Water is your most crucial survival resource. If it’s not frigid, you can go a day without food and shelter. However, 24 hours without water depletes your physical and mental strength, making it harder to complete the duties needed to survive. After three days without water, your body will shut down and die. Your body can circulate blood, process food, maintain body temperature (preventing hypo and hyperthermia), think clearly, and perform many other internal activities with two liters every day. Water is essential to life. Water may be found practically anywhere with a little knowledge. Today, we’ll discuss water-finding methods…

You can make a good bow quickly with these instructions. Quickie bows are carved from a sapling or branch. It is called a “quickie” bow because it is produced when the wood is harvested, rather than waiting a year or more for the wood to season (as is typical for ordinary bow building). This bow is immediately usable. As it dries out, the quickie bow may break. Carefully drying a quickie bow over a few months can make it a long-term bow. Picking wood Choose the suitable materials first. Osage orange, yew, ash, black locust, and hickory are good bow…
The information in this article should never come in handy. The best way to make it through an unplanned night in the woods is to never end up there in the first place. Still, you should always be prepared for the worst-case scenario. Check this out from Outside Online. So, let’s say it’s winter, and you’re skiing or snowshoeing in the backcountry, and you get lost or hurt. Maybe a storm you didn’t see coming comes, or the sun goes down, and you can’t get out safely. If it’s an emergency, you might want to stay where you are. Moving…

This is just a brief summary; it doesn’t go into detail about all the requirements and items needed in each category. Your brain is one of the most important parts of being able to stay alive. The most important survival skill is to NOT PANIC. Instead, use your brain and practice all of the five basic survival skills before you need to use them. Here are the basic skills…
Police pulled over a man in Florida who was driving a car with only two tires on it. He said that paranormal activity was to blame. Andres Orjuela-Montealegre, age 29, was stopped on an I-75 ramp near Marion Oaks at about 4 a.m. on October 23 after Marion County Sheriff’s deputies saw that the car’s hazard lights were on and that the driver’s side tires looked flat. The deputy then realized that the tires weren’t flat, but that they were missing and that Orjuela-Montealegre was “driving on what remained of the rim,” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook. When the deputy asked…
Election officials in Pennsylvania expect delayed results for the November general election since counties are still not allowed to open and scan mail-in votes before 7 a.m. on Election Day. However, Pennsylvania acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman assured reporters during a virtual press conference on Tuesday that “this delay does not mean anything nefarious is happening.” She continued, “It simply means that the process is working as it’s designed to work in Pennsylvania and that election officials are doing their job to count every vote.” Donald Trump, the former president, and his allies utilized the lengthy recount after the…
Outrage and concern that the extreme left is attempting to mainstream the sexualization of youngsters have been stoked by a raunchy video of an all-ages drag concert in Texas that featured sexually provocative dancing in front of children. After attending the event in Plano, Texas, Sara Gonzales, anchor of The News and Why It Matters at BlazeTV, said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday that the drag show was a part of a dangerous pattern she dubbed “sexual abuse of children.” She issued a warning that the extreme left is attempting to normalize the presence of kids at these kinds…
Could the whole world shut down yet again? The World Health Organization (WHO) and Uganda’s health ministry both announced on Tuesday that an epidemic of the relatively uncommon Sudan strain of Ebola had been declared in the country. In Uganda’s central Mubende district, a 24-year-old male experienced symptoms of Ebola before passing away from the Sudan starin. Uganda confirms an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Mubende District, Uganda.

Turning Point USA’s latest conference aimed to expose the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” was filled with an electric lineup. One of the keynote speakers at the event was former Trump advisor Steve Bannon who shared on various topics such as AI, Human 2.0, singularity, and more. In his speech, Bannon talked about how scientists and engineers are aiming for the singularity which in technology the singularity describes “a hypothetical future where technology growth is out of control and irreversible. These intelligent and powerful technologies will radically and unpredictably transform our reality.” So to put it simply AI will start…
NBA star Kyrie Irving has set the internet ablaze after uploading a video from 2002 that was produced by “conspiracy theorist” Alex Jones. When the Brooklyn Nets point guard uploaded the video on his Instagram of Jones talking about a ‘New World Order’ from twenty years ago on Thursday, it caused some people to raise their eyebrows. In the video, which is captioned “Never Forget – Alex Jones Tried to Warn Us,” Jones makes reference to a “New World Order” that would “unleash diseases.” Unvaccinated Nets star Kyrie Irving posts 2002 video titled ‘Alex Jones tried to warn us’ https://t.co/HGsgXJ3EBS…
According to statements made by Australian authorities on Tuesday, a man who was found dead in southwest Australia was murdered by a wild kangaroo that may have been kept as a pet. According to reports, this was the first time in Australia since 1936 when a kangaroo was responsible for a deadly assault. On Sunday, a member of the man’s family discovered him on his property suffering from severe injuries in semirural Redmond, around 250 miles southeast of Perth, the capital city of the state of Western Australia. According to the police, the kangaroo was shot dead by the police…
High school dances are some of the most awkward social events a kid will ever endure. Especially kids that aren’t super cool or good looking or outgoing. Just a whole lot of standing in the shadows with your nerdy friends, watching other people have fun and talk to the cute girls. I’m not sure if I described my own experience or literally every 80’s John Hughes movie. Either way, most of us grow up and grow out of the awkwardness eventually, often just in time for the crowning achievement of teen angst, the Senior Prom. Such a glorious display of…
The painfully woke Los Angeles Unified School District has faced mockery and criticism as it released a video that said suggesting junk food is bad for your health is based on “oppression”. The video was shared on the group’s Instagram page and was created by nutritionists Kera Nyemb-Diop and Blair Imani. In the clip, Nyemb-Diop says people should “eat without guilt” and would not consider whether food is healthy or not: “Instead of focusing on ‘good’ and ‘bad’ choices, try to approach food with neutrality in mind,” she tells viewers. The video, which is captioned “black nutritionist” opens with an…
As a man of a certain age, I love seeing older athletes compete. Tom Brady, the recently retired Roger Federer, the Williams sister, even Mike Tyson. There’s something about seeing older folks mix it up that just kind of get me jacked. Probably because while the body fails us eventually, that competitive fire rarely goes out. If you have an unhealthy competitive streak like me, it always burns. Sadly, so do my joints sometimes. I take care of myself and exercise regularly, but sometimes things still hurt for no apparent reason. Sometimes for very apparent reasons, like when I try…
I have never been on a cruise. Just never had the desire. Something about being on a ship without the ability to get off the ship, barring an unfortunate accident that doesn’t sit well with me. The experience some people had during covid didn’t help. Trapped on a boat, cramped living quarters, overflowing sewers, running out of food. Not to mention having to see the same people day in and day out. Pretty awful if you ask me. I have friends and family that swear by them though. Rave reviews about the food, activities, all the drinks. I do mean…
This time of year, along the drive on Interstate 5 north from Sacramento, you can usually see bountiful rice fields on both sides of the interstate, busy with the sounds of tractors and workers preparing the rice fields for the upcoming harvest. It is a vista that many of us have seen who have grown up in America’s heartland. Not this year. This year, along Interstate 5, you will see a depressing wasteland that is almost apocalyptic. This part of California was once an agricultural powerhouse. Now, it’s ‘just a wasteland’ — but the loss of rice fields depends largely…
A man who stabbed a stranger over 50 times because he claimed to have thought he was a werewolf has set up an online dating profile in which he falsely claims to have been “travelling” for two years. Pankaj Bhasin, 37, stabbed 65-year-old window store manager, Brad Jackson in a frenzied attack in Alexandria, Virginia, in July 2018. Bhasin attacked Jackson with such force that his neck was broken but he escaped serving prison time as he was found not guilty for reasons of insanity after his lawyers claimed he had a psychotic break and believed Jackson to be a…
The liberal university professor who wrote vile social media posts wishing the Queen suffered an “excruciating death” has doubled down on her comments. Uju Anya, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania sickened millions of people all over the world as they digested emerging news from the Palace that the Queen’s health was failing last Thursday. While the world hoped for the 96-year-old’s recovery, Anya wrote a despicable post on Twitter: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving, raping, genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating”. If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain…
Drugs are bad. No one should have to tell ANYONE that, but here we are anyway. Fentanyl is flowing in via China across the southern border, heroine is an epidemic, and liberal states and cities give slaps on the wrist for drug offenses. It’s out of control. Since drug abusers constantly need drugs, they constantly need money. What does that get you? More crime and violence. How do addicts get the money for drugs? There is some prostitution, some folks actually work, some steal, and many deal. One crazy Florida man took a little different approach for getting his drug…
Just to be clear, I am firmly #teampeople. I don’t believe in abusing animals, especially our domestic critters like cats and dogs, but if you want to have a burger, maybe some chicken wings, and wash it all down with a tall frosty glass of milk while wearing a fur coat, you do you. The leftists that are out there gluing their hands to the Starbucks counter can go pound sand. Animals were put on this earth to serve people! That doesn’t mean animals shouldn’t be allowed to fight back on occasion though, right? I’m not talking about a knockdown,…
We all see the state of the world, don’t we? Morality is at a low point in most of our lifetimes. There are fewer people in church, and fewer adults bringing their kids up in church. The results are palpable. Crime, inappropriate sexual behavior, and a general decay in the fabric of American society has been the result. Like they say, “you reap what you sow”, and America is currently reaping. The decline in church attendance can be blamed on a number of factors. Dual income households where some parents have to work on the weekend, kids being involved in…
Adding yet more proof to the truism that Chick-fil-a has the best employees by far of any fast-food restaurant is a recent video coming out of Fort Walton Beach, Florida. There, a woman with a baby was in the Chick-fil-a drive-thru line when someone started trying to carjack her. Rather than just watch or call the cops, or film it as many people now do, a brave young man working for the fast food chain leaped into action and defended the woman, coming to grips with the carjacker in full view of everyone waiting in the drive-thru line. Watch that…
As a kid in the 70’s and 80’s we had a lot to fear. Because of Saturday morning cartoons, rumors, and urban legends, and adults just messing with us in general, kids in the 70’s were almost guaranteed to meet one of several fates. Of course, the fates vary by geographic region, but for rural Northern Kentucky we knew what was likely to happen. We all feared nuclear war of course, probably for good reason, but motorcycle gangs, quicksand, Charles Manson, black widow spiders, earthquakes and abandoned wells were the greatest threats to our childhood and safety. Never mind that…
Ryan Reynolds seems like a great guy. He never spouts off about politics, never gets in trouble, is always funny and charming in interviews and media. Just seems like a dude you could crack a Molson with. He’s Canadian, otherwise I’d never drink a Molson. Reynolds is also an entrepreneur, as he owns his own mobile phone company, Mint Mobile, a low-cost provider that’s an alternative to the big companies. He also famously purchased a Football Club in North Wales named Wrexham with buddy Rob McElhenney from “Always Sunny in Philadelphia” fame, also a very likeable, relatable dude. They turned…
The world is being dragged kicking and screaming into a “green” future of windmills, solar panels, rolling blackouts, energy shortages and likely starvation, but look on the bright side; maybe we will have a little more glacial ice and a few richer politicians that invested in green energy companies. Awesome! Electric vehicles are the linchpin of the green movement. We are being sold on the idea of a zero-emission vehicle being integral to stopping climate change. Of course, no one wants to address how these vehicles are being built, where the rare battery materials are being mined, and how we…
Last night, thousands of well-wishers lined the streets of central London and gathered outside Buckingham Palace as the Queen made her final journey home. Rain drizzled atmospherically onto the black hearse which displayed the late monarch’s coffin draped in a Royal Standard as mourners quietly paid their respects. Her daughter, Princess Anne had accompanied her mother on her final journey to London and looked visibly distraught as her mother passed into the gates of the Palace for the last time. The Queen’s coffin arrives at Buckingham Palace to the sound of applause from the crowd who have gathered to watchhttps://t.co/Orxz65sc6I…
Pieper Lewis, a seventeen-year-old from Iowa, had initially been charged with first-degree murder for stabbing 37-year-old Zachary Brooks 30 times, resulting in his death, but has instead been released on close supervised probation and ordered to pay $150,000.00 in restitution to his family. Her crime? Self-defense against a man more than twice her age who raped her repeatedly. An Iowa child who was 15 years old when she stabbed her 28 year old rapist to death in 2020 as he forcibly trafficked her to other men has been ordered to pay her rapist’s family $150,000 in restitution for their loss.https://t.co/7O0xMKAXdG—…
George Lazenby who previously portrayed spy-action-man, James Bond has split opinions after he made some ‘offensive’ comments during an interview in Australia. The 83-year-old was forced to apologize after he offended the live Australian audience who had turned out for the James Bond concert tour. Lazenby, who played 007 in the 1969 movie, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, attended The Music of James Bond event at the Perth Concert Hall on Sunday evening. He was interviewed in front of a live audience on Saturday, but he was promptly canceled from attending the rest of the tour after members of the…
A teacher in Texas was fired after she was caught on tape telling students not to pass judgment on those who want to “have sex with five year olds”. Amber Parker, 53, who was an English teacher at Franklin High School in El Paso was filmed telling kids not to “judge” pedophiles, but to instead refer to them as “minor attracted persons”. The clip, which was posted to video sharing platform, TikTok caused outrage, as Parker can be heard telling students to “stop calling them that”. “You’re not allowed to label people like that. Stop it, Diego. We’re not gonna…
Meghan Markle ranks pretty high on the list of unlikeable people. Her incessant complaining about being oppressed while attaining multi-millionaire status. Her insisting that she confronts racism everywhere she turns, yet was able to snag a prince whose family threw her a lavish wedding. Her begging for privacy at the same time granting interviews, writing books, hosting a podcast, and filming a Netflix special. Not bad for someone who claims to be suffering. One person who has weighed in on all things Meghan is former Real Housewife of New York City Bethenny Frankel, who took to TikTok to opine on…
Too many of us appear to be ignoring the literary greats that have stood the test of time and have proven to be more in the way of prediction manuals than entertainment or works of fiction. What kind of foresight did these literary geniuses have that seems to have skipped over most of us? Just what message did Orwell mean to convey when he penned Animal Farm? Think about what happens to Boxer after he collapses due to his injuries. Boxer and the other animals believe he can finally retire in peace. But that isn’t what happens. Much to our…
In 1994, Herman Williams was convicted by an Illinois court for the murder of his ex-wife after she was found at the bottom of a pond a few days after going missing. She, Penny Williams, died from blunt force trauma to the head and suffered defensive injuries. The couple had two kids at the time, aged three and six. Mr. Williams, a Petty Officer in the Navy at the time, was locked up after she went missing and treated as the only possible suspect in the case despite there being other leads, leads that were subsequently ignored by the police.…
I don’t understand for the life of me how successful people can be so stupid sometimes. It’s 2022 and what you can/cannot and should/should not say are pretty well defined. We all know what to stay away from in terms of race, gender, sexuality and the like, still people continue to open their mouths and insert their entire legs. Sometimes there is ill and racist intent, because some people are just terrible people. However, when a high profile, successful businessman opens his mouth and something racist comes out, good chance it was just stupidity as opposed to intent. No matter,…
The expression “not all heroes wear capes” is a bit overused, no? Of course not all heroes wear capes. Most people in general have never even owned a cape, no less wore one. In fact, since most heroes, at least real ones, are our military, our police, first responders and the occasional good Samaritan, I’d venture to say NONE of them were wearing capes. Don’t fact check me, cause there’s always an outlier. How about a happy story today? How about some real heroism, even if no capes were involved? What would you do if you saw a house on…
What’s up with the animal kingdom lately? You have snakes crawling in people’s ears, elephants attacking people, lions, tigers, and alligators doing what they do. Bears have become increasingly aggressive and comfortable around people. I even had a squirrel give me a sideways look the other day. It’s unsettling at best. Most of the animal kingdom has inherent physical advantages over humans. They can run faster, climb higher, jump farther, and are much stronger than people. Thank goodness for our higher brain functions or we would all be lunchmeat! Except Democrats. The buffet is open there. As far as the…
As the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who died “peaceful” at Balmoral Castle in Scotland last week, countless stories are being recounted as we remember just how calm, collected, and unbreakable the monarch was in times of crisis. No incident reflects the late Queen’s calm in the face of adversity more than the time a drunk civilian managed to break into Buckingham Palace and wander into the Queen’s bedroom as she slept before sitting on the edge of the monarch’s bed with a piece of broken glass in his hand. The heart-stopping and bizarre event sparked concern…
Former CNN reporter Brian Stelter who used to be the host of the show “Reliable Sources,” revealed on Monday that he had been awarded a fellowship at Harvard. In a tweet, Stelter announced his new employment opportunity at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Harvard University. Stelter would go on to write in his tweet: “Personal news: I’m joining the @ShorensteinCtr at Harvard Kennedy School.” “Beginning in the fall, I will be serving as the Walter Shorenstein Media and Democracy Fellow, during which time I will facilitate conversations, some of which will…
According to reports coming from American intelligence officials on Friday, Chinese companies are currently gathering genetic data from all over the world as part of an effort being made by the Chinese government and companies to develop the largest bio-database in the world. A new paper published by the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, the United States needs to improve its security measures for critical technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, semiconductors, and bioeconomy. Michael Orlando, acting director of the counterintelligence center, an arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, went on record saying China and…
Sherrif Woody once famously complained of a snake in his boots. Sam Jackson had an issue with some snakes on a plane. Indiana Jones hated snakes. Ice Cube wrangled with an anaconda. I can’t lie, I hate snakes. I don’t watch movies that prominently feature them, I won’t go in the reptile house at the zoo, and if I see a snake in nature I’m out. I don’t care if most are beneficial to the environment, they freak me out. This probably stems from the fact that I grew up on a farm and had numerous run ins. Ever step…
