The reunion show didn't reveal much that I haven't uncovered from various radio shows I've hosted with the majority of the cast. The one thing I did find revealing was the portion of the episode dedicated to Mary Kate and her visit to the hospital. From that segment alone it became very safe to say that many people misjudged her injury's severity as it was actually much more severe than the episode let on. </div>

<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<b> </b><u><b>Desmond</b></u>- This was vastly different than
anything I've ever experienced in my life. “I did talk a lot of
smack about the bears but that's just my upbringing.” Every place
he went had bear scat and while he was gathering firewood a bear
came out of the woods and bluff charged him and he decided to run
out of the woods and call for help. He admits he was no where near
prepared for large predators and wish he had spent more time around
them to prepare.

<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<u><b>Tracy</b></u>- Hears the snapping of twigs beside her and deep
breathing so escalates force from sound to flame. Says it broke her
heart when she saw that the mamma bear was simply protecting her cub
and that feeling of remorse for being so aggressive made her decide
it was time to tap out. She also says that she feels lucky to be
alive since being between a mother and a cub is one of the most
dangerous situations you can be in out in the woods.

<u><b>Staying Busy To Not Go Crazy:</b></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Mike</b></u>- His mind must stay
busy. Drying rack, elevated kitchen fire, hands free water faucet,
bowling, dice football game, boat, table, elevated bed,. Only saw
about half the things he built on TV. Once he got to the end of the
project list it was time to go home as he didn't have anything left
to do but miss his wife.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Justin</b></u>- Built a gym to
use daily and had the day 22 trek up the mountain to raise awareness
for suicide awareness. Idea of the Mountain climb came to him on day
12 while he was out there. I personally think this was the biggest
project undertaken just because of the sheer physical toll,
calories burnt and time required that late into the show.

<u><b>Mood Swings:</b></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Larry</b></u>- He really felt
truly alone and when the camera was on he just decided to open up to
it. Says he really didn't think to self edit like he probably should
have. Thinks most of his mood swings were related to a lack of
sunlight and also a complete lack of food because once he got a
little food his mood improved greatly. Got a huge tattoo on his back
of the island surrounded by things that meant the most to him while
he was out there including: Pathfinder Bush Pot, L.T. Wright
Genesis, Axe, boat, Fish, buck saw, mouse, mushrooms, ferro rod,
limpets and his bush spear.

<u><b>Nicole's Variety of Food Intake:</b></u>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ate 25 different plants while out
there and also used another 10+ plants for medicinal use. She
assumed that all of the other participants were eating like she was
and it didn't even cross her mind that others would be struggling
with food.

Says she it took quite awhile for the
boat to get to her and that she ended up severing the tendon in her
hand but didn't damage the bone. The movement of her left thumb is
still impaired to this day as she can't move it up and down and her
grip is still quite week.

<u><b>Season 3 Sneak Peak</b></u>:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Next season in Patagonia looks to be
quite an interesting experience for the participants from Puma's to
fresh water fishing to deadly reptiles to snow covered mountains to
desserts to woodlands. It seems like next year will be able to bring
several new skills to the forefront as the ecosystem alone is just
so different and allows for a wider variety skills to be utilized.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the new season and wish I was able to
take part in it.... oh well there is always Season 4 one can hold out
hope.

I know I have been absent from the blog for a couple weeks and needed to catch up on the weekly show thoughts and comments. So in the four weeks I have been absent we went from four participants down to a single winner. This years final four were out longer than last years winner, Allan Kay, but you need to keep in mind that last year the participants started several weeks later limiting their long-term food options to what they could bring in from the ocean. Shelters this season were much more substantial, there was a limited amount of storing meat for long-term consumption and trapping seemed to be at a higher level this year. Yet with the added time and more opportunities for food it seemed that some of the participants were always hungry whereas Alan always had a pot full of food every night, granted it was limpets, bull kelp and seaweed. I still can't figure out where the wolf on the beach footage came from as it wasn't shown in any episode and I've been looking forward to that the entire season. Overall this was a great season and I'm glad Nicole made it as long as she did, we got to see all of the projects Mike and Jose came up with and a hike up a mountain to raise awareness for Military suicide prevention.<br />

on cordage to make a crab line for drag based fishing. Extremely
successful as it looks like he caught one in his very fist cast.
Ended up catching 6 Dungeness crabs with his simple fishing setup! I can't say I've ever tried this fishing method as I haven't done much coastal survival, but wow I really need to give it a shot.</span></span></div>

little things getting him excited... the idea of bull kelp creating a
good bowel movement makes him happy even though he he hates just
pooping in the woods. Weird the things that trigger memories, this statement took me back to an old Dave Canterbury YouTube video where he talked about hygiene in the woods and described pooping in the woods like a dog.... laughed about the way he described it for days. </span></span>

a new mouse close to his camp, so its time for him to go to war with

him dinner! He ended up setting a Paiute dead fall for killing the
mouse, the trap looks pretty good for it being his first ever set of

the mouse in his dead fall right as he is getting into be, but the

seeing it in a hole and stabs at him with his spear and ends up
stepping on him and fishing him off with a mafia style bow tie. </span></span>

This week on ALONE no one goes home, one participant has more food than they can handle and one had hardly any food to sustain themselves. Justin makes his trek up the mountain for veteran suicide awareness, David can't catch a break when it comes to his gill nets and Jose is getting extremely close to a maiden voyage with his canoe. </div>

<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-His folding hand saw dwarfs my Bacho Laplander, he is at least
having fun joking about using a light saber for cutting his wood.
Seems like the lack of food and being alone are really wearing him
down.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Still no fish caught in either of his gill nets, but both are
side-by-side I would probably move one of them to a new location.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-He is getting a ton of seaweed in his net, that would make for a
great meal while waiting for dinner</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-He is getting a ton of lumber (1000 lbs + cedar logs floating into
his bay which could be disastrous for his gill net, but on the plus
side he could have one heck of a log cabin if they keep coming in!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<b><u>Day
23</u> </b>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Both of his gill nets have been
destroyed by the heavy surf, hopefully he is able to get them
untangled and back in serviceable working order. The net has a ton of
holes but he is doing a great job fixing them. Says that all of his
gill net skills came from watching season one.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Losing weight very fast. Says a normal
family throws out more food in a week than the total amount he has
ate while being there.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Setting out his gill net that he just
repaired in the same exact spot that he has had 0 luck with. I think
I would probably change locations up a little bit if there was any
other options, preferably close to a stream.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Day 24</b></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Another day and another gill net
disappointment and this time it was knocked down by yet another ceder
log, if it were not for bad luck David wouldn't have any when it
comes to gill nets!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Really starting to miss his kids,
doing this because he wants to help his kids in some way he hasn't
been able to do in the past.

-Has a bald eagle near his camp, I have only had a the opportunity to
see a handful of bald eagles in the wild and what a sight they truly
are!</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Boat build is working out really well, but it seems the tarp is the
weakest part of the entire build which if he steps on anything but
the frame on his boat he will run the risk of sinking all of his hard
work.

needle from the bone. He has excellent craft skills, would love for
my wood crafting skills to be at that level one day!</div>

22 veteran suicides which occurs daily in the US.
</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Takes a nasty spill backwards and ends up flat on his back in the
weeds, possibly injured his knee and leg may have a torn ligament.
</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Near the summit his knee is really starting to hurt so the
likelihood of injury is pretty high.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Ended up climbing 1300 feet to the summit for the cause of veteran
suicide awareness after surviving alone with minimal gear and food
for 22 days. Says that for anyone out there struggling you can make
that climb, just don't give up!</div>

-Plans to take his entire shelter apart and move it somewhere else
where there isn't going to be standing ground water seeping into his
shelter.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Decided not to hang it up post mountain climb and feels recharged.
Looks like he has one heck of a walk to carry his shelter materials.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

about having flat ground inside his shelter.

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Like always she has bears in the stream near her gilll net, I'm
surprised that it took that long for one to go in on her net that
close. Now the bear is headed her way and he looks like a very large
male bear.
</div>

-Has a huge salmon in her gill net and
looks like she will have food for a week or more!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Trying to balance out her diet by
foraging for edibles and medicinal plants. Her plant knowledge is
amazing compared to many of the previous participants, what a huge
advantage in that environment!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-I think she literally just jumped out
of her skin when she heard that salmon jump.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Has a chance to do a little hand
fishing on several very large salmon, I'm sure she had a great reason
for leaving them there, but if I'm thinking long term self reliance
both of those targets of opportunity would be on the smoker and ready
and waiting for the day I'm low on food and hungry</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Good score on yarrow, its one of my
most used wild medicinal and I always carry at least a small amount
of it dried in my pack with me at all times.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Another good score with plantain (<a href="http://priorproperplanningpppp.blogspot.com/2016/02/wild-ediblemedicinal-plantago-major-ie.html">seemy article here</a>), it will help balance your diet out there so well.
Her wild edible and medicinal knowledge is really paying off it
appears.</div>

<u><b>Day 25</b></u></div>

-Breakfast of champions of salmon and goes to check her gill net and
finds another huge salmon</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-I would really really really smoke that fish and preserve it but she
is letting it go much like she did with the others she walked by two
days ago. When winter comes and there are much less fish available I
think she may regret the decisions of this past week.

This week on ALONE we go from seven participants to five participants by the end of the episode. This year we have had a ton of great projects taking place on the show and two individuals responsible for quite a few of those projects will be leaving the challenge. Lots of good things were going on this week including preparation for a trek up a mountain, canoe building, net making, flooded shelters, game playing (dice football and bowling) and much more.<br />

<u><b>Day 19</b></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-He hasn't ate for four days, putting on socks
is now taking 20 minutes. I guess there isn't a whole lot of seaweed, limpets or other edibles in his close proximity.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-He says he is cold, hungry and alone.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Hasn't been able to fish for over a
week because his fishing area on the peninsula is under high tide and the tide has been really beating on his rocky coast line. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-"You might swagger into the bush but you
will stagger out" heck of a quote and if you spend enough time in the woods you will see its true more and more. </div>

<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Day 20-</b></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Limpets are about the only food he has
had for the last week. A little contradiction to the day 19 statement of no food but it is what I expected that he most likely was eating seaweed and limpets.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Gill net is looking huge and extremely
nice, hopefully it works well for you going forward. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-I was surprised that he put the DIY gill net next to his
commercial net and baited them with a bottle of crushed mussels. I thought he might have spread out his nets to give himself a greater chance of catching fish from a variety of locations. <br />
</div>

<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Day 19</b></u></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Reached a low point when his sleeping bag got soaked and he now has
standing water (1"-2") in his shelter. I thought he was utilizing some kind of raised bed within his shelter but I guess it wasn't elevated enough or wooden platform based. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-He plans to try to dry the bag out in his cooking camp with fire and by
laying in it. Body heat will take awhile I might have tried to throw the sleeping bag over a tripod and smoking the bag with minimal fire. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<u><b>Day
20</b></u></div>

-Nice family of okras shown off shore near his location, one of the
things I miss seeing in Alaska the most!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-His gill net has only produced one fish so he has decided to re
purpose his net as a hammock once again and set it up within his
current shelter which still has standing water (3"-4") in it. Might want to make a drainage ditch out of his shelter or something to that effect to help prevent the mold that is sure to occur in the near future. </div>

<b><u>Day 21</u></b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Goal is to climb mountain tomorrow in honor of the 22 service members
who commit suicide each day, epic goal but I'm not sure it will help him stay on the show long-term. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Says it takes forever to boil water in his frying pan whereas Nicole
said her large pan boils as quick as she sets it on the fire (I believe hers is cast iron). Shows what a difference field testing your gear makes before using it for long-term self reliance.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-His pan flipped over as he is boiling it and he lost most of his
water for the trip. That's what I hate about using frying pans to boil water and prefer a bush pot or simple cup. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<u><b>Day 22</b></u></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-He has about 4-6” of water in his shelter and is ready to set out on his journey up the mountain. When he gets back he is really going to need to do something about shelter going forward if he decides to stay post his mountain trek. </div>

<u><b>Day 19</b></u></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-His new shelter/living area is mouse free and is able to wake up whenever he wants, has
plenty of resources including a fresh stream. Seems like he found his groove and happy spot on night one at his new location. The area appears to be much more open with the added resource of chanterelle mushrooms
</div>

<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-He is now testing out the waters of the cove where he relocated to
for potential fish and all three of his lines were emptied of bait
but no fish, hopefully he is able to</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Made a stove/chimney out of an old stump, really hope he doesn't
end up regretting that idea like so many other survival shows have, I remember Les Stroud had a large log shelter in Alaska that he caught on fire when he fell asleep.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
-Collected some limpets, mushrooms and other edibles for a nice small
dinner. He seems to have a nearly sustainable amount of edibles in his new area even without a sustainable protein source. </div>

-Still working on his canoe to try to find a salmon run, guy has a ton
of skill with wood working with extremely limited tools. His steam
bending is working amazing. Entire kayak is ribbed, tied and notched and looks great. Hopefully, it will be serviceable and he can find </div>

-He plans to not only find a salmon run for net based fishing but also
try his hand at open water fishing in the sound by his camp.
Hopefully for his sake there is a salmon run somewhere within the
roughly 5 square miles he is allowed to move within for the show.</div>

-WOW, didn't really see mike tapping that quick after this started and
he started showing his skills. My wife and I did foresee that he he
would tap due to missing his family but I expected he would stay at
least a month. Everyone know when their time is up and I guess that
was his. Good luck mike it was a pleasure watching you on the show.

Struggle for Independence" to review and I was able to get it finished a few days ago. Now that the book is available for sale on Amazon to the
masses I thought I would provide my review of the book for your consideration. You can find my review of Leann's first book here:<a href="http://priorproperplanningpppp.blogspot.com/2015/03/book-review-aftermatha-story-of-survival.html"> LINK</a>.<br />

<u><b>Excerpt From The Rear Of The Book:</b></u></div>
"We fight for our independence in total. Not just from a government or some other authority. This time, it's for being a free human being."<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>A world-changing event has taken
place and with seventy percent of the world’s population believed to be
dead, the first winter after IT happened will prove to be a bigger
challenge to survive than the disaster itself. </i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>Jimmy Walker has banded together with
other survivors in what was formerly known as Michigan. After meeting
the threats from the local criminal element and avoiding being rounded
up by the United Nations, the focus changed to gathering enough
resources to survive the coming winter. But the U. N. is not resting. </i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>Not only will the survivors have to
deal with people fleeing the cities, they will have to face all that
Mother Nature can throw at them without any modern conveniences. Even if
they manage to survive the weather, the lack of things to do leaves a
lot of time for getting lost in the magnitude of what has happened to
humanity.</i><br />

The story picks up where <a href="http://amzn.to/25Ix4gS">Aftermath</a> left off. <a href="http://amzn.to/1Uv8FDe" target="_blank">Aftermath II</a>
delves into the community banding together in their fight for
survival. The engaging style and fast paced story that I enjoyed in the
first book continues to engage the reader. Although it can be read as a
standalone since it does a good job of recapping what has happened, I
recommend you read Aftermath first. If you are looking for a book that
will keep you turning the pages, pick up Aftermath II.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So what are a few preparedness takeaways from this book that I believe could help anyone on their preparedness journey when thinking toward a collapse type of event: </div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Government and governmental agencies are non-existent and no help: So what does that mean? No first responders, no military, no road maintenance, hospitals, power plants, etc. So if you're not self reliant for those things you better get that way soon. So get security in-line, practice alternative medicine, and be prepared for anything. Get an alternative power supply that is not reliant on fuel such as solar, wind or hydro.</li>
<li>Food production is at a local level, if you are not a farmer, hunter, trapper or have a solid knowledge of wild edibles or medicinal plants there is no time like the present to learn. If you don't have a stash of heirloom seeds you may want to stock up now.</li>
<li>Have a bug-out location and several backups and be able to live out of a backpack long-term if needed while on the move.</li>
<li>Outdoor cooking skills are essential, so if you haven't baked on a fire or cooked a full meal while camping you need to get out there and practice that skill now. </li>
<li>Clothing choices are key! Don't buy cheap clothes, get items that will last and will be good long-term clothing and remember wool is your friend! Also never skimp on boots, if you can't walk you can't survive. </li>
<li>Bartering will become an essential part of society. Get onto those Facebook trade group pages, go to swap meets and practice your bartering skills. Get your hands on some extra gear, silver, Alcohol, etc. and be prepared to trade goods or your services for things you need. </li>
<li>As an add on to the previous point develop skills that are valuable now and post-collapse such as blacksmithing, hunting/fishing/trapping, sewing,cooking/food preservation, farming, fermentation/distilling, etc.</li>
<li>Keep your group small and manageable and be sure you can trust everyone in the group with your life, if you cant then there is a good chance it could cost you big in the future. </li>
</ol>

<u><b>Conclusions:</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book makes you think about self reliance and the skill set needed to survive in both a wilderness environment and also a post-collapse type environment. The book made me think of what my kit would be for a long-term self-reliance on the road and I would normally go with my haversack, but needing to carry clothing and bedding for the winter months. Ideally I would use my largest dry bag as a winter cache and be able to travel light with just my haversack and items on my person if I'm assuming more of a nomadic hunter-gather life style. If I settled in a place life would be a lot different but would still need to have all those essentials in a pack for a rapid escape. At any rate, this book makes you think a great deal like the One Second After book did for me originally. </div>

<i><u>Day 15</u></i></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Exploring his surroundings
today and he finds a moss covered natural toilet made from roots
hanging over a bank. Now he just needs to make a pit and he has an
outhouse, but that ground looks a little tough to dig into,
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Found a massive plastic
container that he plans to make a boat from with a few outriggers</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Maiden voyage of the boat
seems to be going well, that boat is really buoyant and it seems like
it went together for him extremely quickly!</div>

-Getting his inner pirate on
and dancing a jig in the boat, lol!</div>

-Has a mouse following him
around camp and is worried that it may be eating up his camp in the
near future</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Caught a pretty decent fish
and it almost slipped away but caught him before he did the death
flop back into the water. I have had that happen on a few occasions
on boats when I wasn't paying full attention and it can be heart
breaking!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

-Why in the world are you swinging from a rope alone in the middle of nowhere? That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw him swinging on that thing and I was just waiting for the mechanical injury to occur. But I guess if he is careful it could be a lot of fun and relaxing. I think I would have made a swing with a seat just because I'm a little more conservative and would try to avoid mechanical injuries a bit more. </div>

-Built a gym much like Mick Dodges (guy is crazy but knows how to work out in the woods)- pull up bar, chain weights, rock weights, log dumbbell. I agree it will keep your spirits up and and much more but that's a lot of calories you need to replace quickly, hopefully he is able to keep those calories up so he can keep going to the gym. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Survival workout program, great idea teach people how to workout in the woods while doing a survival class. I see a partnership with a gym in your future!</div>

<u><i>DAY 13: </i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-The little bit I can see of your shelter looks good, wish they would give us a good look at your shelter, appears to be a decent A frame type of shelter with some fairly large logs in place. I can't tell much about insulation but it looks like it could hold off a bear for a little bit!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Kelp urinal, wow he has indoor plumbing! I don't know if its something I would try because of the potential smell but it is pretty nice not to have to get your rain gear on every time you need to pee in the middle of the night!</div>

<i><u>Day 10:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Had a stake come out of his gill net, yielded 0 fish in a week of deployment. That's crappy luck man, you have a cove but it doesn't look like you have a fresh water stream like several others to give you a prime spot to place your gill net. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Thus far he has only ate limpets and seaweed, the lack of protein has got to be wearing on your energy levels by now. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-I like your log lounger, looks comfy there in that Lester River Borel Coat</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-$500k is a lot of money but couldn't be your whole motivation for being there. I know it would drive me to stay, but at some point if it isn't about proving something to yourself and just about the money it won't be enough to keep going.</div>

<i><u>Day 12:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Got to love old school cane pole fishing, used to make rods a good bit as a kid. Glad you had luck with the process! Maybe this will inspire a few kids to get out there and try fishing with limited resources or what they find along the banks!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-A rock fish can live 200 years, wow.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-I like your table, good stuff man!</div>

<i><u>Day 13:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-About to loose your kitchen/fish processing log.... why not just pull it further onto shore?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Nicole: </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>Day 10:</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Shelter is looking really insulated these days, great work!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Still digging the positive attitude with bears, ability to sleep post bear encounter, etc.You're becoming the person I'm rooting for and I try to remain neutral. Your attitude, skill set, camp setup and the fact you're an underdog (all of the medical issues you had to fight through and the longest lasting female contestant) make you easy to root for sticking around for a very long time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>Day 11:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Holy crap she caught one heck of a fish! Going to have to smoke the heck out of that fish</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Wow cutting that fish head off while in the water it's going to drawl bears quick! She needs to get out of there asap!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-I think I would try to process my fish a little away from that area just because of the bear presence and the fact it would compromise my future fishing with the bear being really close to that gill net. It is essentially pulling their attention to the net where it might not have in the past ventured there due to her presence and scent. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Might want to do a cooking camp as well, I noticed no one is doing that this year and I have no idea why? Maybe I'm just a little cautious, but without my trusty 44 Magnum strapped to my chest I don't want to fight a 600lb bear from a dead sleep and that says something because I'm a pretty big guy and will generally not back down from much. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-That's a ton of salmon to eat in one setting! I would probably smoke the crap out of salmon and eat a little each day with whatever I could gather thinking more long-term for those days when the massive storms hit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>Day 12:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-WOW, look at that shelter! That is by far the best shelter I've seen on a survival show bar none. That salmon gave her a ton of energy. She also insulated the shelter further with ferns. Heck of a job Nicole, you are putting the boys to shame on long-term shelter construction (at least what we have seen), granted Mike's projects are great and Justin looks like he has a mini cabin but one has perks and the other we haven't seen as much of. I really wish they would show more shelters and the resources in their immediate area. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>Day 13:</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Take a look at her spare wood pile, good amount of wood stored in preparation of the storm. Really like Mike's setup better but hers looks like it will serve her well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Great work on that lean-to/Yurt, 0 leaks amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Gill net looks to be 40' from shore where as it is normally just a creek. Storm surge is crazy, good example for people to remember when camping near water!</div>

-That log cabin is looking good for such a short time, why not try to make more of a permanent roof instead of solely relying on the tarp for insulation</div>

<i><u>Day 13:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-His gill net is out in high tide and is at risk of loosing the net</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-I think I would have got naked or down to boxers and a t-shirt before I got into the water, just to keep my clothes dry in such a wet environment. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Wow that was good luck catching a salmon while cleaning your gill net!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Chop stick seems like they are working great, now for the millions of Americians who have no idea how to use the chop sticks that come with their Chinese food you need to do a tutorial for eating with them and making them!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Shelter is still just a tarp shelter it appears, that was a big surprise for me. Being that he teaches a good bit with Nicole (or so I've been told) I just thought their shelters would be a good bit alike and their approach would mirror each other, but sometime opposing theories are brought together to put on an epic class!<br />
-The amount we are seeing of Jose really leads me to believe he is going to be one of the finalist for sure, two weeks and they have only given him 5 minutes of screen time. </div>

This week on History's ALONE we see a contestant go home, several contestants get much needed protein, significant improvements to a shelter, net making, encounters with predators and much more! Also don't forget Tomorrow 05/17/2016 at 9pm Eastern time over at <a href="http://prepperbroadcasting.com/listen-chat-live/live-shows/the-7-ps-of-survival/" target="_blank">Prepper Broadcasting Network (LINK)</a> I will be talking to Larry Roberts about his time on ALONE and what he has been upto since returning home, so be sure to join us in chat or feel free to call 347-202-0228 to listen to the show and press 1 to ask any questions you may have live on the air. <br />

Quote of the week comes at the onset: "The instinct to survive will never

Everyone seems to be using their
headlamps this year compared to last year where it was a big controversy because it wasn't on the list of items to take. This year it is known to be a part of the safety equipment offered to the contestants, so no controversy and well everyone seems to be wearing them 24/7<br />

<u><b>Tracy</b></u>:</div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Day 7:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Really emotional post seeing Momma
black bear and her cub.<br />
-Tracy says:“Being good at violence is not good and
that is exactly who I reverted back to tonight”
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-She decides to tap out post bear
encounter because of how she reacted aggressively with the cub.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-I didn't see anything violent about
what she was doing or even that her actions were aggressive but she wants to go with
a little more of a peace/love/harmony approach to life and I wish her luck with that endeavor. For me personally it
may not have even been aggressive enough, when it comes to fight or
die I would always choose to fight and fight with everything in me. I
understand more than most some of the bad stuff she has seen
throughout her career as I still think about many bad calls early in
my career, but we all deal with trauma and hurt in different ways so
you can fault her for how she feels. I know the last few predator
encounters I have had while sleeping the last thing on my mind
pre/during/post encounter was ghosts of my past as I was more
concerned with #1 my weapon, #2 my light and #3 my plan of action
(i.e. shoot, scare or take no action). Until you have been alone
without a firearm and encountered a predator as your wake-up call you
will never know that cold chill down your spine, your senses going
from relaxed to hyper and then hopefully training and instinct take
over and you have a positive outcome and get to go home and see your
family.<br />
-She went out on her own terms, she started accomplishing what she wanted in life and no one can fault her for her decision. Good job and I wish you the best in finding that inner peace you are looking to find. </div>

Day 8:</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-That 20'x20' tarp is huge! That is a massive foot print and he seems like he is quasi protected from the coastal wind.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Kissed a slug in the middle
of the night thinking its his wife. I've had plenty of bugs craw on me while sleeping in the woods but never woke up to one in/on my mouth. At least he didn't have to look too far for his next meal. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Nice raised bed, glad to
see one on the show finally! Really surprised he hasn't started making an insulated shelter of some kind. Granted it may be way too warm for an insulated shelter at this point, but it the cold days are coming and a retreat will be a project well worth the time in my opinion. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Plans to build a wood
drying rack over his fire, that is 100% essential for a wet environment and for continued successful fire making in a wet environment.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Great setup for the
firewood drying rack setup according to how you need to build fire,
think I would add a place to a few logs so I could leave a single log
on the fire for most of the night some nights as well</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Camp is really coming
along! Drying rack looks great and I'm glad someone is looking at
this experience long-term.<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-I see you found a plastic
jug on the beach! Mother nature does provide even if it is because
humans leave so much trash behind! Looks like you found a ton of cordage as well! I guess that gamble we talked about on the radio show paid off. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Surprised that you are not
building a cooking camp away from where you sleep just to draw predators away from you a little bit instead of potentially pulling them into your camp.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-I like the elevated fire
area, but think I would have made myself a chair (hammock chair would be amazing) instead of an
elevated cooking platform and made that area in to a table (a few minutes later it shows a table and a chair... well I guess you are running out of projects).
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Built a hands free water
faucet via bleach container, nice man.... hot shower needs to be
next!</div>

Day 8:</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Yum! Tacos and fried
chicken! I foresee a corporate sponsorship from KFC post show for you
my friend!
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Gill net is not providing
any subsistence and he believes that the holes in the net are just
too small which would mean the fish simply just bounce off of it.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Gill net is the # 1 food
producer on the island (I agree 100%). he also said that he was
limited to one gill net (wow that sucks, maybe a hammock and a gill
net would be allowed?)</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Good job with the net
needle and crafting a second gill net with washed up cordage. Net is
coming together very quickly and looks really great, not ugly at all
brother!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Day 9:</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Getting dehydrated and his
water catchment ran out (I wish they would have shown his and others rain catchment systems), he now has to boil his water to drink daily
until they get more rain.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Cedar bark and spruce resin
for his tinder bundle of choice and I have to agree 100% with that
choice! Great fast fire, making it look easy brother.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Bummer on the pot falling
on you, live and learn. I usually use my pathfinder metal containers
with their stoves but rocks can be a pain like that, sticks even more so, usually end up just building the fire around my container and on the ground so I don't have to worry about it or using a tripod to suspend my container at the top of the fire.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Surprised by the self
restraint of not dropping an F-bomb on camera after the pot tipped, I
would have been cursing that pot for my mistake for awhile.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-”If you want to catch big
fish then use big hooks and big bait” sage advice.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-”Bucket of chicken is a
phone call away,” man KFC better pay this man and give him free chicken for life much like Sam got his free hot pockets for life!</div>

Bushcraft Boreal Coat, I have 0 doubts you will be cold on your

-Still in shorts and a
t-shit, love it man! For those who may have been wondering if he did
bring pants, he did but prefers wearing shorts, as his legs and feet don't
get as cold as the rest of his body.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Hammock/gill net worked
great and caught a decent sized fish so where are you going to sleep
now?</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

wasn't horrible, it wasn't a filet job by any means but it did get

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Not Lucus, not Alan... I am
who I am! <i><b>Que the Popeye MEME's :)</b></i></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Someone is finally making a
spear! Looking like he decided to build more of a frog gig to me and
then when he is done... wow! Spear for bear/predator defense and gig
with what looks like 12 points and almost 8” wide! What is with the Sasquatch comments this year? Did Les Stroud start something with that hunting for Sasquatch series he did (wasn't a fan of that series)? </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-I could be drinking a beer
and eating a burger in about 2 hours, don't start thinking like that
it will get your head out of the game and also make you hungry. In my
case it would lead to singing Jimmy Buffet's Cheeseburger In
Paradise! <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Day 9:</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Caught something in the net
and the second he touched the net the fish is able to slip away,
crappy luck man!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Eating limpets and
periwinkles but lack of protein is hurting his ability to function at a high level. </div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-His stationary line
produced a fairly large fish and a second stationary line yielded a
second decent fish. so like I said in several earlier posts.... get
that trap line going and going early! Now 3 fish, living high on the
hog thanks to that water based trapping.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Making several fish filet's for dinner
and then using fish guts, and bones in water to make a very rich stew
for the morning (might invite predators throughout the night but need
all those nutrients).

-Made a counting stick to
calculate how many days she has been on the island. Rituals and daily
schedules are how you keep from going crazy.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-She is putting her gill net
out today, still don't understand why everyone is waiting so long to
put their gill nets out; but it is what it is and I wasn't there so they go with what mother nature gives you. Net needs to be a little more taunt but not
terrible for her first try, also looks like when she deployed the net it got a little tied up and bunched up, hopefully it doesn't effect performance in a negative manner.

<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Day 10:</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-Momma bear and her cubs are
setting there by the river looking for food not too far from where
Nicole has setup her gill net. Momma bear stands up and Nicole bails
from the area as footage cuts out. The worse case is coming between a
momma and her cubs, a close second is having momma think you are a
threat to her cubs but either way you are probably in for the fight
of your life,

Another very good episode of History's ALONE this past week where we see one contestant go home by the end of the episode and several others thriving in their environment. One "popup" fact that really stuck out to me was that each year Vancouver Island receives 12.5 feet of rain. That is a crazy amount of rain for someone not from the Pacific NW to comprehend/fathom let alone understand the struggle of constant rain. In West Virginia two years ago we equaled that amount of rain and went above and beyond that with snow fall and I remember thinking this rain every single day is really a pain. It impeded a lot of the outdoor sports I enjoy and really limited the amount of pack rafting and rafting I could do simply because the rivers were so high there were no take out points (i.e. it was at flood stage all summer). Below I will break down the episode according to what each participant experienced on the show. </div>

<i>Day 7-</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Something tells me (the
way she is shaking) that is her first major injury treated in the
field. I found myself thinking at least clean/flush the wound to see what you have before you call for help. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Apparently she is tapping
out and pressing the button on her locator beacon without trying to do much self aid. One would think basic first aid would be a required skill to be on the show. I have cut myself several times in the field and simply sewn it up with plantain cordage or fishing line or for smaller cuts just seal with pine resin and go about my business. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
The wound took a total of four 4x4's to control bleeding and it looked like it could have been an easy sew job. If she would have 1) calmed down, 2) flushed the wound, 3) determine extent of damage (if no nerve or tendon damage she is fine to treat herself), 4) stop bleeding, 5) suture or seal wound. Granted there could have been more damage than it appeared (nerve, tendon or vascular damage would require a surgeon to fix) and if any of the previous were the case its good she tapped out, I just wish she would have given it a little time to clean it and see if feeling returned after the initial shock. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
I had a feeling she would more than
likely be one of the first few people to leave just based on the skill set and background she brought into the competition. I love it when people prove me wrong and hopefuls she is able to come back from this and give it another try on a different show format or location.

Great idea on making hand
holds and foot holds to make your long term life and trips up the
hill easier. Only issue that I can foresee with this setup would be a slip/trip/fall and impaling himself with one of the sticks used as a foothold.</div>

I'm glad they are not
editing around the expletives man, no matter what people film if you
spend enough time in the woods you will get pissed, you will get hurt
and you will curse like a sailor when something goes sideways. Stay frosty and unfiltered my friend, hope its a long journey for you on the island!

Bow drill in that
environment is going to be tough without having time for the bow
drill set to dry out, really glad you didn't just tap the second you lost your ferro rod. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Good form on the bow
drill!<br />
<br />
It looks as though he is using his show laces for the bow string, great reason to change out your standard shoe laces for paracord or even firecord due to their versatility. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Why is it everyone uses a
rock for a bearing block? I've always found a good hard wood works
the best aside from a commercial bearing block. Where in the world do
people find these awesome bearing block rocks? I walk a creek and I
find nothing but he finds a perfect one in an hour.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Looks like he is at least
six attempts in on his current hearth board without success. I might focus on other
things for a day while keeping the friction set in my spare clothing to dry out and
give it a go the next day.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Great job getting a
friction fire in that environment, at least it isn't the wet season yet! Now hopefully you make some char and start looking for a glass bottle or grab a piece of high carbon steel and start testing materials for a flint/steel fire. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Her first tip- Listen to the birds, they

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Good lean-to shelter with
insulation. The more I think about it the more I'm leaning toward a tepee style of construction making use of several lodge poles and lots of pine. This would make for a warm shelter that could be quite comfortable and large while still being able to have a fire inside the structure. </div>

Her first thought about the bear grunting noise was that it sounded like two Sasquatches having sex, now that's funny? Can't say I believe in Big Foot but I guess if I did maybe that would be my first thought too.... but I was assuming the bear was killing something. </div>

1<sup>st</sup> person to
get/use natural cordage (I use young pine roots as natural cordage
personally) by digging up spruce roots. He made a very good point
that you need to keep the cordage in water to maintain their elasticity, This method of gathering cordage is often overlooked and I'm very surprised as its one of the easier means of obtaining workable cordage quickly. </div>

Making a fire blower, I
usually just use bamboo/river cain or my hat, but great skills.
That's why he was my pick to win. I like that he is already thinking
long-term in several aspects (camp convenience, fire making, cordage, etc.). I think my first non-camp and non-trap line project would be a simple spoon and then chop sticks or a fork and bowl. </div>

She is just now putting out here gill net. No luck with traditional fishing. Why would this not be a day 1 or 2 kinda deal like I've said in past articles. Gill net after a few hours has a crab and a fish... that's exactly why you want that out ASAP!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
She has augmented her
shelter to have four walls and it is looking a little better, but I just can't believe that no one is building a long term debris insulated shelter yet while their energy reserves are still relatively high. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
I wonder what that red
pouch is that she is carrying? I guess if you make it into a sling or
haversack it would be great for carrying around the bulk of your gear
that you need quick access to on a regular basis.

Everyone in
fire/ems/LEO/Military all have one or two stories that weigh on them
that were a turning point in their career. What makes the difference
is weather you take that pivotal point in your career and make it
into a positive change by letting it drive you or you let it destroy
you.

Seems everyone went with a
down sleeping bag, I get that they are light and warm, but what I don't understand is why? Down gets wet and stays wet and loses its insulation value. Why not go with a king size wool blanket that is thick as you can get and just saddle stitch that bad boy up yourself with a canvas outer layer. That would be a heavy duty bombproof sleeping bag that would dry quickly and resist water, all while performing like a tank!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Has a bear coming into
camp after making that crab/fish soup in her camp, I can't imagine why
in the world that would happen (sarcasm added). Bad thing now is that
she has a mamma and cubs close so not getting between mamma and cubs
needs to be a major priority for her, I would also make a pine pitch
torch and an extended reach fire-hardened spear for extending defensive reach
(well I would have done that the second I go off the
boat/plane/helo but I digress). If you are going to cook in camp you better 1) have a fire all night and 2) expect a visitor or two through the night as you are basically calling the predators to your location.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Conclusions: </b></u></div>
Lot's of good learning points this week! 1) Birds and bears can be your eyes and ears; 2) you haven't spent enough time in the woods if you have went off on a tool/tree/animal a time or two; 3) get those trap lines setup early- you need the food bad get ahead of the calorie game if you want to thrive; 4) Those with very high skill levels are rising to the top of the pile as you can just watch and see who has actually spent a significant portion of their lives in the woods; 5) wool is where its at for sleeping material and not down like everyone seems to be taking and in a pinch much easier to re-purpose as additional clothing; 6) friction fire is possible in that environment without drying your set; and 7) Glad to see at least a few people are thinking long-term already. <br />

I'm a little disappointment in the new format this year (even though
it means people lasted a good bit longer thanks to moving up the time
line well ahead of winter) as I really enjoyed seeing and hearing
everyone's drop off location, thoughts at drop off, resources they
find on their initial walk around and their initial shelter setup. I
like the fact that people are lasting longer, but it's still summer
temperatures and everyone can camp in the summer, not everyone can
survive let alone thrive in the winter so making it there in the
winter is more of what I will be looking at.<br />

Some other general thoughts that popped into my mind my top female
contestant, Nicole, hasn't got much air time nor has here Canadian
counterpart who I picked in the top 3 as well. Maybe that means they
will be around till the end or maybe they are just trying to throw us
off a little bit.

Some other ALONE news that hit the wire since the last article include
the big news that Season 3 (which starts filming this month I
believe) will be moving away from Vancouver Island to Patagonia in
South America. While a new location is exciting it will really
determine where they actually decide to place the contestants as
there are so many micro echo systems within that area which could
offer more hunting prospects and more radical weather.

She is still living out of the a-frame shelter she made in the early
going. Really surprised that she didn't work on fortifying that
shelter and making a raised bed especially with all of her problems
with that shelter setup.

She is hearing voices already..... Is she into bad water or just
letting all the time alone get to her? I see her going home the next
time she is featured in an episode.

Mary Kate is just getting around to making a shelter that is capable
of having a fire in it, but wont be using it for a living space? Why
in the world would you want a shelter just to sit by a fire unless
you're making a cooking camp close to your food resources? Why not
use that 20x20 tarp and make a nice big tepee with a raised bed and
throw a ton of pine and ferns on the outside of the shelter held in
place with more poles to offer additional insulation for the coming
winter. That 20'x20' tarp would make a tepee large enough for three
plus people with a fire pit, wood storage location, gear storage
location and much more!

She keeps making these wood ridge lines just to throw a tarp over. Is
it just me or is that way too much work when the fishing line would
have worked and she used cordage anyway instead of notching to save
on cordage.</div>

</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Making a front door? You have a 20'x20' tarp... how do you not have
enough tarp to make a door? I like the idea of the swinging door, but
why not make a full sized door since you're not going to have a fire
in your shelter? Also found myself saying that raised bed will keep
you a lot drier than a door over and over as she built that.

</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
She still doesn't have a fire on day 7? No wonder she was worried
about getting her boots and sleeping gear dry, one night by a fire
and those boots would have not only been dry but also smelled a lot
better.

Got to be careful with that axe, that's why I like batoning just for
safety purposes. Less than a minute after I say that, ouch. Can't say
I haven't got myself with a knife or axe before, if you spend a lot
of time in the woods mistakes happen, but that technique was what
caused the injury 100%. The graphic below will show the time line of
the injury for those who didn't see. If you're going to utilize your
axe in that manner simply set the axe the woods by pressing it in
firmly, then clear your spare hand from the area and tap the axe
deeper into the wood by lifting the axe and wood slightly and tapping
it against your splitting log. I don't think she got the tendon ,but
hard to tell without the bleeding being controlled and taking a
better look. The wound is easy enough to sew up with a fishing hook
and some like if it needs stitches. If not find some plantain to make
a poultice and then secure with your bandanna from your clothing kit.

Says he wants to keep active to stay sane, so he is going to explore
the area and go from there. I would probably make my initial shelter
once I got off the boat and and then explore my 2.5 miles in each
direction for resources or a potentially better shelter location.

Finally, the show has cast a kindred spirit! Shorts and sandals to
explore, a man after my own heart! I would probably not wear them
when I don't know what I'm getting into, but around camp, trips to
check traps, etc would be shorts and t-shits for sure!</div>

Not a lot of wildlife sign in the forest, but that is to be expected
in a predator dense environment. Gill nets, trout lines and fish
traps would be the main stay for securing meat in that environment as
I stated from the onset of season 1.

Why not at least cut the duck and check his organs to determine his
health? I would have at least examined the organs to determine if it
was sick or if it was still potentially edible, but that's just me I
wouldn't want to miss a meal that was that easy to get!</div>

Not sure what his gear sling setup is but I like it a lot, use that
setup for my bottle bag and love the haversack style setup to keep
all of your safety gear and survival essentials on your person. I
guess one could easily be made with a shemag from your clothing kit.

</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Mike set a great goal for himself , He wants to be be out there for
an entire year. Aggressive goal and I like it man, I guess that would
be a $78,000 salary plus the potential $500,000.00 in winnings not
bad for a year in the woods!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
He landed in a great location, nice little cove he has there with
plenty of resources!
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Mike started laying some edible sea plant knowledge on viewers:
seaweed, sea grass, bull kelp (can grow 2' a day) so he has access
to plenty of wild edibles just from the ocean. This was the best
moment of the show thus far I thought as it showed someone excelling
with their skills and teaching a skill to all the viewers.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
If you have a fresh water creek that flows into the ocean near you
then you are golden! Fish and freshwater from one location is key! I
was surprised by the size of that gill net it's huge, so much more
potential coverage than the ones people used last year!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Bear scat everywhere, but with the resources he has I guess that is
to be expected. I mean after all he did see a mamma and two cubs on
his helipad on the way in!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Three fish from that gill net after a roughly 12 hour soak, heck of a
day brother. Smoke the heck out of them man for down the road!</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
How long did he smoke them? I guess he cooked them and is just hoping
to keep them for a few days at the refrigerator like temperature
found underground. I think I would have smoked the heck out of them
for a few days just thinking long-term in-case fishing does go well
or I find a boom in resources. Would try to take only small portions
of the meat each day with wild edibles to make sure it lasts awhile
in-case of bad results from the gill net some days.

Says he is not a fisherman. Well that probably takes him out of my
projected top 5 if he chooses to only do land based trapping instead
of shore based trapping. I would spend most of my time making fish
traps, placing gill nets, setting trout lines, shore based fishing
and then setting up a land based trap line with several bird traps
and figure 4's.

Cant wait to see how that condor Matt Graham survival knife works
out! I have been wanting to get my hands on one for a long time now
and that stainless steel would really help with durability long term
in that humid/wet environment.

He is setting up several paiute deadfalls for taking anything from
mice to rabbit, while I like a good land based trap-line as much as
the next person, it just seems like a less effective means of
obtaining meat as opposed to utilizing the ocean.

He has setup an a-frame tarp shelter, I keep coming back to the same
thought why is no one thinking long term shelter after a week? Your
energy will be starting to drain, I would want to get as much wood
in, set up my long-term shelter and get a trap line started in the
first week. Why is no one else doing that?

2000 calories in three days? Think its time to hit the beach and eat
what mother nature gives you! With all the wild plants the sea
provides it's hard to believe he hasn't been out there since day 1.

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Why does everyone assume that since a trap is triggered it was done
by an animal? The wind could have easily triggered the trap.</div>

5 days and your gill net isn't out? WHY WHY WHY? That's a day 1 maybe
day 2 task not a week in task. It takes 20 minutes to put the net
into place and is a passive means of obtaining meat.

<i><u>Day 7</u></i>:
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Lost his ferro rod. Why in the world is everyone not strapping those
to your hip? I think that would be a major priority to have secured
100% of the time, especially after what happened with Joe last year!
Having lost a ferro rod in the past when I slid down a near 90 degree
slope during hunting season I always use shock cord to secure mine
now.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
His ferro rod rolled into the fire pit and burnt up. Crappy man,
crappy. Preparedmind101 did a video showing this on his YouTube
channel this week using a thermal imaging video camera and it's 100%
true that the ferro rod just goes disintegrates.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
He took a stainless steel blade (Condor Matt Graham Survival Knife)
so flint/steel is off the table unless he has something else that is
high carbon steel (i.e. his axe or saw). Advantage high carbon steel
blade and also advantage to wearing eye glasses! I'm sure he could
find flint or chert out there if he looked and grab a little char out
of his fire. Also why is no one making natural char as soon as they
get there just in case and to help preserve their ferro rod?

<u>Conclusions</u>:
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
Randy and Mike switched places on my ranking of who's going to stay
the longest list this week. I'm interested to see if Mary Kate drops
out next week. Her skill level seems to be on the lower end when
compared to the other contestants from what has been shown and having
those two young children at home have to be weighing on here.
Assuming there are no nerves or tendons severed and no arterial
bleeding then sew that bad boy up, throw some plantain on it, wrap it
in cotton and call it good! Mike showed what a great instructor he is
and I can't wait for more content from him, he just started a YouTube
channel so be sure to check that out! Nicole and Jose are next week,
can't wait to see how two of my front runners fair!<br />

<br />
I asked this last year and I will ask it again this year..... Why in the world is no one making a
raised bed? Its a rain forest get the heck off the ground! I may just be a redneck from WV but man I know I don't like sleeping on the wet ground and do whatever else it takes to stay high and dry. Hopefully we see a few in the more long-term shelters!<br />
<br />
On a high note 2/4 (50%) of the people featured this year had fire within 12 hours of being dropped off so that's awesome compared to the amount that couldn't get fire last year. Fire is life and protection out there so I'm glad they focused on fire skills during the selection process.... granted a primitive fire is not ideal by any means and that was their test... I think I would have tested them in the rain with a ferro rod, collecting and igniting 10 different tinder sources, charring natural materials, carrying fire, fire lays, split wood fires and much more instead of focusing on just primitive fire. Producers if you want a fire challenge to ensure people can use those ferro rods on the Island give me a shout.... speaking of that I think I need to put together a video of the making a fire in the middle of a creek. <br />

<u><b>Desmond</b></u>:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Great water source in the waterfall</li>
<li>Quotes Mike Tyson in saying "Everyone has a plan until they get hit
in the face"- I immediately think "or clawed in the face by a bear" and I immediately know that History is doing a great job at leading up to Desmond immediately leaving the show. It does surprise me that the person who without a doubt got the most air time and the most hype pre-show was eliminated on the first night, I would have thought they would have saved him for the second episode or so.</li>
<li>How did he not expect it to be wet in a
rain forest?</li>
<li>He seems extremely anxious and says woods have a eerie
feeling. It really makes me think he doesn't have a ton of experience in the woods, at least from a solo camping perspective. </li>
<li>The hype around the bears continues to show history's hands he is leaving tonight. </li>
<li>Why setup a bear bag when everything else is sealed up food wise? His process of making a bear bag also makes me call into question his fishing experience. How many times have you got your line stuck on a tree when flipping and you get a little aggressive or just don't pay attention and get snagged on a tree. Unless you are going after big fish and have extremely high test spyderwire, how fast does that line snap with a little pulling? Put 20lbs on that line and try to pull that line against an abrasive tree branch and you will have line failure in a rapid manner as he quickly found out.</li>
<li>I know game trails are easy to walk on in the woods, but if your freaked out by the presence of bears you might want to get to the coast and follow it to an area where there is less bear activity to setup your camp.If this were Kodiak island and you were following that game trail you would more than likely become a permanent resident of the island.</li>
<li>Man I called it knowing the bears would
get under his skin....It's one thing to have a gun and see a predator
and another to be there with an axe/knife/pepper spray and live with
one. First time you wonder across one it will scare the crap out of
you. Until you have been in beer country without a weapon and come across them you will never know what he experienced so don't judge too much unless you have been in his boots. </li>
<li>I knew it was coming, he tapped out the
first day and I called it from the very beginning just because of the
over confidence with the bear issue. Being from an area with limited
predators and going into the most predator dense area in North
America is an eye opening experience for him I'm sure. </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><b>Larry: </b></u>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<ol>
<li>WOW he looks different without the
beard! Anyone remember that Dave Canterbury commercial where he could light a fire with his beard? Well Larry that's what popped into my head brother.... How is he going to start a fire with his hands tapped behind his back without his super fire starting beard?</li>
<li>Great water source in the creek for you location! Water is no longer a problem for him and that means he can make it at least 30 days!</li>
<li>Going with an oddly simple tarp
shelter, really really close to the water. I know he has the skills for a much better shelter, but when time is of the essence sometimes you just want to do something good enough for right now. I have built many crappy one night shelters (one year ago during a 3day trip with just a 12 ga, water bottle, haversack, belt knife and survival bracelet I decided to just make a wind break and throw a ton of pine needles at the base of a pine tree. It worked out fine I tucked myself into my Lester River Bushcraft Boreal Jacket and slept like a baby till daylight and used my shelter as a hunting blind for Turkey season.) and they worked out fine in the short term, looking forward to what his long-term shelter becomes.</li>
<li>Tore his jacket going up the hill, really bad luck brother. I usually wear my Colombia Goretex rain coat in the woods all spring and haven't had that happen to me yet luckily. Since he doesn't have any duck tape or gorilla tape I wonder if he ends up sewing the jacket with a hook and fishing line and then seals it with pine resin. Will be interesting to see as keeping dry in a rain forest is paramount!</li>
<li>My question is why did he decide to climb up there for a potential camp location? It would be close to water for sure, but without a ton of rope there is no way he could have got all his gear up that hill without risking mechanical injury. I think I would have differed here and done what you did in the end, make a short term camp at your location by the creek. make fire for the night and start scouting the banks for a better location following the paths of least resistance. </li>
<li>I like the modified diamond type tarp
shelter for quick setup (<a href="http://priorproperplanningpppp.blogspot.com/2014/12/diamond-tarp-shelter-setup.html" target="_blank">See mine here- LINK</a>)</li>
<li>Fire next to that pelican case is a little sketchy man that thing is your friend but they melt easy, trust me I've seen a few get destroyed during fire training. Granted that fire was tiny and wouldn't do much, but it is a good place to sore food if you get a huge amount of salmon to smoke.</li>
<li>Good work on fire but split wood will
have to be your source of fire wood going forward for sure brother! Every time I think I could leave my axe behind if they ever let me go on the show and play I think to myself I need to save my knife as much as I can, I need fire and well an axe is the only way I'm going to split that much darn wood to last a long time out there.</li>
<li>He got a camp visit from a couple bears at his makeshift camp. </li>

<u><b>Mary Kate: </b></u>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<ol>
<li>She gets soaking wet boots off the helicopter, I think I would have opted for sandals for going off the boat and my set of zip off pants just because of the potential for getting wet... and the fact I would have been burning up if I went with my wool/fleece pants. If it was a big enough deal to get in her head I don't know why she didn't build a fire and dry her stuff out immediately and then worry about shelter.</li>
<li>The shelter she went with was essentially a tarp thrown over a ridge line stick
making an A-frame tarp shelter. Its a decent design, but poor execution. I would have taken about two hours and built a decent shelter that would get me by until I could get my winter/long-term shelter built. My choice would be dual tripods with a ridge line and a raised bed between the two (Why in the heck is no one building raised beds..... it's a rain forest!). This setup would allow you to be 100% enclosed for bad weather with that 20'x20' tarp or open it up with an awning and a fire underneath it also offers a place to have a tripod water filter and a place for multiple levels of storage.</li>
<li>Her shelter location and design (lets face it, if you didn't see the land sloping down to her shelter then you were not watching- trust me rewind I told my wife I really hope she digs a trench around that shelter. Anyway that wasn't done, she didn't make a raised bed and she ended up with a wet down sleeping bag.</li>
<li>Rant time, your going to a rain forest.... why is no one going with a large wool blanket or wool sleeping bag? It seems like the natural choice to me, but maybe I'm just too old school for my own good. </li>

<u><b>Tracy</b></u>:
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<ol>
<li>"I just need to find my order with the
predators,"Great place to find out.</li>
<li>Good advice on dead falls and knowing
not just whats around you but above you, remember that is a quick way to die and in an area with that much rain and wind there are going to be limbs that fall.</li>
<li>Good points on self aid and self rescue
and acting as your only resource</li>
<li>Shelter is a modified lento, as I said above its not what I would go with but to each their own. I'm seeing a better skill set than what I pictured from the first episode. I think she will end up hating that shelter when
the wind kicks up and it starts flapping.</li>
<li>Great landing spot living on a mussel
bed.... crappy luck that you cant eat shellfish because of red tide
contamination.... makes the level of suck this season even worse than last year!</li>
<li>Neighborhood animals stopping by in the
middle of the night to visit seems to be the norm.</li>
<li>RANT- why has no one made a darn spear? I think that's my first order of business off transport is to make a spear to extend my reach in an encounter and also provides me with a good walking stick to avoid mechanical injury.</li>
<li>Glad to see she has some fire skills,
much better than some of the people last year who didn't get a fire
at all.Good job and good work!</li>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
History Channel's series premier of Alone was last Thursday where
they revealed several behind the scenes facts and details about the
show and provided a first look at the 10 contestants who will be on
the show this year. Alone has become one of my favorite survival
related shows on television due to its format (a whole lot like
another favorite Survivorman) and the fact that each year when the
cast has been announced I have known several of the participants from
Facebook groups and the self reliance/preparedness community (it's a
small community after all). Last year I talked about Alone on the
radio show a couple times and wrote three articles where I provided a
few lessons learned from the show and I plan to do the same thing
throughout this season! This post might be a bit long and I apologize
for that, but there is a ton of information about the show below: My
notes from the show, Bio information on the participants from the
first show and my notes, My bets on the finalists, a list of what the
participants brought as a group, what items the group can select
from, a list of items prohibited, my selected 10 items and my
selected clothing items. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>My Show Notes
From Season 2 Episode 1: </b></u></span></span>
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Apparently
the show will be on Northern Vancouver Island again this year,
Quatsino Sound is where everyone will be actually placed (Eagle
Manner was the departure point). looking at the map it appears to be
in the upper left hand side of the island closest to the Aleutian
Islands (AK). Port Hardy on Vancouver Island is the initial staging
area where they gather prior to departing, where final instructions
are given, they are able to get their kits back and also where they
are blessed by a native tribe. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Over
3,500 People applied to be on Alone season 2, Including myself (so
if your comment is why don't you go on the show well I'm trying).
The initial process is that you fill out an online application and
assessment, if selected from there you are interviewed via Skpe by
the casting agency and then 20 finalist were selected to attend a
week long testing trip with producers and their survival expert
consultants from which 10 were selected to be on the show. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
week long trip with producers is essentially a tryout where they are
looking for skills in shelter building, fire starting and ability to
find food and water. </span></span>
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
assessment begins with shelter building as it rains 217 days a year
on Vancouver Island. Average temperature on the island is 39
Degrees in the weekend. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fire
Making they make sure you have the ability to make friction
fire..... My only question is why is this part of the evaluation as
the likelihood of success for a bow drill fire is so minimal it
isn't even funny. Using a ferro rod with a variety of tinder
sources, building tinder bundles, finding tinder, preparing for the
next fire, preparing charred material, transporting fire and
restarting a fire from embers. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
next leg of the evaluation week is food gathering where the
participants must prove their ability to build a wide variety of
traps, Figure 4's, bird traps, fish traps, dead falls, snares, and
much more were demonstrated. This is by far the skill that I
think should be most the most stressed in the evaluation process
along with securing fresh water as these are the two skills that
will directly effect the length of time you can survive alone.
</span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">They
also talked about psychological testing of the participants, I
think it should be some kind of stress immersion testing but they
didn't go into specifics about the process. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Camera
gear proficiency is required and during the evaluation week you must
demonstrate your ability to operate all of the camera gear (all 5 of
them). </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
10 contestants are on the island at least a week prior to going out
alone to learn about the local area, get briefings and legal
compliance and hone camera skills. Train on emergency kit </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
contestants must abide by all Providential hunting and fishing laws.
They each got permits to hunt, fish and trap like residents of the
providence but no firearms are allowed to be taken out during the
show. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
producers make sure each site has a food source (wild edibles, small
game or fish), timber for firewood/shelter building and water source
and the contestants pick their site via fortune cookie. Not all
sites are created equal as we saw last year but each one must at the
minimum have these three elements. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
tarp full of clothing showed just how massive of an amount of
clothing is allotted for the trip. With this much clothing plus a
winter clothing allotment it makes it really hard to be cold in my
opinion. At -22F with a dry bag full of clothing I can generally
camp without much shelter beyond a wind break. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Everyone
selected sleeping bags, ferro rod, axe, saw and a pot or pan for
there 10 piece kit but we will talk about that a little later in the
article! </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last
year everything from ropes to plastic bottles were easily be found
on the beaches so a ton of cordage might not be needed. Remember the
trapping and container uses for plastic bottles and also their use
for a digging device for clams, bait or even your own personal
outhouse. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before
launch the crew drops off all of the camera and safety gear cases at
the sites. At least you don't have to lug those pelican cases from
the plane/chopper/boat onto shore and then to your eventual camp
location. </span></span>

I'm still debating which one as I love so many but it's down to an
Lt. Wright Bushcrafter or Genesis, BHK Scout, or BHK PLSK2. All are
easily sharpened on river stone and honed with my leather belt, but
the bushcrafter or Genesis would probably win out due to the
versatility of the design in my opinion. This item can be used as a
replacment for the next two items to some extent, will clean any
game, can be used for self defense and also to craft any other

I keep debating this item over and over as I can get away with my

The vast majority of your nutrition will be coming from the ocean or

could probably find plenty of fishing gear along a beach but that is

I said this last year and it turned out to be correct, but this is

not a huge fan of snares as they are generally a one shot deal, but
I believe the success rate of a snare for small game would be much
higher than that of a few dead falls on a trap line. Couple this
with a few primitive bird traps, the gill net trout line and fish
traps and there should be a fairly decent trap line to work daily in
addition to looking for edibles, collection of water and gathering
firewood. </span></span></span></span></span>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y_YE6IEVeh0/Vvs-ZYDu8YI/AAAAAAAAF2w/O2phHiRXRCEU3v_bjUNFSG3aN3VSeYI1g/s1600/All%2BChecked.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y_YE6IEVeh0/Vvs-ZYDu8YI/AAAAAAAAF2w/O2phHiRXRCEU3v_bjUNFSG3aN3VSeYI1g/s320/All%2BChecked.png" width="230" /></a></div>
<br />
<u><b>Fits Hand Comfortably In All Positions</b></u>: This knife fits the hand pretty well in almost every single position. Using this knife as a draw knife is a little more difficult than say the IHK Bush Clever (<a href="http://priorproperplanningpppp.blogspot.com/2015/07/indy-hammered-knives-bush-cleaver-knife.html" target="_blank">See It Here</a>), but it simply wasn't built for that purpose it was built as a general all-around woods knife. The blade can also be utilized as a self defense tool as it works. The contour of the handle and the scalloping near the blade really provide a finished look to the blade and really helps with control of the blade!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Manageable Blade Length</b></u>: At 4.75" this knife is a nice blend of small and manageable for fine tasks, yet robust enough for processing down five wood via batoning. I was able to make a try stick quite easily with this knife and was still able to baton 4" Oak and then took it to the kitchen to prepare a meal without any issue. The knife felt comfortable and the blade was easily managed during every task I put before the knife. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xgS-lHI3B80/Vvr1NIDhNrI/AAAAAAAAF2M/zxEBIUJMIeA1-KN5uO9c5lrMV6yCpr7bQ/s1600/received_10201408188483306.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xgS-lHI3B80/Vvr1NIDhNrI/AAAAAAAAF2M/zxEBIUJMIeA1-KN5uO9c5lrMV6yCpr7bQ/s320/received_10201408188483306.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>
<u><b>Solid/Flat Pommel</b></u>: This knife has a slightly angled pommel but is easily manageable to implement as a hammering device as demonstrated in the video where I show it has the ability to hammer a peg into another piece of wood. This knife can easily be used to crush nuts, hammer in tent pegs and generally replace a hammer for light duty uses (granted you could easily pick up a stick, but this offers a little more control). <br />
<br />
<u><b>One Cutting Edge w/ No Serrations</b></u>: This blade obviously has no serrations making it ideal for processing fire wood via batoning and easy to field sharpen. The scandi grind
has retained paper cutting sharpness after several uses in the
kitchen and in the field and has been one of the best blades for edge
retention that I have tested recently. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SvpWBnvxM7o/Vvr1N8BGhjI/AAAAAAAAF2g/UypiW8tNl2w18hSyzR0hE-huIS9MNDWHA/s1600/received_10201408189443330.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SvpWBnvxM7o/Vvr1N8BGhjI/AAAAAAAAF2g/UypiW8tNl2w18hSyzR0hE-huIS9MNDWHA/s320/received_10201408189443330.jpeg" width="240" /></a> </div>
<u><b>90 Degree Edge on Spine</b></u>: This knife has one of the most aggressive 90 degree spines of any knives I have picked up. The spine will remove material from a ferro rod or material from a stick like a knife cutting through butter. There is no need to worry about getting used to the 90 for optimum performance as this knife just rips through material like its nothing. Great 90.... amazing 90, cant say enough about this amazing 90 degree spine. <br />
<br />
<u><b>High Carbon Steel</b></u>: There are very few knives that I would buy or even review that aren't high carbon steel and this one is no exception. The blade is made from a high-carbon 1095 variant of steel that will field sharpen easily and will throw sparks with flint/steel quite easily. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C8jfpMT1yow/Vvr1Nfs82cI/AAAAAAAAF2U/5_kvSnSNT-8AeEcIMGSs2-oHUBlb7_Zwg/s1600/received_10201408188603309.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C8jfpMT1yow/Vvr1Nfs82cI/AAAAAAAAF2U/5_kvSnSNT-8AeEcIMGSs2-oHUBlb7_Zwg/s320/received_10201408188603309.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>
<u><b>Sharp/Spear Point</b></u>: While this knife does have a sharp point and can be used as a modified/makeshift drill it doesn't work as well as a true spear point like that of a bushcrafter style knife with more of a spear point on the knife. The knife can easily make holes for starting a bow drill set, make a bore hole in wood or anything else where you may need a drill but be without one while in a wilderness environment. This knife will without a doubt function as a makeshift drill on the fly if the situation calls for it. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Heavy-Duty sheath with Ferro Rod Loop</b></u>: Sara (Christopher's Girlfriend), makes amazing looking leather sheaths (I still have a small belt sheath she made that has a deer stamped into the leather that everyone seems to love). While most of her sheaths don't come with a ferro rod loop standard you could easily use a different sheath and use this for more of a minimalist carry. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bqGqSymcEKo/Vvr1NyuZkYI/AAAAAAAAF2c/cmfKSWir47kOQShbt9iwu_5nkfoCqGV1Q/s1600/received_10201408189123322.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bqGqSymcEKo/Vvr1NyuZkYI/AAAAAAAAF2c/cmfKSWir47kOQShbt9iwu_5nkfoCqGV1Q/s320/received_10201408189123322.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>
<u><b>1/8"to 3/16" Blade Thickness</b></u>: This knife comes in at 5/32" and is a good upgrade to say a Mora Bushcraft Black (<a href="http://priorproperplanningpppp.blogspot.com/2015/03/knife-review-mora-bushcraft-black-vs.html" target="_blank">one of my favorite knives- see my review HERE</a>). This knife has no problem batoning through material and just felt like a very sturdy extension of your arm when utilizing this tool. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Full Tang</b></u>: There is no question this knife will last an extremely long time! The knife is obviously full tang and once you get your hand on this knife (assuming you're the lucky winner you will see just how bomb-proof this beautiful knife really is!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Conclusions</b></u>:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Christopher Apodaca Handmade Knives give you what you expect, a hand made knife that looks amazing and is highly functional. This knife is no exception. I expected a mirror finish, I expected awesome leather work by Sara, I expected to fall in love with the knife and not want to give it away! The knife is a joy to use and in case I didn't say it enough above... the 90 degree edge on this knife is so sharp and that was a pleasant surprise as most of the knives I've tested lately cant hold a candle to my BHK neck knives when it comes to serving as a ferro rod/tinder scrapper. The knife is the perfect size and weight for EDC and honestly you will forget that it's even there after awhile. All I can say is I envy whomever ends up winning this beautiful knife next week!</div>

We will be working our way through the book on the show giving you all kinds of insights on pre and post disaster communication and communication systems. You can pick up a copy of his book below.... Now what does this have to do with my blog aside from the fact he is on my radio show tomorrow? Well, this past week Jim Cobb over at SurvivalWeekly.com posted his annual
video/essay contest to coincide with the release of his newest book
"Prepper's Communication Handbook" (<a href="http://amzn.to/1LSO9iK" target="_blank">Buy it Here- LINK</a>).
The rules for the contest this year were pretty simple: 1) Provide
original content (either video or essay) about some topic concerning
preparedness or self-reliance - one of the suggested video topics was
pack setup so I talked about my haversack in the video below; 2) Upload
and email to Jim Cobb; 3) Be family friendly. The entrees are then
posted on survivalweekly.com where they will be judged by several
professional in the industry as well as selecting a fan favorite. The
three winners (fan favorite/video/essay) will receive a prize package with a multi-band radio, his new book, a UV pen, UV light and a few assorted training DVD's. <a href="http://survivalweekly.com/2016-sw-videoessay-contest/?platform=hootsuite" target="_blank">You can learn more about the contest here: LINK</a>. If you would like to see the rest of the entrants you can find those here (<a href="http://survivalweekly.com/2016-sw-videoessay-contest/" target="_blank">LINK</a>). <br />

So here is my updated woods haversack for the summer when in predator country. This kit can essentially suffice for long-term self reliance (sure a few traps and a few other things would be nice but I could easily be comfortable long-term out of this kit). There are several additions to this kit from when I explored it as my 10 C's kit for the Pathfinder School's Phase 1 Course. The video is a bit long as I talk about every item in the kit including my Micro 10 C's Kit (<a href="http://priorproperplanningpppp.blogspot.com/2015/05/micro-10-cs-kit-version-20.html" target="_blank">Find more information Here- LINK</a>) and my current fire kit. The weight isn't too bad at all but you will know its on your shoulder after a few hours with a full water bottle and a box of spare 44 Magnum ammunition. <br />

I forgot to add my ultralight fishing kit to the video as it was in my larger tackle box for a boat based trip earlier in the week. While this kit is not always in my haversack, it usually finds a home there whenever I will be near a fishable body of water. I know it is overkill and you can easily catch fish with a piece of cordage and a makeshift hook but a crank bait makes life the fishing process a little more fun. <br />

<u><b>Conclusions</b></u>: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love carrying my Pathfinder School Oil Skin Haversack whenever I'm in the woods as it is one of the more minimalist means of carrying everything I might need and still provide extra room for foraging, fire material, etc. This kit incorporates survival necessities, self/predator defense, sustainability and much more all in a lightweight (the haversack literally folds down to the size of an Altoids tin and weighs less than my micro 10 C's Kit) and adaptable package. I have been debating for awhile going back to a mid-sized backpack and utilize it for every trip long or small where as the haversack is broken down and placed into my pack on longer trips. For now the haversack kit will be by my side whenever I venture out but as always I'm always looking to improve!</div>

prepping/survival/self-reliance/bushcraft/homesteading ebooks that I
downloaded for free from Amazon and thought I would continue that again
this week. I;m a little late this week and I apologize for the delay. I will be posting free books each Friday that I
find through the week (If you miss a post just check the store's
reference section as I will add them there each week as well). Be sure
to check the price before you hit buy as amazon can change prices on a
whim but as of last night they were all free downloads! I hope you're
able to get some use out of this weeks books and I will post a comment
here if I find one I really like while reading this weekend! If you have
AdBlocker you will need to turn it off to get the free books to load
below. Just remember to refresh your browser to after you turn it off.<br />

The challenge was sponsored by Deer Creek Wilderness Outfitters (<a href="http://www.deercreekwildernessoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">find there here- LINK</a>) who offered up one of their new knives ($300.00+ value) as the first prize. The requirements of the challenge are as follows: 1) One tarp with ridge line; 2) Secured with four stakes; 3) Start fire with primitive source (flint/steel, magnification or friction method); 4) Tinder bundle prepared on camera; 5) Fire material can be processed and separated; 6) Fire lay much be built on camera; 7) Say start and stop; 8) Sustainable fire (they defined by roughly 1' flames); 9) Fastest time wins; 10) Post video to group page and tag group admin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p5EPqFv9kK8/VudhGMJkQbI/AAAAAAAAF08/2l4k_VpPfVIfRJIpvKEuBWIYUgCknWSAw/s1600/20140915_033056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p5EPqFv9kK8/VudhGMJkQbI/AAAAAAAAF08/2l4k_VpPfVIfRJIpvKEuBWIYUgCknWSAw/s320/20140915_033056.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

While I personally don't utilize a ridge line any longer unless hammock camping it's like riding a bike and essentially just requires the following: a figure 8 knot on one end (make the loop over sized to easily pass the working end through), then slip the rope through a grommet and place a toggle in the loop (2x or however many you desire to do so), then tie a butterfly knot 3' of more from the second tree, pass the rope around the tree and loop the rope through the butterfly using it as a makeshift 2-1 and finish the system off with a truckers hitch for easy take down.<br />
<br />
If I were going to do a true fire/shelter/water type of challenge to get the best possible time I would more than likely do the following: 1) Place a Modified Twig bundle fire (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0VWFJNKv8I&index=12&list=PLO7Wo6PM6SxOqcuiThNC9fJeG0t39pwW9" target="_blank">Learn how to build one here- LINK</a>) against a log and light with a ferro rod or lighter; 2) Place my water bottle on top of the log at the center of the bundle; 3) Setup modified Diamond Tarp Shelter (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ktyWRKMpqk" target="_blank">Learn how to set it up here- LINK</a>). Once the shelter is setup the water should be nearing its boiling point (depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature) and this time can be utilized to add larger fuel to your twig bundle and setup your bed roll. Assuming minimal negative variables and above 0F degree temperatures this entire process can usually be completed in close five minutes; whereas, the fire/shelter video took close to five minutes. Why can my preferred setup shave off so much time? The pre-made tinder/fire lay saves a ton of time and goes up like a roman candle and cooks like a flame thrower when you put the cooking vessel at the top of the fire lay and lighting the fire first gives me an extra two minutes or so to reach a boil while setting up the tarp. The modified diamond tarp shelter saves a ton of time and stays much warmer than other tarp setups. <br />

prepping/survival/self-reliance/bushcraft/homesteading ebooks that I
downloaded for free from Amazon and thought I would continue that again
this week. So while I
was downloading the books below last night I added them to my online
store's reference section (<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/th7pssubl-20" target="_blank">find it HERE-LINK</a>)
to save them until I could gain access to a laptop today. I will be posting free books each Friday that I
find through the week (If you miss a post just check the store's
reference section as I will add them there each week as well). Be sure
to check the price before you hit buy as amazon can change prices on a
whim but as of last night they were all free downloads! I hope you're
able to get some use out of this weeks books and I will post a comment
here if I find one I really like while reading this weekend! If you have
AdBlocker you will need to turn it off to get the free books to load
below. Just remember to refresh your browser to after you turn it off.<br />

Taraxacum)Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants and commonly referred to
as dandelion. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. Many
Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds
are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are
genetically identical to the parent plant.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Identification/ Description</b></u>: </span></div>
The leaves are 2”–12”
long, simple forming a rosette above the central taproot. The flower
heads are yellow to orange colored, and are open in the daytime but
closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape)
that rises .0.5”–5” above the leaves and releases a milky latex
when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time.
The flower heads are .75”–2” in diameter. The flower heads
mature into spherical seed heads called clocks containing many
single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a
pappus of fine hairs, which enable wind-aided dispersal over long
distances (thus why this plant is so invasive).<u><span style="color: #0000ee;"></span></u><br />

***Be sure to check out the video above featuring dandelion root in a wild edible stew)*** Dandelions are found on each continent
(with the exception of Antarctica) and have been gathered for food
since the beginning of recorded history. A perennial plant, its
leaves will grow back if the taproot is left intact. To make leaves
more palatable, they are often blanched to remove bitterness or
sauteed in the same way as spinach. Dandelion leaves and buds have
been a part of traditional Sephardic, Chinese, and Korean cuisine.
The flower petals, along with other ingredients, usually including
citrus, are used to make dandelion wine. The ground, roasted roots
can be used as a caffeine-free dandelion coffee. Dandelion was also
traditionally used to make the traditional British soft drink
dandelion and burdock, and is one of the ingredients of root beer.
Dandelion leaves contain abundant vitamins and minerals, especially
vitamins A, C and K, and are good sources of calcium, potassium, iron
and manganese. ***Be sure to watch the second part of the earlier video by clicking the picture below***<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Medicinal Uses</b></u>:</span> </div>
The fresh juice of Dandelion is
applied externally to fight bacteria and help heal wounds. The plant
has an antibacterial action, inhibiting the growth of Staphococcus
aureus, pneumococci, meningococci, Bacillus dysenteriae, B. typhi, C.
diphtheriae, proteus. The latex contained in the plant sap can be
used to remove corns and warts (beware using this plant if you have
severe latex allergies). Dandelion is also used for the treatment of
the gall bladder, kidney and urinary disorders, gallstones, jaundice,
cirrhosis, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema
associated with high blood pressure and heart weakness, chronic joint
and skin complaints, gout, eczema and acne. As a tonic, Dandelion
strengthens the kidneys. An infusion of the root encourages the
steady elimination of toxins from the body. Dandelion is a powerful
diuretic but does not deplete the body of potassium. Dandelion is
traditionally used as a tonic and blood purifier, for constipation,
inflammatory skin conditions, joint pain, eczema and liver
dysfunction, including liver conditions such as hepatitis and
jaundice.

<u><b>Conclusions</b></u>: <br />
Dandelion is one of the most plentiful plants that you can find on the planet and many look at it as just an invasive weed that needs to be removed from your yard. The plant is a valuable resource for both medicine making, food and even back yard hooch (i.e. wine). This little plant is easy to identify without any notable lookalikes (when flowering) and is available from early spring (one of the first plants to come out) through late fall. This plant can give us anything from wine to salad to flour to medicine and is easily one of the top wild plants to adopt into your medicinal and edible plant game plan.<br />

(02/19/16) Last week I started sharing the prepping/survival/self-reliance/bushcraft/homesteading ebooks that I downloaded for free from Amazon and thought I would continue that again this week. So while I
was downloading the books below last night I added them to my online
store's reference section (<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/th7pssubl-20" target="_blank">find it HERE-LINK</a>)
to save them until I could gain access to a laptop today. I will be posting free books each Friday that I
find through the week (If you miss a post just check the store's
reference section as I will add them there each week as well). Be sure
to check the price before you hit buy as amazon can change prices on a
whim but as of last night they were all free downloads! I hope you're
able to get some use out of this weeks books and I will post a comment
here if I find one I really like while reading this weekend! If you have
AdBlocker you will need to turn it off to get the free books to load
below. Just remember to refresh your browser to after you turn it off. <br />

have been utilizing Plantain (a.k.a. Plantago major) as a medicinal
herb and wild edible since I was a kid. This medicinal plant is
literally everywhere (well everywhere below the permafrost line and
above the equator) you look and many regard it as a weed or an
unwanted part of their yard. So where is the best place to look for
plantain? Gardens, Lawns, trails and anywhere that gets a good bit of
sun during the day. Plantain can also grow in partial shade but would
require richer soil (it can grow in poorer soil configurations but
would need more sunlight). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en">Plantain has green, oval to egg-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette.
These leaves have thick stems that meet at a base. When these stems
are broken, they reveal string-like veins that resemble those in
celery. Long-pointed, green, petite flowers grow from the base; these
also contain a small pod housing dark seeds. The leaves grow in a
rosette and can range from 5 to 30 cm in length. Plantain leaves have
stems that contain string-like veins and these veins are seen on the
leaf. There are five to seven prominent parallel veins from the base.
Leaves are generally broadly lance-shaped to egg-shaped, are hairless
or sparsely short haired. Can grow to a height of 5 inches.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en">How
to use plantain medicinally: 1) make into a salve and apply to
wounds, stings, skin irritants, burns etc.n to expedite healing and
ward off infection; 2) Make a spit poultice to apply directly bites,
stings, skin ailments, stop bleeding, treat poison ivy, etc.; 3) boil leaves and place in cotton bandanna to treat bruising, swelling, stings, sprains, strains or muscle pain; 4) make tea with the leaves to treat
diherra, gout and GI ailments,; 5) Use tea as a mouthwash to treat
toothaches.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Plantain
is found all over the world, and is one of the most abundant and
accessible medicinal herbs. For thousands of years, poultices of plantain leaves
have been applied to wounds, sores, and stings to promote healing.
The root of plantain was also traditionally used to treat wounds, as
well as to treat fever and respiratory infections. Due to its
astringent properties, a tea of plantain leaves can be ingested to
treat diarrhea or dysentery. Due to the high vitamin and mineral
content, plantain tea simultaneously replenishes the nutrients lost
as a result of diarrhea. Adding fresh plantain seeds or flower heads
to a tea will act as an effective lubricating and bulking laxative
and soothe raw, sore throats.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en">Plantain
leaves can be twisted or braided to create cordage for making
sutures (biodegradable and healing properties) and can also be used
for light cordage for fishing or other camp tasks but best use is for
improvised stitches. I have used this twisted cordage for fishing with
little success and should not be thought of as durable cordage,
utilizing it as a biodegradable stitch is about the only feasible use
for the plant as cordage. </span></span>

tea</u></i>: For colds and flu use 1 tbls. dry or fresh whole
Plantain (seed, root, and leaves) to 1 cup boiling water, steep 10

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><u>Plantain
Poultice</u></i>: One of plantain's most common uses is as a poultice
for stings, bites, scrapes and rashes. The simplest way to harness
plantain's healing powers is to crush a few fresh leaves, and apply
to the affected area. Replace fresh leaves as necessary. The fresh
plantain juice takes the pain away and seems to work wonders at
stopping blood flow. The healing and drawing properties also help relieve the burning sensation of a sunburn. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Conclusions</b></u>:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Plantain is one of the most prevalent and useful medicinal herbs available on the planet and utilized for nearly anything you might need from food to a wide variety of medical conditions. I will say that this is perfect for adding to additional greens (wild onion, clover, etc.) for a salad (as long as it is a young plant older plants just taste a little too chewy). If you have any kind of skin ailment plantain will help draw the issue out weather it be a bite, sting, burn or poison ivy- just chew up a few leaves and make a poultice and secure it with a cotton bandanna and your in business. Be sure to get out there collect this plant and try using it in all of its applicable means as the more you know the less you have to carry with you. </div>

Self, each week I look for free ebooks in the survival/prepping/self-reliance/off-grid/homesteading genre why are you not sharing these with everyone else since you already are doing half the work anyway? Well my subconscious self had a good point so while I was downloading the books below last night I added them to my online store's reference section (<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/th7pssubl-20" target="_blank">find it HERE-LINK</a>) to save them until I could gain access to a laptop today. Thus a new weekly post is born and I will be posting free books each Friday that I find through the week (If you miss a post just check the store's reference section as I will add them there each week as well). Be sure to check the price before you hit buy as amazon can change prices on a whim but as of last night they were all free downloads! I hope you're able to get some use out of this weeks books and I will post a comment here if I find one I really like while reading this weekend! If you have AdBlocker you will need to turn it off to get the free books to load below. Just remember to refresh your browser to after you turn it off. <br />
