.17HMR My Vote for the Ultimate Caliber
I went to the Sebastian Shooting Range Sunday, and only took a 9mm pistol, and a 17HMR Henry lever action rifle to shoot. I’d fired the pistol many times before, but never had the opportunity to do much shooting with the Henry. I very happy I took the time today to test it out. I […]
My off The Grid Coffee Options
James over a SurvivalPunk wrote up his method for off the grid coffee, and while his works fine, I decided I wanted to express my method too. (He does seem to bring out the competitor in me, and I’m thankful for his prodding and motivation. Thanks Bro!) I could purchase a 12v coffee maker to […]
Product Review: Jar-Z Custom Koozies for Mason Jars
I was hanging out with SB over the summer when I had a great idea for a product -an insulated Mason jar holder! I drink from Mason jars all the time, only here in Florida, condensation is ridiculous. An insulated jar cover would be great for a FloridaHillbilly. This was a genius idea! Only someone […]
Natural Headache Treatment
As I sat down to write out this post, I had a splitting headache. I walked in to the kitchen to find something for the pain, and recalled an old friend of mine that I keep in the fridge for just such an occasion. It’s never failed me before,and always takes the pain away. As […]
Review of Cascadian Farm’s New Berry Granola
Yes, I fell off of the Paleo wagon. It’s been a year in November that I’ve note eaten any grains, legumes, or refined sugars, within reason. Each of those items are in so many food products that finding “Paleo-approved” items is difficult. Larabars were one of them and were kind enough to provide samples for […]
Product Review: Hi Mountain Buckboard Bacon Cure
Note: This product was purchased by me personally. No payment (or even contact) was made by the company, other than to state my order was received and the tracking info on the shipment. This is an unbiased, unpaid opinion. MY opinion. A while back, I purchased some cure kits from Hi Mountain, based on advice […]
Product Review: Ozark Trail Camp Cot
My good friend SB refuses to camp, mostly due to his belief that sleeping on the sucks. To be honest, I mostly agree, it DOES suck to sleep on the ground….so I don’t anymore. There are several alternatives available: foam pads, air mattresses, sling chairs, hammocks, and cots.
Mora Knives: A Local Trend, or Just Good Knives?
I worked with Hank at Green Earth Survival School over the weekend, along with Amanda from the Oxbow Eco Center, and also had my young friend Zach helping out. This was the basic wilderness survival class directed towards Scouting groups. At one point, I was trying to film Hank as he explained how to
Gear Review: Hotsnapz Reusable Heat Pads
I live in Florida, the southern half, way down south where bananas grow. But even here, we almost get frost. And when the temps dip into the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, water temps drop FAST. Since I get into swimming pools for my work, I have had to face getting into water that was in […]
