    Tumpline

    Cordage

    Cordage is a good thing to have in a survival situation. Any type of wire, rope, string, twine, or line of any type will be useful, but stronger rope is better. It can be used for multiple purposes like lashing things together, building shelter, carrying and moving items, climbing, making a...

Storing food may seem like a daunting and expensive task, but I found a list by “AZPrepper” which makes things easier for you.

    Animal Tracking

    Bushcraft Shelter?

    So during my travels, when I find a place I would like to stay, I am going to go into the woods and build a shelter. I was going to dig about 3-4ft down and then build a moss roof and just try to conceal it as much as possible. My question is, has anyone tried something similar to this? If so...
