Default Camping Hygiene..........

So you’ve decided you want to live like our ancestors who used to chase down wild deer, swim deep to catch fish, and sleep in caves or in a tent built out of trees far out in the wilderness.

This type of lifestyle is definitely not for everybody!

We have heard a lot of horror stories where people think that they’re invincible and go out to live in the wilderness, only to come back and have to be taken to the hospital. Others didn’t even come back alive.

To put everything in perspective, though, it’s not that hard if you know how to take care of yourself properly. If you plan out the right survival strategy, things will work out to your advantage. One of the main problems that can hinder a person’s chances of surviving in the wilderness, besides finding food, is trying to stay clean.

Soap
Saponins can be found in a lot of plants and especially in our foods, such as beans. You can also find plants that contain high amounts of saponins in the wild, and they are really good for bathing and washing your hair. Saponins are toxic glycosides commonly found in plants, and when crushed with water inside a container, they form a lather which can be used as an effective cleanser. One of the most popular plants containing saponins is a wildflower called soapwort, which is commonly grown in Europe and can be found in hedgerows or moist areas such as streams.This is a very important chemical, and people have been using it for centuries before the modern soaps we use today, and many still find a lot of use in it. So when you’re in the forest and you’re wondering what to bathe with, try finding some plants that have saponins in them.

Of course if it is cast iron it could also double as a weapon should any unwanted elements appear at your campsite!
Between this and your cocked 357 I think you're just about covered then!

I know I wouldn't attempt to mess with ya...

Default Camping Protection....

When you are camping in the wilderness, you should be prepared and take precautions. Most animals in the wilderness have learned that people are dangerous, so they usually keep their distance from you. Some of the things happen when you least expected it. For some reason, animals in the wild may attack you, and you should have a defense plan when things go so wrong.

In the worst case scenario, you may encounter rapists, thieves, jail escapees, murderers, or other creepy weirdos lurking around. With these things in mind, pepper spray and stun guns are the absolute best self-protection weapons for survival in the wilderness. The best thing with these self-defense items is that you are not going to kill yourself, a family or a friend if it goes off accidentally. Non-lethal weapons are also very lightweight and can be carried on your side, so it is easily accessible. They are both effective against animal and human attacks.

Default Bells & Whistles..........

Bells as you know and loud sounds can scare off animals. That why hiking with a bell can be a grand strategy. It tells all the nearby wildlife just where you are so that they can stay away. If you're going to carry a bell, be sure it's one that includes a magnet. You use the magnet like a little on/off switch to stop the ringing. Otherwise, it's sure to drive you and your companions bonkers!

A good whistle around your neck is the next best thing. Before you go buying a whistle and blowing continuously as you jaunt down the trail, you should know one thing. The sound of a whistle signals others that you're in danger. Don't use it unless you need to. Hikers have been known to go miles out of their way to check up on a whistle blow. If you use yours haphazardly, don't be surprised if some otherwise friendly hikers show up to give you an earful. If you decide to carry a whistle, it'll play dual roles. It can scare off predators or signal for help. And for less than $10, that's one piece of equipment you can't beat...

Default Tips for staying warm now that temps have dropped....

~~~
If you're the outdoorsy type who still enjoys camping/bushcrafting into early fall, remember.......

While sleeping (trying to sleep) put a warm hat on - your head loses a lot of heat.

So you might end up with hat hair, so what, at least you stayed warm and toasty!

You're out in the woods, nobody's expects to run across a fashion plate there.....

Cozy up with a camping mate...

If you are getting seriously cold, this is the most effective way to get warm, and it is no time to be shy or reluctant..
