  • Review: Condor Polar North Machete

    Review: Condor Polar North Machete

    The Polar North Machete from Condor Knife & Tool has earned its place in my tool rotation. It's definitely a great candidate for the proverbial "one tool" philosophy. It can handle most camp-cutting chores, and with a bit of practice, I felt I had started to understand the nuances of using it for my cutting needs.

    Medicinal Trees of Georgia

    Some of these medicinal powers are as simple as eating a leaf, while others take some prep work. In every case, all the steps needed to access these abilities can be done in the wild. Note I won't be covering how to identify them. That step will be left to the reader as good practice.

  • How to Choose the Best Knife Steel

    How to Choose the Best Knife Steel

    When choosing the next bushcraft knife, the type of steel is a very important consideration.

As WWII hit in the mid-1930s, it became a sense of pride and American duty to grow Victory Gardens and raise chickens. As time went on and technology advanced, the industrialization of chicken farming grew into a multi-billion dollar industry.
