on a deer hunt or in the fall with a...

My wife and I have been blessed with 4 kids... we recently went camping and thank God my eldest slept in his mil surplus pup tent! We found out quickly that our four person tent from a garage sale isn’t really going to cut it with our family size and, for safety, I’d like to keep everyone in...

So Thursday evening, after our children went to bed, my amazing and wonderful wife decided (unbeknownst to me) that we needed to escape for a day...as a family.... It had been a while since all four of us were on an adventure together. So, she sneaked around the house in the wee hours turning...

Up at 5:20 this morning so I could squeeze in a quick hike. Hit the trail by 6. Made it to my favorite spot by 6:20. Brewed some instant coffee. On 1.5oz of Heet at 32° this little stove ran for 17m 20s. Still, it wasn't enough to bring 8 cups of ~32° water to a boil in a 1.35L pot...

This is a post-collapse statement/question. I know that Katrina was a very good indication of what government "Refugee Camps" for U.S citizens and civilians will look and be like. Very much the same as the "Refugee Camps" we see on BBC and other news networks with war torn areas. Something I was...

Not much went right here...navigation got them lost and they weren't prepared for the weather. Looks like a combination of endurance and luck that caused the miracle. Sheriff's official: Family's rescue near Grand Canyon's North Rim 'a Christmas miracle'

Every year, we try to gather up as much of my family as we can and head to the coast for at least a week’s worth of backpack camping. This is a special place for my family as my Dad has been coming here since he was a little boy, and we’re now four generations deep in this wonderful tradition...

SHARE YOUR FIRE CHALLENGE: This weekend I found new way to enjoy primitive fire making, and that was with my family. I was able to teach my wife the bow drill. After some breif instruction, Corina (my beautiful wife) was able to take a cottonwood spindle and cottonwood hearth and bust out a...

Hello from Kansas City! Thought I'd let you all know I'm here and a new member. Feel free to contact me. Love to learn love to teach.

Hello from two Gingers in Utah!!! Me and my brother were both brought up loving the outdoors. We are both Eagle Scouts and Registered emergency responders for our local area. We both have helped our family and friends prepare for emergencies or helped them with tips for camping and bushcraft...

I have seen several awesome posts of family pics detailing their adventures with their little buddies in the woods, but as far I know, there is not a thread dedicated to family bushcraft, (parent/child trips). As parent of three small ones, I would love to see pics , suggestions, training...

I recently purchased a FA138 First Aid - Tactical Trauma Kit #3 (long name) for the family. Having a family of 6 I felt the need to be able to handle most, if not ALL, the medical emergencies we may encounter during our adventures. The bag is only 9lbs. so we have assigned it to our littlest...

Getting out in the woods, camping, hunting, and fishing has given me many memories with my family and son. I'm of the opinion that if you hunt WITH your kids you likely won't have hunt FOR them when they're older. That being said bushcrafting provides year round opportunities to enjoy nature and...

I've been trying to get more of my friends and family into bushcraft and outdoor activities. So I loaned my cousin some of my extra gear and got my him out kayaking and camping at Lake Lopez this last weekend. We did about 10 miles of paddling, even with heavier winds hitting well over 20MPH...

Not being sexist or "a guy", because statistically men are more prone to be the ones to get lost in the wilderness, and more on average are the ones interested in wilderness skills (though we seem to have an almost even number of male and female students on our courses), it is really nice to see...
