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!

January Club Meeting
January 24, 2014
Our first club meeting of the year. We will be meeting at the Pioneer Village in Provo on 600 N and 500 W in the old school house from 1800-2100. There will be hot chocolate, (eat before you come this time) and we will be talking about ways to communicate in a survival situation (Signals, Morse Code, Trail Markers, Ground to Air Signals, and Ham Radios). We will hand out information on how to get your Ham License and the best ways to study for the test.
If you are looking for a GREAT little Ham Radio then check this out! http://www.wildjakes.com/wj/Store.aspx
Go to the Communications link and look at the Baofeng BF-F8+ Radio

Here is a great story of how doing the right things can keep you alive, even in extreme conditions. It's wonderful that this family is alive and well when it could have turned out so differently. Good clear thinking on the part of the father kept this family alive.

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).
