Really Great Survival Knife: Cold Steel 3V SRK Fixed 6-Inch Blade Knife

by

Flashback.

– Cold Steel 3V SRK Fixed 6-Inch Blade Knife:

Description:

Survival & Rescue operations demand a versatile knife able to withstand the most extreme conditions. Simply put, the Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) was designed specifically with this in mind. A popular knife with Military and Tactical Law Enforcement Personnel, the SRK is the standard issue knife of the Navy SEALS for their BUDS – or Basic Underwater Demolition training – the SRK has proved its worth time and time again in the most demanding environments. Whatever the mission, we’re confident that the SRK is the knife for you!

Excellent survival knife, but if you want to use your knife only for hunting, then the Master Hunter is probably the best choice out there:

– Cold Steel 36CC 3V Master Hunter Fixed Blade Knife ($99.80)

http://www.coldsteel.com/3v-master-hunter.html ($199.99)

If this really is a 3V SRK, then this is a bargain (that is hard to believe, but then the Master Hunter also looks incredibly cheap. Am I missing something?):

@Amazon.com: Cold Steel 3V SRK Fixed 6-Inch Blade Knife ($128.05)

http://www.coldsteel.com/3v-srk.html ($254.99)

Sadly, unlike the Gerber LMF II ($78.21), the 3V SRK is not equipped with a pointed buttcap that is made of stainless steel, but I still prefer the 3V SRK.

Find North using a Wrist-watch and the Sun – Navigation without a Compass (Video)

by

Something I missed out: At 12oclock the hour hand is on 12, so there’s no angle to bisect, well the sun at 12oclock is /usually directly south, so the 12 oclock mark itself is your north/south line. Although you could also just wait half an hour and you’ll have an angle to bi-sect. Such an important skill, make sure you have this skill under your belt. 2eZ If you carry a functioning analog wrist watch, then you can use it to find your north & south line. A little known trick, but very handy. Hold your watch flat and point the hour hand towards the sun. Bisect the angle between the hour hand and the twelve o’clock mark to get the north-south line. North will be the direction furthest from the sun. You can also use a digital wrist watch, but you have to create imaginary clock hands. Alternatively, you can arrange sticks in a way that will mimic the face of an analog watch. Position the sticks to represent the current time. Note: This method only works in the Northern Hemisphere. If you are in the Southern hemisphere, then point the twelve o’clock mark towards the sun. The mid point between twelve o’clock mark and the hour hand will be your north south line. North will be the direction FURTHEST away from the sun.

Everyday carry (EDC) gear – what I carry

by

– Everyday carry (EDC) gear – what I carry:

One of the topics of discussion with preppers has always been about what you should carry with you every day – in other words, your EDC gear. As I’ve said many times, the best gear in the world is useless if you don’t have it with you when you need it. For example, a $9 pocket knife is a much more effective weapon than an AK-47 in your gun safe at home. The problem is that you can’t carry everything, so you need to prioritize. This is a lot easier, and more difficult, than you may think.

Basic Bushcraft Skills

– Basic Bushcraft Skills:

Nature contains all the resources that we need in order to survive, but the trick is knowing what to do with them. When hiking, camping, or living in the great outdoors, one must have the skills to use his surroundings to his advantage. This set of skills is called bushcraft, a group of interrelated skills that can help you survive and thrive in the wild with nothing but nature at your side.

Bushcraft decreases your dependence on store-bought supplies. So even if they run out, there is no need to panic because you are confident in your ability to use the natural resources at your disposal. It also makes you more prepared to face unexpected challenges along the way. Although bushcraft focuses more on wilderness survival, the same logic can be applied in an urban setting in terms of using your surroundings.

Here are some basic bushcraft skills that you should know:
