My Dairy in the Wild.

7/24/2010
I… Hate… CAMPING. I did just to impress the girl of my dreams with only one fault. You guessed it she loved camping. I mean what the heck is that for? Back to my horrible story. I went on a hike to complain to myself when I got lost. Why am I cursed with wanting to impress the ladies. Though I must admit, it works pretty dang good. So I went along. And that backtracks to me getting lost. Ok can I just complain to you guys instead of telling my story? No? Fine. Have it your way. Just remember I hate you all. Well I hate camping because I used to be a master survivalist. I was on all these shows. I can survive with only a knife. Not my preferred way through. You guys better believe me or put my book down right now. Go on. Put it down. Now many people can’t survive in the wild. Why do I hate camping you wonder. It all happened on a stormy night. I was on this show called “Can You Survive?!?!?” It was so stormy, rain was pounding on our heads, and just to make it worse it was our first night which means no shelter to protect us. Just as the rain started to clear up I fainted with all the water pounding on my head. No one then wanted me on any show. I quit all the glory on TV to become a vet. Sometimes I am reminded of my failure on camping shows and survival shows and blogs. My true fans, when they meet me on the street ask for a signature. My fake fans that only liked me or even bothered to check me out because their friends were true fans. Not because they liked me. No one really remembers me anymore. Great being I was in my head so now I’m even more loss. What is that for? I’m really getting mad. I am building a shelter so pathetic even bugs don’t want to nest there.

Got my wish my shelter kept me very warm through. So it was comfy. Sleep helped. My true self will shine now. I always come prepared. My motto is “Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst”. I always follow that motto even when I do something I don’t like. For example I barely ever leave the house without my small black leather backpack. You guys most likely think I am overreacting. Well guess what you brought my book and you better finish it or you lost your money. Sorry off topic. Let me describe my shelter. I took a long branch that was on the floor of the forest and put it on this tree stump. Then I got tons of branches with leaves on them and placed them on the long branch.

Is my story good?
I am sorry I didn’t finish describing the shelter yet. I spent a week just researching it so…

Has anyone used dry cat food called “Taste of the Wild” ?

Posted on July 28, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

This was recommended at PetSmart because people have raved about it. My cats love it. It’s a grain free food.

Formula with roasted Venison, smoked Salmon, also peas, sweet potatoes, fruits, ocean fish meal, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, and many more ingredients and vitiamins. Taurine is 0.15% mimimun.

Next question for your answers: My one cat is only a meat eater since 4 months old when I got him from the shelter. I mix the dry food, I just mentioned above, with good canned food and he eats it.

Question: He still loves cooked chicken livers 3 times a week,
He also loves cooked turkey and chicken–he gobbles it up. He is not fat, but has always loved this kind of food.

He will sit in front of the refrigerator until he has his chicken or livers. He has to have it.

Is this okay in moderation?

Any comments on either or both comments.

Good survivalist knife for under $100?

Posted on July 17, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m not a survivalist, but often use knives in my artwork/woodwork and I like knives, and I like Man vs. Wild too – muahaha
I googled around and found the one/s Bear Grylls use are maybe in the $500s of dollars range yikes

but there must be some others cheaper, quality

I assume carbon fiber is more $ but I would like to get one at some point
and
is there a technical word for a knife collector? (ex: philatelist : stamps)

In The Wild: What about diseases?

Posted on January 7, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

So, I’ve recently been thinking a bit about those tribes of people who you often see living in the wilderness of say, Africa, or in some rain forest secluded from civilization. Do they get diseases? Are they often life-threatening? Have the people grown a tolerance to the diseases, like animals, I guess? If I were to go there and live with them, would the symptoms of a disease specific to that general area be more severe in the case of my catching one? If they were to come here and catch a common cold, would the symptoms be life-threatening for them?

What about those people who wish to live in the wilderness, given they have the survival skills required so that they can live? How would they be able to avoid diseases? Would they just develop a tolerance to any disease around there? Is that possible? Do you think they could survive? I know there are TV shows about living in the wilderness. I haven’t watched many, yet, though and I probably should to get more of a feel for it. Maybe I should go camping.

I’ve always wanted to kind of escape society. The African Wilderness has always attracted me, or the wilderness in general. I really like the idea of a very natural life. I think we, in this society, are overly materialistic and so out of touch with our selves as humans; as animals. I just want to experience it, you know? But there are so many things that really prevent us from doing it. Like diseases. We’d probably die if we got one out there, right?

Maybe I should be one of those African Safari people who study the biodiversity/ecosystem of the wilderness and stuff, so I can get in touch with nature. God, I don’t know what I want to do.

But yeah, back to the question. What about diseases?
