This week I’ll be on vacation for the Rivercane Rendezvous which is a primitive skills gathering in Georgia. But I’m working hard to make sure I still have an article everyday while I’m gone. While on vacation I also want to stick to my paleo diet. So I’m going to be making and dehydrating some meals for the week. I’ll show you what I’ll be taking and how to make them.
Just a quick post today guys. I came across this tip a few weeks ago and it has already saved me. It’s a quick and easy way to fix a zipper that wont stay up. You only need two items that you can find anywhere. A paperclip and a key ring! Let me show you why you should add these two items to your every day carry.
Today I went to the woods to shoot video of my first time making and starting fire using the feather stick method. I thought I knew how to make one. I was wrong. What ensued was frustration ans failure. A feather stick is shaving curls into a stick so that they will catch a spark and start a fire without using tender brought in. I had seen them used and did not bother to truly learn the technique. I tend to be big on taking action instead of getting trapped in analysis paralysis. I did however learn how NOT to make one today.
Today I’m going to talk about the Paleo diet. I’ve been eating a paleo style for over a year at this point and love it. I honestly cannot imagine ever going back to eating another way. It’s great for weight loss which is a big reason I chose it. Paleo has been proven to reverse or put into remission a great number of the autoimmune diseases that are spreading throughout the world. The basic premise is to attempt to replicate the diet of our ancient hunter gatherer ancestors.
This past week I had a chance to attend a handgun training course offered by Condition 1 firearms academy. The two main instructors were Justin Coyle and Darryl McCreary. Also in attendance for training were Andrew Gervais of Liberty Tactical Supply, Frank Maschhoff Jr and Zach Hall all very experienced shooters and great instructors. It was an incredible experience. The class was aimed at the beginner shooter to get them comfortable handling a firearm and a preparation for a handgun safety course. It was taught with the premise that the students had no previous training.
