Homestead Basics

An exploration of the philosophy of use, and other factors that make a knife…a survival knife.

I too have both of these knives. They are both great knives. I agree with the outcome as well. Good side by side comparisons.

Which knife is better, the SOG SEAL Pup or the Camillus Pilot Survival Knife? They’re similar in size but differ greatly in weight and blade material. The Camillus is much heavier due [...]

This is in a different language, but the knife is really cool. The demonstrations speak for themselves.

Don’t know what youtube has changed in the uploading process but this is the SIXTH try in uploading this video. Been at it for nearly a full DAY…… Part 1 of our new series on raising rabbits looks at equipment needed for rabbit raising as well as helpful hints in getting started. This series has [...]

Here is another EDC video. If your looking for something really bare bones, this is a decent setup.

This is the bare minimum of survival items that I carry every day-my Personal Survival Kit (PSK).

The Ready Project has survival food storage products worthy of a Chef’s Banquet. Visit our site for full details on our food storage.

Here’s my survival kit in a tin. Contents include a lighter, matches, ferro rod, button compass, alcohol wipes, bandages, fishing line, sinkers, hooks, jig, ear plugs that can be used as hearing protection or as floats/bobbers, tinfoil, orange marker tape, safety pins, can opener, razor blades, snare wire and duct tape.

I was back in Utah last week and had a chance to finally visit an Emergency Essentials store. It was great! I look through their catalog every time it comes in the mail, but to actually visit the store was a real treat. They had everything that was in their catalog, but it was nice [...]

This is me camping in a parateepee in the ravine behind my house. I’ve seen it illustrated in several survival manuals and this is my second time sleeping in one. It’s a basic procedure; make a tripod with poles, add to the tripod until the form is shaped, then take the parachute and fold it [...]

Hunting is as old as humanity-older, in fact-and as new as the latest high-tech gear they’re selling at your local sporting goods store. Fossil evidence indicates that early humans were hunting with spears as long as 16,200 years ago, and scientists estimate that we’ve been eating meat much longer than that-for nearly two million years, [...]

I know that it is probably not going to happen, but attacks have increased. I found this informative video on how to survive a killer bee attack. Great info on what NOT to do!

This is a review and demonstration on the SOG SEAL Pup knife. I’ve modified the sheath to make it into an urban survival knife by adding a fire steel rod, a sharpener, paracord, reflective and duct tape, and a fishing line and hook. This knife is light, balanced, and tough. The blade is made of [...]

Are you prepared for an emergency, such as a disruption in utilities or quarantine? How would you cook and wash yourself, what would you drink? Watch as we evaluate our emergency preparedness, as we live in our house for five days without electricity and water from our taps.

Mossberg has recognized that an effective addition to any type of survival kit, whether it be a hurricane survival kit or a general disaster survival kit is a reliable shotgun. While carrying a gun may not be the best option for some, many would agree that having a reliable defensive weapon can keep all types [...]

In a new series of video we discuss and will show methods of gardening “when it counts.” The first 3 short videos detail some of the pitfalls and perils to the common survival/preparedness thinking of “when my storage food runs out I’ll just grow a garden.” Intermixed throughout the first three videos are also invaluable [...]

Answer this as honestly as you can: can you survive an emergency with just your bare hands?  Probably not.  Most of us will require a weapon, a device or some gear of sorts in order to protect ourselves.  It’s a good thing that prepackaged survival tips are now being sold freely by retailers both online [...]

Here’s a shocker for you … martial arts are about survival.  Yep, that’s right.  The purpose of martial arts is to have the skill and knowledge to be able to do in the bad guy and still make it home in time to walk the dog.  Martial arts are not some trendy type of workout [...]
