Hello spring. Hello storm season. Spring is a temperamental time of year that has a tendency toward instability, a time that is susceptible to severe weather outbreaks. For outdoorsmen and women, it's also prime time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. But what happens when a severe storm pops up and surprises you while you're outdoors? Survival guru Tim MacWelch tells Jim and Trav there are precautions that should be taken in different weather events for your safety.
As the old rhyme goes, “April showers bring ticks and disease carrying insects”, or something like that. It’s true, spring has sprung and as nature comes back to life, vegetation begins to grow and animals awaken, plus the population of insects and pests also comes roaring back with irritating fury. Tim MacWelch, author of The Ultimate Bushcraft Survival Manual, says that outdoorsmen and women need to be aware of the potential dangers that lurk in the great outdoors in order to better protect themselves this spring.
=How did all of humanity take care of personal, normal, hygiene issues one-hundred plus years ago?

What would happen if our nation’s food supply began to run short. Local supermarket shelves were empty and convenient stores didn't have bread, eggs, milk to stock. Could we as a society revert back to simpler times where fending for yourself and being self-sufficient was inherent?

Tim will walk us through points in history where entire populations were forced to feed upon birds, insects, mice, rats, whatever they could forage, and what ensued from it.

"Bushcraft is a perspective on survival, it's about preserving our heritage and being self-reliant. It's not scary, it's not doomsday, it's practicing comprehensive skills that were once common knowledge to the world. Furthermore, bushcraft is being more comfortable with yourself and the wild. Being able to recognize and use the natural resources around you, in a sustainable, respectful way. And it's about, making a whole buttload of cool stuff, like everyday tools, bows, a cabin and making your own way in the world", says survival expert and author of The Ultimate Bushcraft Survival Manual, Tim MacWelch. Tim will detail the origin of bushcraft and explain why it's essential for today's society to adopt its practices in this week's survival installment. Plus, he'll detail his newest best seller, The Ultimate Bushcraft Survival Manual, and why he poured his heart and soul into writing it.

It's a common occurrence, but seldom planned for: an emergency survival situation. This encompasses getting turned around and spending the night on a mountain side.

Who doesn’t love smoked meats? Tim MacWelch, extreme survivalist, New York Time best-selling author and the writer of the How To Survival manuals, says most people assume that smoke is used primarily to flavor meats. However, smoking serves a much more important purpose. Tune in as Tim explains the science behind smoking meats and how this process, that has been used for ages, can help you preserve your meats before they spoil. When it comes to smoking fish, Tim says you have to decide between cold smoking or hot smoking methods. Cold smoking your meats is best for long term preservation. This method uses strictly smoke and no heat which dries and coats your catch with the chemical compounds in the smoke that act as preservatives to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Find out more about various smoking methods, why brining your meats can help further reduce the occurrence of bacteria, the best way to smoke oily fish and more.
