Need to tie something weird to something weirder? Try a sheet bend!
Using rope or cord to tie things together is as old as the hills, and it’s an inescapable skill set for every outdoor adventurer. You’ll need to know reliable and useful knots for building shelters, camp gear, traps and many other necessities in the wilderness. What follows is one of my favorite knots, which can allow me to tie almost anything to almost anything else. Try it for yourself!

You’ve only got three days without water, or three hours without this…
Lost in the wild – daylight is fading – what are you supposed to do first? Forage for roots and berries? Not hardly! You’ve got to take care of your survival priorities, which are easier to understand when you get a handle on the “Rule of Three’s”.
Chandler Bownds is a World Champion Bull Rider from Lubbock, Texas. He is a three-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier and an ERA World Champion Bull Rider, as well. Competing on the rodeo circuit occupies the bulk of his time, attending between 130 and 140 events per year, but he finds time for some hunting, too. Tune in this week as he talks with Jim and Trav about two bear hunts he went on last year and, more specifically, his Alberta, Canada spot and stalk hunt. www.cinchjeans.com

Bite them – before they bite you!
With the unseasonably warm weather of late, all the hungry little bugs out there seem to be way ahead of schedule. One of my daughters received a nasty spider bite last week, the other one just pulled the first tick a few days ago, and yesterday – I just received my first mosquito bite of the year. This all leads me to my point – it’s never too early to slather on the bug dope!
Tyler Scales is a PRCA bareback rider. The life of a career cowboy is busy and spent on the road traveling from one rodeo to the next, chasing gold buckles and the yellow bucking chutes of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas each year. Bareback riding doesn’t come without its own set of risks and Tyler knows all too well that injuries are all part of it.

When you build your own survival kits, you can fill them with exactly what you need!
I’ve recently been working on several kits to prepare for a new survival class that I am launching this month. I’ve made tool kits, flint & steel fire kits, and even some knot tying kits for the class. All this kit building reminded me about the high value that kits would have in emergency situations. Sure, we all probably have a first aid kit lying around somewhere – and if you don’t – that’s your homework for today (go get one!).
Anytime is a good time to be outdoors. As we dive into spring and start thinking about habitat management, food plots, and hunting preparation for the coming fall seasons, a great tool to have is an ATV or Side by Side. Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and Side by Side Group Marketing Manager joins Jim and Trav to talk about some great options for outdoors men and women.
Are you planning your 2017 vacations and weekend getaways yet? Before you make any hotel reservations, the U.S. Department of the Interior just released a list of FREE admission days for public lands that charge an entrance fee. If you are going to take time off work, why spend it inside? Get out and enjoy all that the great outdoors has to offer.

Our forebears learned how to manage their staples, and so should we.
