Text of the page (random words):
exponentially more complex tasks the simple fact is once an emergency commences it s too late to plan for that emergency at that point you re stuck reacting whether you are reacting in blind panic as things occur in the often futile hope that something will work or you are reacting to anticipated stimulus with planned effective courses of action is dependent on whether you planned and prepared or not sit down preferably with your spouse and any children in the household old enough to contribute to the discussion and consider what the top three most likely local disasters are so you can make effective plans to confront those when they occur packing a rifle and a plate carrier in your vehicle every time you leave the house is utterly fucking pointless if you don t even bother keeping extra blankets and bottled water in your car in case of a breakdown or emergency that precludes getting home too many americans today try entirely too hard to shield their children from reality obviously a major part of the responsibility of being a parent is to protect our children but keeping them blind to reality does not achieve that instead it leaves them victim to circumstance prepare your children by having them contribute to the planning and preparation at whatever level they re capable of that is probably a significantly greater level than you anticipate it can range from helping to brainstorm solutions to helping organize and pack equipment when it s time to act on the planning your children from toddler to teen are less likely to panic and more likely to help you and themselves if they ve been given ownership in the process as you plan responses identify battle drills and create actionable plans that can be practiced by all members of the family as a family discuss your plans in our wildfire response plan an example of this can be seen in our plans for gathering and moving the horses while i am hooking up the trailer and moving it to a loading position the older two kids task is to catch halter and tie the horses in the corral so they re ready to be loaded when i get the trailer hooked up and moved meanwhile the youngest the boy is tasked with getting the other animals caught and tied and start moving their food and dishes to a pre determined point to be loaded in the truck as well discuss your intended rendezvous locations in case the family is not all together when disaster looms discuss emergency contacts both in the area and outside of the area discuss specific courses of action that every member of the family should take in the case of each of the three emergency scenarios again toddler to teenager especially if they re ever away from your immediate physical control such as at daycare or school or even with a babysitter while you are doing something else involve your kids in this planning allow them to express their concerns and ask questions allow them and encourage them to contribute ideas and possible solutions no matter how initially outlandish those may seem in a worst case scenario you can always take the time to explain why their concern is groundless or why their solution to a scenario may be sub optimal that s how they learn important considerations ask some critical questions during your planning read the rest and join the conversation here https www patreon com posts general 3mar2025 123877650 utm_medium

like land navigation or fire building where even the most amateur outdoorsman believes he is far more skilled than objective testing shows them to be while the non outdoorsman looks at it as some sort of epigenetic skill available only to a small population of indigenous peoples there are both legitimate experts and almost clueless amateurs writing entire books on the subject in practice tracking can range from rural kids trying to follow small game animals to military and law enforcement personnel pursuing dangerous armed fugitives there are dozens if not hundreds of books on the subject ranging from the educational and useful to the most absolute utterly useless bullshit there are numerous classes around the country ranging from quality instruction in mantracking by experienced combat trackers like john hurth and david scott donelon and local courses put on by search and rescue teams to nonsense i learned from an old indian courses taught by self professed experts who couldn t track a muddy labrador retriever through a hospital 1 in this series of articles i will discuss both the psychological and mental aspects of tracking as well as the practical including specific techniques as well as training and practice methods while this series is not specifically focused on mantracking we will discuss aspects of that as well as tracking game and other animals my introduction to tracking as a practical skill came about because of reading as i read various fiction and nonfiction accounts of the american westward expansion i would regularly come across references to tracking both mundane and even to a young impressionable pre teen boy obviously fanciful nonsense growing up in the woods as i did any apparently useful skill was of interest to me and tracking seemed like one that should exist near the top of the pyramid in pursuit of practical real world knowledge i would ask the adults around me for advice and guidance often to meet responses like tracking is a lost art others were honest enough to admit i don t know anything about it while a few claimed to know a great deal about tracking but could only point out the most rudimentary things like the difference between a whitetail deer s track and a cow track or the difference between a dog s track and that of a feline join the conversation here https www patreon com posts

veteran of both cole range and the star course i feel it is incumbent on me to point out to my fellow alumni of those land navigation courses that what will follow in this series will not always adhere to us army doctrine while elements of it will for obvious reasons those deviations from what might be found in the appropriate field manuals student handbooks and unit doctrine are a result of personal experience and education utilizing methods that i have either found superior in application or that make the learning process simpler and easier there may be the right way the wrong way and the army way but sometimes the army way is fucking stupid jm while i have long been suggested that most american outdoorsmen do not possess a fraction of the map and compass expertise they suppose they do the inescapable fact is that each year an even smaller percentage of hunters and backpackers rely on this older means of wayfinding this is a result not of a return to more traditional reliable primitive route finding methods but instead a growing reliance on such technological crutches as gps and gps based phone apps like onx and caltopo for outdoor travelers in more settled regions or those places like national parks that expect regular visits from untutored urbanites many travelers even rely on route numbers and posted trail signage why bother with a map and compass when i already have my phone with me and besides the trails are clearly marked setting aside the sheer stupidity of relying as a means of finding your way to shelter and safety on something as battery draining as the modern smartphone there is a simple reason while not as reliable as even more prehistoric means the fact is that map reading for at least the last one hundred years has been an essential piece of the education of any serious outdoorsman and it should be for any human being 1 whether you consider yourself an experienced hunter hiker or backpacker if you cannot read a topographical map proficiently accurately and rapidly you re one wrong turn away from becoming a statistic 2 if you are the typical hunter or fisherman you may have done most or even all of your traveling to the deer stand or the secret honey hole through rote familiarity with the routes unless you ve relied on a local experienced guide instead as you gain more and more experience in the same general hunting areas the lay of the land and the most obvious landmarks quickly become engraved in your subconscious working mind if you are competent enough to recall them later when it comes time though to traverse new territory or you find yourself turned around and confused by the unfamiliar appearance of familiar landmarks if you happen to have obligations that require you to return home hearty and hale from the wilderness by a given date you will probably need to come to rely to some degree at least on map and compass work for route finding for those interested in learning and mastering the more traditional primitive navigation methods we ve been discussing then a practical familiarity with map and compass can lead to a degree of confidence that provides you the freedom to learn similarly even if you intend to rely on technological methods of navigation simply possessing a map and compass without the knowledge of how to properly use them is not in any way shape or form a suitable emergency backup fortunately not only is navigation with map and compass extraordinarily useful it is also interesting and entertaining to learn when approached properly map study and compass use translates well to a variety of subjects games and even competitions to pique curiosity and interest for those of us with children learning to navigate with map and compass can help them more readily internalize and learn lessons in geography geology language arts and mathematics as well as history read the rest here and join the conversation https www patreon com posts fieldcraft map

whether free or on a paid tier what is keeping you from subscribing there is there something i can do to provide more value than the articles i ve been producing for close to 15 years on real world experiential preparedness that would convince you to join us there 2 comments february 12 2025 campfire chats 10feb2025 never show alternate ways to tie knots now my head is all fucked up trying to tie them new ways the alpine butterfly is stupid simple for me when i use the hand wrap we used to use a directional inline figure 8 for inline knots which was a pia for me hahahahaha you re welcome i ve always used the handwrap method for the butterfly but when i was shown the twist method it made sense and it s way quicker and simpler give it a try a couple times i typically use terrain association while hunting only twice i had to pull out my compass to figure out what direction i had to go during the day once the clouds dropped to the horizon and i couldn t see the mountains to my west and i was in a big flat mash and the second time i got caught in a blizzard i always carry a compass for just those reasons before gps was affordable while hiking in a remote location via a known trail on a topo map i would compare my elevation on ground where the contours lines on the map crossed the trail it can help locate your position on the map terrain association is the foundation of all land navigation even when i m using stellar or solar navigation for direction finding i m noting local landmarks as both directional reference points and for future reference if when i return to the same place in the future using altimeters and contour interval lines to establish location is absolutely legit i ve used it on multiple occasions to confirm my location in the mountains when my intersection resection wasn t as concrete as i d like on the other hand i ve also had issues with traditional altimeters in lieu of gps based altimeters when a storm is brewing because of the changes in barometric pressure read the rest https www patreon com posts campfire chats 122079179 utm_medium clipboard_copy utm_source copylink utm_campaign postshare_creator utm_content join_link leave a comment february 12 2025 general preparedness 10feb2025 a good number of people probably most in the modern western world have long since abandoned bound paper notebooks for journal keeping in favor of the various notetaking organizing and so called productivity apps available for the pocket computers that most of us carry around with us all day every day my first recollection of using a computer for journal keeping hearkens back to childhood and the situation comedy featuring a very young neil patrick harris doogie howser md at the end of each episode there would be a screen shot of the character recording his thoughts on the events on his computer there are allegedly a number of extremely useful such apps although my only experiences with them left me more than unimpressed whether with calendar date book versions or simpler note taking programs for me and given the resurgence in popularity of traditional bound paper journals i m far from alone on this hilltop they simply offer nothing that a properly organized notebook journal doesn t while suffering numerous very real drawbacks read the rest https www patreon com posts general 122079184 utm_medium clipboard_copy utm_source
