Channel Promo

I finally got off my ass and posted a new channel promo on Youtube for Survivology 101.  My editing software is limiting but at least my new camera is good.  Now I really need to learn how to use it and how to properly edit the footage.  In any event, it is posted so enjoy. NM

One Tree Shelter

So, in February 2015, a few of the Brother of Bushcraft (myself included)  gathered at Caleb Musgrave's training grounds in Canada.  We had a blast, learned a lot and cemented our brotherhood.  We also shot a lot of video footage.  Although the sound quality is lacking and some of the framing is off,  I still think that it makes for some good footage.

This video is a one tree shelter that you can build quickly if you find that that you need to take shelter from a storm.  Before you jump on me about "killing the tree", the tree was getting cut down anyway to harvest the resources for Canadian Bushcraft to educate some youngsters about their first nation identity and craft techniques.  We simply capitalized on the opportunity to show an emergency technique that we would otherwise not be practicing.  ENJOY NM

Survival Quarterly Magazine

Some of you may not know this, but I also write for Survival Quarterly Magazine.  Actually I have been a small part of the magazine since it was created and I have an article in every single issue.  The latest issue is Volume 4 issue 3 Crafts for the field part II.  In my article I show you how to haft an axe. Not just hafting but selecting materials,  what to look for and what to avoid when buying old axe heads and new handles.  I cover some of the more controversial topics like glue and wedges in the axe heads.  If you want to learn how to breath new life into a timeless tool this issue is for you. Some of the other topics and writers for this issue are:

Vet Business spotlight

 I just wanted to take a minute to point you towards a very cool gift ideal from a Veteran owned and operated business.  They sell the kind of cool, ordinance based kit that makes you feel ALPHA, even if you can't have a beard.

If your woman just happens to be more Alpha than you or she has a better beard, they have got her covered too.
