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!

October/November's Club Meeting
What: Wild Jake's Club Meeting
Where: Pioneer Village @ North Park in Provo Utah 500 North 500 West
When: 1 November 2013
Why: To understand the importance of this skill
How: by demonstration (Wild Jake's Survival Institute)
From: 1800-2100
We have a conflict of interest this month so I will have to move the Club meeting to the 1 of November. This month we will meet at the Pioneer village down in north park in Provo. We will be talking about Flint Knapping and we will have a demonstration. The village is on the north west side of the park. You can park on 500 West.
We will not be able to cook any meals so bring something that you can eat on the fly or fill free to stop and try one of our many establishments here in the Valley on your way to the meeting. (you are welcome to bring it with you to the meeting as well)
We will also be providing a service project for our use of the village (picking up trash and bringing down a canopy for the winter).
