Hunting bushcraft style..............
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. |

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! |

Bushcraft laundry ideas 1
If you're car camping, take along a 5 gal plastic pail and a new toilet plunger and wallah you have a wash machine. Remember to always use biodegradable soap. |

Bushcraft laundry ideas 2
An ice chest works well for a laundry tub, and it has a lid! You can pick it up and use a bit of elbow grease to shake the suds/soap around.
I would think one of those Styrofoam ones, which would cost only a couple of bucks, would work just as well as the insulated thermos type coolers. |

It’s not much good starting a fire if you can’t keep it going, so it’s essential to first collect some materials that will both set alight and keep burning. You’ll need both tinder and kindling. Tinder is what is used to start a fire and kindling keeps it burning. Tinder Cotton wool, paper, dry leaves, straw and dry grass, pine needles, dandelion head, jute twine fibers, alcohol-based sanitizing wipe, cattails, tinder fungus Kindling Twigs leaves and branches, logs, dry leaves and bark |

Hygiene........
What Hygiene products are essentials?
Do Bring.... Unscented, alcohol-based gel hand sanitizer,biodegradable soap toothbrush,toothpaste, dental floss (doubles as string in a pinch), cotton bandana or washcloth,unscented moist towelettes or baby wipes, quick-dry microfiber pack towel, toilet paper in its own plastic bag (or: ditch it and use leaves, snow, and smooth stones), A menstrual cup (if necessary) or feminine hygiene products and a sealable plastic bag to carry them out. On a personal note may I suggest good old Arm & Hammer Baking Soda instead of toothpaste? Several years back when it was reported that most toothpastes contain some form of humectant, to prevent the paste from becoming dry and chalky usually in the form of Glycerol or Propylene Glycol and even tho the concentration of these ingredients is not enough to function effectively as an antifreeze, I've never used it since. Besides it's cheaper and weighs less..just estimate the amount you think you'll need and put in a plastic zip-lock bag! |

Hygeine...................
Do Not Bring....
Deodorant (smells attract woodland creatures) Shampoo (bad for the environment) Razors (embrace the beard, or let your legs go) Mirrors (clunky and easily broken) Non-biodegradable products (bad for the environment) “Disposable” products that you’ll have to carry out (bulky and cumbersome) |

Hand Sanitizer is a Godsend.....
Hand sanitizer is a compact and lightweight way to kick germs’ butts. Doctors wash or sanitize (or sometimes both) their hands whenever they see a new patient. Hikers should do the same after going to the bathroom and before cooking or eating meals. If you don’t, the germs on your fingers will end up in your eyes or mouth. Hikers are quick to blame trail illnesses on contaminated drinking water, but hand-to-mouth infection is a frequent culprit too. Because washing with soap and water isn’t always convenient or available, carry a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer. This clear gel contains a small concentration of ethyl alcohol that kills germs on contact. Just add a dime-size drop to your palm, rub your hands together vigorously, and wait 20 to 30 seconds for the alcohol to evaporate.

Learn Alternative Fishing Techniques...........
The different fishing technique you can apply (depending on the body of water and type of fish you wish to catch) could be the difference between eating and starving....
Try using your bare hands or a spear if all else fails............ |

In all honesty and truth be told, I prefer my fish via fish n chips, in a newspaper lined basket with coleslaw and tartar sauce served at a nice fish mongers place......

I really can't feature me plunging my well groomed hands and nails nor wading into a stream with a spear BUT I guess if it was either that or starve I just might..........
