Hypothermia is where your body temperature drops and, traditionally, your peril is obvious. This especially holds true if you're exposed to extreme cold conditions for prolonged periods of time. But, what about hyperthermia, a condition where your body temperature rises? Our resident survival expert and New York Times best-selling author, Tim MacWelch, says that in hot conditions, such as much of America is facing currently, you have to go above and beyond what's typically required to keep your body fully operational and hydrated.
Could you build a DIY tent from organic material that'll adequately shield you from the elements? If not, you're in luck, because our resident survival expert and author of "How to Survive Off the Grid", Tim MacWelch, is here to lend his expertise in doing just that.
Has a dull knife ever gotten the best of you when skinning a deer? Does your inability to properly sharpen and hone your favorite fillet knife frustrate the dickens out of you? Well, extreme survivalist and New York Times Best Selling Author, Tim MacWelch says, "Leave your high dollar knives at home and try butchering your game or caping out your buck with a hand made stone knife that's completely disposable."
Tim explains that knives made out of stone such as obsidian, can far surpass the sharpness of a traditional knife and that stone has the ability to be broken down to a molecular level that is less than one molecule thick in certain areas, which is twenty-five times sharper than the best steel scalpels used in modern surgery today. Don't miss this week's survival installment with Tim MacWelch as he discusses making stone knives from scratch.
People often mistake "Bushcraft" and "Survival" as one in the same, but Outdoor Life's extreme survivalist, Tim MacWelch, explains that the two are polar opposites. Tim says that bushcraft is an intentional act and way of life that takes an entire set of primitive skills and intuitive thinking. It means that you intentionally chose to live off the land, to use rudimentary tools, to have minimal impact on the surrounding area and to thrive by turning basic organic elements into everyday essential.
You don't have a smoker or anything for drying out cuts of meat? But, you do have lots of wild game that you're wanting to procure into tasty strips of jerky? Well, extreme survivalist and New York Times Best Selling Author, Tim MacWelch, says, "Hey, that's not a problem." Long before pellet smokers and propane, mountain men, settlers and rednecks from all walks of life, were using natural elements to safely and quickly prepare raw meats for consumption. Tim explains that with the right temps, low humidity and just the right amount of smoke to keep buzzing insects away, raw meats can easily transform into delicious morsels that have an extensive shelf life. Don't miss this week's survival installment with The Revolution's own survival expert, Tim MacWelch, as he gives the ultimate recipe for DIY all natural jerky.
Ever pondered the origins of fire? Have you ever considered what the Neanderthals thought when they had their first bite of toasted T-Rex? Fire has had an insurmountable impact on the entire world and it's the first power source known to man. Today, it heats our houses, boils our water, cooks our food, keeps our vehicles running and much, much more. So, America's premiere survivalist and New York Times Best Selling Author, Tim MacWelch, breaks down the essential need for fire, how we can't live without it and how it can, single-handedly, save your life.
In need of a weapon for defense, or possibly to kill your dinner? New York Time Best Selling Author and extreme survival expert, Tim MacWelch, says a true survivalist is remarkably resourceful and can easily fashion a cunning weapon from basic elements found in nature. So, in this week's survival installment, Tim will explain how precision hurling of rocks can bludgeon a two or four-legged attacker. He’ll describe how a stick, a fire amber and a stone can come together as a lethal spear that's capable of piercing a bear’s hide, and why the Taurus Judge is the ultimate camping companion piece if you're not up to the challenge of making rudimentary backwoods weapons.
Does a bear poop in the woods? Absolutely. But, then again, so do hunters, hikers and all outdoor adventure seekers. The better question is, are humans properly disposing of our waste when we do, in fact, poop in the woods? According to our resident survival expert and New York Times Best Selling Author, Tim MacWelch, 99% of the time we can't seem to get our crap figured out - pun intended. Tim explains that, all to often, we defecate to close to a water source, a walking trail and so on, and we leave it in a manner that's impolite to humans, Mother Nature and animals, alike. So, if you've ever wondered if you're pooping wrong in the woods, Tim MacWelch will help you get your shit figured out in this week's riveting survival installment.
You just landed in a survival situation that you weren't prepared for. Now, you're saddled with the taxing chore of staying alive and finding nourishment. Luckily, there is a river nearby with a healthy population of game fish in it, but could you manage to construct rudimentary fishing tackle with natural elements and procure the necessary baits to hook up with a lunker? Well, The Revolution's resident survival expert and New York Times Best Selling Author, Tim MacWelch, has some crafty pioneering tips for us that will ultimately fill our bait buckets with succulent attractants that fish can't resist. Tim further explains that aside from making irresistible bait, worms, grubs, grasshoppers, and the like, also double as an exceptional survival protein for humans, too. However, to avoid harmful life threatening poisons, you need to positively identify each little critter before ingesting it.
In the survival culture, Tim MacWelch is a true 1%er. Thus, implying that only 1% of current survivalists could actually survive in an authentic survival situation. Confused? We are. Well, in this week's Survival Installment, the New York Times Best Selling Author will yet again prove his prowess by exposing Old Wives Tales surrounding bug repellent, products that contain Deet, and any and all precautionary measures that should or shouldn't be taken when using such products.
