Off-Grid clothes washer
Washing clothes and personal hygiene is an important thing to plan for whether you're intentionally living off the grid, or you're planning for a scenario where the grid is not functioning as it should. In either case, washing clothes with a simple system that utilizes 5 gallon buckets and a plunger is a good option. It costs little, takes virtually no time to set up, and is efficient with the water and time that it uses. www.selfreliancepublishing.com

How to fix a hole in clothing
มุมมอง 1115 ปีที่แล้ว
In today's throwaway society, many people don't give fixing clothes a second thought. They just throw them out and buy a replacement. As a prepper though, you should have the tools and skills needed to fix things that break. Basic sewing skills are an example of that. www.selfreliancepublishing.com
How to make reverse wrap cordage
มุมมอง 325 ปีที่แล้ว
The ability to make primitive cordage is an important skill for bushcrafting and wilderness survival. In this video I show the basics of how to make cordage using the reverse wrap method. The technique itself is relatively easy to master. The part that is more difficult to grasp is which material to use and how to process it. So it's important to learn which resources are available in your area...

Staple foods are a good option for preppers. Food such as corn, beans, potatoes and sweet potatoes are inexpensive to purchase and relatively easy to grow and store. You should consider incorporating food like this into your everyday diet.
How to make survival cordage: Quick and dirty
มุมมอง 565 ปีที่แล้ว
Cordage is useful for many things in a survival situation. It's important to conserve resources though, and many situations may not call for a high quality reverse wrap cordage. If all you need is a short length for lashing something together, you may get buy with just using long strands of natural fiber without twisting them into real cordage. www.selfreliancepublishing.com
Controlling aphids in a sustainable manner
มุมมอง 175 ปีที่แล้ว
Aphids can become major pests that effect the yield of your garden. If you have a plan in place though, you can limit their impact on your garden. You do this by discouraging their presence by influencing the environment, and responding appropriately when they do show up. Both of those things can be done in a sustainable and organic manner. www.selfreliancepublishing.com
Sources of ideas for self-reliance
มุมมอง 295 ปีที่แล้ว
We all turn to the usual books and social media sites for ideas about how to become self-reliant and prepare for the future. If you want a different prospective you should consider touring some historical sites, such as farms and plantations. This videos describes some of my observations from touring the historic governors mansion of NC. www.selfreliancepublishing.com

Continuous flow through worm bins are easy to setup and operate. They are a labor efficient way of growing worms particularly for composting and producing worm castings. You simply add bedding and food on top and remove the castings from the bottom. This video shows you how I go about operating my continuous flow through worm bin. www.selfreliancepublishing.com
Lever action/revolver combo for survival
มุมมอง 13K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Cowboys and others on the western frontier in the mid-late 1800's often carried a lever action and revolver chambered in the same cartridge. 150 years later, preppers should consider doing the same in order to simplify logistics. Lever actions and revolvers are as effective for hunting and defense as they were back then. www.selfreliancepublishing.com

Single shot 12 ga for longterm self-reliance
Wise words
You have made a very valid point! I appreciate that you took time to mention you own a few other weapons of different calibers, however, the ammunition you have to actually accumulate and store is one caliber. I also appreciate that you took some time to actually research and present the historical evidence to back your argument/case. Thank You. For a well researched, thought out post on this topic. May you and your Family have a Blessed Day.
Seal before staining????
First thing I realized, slow down and relax. That's when I started grouping.
well duh, thats only common sense. nobody needed you to tell them any of this, everybody already knows all of this😮
Gracias por mirar, y por el comentario!
I get that 20 years ago camping I was up deer hunting for a month and I took a bucket and one plunger
Great info man 👌👌
That method of brooding is The Philo System.
I have a Rossi/Puma .357 20" carbine, and a 6" S&W .357 revolver. I like the combo, which I bought in 2003... so twenty years ago.
Actually you can get a mossberg 88 pump for $50 more,single shots are @$200
Thank you for the information Bro awesome 👍 ❤
I agree
I have several different sets of rifle/ handgun combos. I have to to especially liking the .357 for myself if survival meant an every day carry. If a situational problem presents itself I have a .45/.45 Thompson combo. I also have AR and handgun combos in 9mm. Reason I have so many various combos - I can hand off some to family members to enhance our survivability.
A .22 LR combo has some real merit also. As to the .44 wcf you can get both a repro 1873 rifle and Schofield in that caliber.
Good advise for horseback. Only so much you can pack.
The never find yourself in a scenario that needs more then 3 shots is a myth self deffense shootings end in an average of 3 shots not a majority of 3 shots most self deffense scenarios end in no shots and you rarely end up in one to begin with but that dosent mean you can't or won't end up in one that requires more if you end up In a shooting self deffense scenario where the bad guy dosent run away the probality of you using more then 3 shots is fairly high the reload statement is true as gun fights don't last long and you don't have time to reload under fire so what you have in capacity is what you have drawing a back up is actually more common then reloading so that's worth mentioning I don't hate revolvers I love revolvers especially for self deffense but all guns have limitations advantages and disadvantages the revolvers is capacity and its advantages are reliability and not being able to induce a jam if someone grabs it
excellent choice friend. I also have the 357 combo. i also have the 44mag combo. Most likely i would grab the 357 combo however i give serious consideration to my 22lr combo, either my gp100 or my single action 22lr/22mag with either my ruger 10/22 stainless takedown and 25 round mags or my henry 22lr.
I have the 22 mag combo..scoped bolt action 22 mag and a keltec pmr30...I might have to trade in my 30-30 for lever 357 ..I'm gonna buy the ruger blackhawk 9mm/357 convirtible..
@@tazmax72 keep that 30-30!!!! rossi has a lever in 357 that compared to marlin or henry is much less. mine was under 500. its stainless. i also have the same rifle in 44 mag. i have the blackhawk in 357 and a 44 mag smith with 2.75 in barrel. good combos. i dont have a 22mag rifle but would like to match my keltec in 22 mag as well, i do have the 22lr combo though. I sold all my ar stuff and ak stuff and kept the lever and bolt guns. even my shotguns are single shor or double barrel coach guns.
Price
🇦🇺😎👍Double nice
44magnum combo sorry 357 just falls a little short . 44magnum big game bear defense it’s a do all round
I didn't enjoy shooting my 44 mag. pistol that much. Follow-up shots weren't as quick. just didn't like it. I really like my .357 mag. with 6" barrell ported. not as intimidating, quicker followup, i am more accurate and with jacketed bullets, it will take down a grizzly no problem with well placed, well penetrated shots to the vitals! sold my 44 mags and bought the 357 combo in rossi 92 20".
Isn't the 357 more powerful than a 44 ??
@ no not even close
love it
This! No one talks about this! They are too busy larping in a plate carrier with a 10ar 🤣🤣 This is the most practical “system” for shtf.. think Wild West.... 357 is way more powerful.. and don’t forget 357 out of a carbine is pushing real rifle velocities with a 30cal pill.. 1700fps with 150g is no joke..
Great minds think alike I went freedom arms model 83 454, And a rossi 92 454,, Also a 444p outfitter, And a magnum research bfr 444
🙏🏼
I had the same thoughts. In a pure survivor oriented situation. Or a long term bug out, one bullet to rule them all. 357 baby. It is a Best All Around decision
Why would you ues water to clean it ? Unless your using Black powder or some substitute? In it?
One of the things that Dave Canterbury talks about is a reloading kit for the 12 gauge, and in his reloading kit, he has Pyrodex RS for the powder. Since the fellow making this video has made reference to Mr. Canterbury in the context of the single-shot 12 gauge, he may very well be using a similar setup for his field reloading kit.
Is there any practice to perform after copicing a tree
Did I hear u say u were going to pour hot water down ur barrel don't do that bad idea
An often overlooked advantage of revolvers and lever guns is that ammo quality is less important than with semi-autos, so you can load anything that fits and won't have problems with the action as it is all manual. It's why I like bolt action hunting rifles and break/pump shotguns over self loaders. The people going on about magazine capacity clearly don't hunt - if your first shot doesn't hit, most animals won't hang around for your 20th!
Great video two thumbs up👍👍. After owning A bunch of guns except for a lever action which one day I’ll probably get it. My number one standard is it’s got to be high quality stainless steel guns. Because of excessive wear and it goes into an sonic cleaner with simple green to remove all carbons and oil.Note my two favorite pistols are .22 Ruger SS Mark II 6” Government model and the Ruger SS GP-100 6”
Do you still have the schematics of this? I am wanting to build something similar to this, & when I tried to go to your website but it was expired!
Lots of hard work there. Wish I could have seen it. Spent most of the video looking at your back. Next vid place the camera where the action is.
Well done. Tons of great info 👍
Are you An amateur?
Many people have pointed out you can start the fire on top in the years since I posted the video. Yes I need to do a follow up video correcting myself. Thanks for your comment.
Why would you need to clean the bore of a shotgun?
After a while the residue from firing will cause pitting and corrosion in the barrel, simultaneously weakening it's structural integrity.
I have a 12 gauge single that I use 18-inch long adapters in. My adapters are in 30/30, 7.62x39, .357 mag, .44 mag, and .45 acp. All of them shoot really well, with the .44 being the most accurate at 100 yards.
We're did u get ur adapters from
We're in Canada
Good information. I’ve been looking at one of these particularly for the reasons you covered. The adapters are a REALLY good idea👍
Complimenti, bel video. Anche io uso un cft e mi trovo molto bene. Un saluto dall'Italia
I think it’s good way to go! Even for civil unrest!
Solid work brother. I have been slinging with the split socket design lately and it has it's place for sure.
Is that a Savage 301?
yes. Just got one myself
I have the 209 adapter I do not put live primer in when I load black powder.
Your not getting the power of a actual rifle though.
What's the formula to figure out the right length of the bow for your height or draw length?
Great tutorial.. I was thinking of making a split pouch but after watching this video, I'll stick with making leather pouch slings. Lot less steps.
the split pouch design can have a leather pouch sewn into the middle of the split pouch. Try that design. It makes for a very durable socket and a very durable design. Give it a try!
@@DavidHuckins I owe you an apology. I did a comparison test between the split pouch vs full leather pouch long and the split pouch won hands down. There was no comparison. My full leather pouch is now in storage.
@@deltafour1212 No apology necessary friend. Could you please elaborate on how the split pouch won? Better accuracy? Better durability? I would be interested in what you learned.
To be fair, my split pouch sling isn't a single string but a 4 strand round braid on the down and release string and the pouch being flat braided like yours is in the video. It had cleaner release, consistent accuracy, awesome velocity and you could throw a rock a country mile. With the single string leather pouch, it was just the opposite. I noticed with a single string you feel the leather pouch and string stretch as you slung heavier ammo reducing the velocity of the throw. With the 4 strand round braid it gave stiffness, less flex and a whole lot of oomph when slinging it.
Love that gp 100 have you shot 38s through it heard they have hot 38 rounds ?
Hey brother, you get better as a presenter as you practice. I admire you getting on TH-cam and talking about this shotgun.
Yep. That's what I've been telling them down at the office. These guys with 20 different guns/calibers...too much. If you got friends you coop prep with, consider standardizing your choice of a caliber so you can share. If I had to choose only one firearm and no sidearm? 20 gauge with a 20-22 inch barrel and a wide variety of ammo: Birdshot, BB, Buck, and Slugs. 12 gauge tears up small game too much but a 20 gauge will kill anything in North America with the right load and shot placement. It's like the "intermediate round" philosophy: Reasonably powerful and better weight/firepower ratio for carrying lots of ammo.
