    Starting Camp Fire With Wet Wood

    What Would You Want

    Sorry but I just have a hard time understand these types of questions. If a person is that stupid to be in a wilderness setting and not have but one item on his person. Best thing to do is find a comfy place to lay down and wait for the inevitable. There is no good answer for the situation that...

But one pike took my buzzbait and the other slipped the hook right on the bank. The one that took my buzz bait is the one i'm upset about, I hope it was able to free...

    Fishing bluegill beds

    I like using ice jigs with a very small mistertwister. Once they catch on and slow down I just add a waxworm and it's game on again. The first couple cast through the beds needs no live bait at all, they will hit just about anything...I love it.

    Punk Wood And Empty Bic Lighter

    Never throw away an empty Bic lighter, it's like a mini firesteel. Just a small modification is all that is needed to make the Bic usable. First remove the metal wind screen from the outside of the lighter. Next remove the button that controls the gas flow, that's about it. If anyone would like...

    Best resource for learning foraging skills?

    Buy a field guide of wild edible plants and go for it. Many good books out there that have drawings and pics.

    Hiking At Night!

    In Ohio doing any spotlighting even without a gun from a vehicle is illegal, that's to bad. I understand why but if you have no gun what is the harm?

    Would you be willing to do a survival show?

    I would do it but I need gear with me and would show how to use that gear. I would want food to carry so I wasn't killing the native species. No need for that when you are pretending to survive for a few days. Show more skills and less walking.

    Freezing temps and outside pets!

    As heart breaking as that may be it does happen and we can't save them all. If you fill the situation needs attention then make a call for your own peace of mind. As long as the dog has shelter, food and water not much can be done about being tied 24/7.
