Primitive Wilderness Skills Applied

John & Geri McPherson are true pioneers in rediscovering ancient skills. They do not settle for anything less than the truly primitive. They start with their bare hands and work their way up from there. In fact, they coined the term "primitive, primitive" to stand for primitive tools made with primitive tools. They are presently setting up the training curriculum for the US Special Forces SERE (Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape) program. Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills was originally published as ten separate booklets, the "Naked into the Wilderness" series. Each booklet became a chapter within the book, covering these topics:

1. Brain Tan Buckskin: McPherson's dry-scrape process.
2. Primitive Fire & Cordage: bowdrill, handdrill, cordage.
3. Makin' Meat - 1: the bow & arrow.
4. Makin' Meat - 2: traps, gathering, atlatl, insects, meat preservation.
5. Primitive Wilderness Cooking Methods: in the coals, broiling, baking, boiling.
6. Deer from Field to Freezer: field dressing, skinning, sinew removal, meat cutting, etc.
7. Containers - 1: baskets, coiled baskets, bark container, stone, animal parts, wood.
8. Containers - 2, Primitive Pottery: clay, temper, construction, firing.
9. Primitive Tools, Making & Using Them: digging stick, awl, celt, hafting, adze, vice, etc.
10. Primitive Semi-Permanent Shelters: wickiup, lean-to, thatched wickiup, etc.

Making Primitive Jerky For Wilderness Survival

How to primitively dry meat to make jerky for use in long term wilderness survival.

so.. you kept the smoke on it for 3-4 hours then put in the sun for 2 days afterwards? ..what did you do at night?? keep a fire under it?? just would like to try this at home but don't quite know the exact 3 day process

At night, you can keep it by the fire or hoist the whole rig into a tree so the critters don't get it... basically you just want to make sure it gets completely dry so that it cannot rot.

Walk to your kitchen cabinets right now... How long could you get by without going to the store?

A week?

A month?

Or would you be in a government soup line the next day?

If you sought shelter and assistance in the Superdome, you may not have fared much better. The conditions were horrific, heat combined with tens of thousands of sick people, many of whom had waded through the foul-smelling, toxic waters to get there, only to find little or no food and gangs raping and assaulting those who had already lost everything and were clinging to life.

Those lessons have taken on new importance as the headlines grow more dire by the day. President Obamas socialist agenda and the continuing meltdown appears to be making matters worse. News sources are reporting stockpiling of food supplies by government agencies and the wealthy. Perhaps they know something the rest of us dont

Grocery stores only have enough food stocks to last three days¦a natural disaster or terrorist attack could wipe out local infrastructure for weeks
