Imagine you’re lost in the wilderness and don’t have any means of hunting. You don’t have anything to help you fish. You might end up eating those creepy crawlers under your feet. That’s right – bugs! In fact, bugs and insects can be very healthy. They are a great source of protein while low in carbohydrates and fats. In fact, one study showed that an ounce of crickets was a better source of protein than an ounce of beef!

There are few things in survival that are more important than water. The body can survive without food for a few days, but it cannot go for more than a few hours without hydration. The availability of water can make or break you, as this is something that will determine how you operate and just how long you can last. Of course, in the wilderness, water is more available if you know where to look. But evacuation may not be an option, which means that you have to hunker down near a water source. Here are some tips on how to prep on a budget: Take an Inventory of your Supplies The first thing I recommend is to take a full inventory your current supplies.

The crossbow became the weapon of choice because of its versatility and accuracy.

Circuit Court Judge Patrick Fiedler took that position in a case involving a group of families who boarded their cows on a single farm. He said that, in effect, the farm had become a dairy farm and was therefore subject to state rules governing dairy farms. “It is clear from their motion to clarify that the plaintiffs still fail to recognize that they are not merely attempting to enforce their ‘right’ to own a cow and board it at a farm,” Judge Fiedler wrote in his decision. “Instead, plaintiffs operate a dairy farm.” |
