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 [...]
My wife and I store our onions this way. Works great putting them in the freezer and makes them handy for cooking. A side tip is that we also store our peppers this way. Great for cooking with green and red peppers.

I just finished a conversation with a friend that I found disturbing and thought I would share.
Due to the economy he has decided to purchase land and build a bunker. He stated he wanted to be like me. Just for the record, we are not “bunker” people! We are prepared homesteaders, there is a difference. [...]
John Cassidy takes us through the basic points of building an urban flock. Stop by Hollygrove Market and Farm on Satruday’s from 10-2 to visit the chickens and get a box of food.

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).

Urban farming is becoming so popular in Sydney, the City Council has enlisted a community gardening coordinator, as Michael Mobbs explains.
Here at Homestead Basics we have a one year supply of food, six months of water, and a decent financial reserve. Today I was down at NAPA purchasing everything to do an oil change on our Project HOSS. I cant believe I never thought of this, but I don’t have many supplies for vehicle maintenance. Remember that your food storage and other reserves are not just for if the world goes down in flames, but what if your job goes south? What if you get injured enough, you cant work full time? NAPA was running a sale on filters, so I purchased a case. I also purchased eight cases of oil. That is enough to change the oil every two months for each of my vehicles (My wife’s suburban or HOSS).
I love fruit. I really love Cuties during the winter months. I eat up to four a day. I have been throwing the orange peels into the compost bin all winter. I peeled one last week while driving around and left the peel on the floorboard and forgot to grab it as I got out. The next day, my truck smelled very pleasant, so that got me thinking about other uses for the peel. I hit the world wide web and came up with this:

I was so impressed when I watched this video. I was jealous of the freedom. I did not think I would be. Here I live fairly well, I don’t owe anyone for anything-except my house. Then when I watched this video, I must admit, it really stirred things up. How wonderful it would be to be totally self sufficient and owe nothing for everything I have.
Now this post is right up my alley! Chocolate! Just saying it makes my mouth water, but did you know the true benefits of chocolate? I found a great article over on the Survival Spot blog explaining the benefits of chocolate.

There has been a lot of derogatory talk lately about “preppers” and “survivalists” and I’d like to take a minute to point out 10 reasons why preppers and survivalists have always been vital to the United States and why it is essential that we have as many as possible to survive future disasters.

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, [...]
Rammed earth construction is gaining in popularity with home owners seeking to build Eco-friendly. Rammed Earth Construction is basically using the dirt under your feet, or from a local quarry to build a wall, house, shop, or anything else you can think of. Its a great concept since it doesn’t require brick, wood, quarried stone, etc to be used and transported. Everything is local!
