Welcome!

Hi and thanks for visiting my blog. I thought that it would be fun to start an open forum of survival topics and outdoor skills that others can refer to for information and instruction. I will post a survival topic or skill and give some information on it. I will also be posting excerpts from my survival manual that I have been writing. Feel free to comment on it, or ask about a topic that I have not yet covered. Even professionals can learn a new way to do something. In this way we can all help each other. If you have a specific experience that you would like to share please feel free to do so at your own risk of others' comments. If you disagree with someone please be civil and respectful. One last thing, please keep it "G" rated i.e., no foul language or inappropriate subjects. If you break the rules I will pull your post. So let's keep it clean and have some fun!

Mike's Bow!




Just got done making my first bow. Jake has been helping me learn how to make bows from boards for a while now. I've learned about the designing beginning process of bow-making, along with the design flaws that I sadly experienced as well. This was my third attempt at making a bow this is a 40 pound bow at 28 inches. This 68 inch long self bow is made of hickory with a zebra wood handle. The string, which he also taught me how to make is a Flemish splice design and allows for easy stringing and unstringing. Check out these pictures and sign up for one of his classes to learn to do the same thing!
