No video until late this week / early next week. We’ll be going back to the garden to see what effect the tomato pruning had. Will also be working on rehabbing some of my old traps, checking out the rather comical result of the water collection “big tank” project, and talking about whatever else comes up from now until then. Have a great week!

Every Day Carry (EDC) Introduction
Today I’ll take you through the tools I carry on a daily basis to help me do the things I need to get done. Obviously my EDC can vary from day-to-day based on the job at hand, or the environment I’m going to find myself in. But generally speaking, this is what I have with me most of the time. This isn’t THE ULTIMATE EDC LIST. What’s right for me probably won’t be exactly right for you. This is what works for me.

Fixing a Water Collection Tank and the Self-Sufficient Mindset
Click the link to subscribe and to be notified when new videos are posted. The “big tank” in my water collection system has partially collapsed due to an insufficient base assembly. I can’t bang it back out with a shovel handle or a 2×4. What to do? Throw it out and get a new one? Not likely. Where brute force fails, I use physics and a little rustic ingenuity to get the job done. And I was only a little nervous about blowing myself up in the process. Not everyone is going to face this specific problem. The point is taking a self-sufficient approach to solving your challenges. Overcoming. Adapting. Finding a way to get it done. Trivia question: Why

2014 Spring Gobbler Season
Some daddy / daughter time. We take out a coyote (off camera) that’s stalking a couple of hens. And, eventually, we harvest our bird for Spring Gobbler season.
The Coming Week
I’ll have the opportunity to film some camping/bushcraft videos over the coming days. Check back late next week for some killer content.
