Primitive Wilderness Skills
Free Sites with Survival Skills, I picked these
because they are very powerful websites that show exactly what you
should be learning.
These sites briefly cover all of the skills, so be sure to buy a book
and a field guide to supplement your knowledge base. Learning to
survive outdoors or in the wild is not the case where you watch one
video or read one book. It is a lifetime study and if you want to
survive the global crisis that is coming
to our planet, you better start studying now. C. Jeff Dyrek, North
Pole Expedition Leader, Long time Explorer and Webmaster.
If you are an outdoors person, you'll find all the DVDs in
the Woodsmaster series useful, interesting, and possibly, life-saving. Ron Hood
B.A. M.S. Ed.D. (ABD) developed his early wilderness interests as a member of
the Military Intelligence Community while in the Army Security Agency (ASA).
After training, Ron spent a year in the Middle East and nearly 18 months in
Vietnam. Since the military Ron taught accredited classes in Wilderness Skills
at two Universities for over 20 years, authored numerous articles for National
magazines, published a Guidebook to the Sierra as well as appearing on many TV
and Radio Programs. Ron spends much of his time learning, practicing and
studying wilderness and survival skills with native populations around the
world.
From the Webmaster: These
videos are not the short TV shows that you normally see. These videos teach you
the HOW TO in a step by step method. This is very, very important because
the TV shows skip so many pieces of the necessary survival skills. If you
want to survive, you need to go through these videos starting at volume one.
One more note. If you notice that I have left one of the TV survivor
program video series off of this website. I watch one man who drinks urine
and eats animal dung, he jumps in to raging rivers and just does everything that
will kill you faster than you can imagine. Do not drink your urine, eat
dung or jump into mountain streams. You will die. I have over two
years of continuous living outdoors, I have climbed the highest mountain the
lower 48 states along with many, many other mountains, I've been in the jungles
of Philippines, have traveled through northern Siberia and led a North Pole
Expedition. I'm still not an expert at survival. Ron Hood is a true
professional and I'm sure that he would not drink his urine. I'm telling
you this because I don't want to see anything bad happen to you, I want you to
survive and be healthy. C. Jeff Dyrek.

we tan the hide of an animal harvested and salted over 20 years ago. Then we
take a deer hide from its raw state through hide scraping, de-hairing, braining,
grain breaking and finally to its finished smoked and pliable destiny. We also
discuss tendons and how to prepare them for use and how to make a primitive
pouch using leather extras. We take a quick look at blade profiles and a close
look at the work of one of our Hoodlum forum members, Scott Gossman from
Razorback knives. Along the way we have a bunch of fun! The video is over 1 hour
