A cheap way to keep carbon steel knives and axes lubricated and rust-free is to use common store-bought Mineral Oil or Petroleum Jelly.


Petroleum Jelly can also be used in other ways for bushcrafting. Petroleum Jelly combined with cotton balls makes a great tinder that's easily ignited with the spark of a firesteel. And with all these sparks flying about should a romantic encounter happen, all the better....

Throwing sticks or rocks is pretty much the simplest weapon you can get.



Throwing a heavy stick or rock with a good aim can be effective for killing small animals like rabbits but definitely not to be used against larger animals that will simply be angered by your actions.

there is hunter-gatherer weaponry which uses a set of throwing sticks..if caught in the wild i would want to have fish hooks..live near a river and have a garden...i lived in a teepee on some pasture land in hawaii for a year or so ..no river but i had a faucet..a small garden and very little else.

I am so glad you enjoyed your year!

For me however just the thought of living WITHOUT modern convinces like HOT water, electricity, indoor plumbing, etc etc makes me shudder....


I can't even imagine not having a range/microwave nor a well stocked refrigerator to grab from!
