If you want to Build Your Own Earth Oven you should own this book. Building my own cob oven is something I have been planning to build for a long time.
I really want an earth oven. I can almost taste the wood fired pizza as I sit here writing this.
The only reason I haven’t built one already is that I am not sure exactly where I want to put it. Each time I go to the land the desire for an oven like this grows. I see how useful it would be and I imagine a crispy oven fired pizza after a hard day of working.
I still have not decided on a spot, but the field narrows. I think that where I am going to put it still has not been cleared and it is uneven and full of brush.
But don’t let my problems keep you from learning how to build your own earth oven. These things are great and I have never heard of anyone being sorry they made one.
It does not cost a lot to build other than time and effort, and the book is very cost effective.
New York Biology Tea Tree oil review and some uses for the essential oil. #NewYorkBiology
AsI said in the video, I think this is some pretty good oil. The company has lots of essential oils available and the prices are a good deal.
I am using the oil as an antibacterial agent right now for a pretty persistent ear infection. Tea Tree oil is a antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral agent.
I would recommend stocking some in your medicine chest.
I use this as an antibiotic, and it works pretty well for me. Of course, I am not a doctor, so I am not qualified to give medical advice. Please do your own research and use common sense.
Studies have said this even works for ear infections, but those studies also suggest that undiluted oil can cause hearing loss.
I need to say that I received this product free for review, but the placement on this site was not paid.
Bulletproof: The Making of an Invincible Mind is vital to developing a warrior mindset. It helps you learn how to become resilient in times of disaster so that you can do what you need to do in order to protect your family and survive.Keeping a resilient mind is probably the single most important factor in survival.
You can have all the fancy gear and still panic.
Training is useful, but I have seen trained people freeze or panic. However, history is full of examples of untrained and unprepared people survive all manner of hardship by having a strong mind, but it is also full of lottery winners, If you want to increase your odds, then you need to train.
To me mindset is more important than expensive gear, which is why I have so many articles on it like Cooper’s Color Codes and WIN.
The longer I work in the correction field the more I see people with the proper attitude win against individuals that are stronger or meaner or tougher. In my field we call it command presence, but its nothing more than proper attitude and confidence.
This book is a great one to get you thinking about the topic – I would start off with Grossman’s work On Combat and everything by Cooper, and then finish up with this one.
There are a lot of books on the subject, but make sure to pick ones that are written by those that have actually done what they are talking about.
If you are going out into the wilderness, you should make sure you are going well prepared with the right items for survival. Sure, no one wants or expects to get into a life threatening situation. However, in the wilderness, anything can happen at any time. In this article, we have complied 7 must have items for wilderness survival; let’s get started!
A Survival Knife
The number one must have item is a survival knife. It has many uses in everyday activities. In case you happen to find yourself in a dire situation, your chances of surviving are increased if you have a knife.
Look for a sturdy and reliable survival knife which you can keep on your person. Consider getting a knife which has 4-5 inch carbon steel blade and flattened back edge. This type of knife can easily split kindling, skin an animal, filet a fish, and even cut through the forest and the vegetation.
The knife can also be used to; create weapons, open packages, create fire starters (like bowing a drill), build an emergency shelter (by cutting branches or cutting tarp), cut clothing for bandages (in case you do not have the first aid kit), and so much more. Keep in mind, your choice of knife is crucial to your survival.
A Heat Source
A means of making fire is essential when you’re out in the wilderness. Your survival may completely be dependent on whether you’ve the capability of creating a fire.
Match boxes are a great source of heat because they are an easy and quick way of starting a fire, keeping warm, finding way through the darkness, making emergency smoke signals, burning parasites like ticks, among many other uses. However, they can easily get ruined if it rains.
Therefore, it is wise to keep a water tight lighter available. Also within this realm, you might want to make sure to bring a good tactical flashlight. This will help for situations you might run into at night.
A Map and Compass
Although modern technology has brought about many changes in this area, when going out into the wilderness, you should always bring with you a map of that area and a compass. This is particularly important in case the area has poor cell coverage, or in case you experience technological glitches, or even accidentally damage your phone. A map and a compass might be the only tools that can lead you to a safe location. Learn how to read a map and navigate with the compass.
Some Sort of Shelter
Anytime you happen to enter the wilderness, you should carry with you a cover for unexpected overnight stay. A cover is something you should always bring with you even if you are just planning on a quick afternoon hike.
Having a cover which you can easily pull out and erect a shelter will help protect you from the rain, cold, animals, among others. Even a simple tarp which you can throw over the branches is enough. You should also consider bringing warm covering for your body.
Depending on where you get stranded, keeping warm might proof to be difficult, but it’s essential for survival. Make sure you bring warm, insulating clothing.
Cordage Rope
While it is possible to make ropes out of the plant materials, you do not want to waste valuable time with such unnecessary tasks. Bringing with you a strong rope can be of great help when it comes to making shelter, setting traps, or even climbing terrain.
A rope can also come in handy when you need to escape, or when you need to climb out of a potentially dangerous situation. Paracord will work great for this, and it doesn’t add too much weight.
Stainless Steel Water Container
You will most certainly need water when you are out in the wilderness. That being so, the type of water container you carry the water with can make all the difference. The ideal type of container to use is a stainless steel water container.
It’s not only durable, but it can also be put over the fire to melt snow or boil water, making it safe for drinking. Take a stainless steel water container which is sturdy enough and big enough to carry enough water for long treks.
First Aid Kit
When going out into the wilderness, you should carry a first aid kit with you at all times. It’s an essential item which should never be left in the car or at home. Make sure the kit has the basic first aid items like bandages, band aids, sterile gauze, tape, burn creams, ointments, scissors, soap, personal medications, among such other items.
It’s super important to make sure you’re as prepared as possible for the situation you’re putting yourself in. You don’t need to have everything you might need for any situation, because you have to keep in mind you have to carry all of it, but make sure you have the essentials.
Street E&E isn’t the best book I have ever read, but taken as part of a systematic education it is useful.
I do think every prepper needs some understanding of escape and evasion, but I also think it is easy to go too far with it.In this book, the author tells you how to survive when you’re outflanked and outgunned. Rather than clashing head-on with every problem that comes along, you need to learn to apply hit-and-run tactics, utilize the environment and use your enemies’ weaknesses against them.
This is something that can be pretty useful. However, I still would not recommend buying Street E&E until you have mastered more essential skills. It is in interesting thing to think about, and there are some useful tidbits in the book, but there is an element of Mall Ninja in the idea. Especially for us typical blue collar citizens.
There is no doubt that Animal MacYoung knows his stuff, but I think that in this case, the book is a captivating book title more than a finished work. There are probably much better sources of information for the same or similar money.
