My first attempt at Bug Out Bag

Here are some pics of my current bag, I'm going to list the items later, most of this stuff I got on the cheap, so its affordable to prep people, even if your a broke college student.
This is all the contents

I forgot to get a pic of the bag

'via Blog this'

New Hatchet I would love to try out

Next step in survival: The Hunter

Most people have seen or read the Hunger Games, and I'm expecting that by posting a picture of Katniss I should get a nice flood of views.
Indulge, you know you want too.
Following the craze, which I admit I'm a fan of both the book and movie, another thing that has been huge is the popularity of Archery (Logic: Hot chick + killing people = Awesome). Not to sound like a hipster, although that is almost always followed by something hipster sounding, I was really into the idea of learning how to use a bow, first when I wanted to be a badass zombie hunter and now that I'm interested in the world of bow hunting & zombie hunting still. I'm excited like a gitty school girl because after years of talk, I have finally signed up for class, and for only $5. As I type this I can hear a lot of you saying things like "really" and "Bullshit" but its the truth. My states park and planning offers all kinds of classes at varying prices, I'm actually thinking about signing up for a sustainable gardening class. I admit its only a 2 hour class but its a great first step to Katniss level shooting. I also know of a local range where I can rent gear so I plan on practicing everything I learn while taking more classes in the future. When I do take the class, I will chronicle you on the whole experience.

Adventure into the Unknown 2

More pictures of us tackling the woods, I really love the outdoors so hiking maybe a regular thing for me, hopefully leading into camping and other useful skills.










This time we got more ladies to join us and I encourage getting your female friends into the world of being prepared, makes life a lot easier, believe me.

Adventure into the unknown: I start Hiking

Hiking has become one of my new hobbies because I do not fear the wild, just the scary things inside it and I'm getting back to nature because hey this is a survival blog. Check out some of my pictures:









The best part is that I'm slowly getting more of my friends involved, maybe with a little guilt and persuasion I can get them into prepping.







I will definitely reclaim the land. 
I plan to post more photos of my friends and I conquering the great outdoors.

Gone for a minute back for more

After dealing with some personal stuff I'm back to blogging, of course I won't be blogging every week but when relevant things happen to me. That being said I plan to practice serious skills and provide great experiences and information on my attempts and survival for a young college student.
