The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government... Thomas Jefferson
"To all you Liberals: If we were as scary as you think we are, you would all be dead by now. Some of us are scarier than you can imagine, and we are everywhere! We are inside your head! We are your worst nightmare. Be afraid! Be very afraid!"

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." -- General James Mattis

Camping has been a lifelong activity with me. From my early years camping with my folks, my teen years doing it with friends, to my adult life taking the family out. Everything from travel trailers, campers, hammocks and tents. So it is no great surprise that I have an interest in Bushcraft and the outdoors.
I consider Bushcraft a form of "Camping Lite", utilizing skills to create your comfort in the wilderness rather than lugging along a bunch of stuff (which I still enjoy doing). Of course, YouTube is full of videos produced by those who practice various forms of Bushcraft. Some are almost laughable, while others are very informative.
Now some of you may wonder why you would ever need these skills. I suggest you watch the movie "Defiance", and place it in a modern context, where you are the ones fleeing persecution for your race or beliefs. When you have nothing but the most basic of tools, the knowledge of how to make your life more comfortable is invaluable.
I present here, a series of videos that I consider to be well done on the subject of Bushcraft. It is a long series, which I will split into several parts.
Here is a cool use for those old pallets that are usually free for the taking.
Our pioneer ancestors spent a large portion of there days in the struggle to produce enough food to survive on. They didn't have access to the knowledge and ideas that are shared now on the internet. As a survivalist or a prepper, once your food stocks run out you will be faced with the same issues, unless you start utilizing these methods now!
Addendum:
Do you have a novel use for old pallets?
Would you consider sharing with the rest of us?
Thanks!
Here is a project that can get you started growing your own food if you have the space. Scale it down if need be, but get going!
If you live in the northern climes, you could heat you greenhouse with scrap wood from old pallets, burnt in a rocket stove that heats a thermal mass. There is a book out there that shows a how a guy did this in his house for heating. It is Rocket Mass Heaters: Superefficient Woodstoves YOU Can Build by Ianto Evans and Leslie Jackson. Find materials to build and upgrade your greenhouse design on Craigslist.
