Knowing What You Can Eat is a Bushcraft Essential
By Benedict Yossarian
Bushcraft like improvising a shelter, making a weapon, or producing fire are basics that one must have in case of being lost or isolated in the wild. These skills maybe necessary but what is most important is knowing what you can eat when you are out there.

If you eat, most likely you will have the mental capacity to think of other ways to survive. Food will keep you calm and supply the energy that you might need to move from one point to another or face life threatening situations.

In the wild, there are basic survival food categories. What you can get will primarily depend on your location and the tools that you have with you. Here are the foods that you may have in the wild:

Wild Berries

The rule of thumb in the wild is that if it tastes like blueberry, strawberry, or raspberry, most likely it is.

Wild berries maybe the most basic bushcraft food that you have to be aware of. You may want to find out other substitutes like june berries, wild currants, rose hips, cranberries, blackberries, wild cherries, winter green berries, bear berries, and thimble berries.

Foods from the Water

If you are in North America, it will be easy to remember that all freshwater fish are safe to consume. Even with your bare hands, you can catch small fish if you can find the right spot to wait for them. Wait for them where they commonly swim or lead them to shallow water where you can easily trap them. You may also improvise a line for fishing and use worms or insects as baits.

Other choices may be obtained from lakes and streams. You can pick up shell fish like mussels, clams, or mollusks and boil them. You can also have crayfish with their meaty tails.

Insects and Bugs

Some insects may cause you harm. You might want to stay with grasshoppers and wood grubs. You can find grasshopper in grasslands and the wood grubs in rotting big logs. They are a great source of protein and you can prepare them by removing the wings and legs. You can make a tasty barbecue out of these crunchy crawlers.

Birds

It might be next to impossible to capture wild birds without the proper weapon but it is worth a try. If you have a gun or the bushcraft bola then you can give it a try. There are birds that nests on the ground and it will take a few rock throws to capture them.

You can also go for the eggs that are left in the nests on tree tops or those which lay on the ground. It will be very easy to improvise and cook these eggs.

Larger Animals

It will be very difficult to take down a large mammal if you don’t have a gun. It will still be quite a challenge if you have spears or other bushcraft weapons. The priority will be to meet you basic survival needs like shelter and fire. Try to look for easier catches like those mentioned above before attempting to go for the big catch.

Small animals like the porcupine though can be hunted using a sizeable rock. Be careful of the spines and clean them from the underside. They can be tasty as well and a good source of protein to help your muscles while in the wild.

From bugs, birds, and mammals, you have to think of how you can use bushcraft or your wilderness skills to make sure that you have a good food source for the day. Remember that eating will be key to your survival in the wild.

Yes, Absolutely Anything That You Want to Achieve is Possible
By Estelle St. John
Set Goals for Yourself, Because Absolutely anything is possible that you want to achieve.

1. Cast aside limits and restrictions that you set upon yourself. The biggest reasons that we find for not following our dreams is that we have pre-conceived notions of what we think we can and cannot do.

There is always a reason that we cannot do something. Let go of those thoughts that are holding you back.

For me it has always been about my weight. I am too fat to do this or that. Now, after my first triathlon I was willing to start letting those thoughts go. I’ve started to trying new things and working on living the life my dreams.

I always thought that working on my goals would disrupt my life too much boy was I wrong. Working on achieving my goals has enriched my life on so many levels.

Its invigorating to challenge those erroneous beliefs of ourselves. Try dispelling one of the negative views by trying something new. Stop limiting yourself. Be true to your dreams and yourself; for why we should not go and get what we want in life.

2. Opening up yourself to new possibilities! It is a must if you want to achieve your goals. You may feel stuck in the daily grind of work, kids and taking care of it all. I get emails from people all the time from all over the world that feel stuck. They want to be happy and are looking to the future to make them happy.

I ask them to start a gratitude journal. That starts us living in the moment. We only have Now. So, Once you can start appreciating your life as it is around you; Only then can you open up to and see the possibilities that are all around you. Possibilities are boundless and always there for you.

3. Letting go of critical self judgments, because it is crucial to the total fulfillment of your goals. Think about it if you are passing judgment on your goals negatively, then are you really willing to ‘go for it’? Well, tell your self it is ok to want what you want.

Yes, want what you want with no apologies. You are not required to share your list of goals with anyone else. Share if you want to but only if you want to.

4. I saved the most important for last: Be very specific about what you want. This may be difficult for some of you. Especially if you are always working on others needs but your own. But as the Elvis song goes, Its Now or Never. To set effective goals you need to be specific. Do your best, and just do it!!

My goals are ever changing and growing. They include- a seven figure income and owning homes in my favorite places such as Montana, London and Vancouver BC. But for me that represents not just the material tangibility of the things; It represents security and having a roof over my head.

Challenges for September: Start a Gratitude Journal and set some goals for 1 month, 6 months and 1 year. Write in your journal everyday and visualize your path to your goals and take at least 2 steps everyday to move towards your goals and see them come true!

Make your goals a top priority. You can do it!

Don’t Be Caught Off Guard By the Lie of Weight Loss Pills and Their Consequences
By Dana D Williams
Weight loss pills are not for everyone, and are not very effective in many cases. They are just a multi-billion dollar a year scam to those gullible enough to believe that they can circumvent the only way to actually lose weight which we all know is to eat healthy and exercise. They are deemed as one of the most convenient and effortless ways to lose weight, are not a standalone solution, and you will put the weight back on as soon as you stop taking them.

Diet pills are becoming more powerful yet remain unregulated. The advertising hype is focused on targeting every obese person’s vulnerable imagination, and are either prescription drugs or are available over-the-counter. They are not generally the answer to the average person’s weight program so should be used with caution. Weight loss pills aren’t subject to the same regulations as prescription drugs or other over-the-counter medications, so they can be sold even if their effectiveness is extremely limited, and not only a non-safe way of reducing weight, but are inefficient as well the weight loss pills have a fixed course.

Weight loss pills are the worst options for overweight people who really crave to lose weight fast but do not think they have enough time to do exercise. In fact below I will explain how you can use a free resource filled with advice and tips to lose weight and do exercises on the go…anywhere!

Weight loss marketing companies make claims of their products being easy to take, and even though many are natural weight loss pills and are available without prescription, they usually carry a potential for abuse, and in this case, abuse could carry potentially serious side effects. These pills are of really no great help to those who can no longer tolerate hard exercise so they can lose weight , and are very harmful since not all people have the time and interest to got to the gym regularly and may abuse these pills with unrealistic hopes. But don’t despair, there is hope!

I recently discovered a safe and amazingly effective way to lose 11 pounds every 10 days over and over! I couldn’t believe how simple and fast it was to do!

Introducing a Raw Food Diet to Help You Lose 10 Pounds Quickly
By Vanessa Raven
Do you need to lose 10 pounds quickly? Welcome to my world! I needed to lose 10 pounds quickly as swimsuit season was just round the corner, so guess what I did? I went on the raw food diet. Never heard of that before? As the name suggest, a raw food diet is one that allows you to eat only raw foods- raw vegetables, raw seeds and raw fruits. Nothing else!

I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be quite an adventure. I tantalized my taste buds with exotic vegetables and seeds that I had never even heard of before and the price I paid for my adventure… I lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks in fact. Of all the many weight loss diets I’ve tried out before, this was by far the best and most effective way that I’ve tried to lose 10 pounds quickly.

If you want to lose 10 pounds quickly, go ahead and try out the raw food diet; you will see it works wonders. All you need to do is give up all kinds of cooked foods for a while and feast on raw vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts. Seeds and nuts are protein-rich and will provide your body with the protein it needs. Complementing the raw food diet with plenty of water will give your weight loss endeavor an additional boost.

Cautionary Note: Raw vegetables are to be eaten as is; without being doused in any salad dressing or dip. Salad dressings and dips are fattening and will seriously jeopardize your plans to lose 10 pounds quickly.
