I want to hike in my local forest, but in autumn, wild boars are coming from high altitude places to low altitude places(where the forest is at about 300 meters above sea level). I saw a wild boar running away from me(thank God not towards me). I think I need to have a way to scare them if I see...

I usually go hiking alone and my wife insists I should take my phone with me because she is worried when I enter the woods and she doesn't see me for hours because there are no other people in the forest I usually go hiking. I understand her, however I never take my phone because I want to be...

I'm not a pottery master, however walking trough woods I found a zone with argil/clay. I brought some home. I rinsed it, I submerged it in water, I waited 3 hours, I waited for the water and the solids to separate into 2 layers, I thrown the water, I hung the solids in a cloth overnight and the...

I live in Romania, a poor, ex-communist country. I live near a forest and recently I saw a lot of workers cutting down trees with chainsaws and I thought this might not be authorized so I searched on google and found that in my country every tree cut must be declared and the transport of it must...

I remember that my grandmother told me you can use wood ash to wash your hair, if you don't have shampoo. Of course, in a wilderness survival situation, cleaning your hair is your last problem, however, I have that kind of old rocker long shaggy hair and, for example, I'm in the nature without...

I live in a small town. My house is 30 meters away from a forest so I basically live in a forest. Yesterday I was hiking in the forest alone. The forest is not a mountain forest it is about 700 meters above sea level. Where I live winter is around the corner in in some higher places it started...

Let's say I am in a forest in central europe, what wild tree can I use it's fibros peel to make cordage. I tried with wild hazelnut tree(the kind of hazelnut tree with a lot of branches growing from the base making it look like a giant bush) and I couldn't peel the skin from the wood in one piece.

I generally stay on trails and have never felt the need to mark my passage. However, I've been kicking around the idea of carrying a small spray paint can in my day-hiking bag to mark trees with a small spot or "X" of bright neon paint on the far side of the tree so I can see it when I'm...

not sure of impact but *Science* says US' trees are moving West https://www.sciencealert.com/american-trees-have-started-migrating-west-and-no-one-knows-why "Over the past 30 years, three-quarters of eastern US tree species have been shifting to the west, and at an astonishing rate of around...

So my new property has some wooded hillsides, and some lawn hillsides, I really don't want to cut the grass on the hillsides, but I am wondering what would be good to plant where there is currently lawn? Maybe garlic, asparagus? What would be good hillside crops on the forested hills? Or should...

So I'm thinking of ditching city life with all the people and problems. Been thinking of buying some cheap land or maybe even renting some wooded forest land from someone. Buying a camper and taking tons of supplies and food for long term survival. Maybe even build a little homestead. Or a...

I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with the various patterns of camo available, just wondering what everyone's preferred types are and why? Granted, it should be best for your situation/location. I'm opting to go with the new A-TACS FG for the very green coniferous forests of Oregon. ACU/old...

I got a PM from another poster, he brought up a good question. Lets see what ideas others may have. That is hard to do. Most of this state is forest, and privately owned. It does change hands and it sells for low prices [per acre], but it is mostly in 100+ acre parcels. If a parcel gets...

I keep hearing about all these "Real Men" and "Survivalists" on the forum! I hear but I don't see a whole lot of doing. Every New Years we hike into the Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest. We hike in about 10 miles make camp and stay at least 2 nights in the cold, dark, and...

Forest Sanctuary Jon Harper was an average guy with a typical job in sales. Now, not cold selling (like calling and bothering you at dinner), but behind the counter of a local Pep Boys auto parts store. It was a type of work that he liked. As a parts man he...

We have 42 acres, which is pretty much a square 1/4 mile on each of four sides. The East side is a river, the West side is a county road. Across the road we have 105 acres; it is 1/4 mile wide and 1 mile deep. Running it's entire length, deadcenter is a jeep trail. Both properties are forested...
