Texas Bushcraft's Forum

Anytime there is a disaster or a mass shooting or something that causes ammo to go out of stock quickly, I hit my online sources. The day after the tragic school shooting in Connecticut, after I cried for about 20 minutes, I logged onto Sportsmens guide and ordered a bunch of ammo. Much of it came v...

I have always loved this pistol but strangely have never gotten my hands on one. Sometimes you get a design that is an amalgamation of many designs and it manages to take the best from all and to make a piece that is better than the piece that it was based upon.

I can usually find good and fine dry cedar park and I have been successful with that with a ferro rod. Smokie...

with the proper "burrito" wrap or the diamond bedroll wrap, I would go about 35 in calm weather, with clean fresh long johns and sock. Our goal was to use the fire in front and our emergency blankets in a half shelter to reflect the fire's heat down to us. I would have been confident to about 25 deg...

Two packs. One with a Blanket from Alpaca Warehouse and an older Early’s Whitney 5 point blanket (the traditional one was the Whitney
