Outdoor Survival Info

Archive for the ‘Information’ Category

When you are bugging out, or building your emergency gear kit, it’s important to have information at hand. When disaster strikes, you won’t be able to take a few hours to hop on the Internet and find the information you need to prepare or react. What if you already had it, and it was right there on your phone?

Check out the Bug Out Bag Book reference application for your Android-powered phone. It’s a mobile reference version of The Bug Out Bag Book, and holds the same valuable content that can help you build a personalized emergency gear kit.

Be prepared. Get the information you need to build a gear kit that works for you. The Bug Out Bag Book Android Application.

Don’t worry, the next episode of the OSI Podcast is going online in a day or two. It’s been a pretty busy week. Keep in mind that I haven’t decided on a production schedule yet, so it’s not actually late.

The ducks are coming! According to the recent satellite tracking, the ducks are finally starting to make it down from the North. Maybe I’ll be able to get a few this weekend. Keep your eyes peeled for the Podcast!

Don’t get enough outdoor and survival content from the blog alone? Your wait and your searching will soon be at an end!

OK, enough with the melodrama. I’m going to be putting together an outdoor and survival themed podcast. If you are a newsletter subscriber, you already know this. If not…now you know. Keep an eye on site (or just subscribe to the newsletter — on the left) to find out when the first episode is launched.

If you want to learn how to create a bug out bag that meets your needs, I’ve got a resource for you.

It’s The Bug Out Bag Book, and it’s packed full of bug out bag how-to. This book is all about building a bug out bag, from the bag all the way to optional accessories.

Not only will you get gear selection tips, but you’ll also get the “why” for everything that goes into your bag. You’ll know what to pack and why you packed it.

You’ll even get some “additional considerations” about how to customize the bag to your individual needs. Since people have different needs, it’s great to have a guide that discusses meeting those needs with your bug out bag.

Don’t wait around for some natural disaster to hit too close to home. Build a bug out bag now. Get the book, get your gear, and be prepared for whatever might come your way.

It’s always going to be worth the time and effort to prepare. You wear a seatbelt, don’t you? You keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire, right? Build a bug out bag and be ready in the event that disaster hits home.

Check it out here: The Bug Out Bag Book.

If you haven’t already, head over to the Survival Video page and check it out. Learn how to make shelters and see a bunch of other outdoor and survival oriented videos.

The video content is updated regularly, so check it out and see what’s there!

Notice the last Outdoor Survival Info newsletter? I’ve changed the subject line a little bit so that you can more quickly see what’s in the issue.

“Outdoor Survival Info” takes up a lot of space. So I’ve changed the format. From now on, the subject line will read “[OSI] – main article subject.” I think this will help you guys out a bit. You will be able to, at a glance, decide if the article is something you want to read now, later, or not at all.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

I’m writing a book all about the Bug out Bag. It’s a handy thing, yet many people know little or nothing about them, how to construct them, or why it’s a good idea to have one in your home.

The book will be an eBook, so it will be available for instant download. I don’t have an ETA yet, but it won’t be long. Two or three years, tops. Kidding. I’m kidding. I’ll let you guys know more as I figure it all out.

I’ll be selling the book, but a few of you will be able to get your hands on it for free. So keep an eye out for more details, a page about the book, teaser samples, and more.

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. I’ve been really busy working on projects — working too much. I’m looking at some new themes for this site, too. So if you see it change a bit here and there, drastically or just barely, don’t be alarmed.

Just keep reading and subscribe to the RSS feed.

I haven’t written anything here in a while, and there’s a pretty good reason for that. I’ve been busy working on a complete rewrite of my career education directory. I’ve been coding and designing non-stop for a few weeks now and it’s about to drive me insane.

So I’m taking a break. I hit a development goal late last night, so now I’m taking a break. Lots more to do, of course, but I can do that at a nice and easy pace.

Part of having a survival plan is figuring out how you are going to sustain yourself once the rations run out. If there is some disaster that has the potential to cut you off from civilization, or if it collapses entirely, then you need a plan.

Check out this article on How To Grow Your Own Food. It’s pretty good as a general overview, and from it you can find links to explore the details more. You need to have some kind of plan for when your survival rations run out. If you live in an area where you can have a garden, then consider growing your own food. We humans run pretty well on veggies, after all.
