Survival - Field of Vision

If you ask a guy why they deer hunt chances are you will get different answers. Some will answer that they hunt for sport and others will say they hunt for the food. You may get other answers but those are the two main answers that is going to be discussed. Some hunters hunt with a bow and others hunt with a shotgun. Either way the results are the same, meat on the table.

When deer hunting for sport a hunters goal is to try to get the buck with the biggest rack. Most that hunt for sport will tell you that the pure enjoyment of being in the outdoors is a thrill. Even if the goal is hunting for sport, those hunters bring home a lot of meat for their family table. When a hunter gets a nice looking rack a lot of times the hunter will take it to a taxidermist and get it mounted for his home wall. Some hunters even have their own trophy room.

Hunting for the reason of providing food for the family table may seem caveman but a lot of hunters do it. Hunting is not just for men. A lot of women do it too. Whomever is providing the meat for the table can find the taste of venison as a delicious meal. Venison is much like beef, except with a more wild taste. There is thousands of venison recipes. One big difference between beef and venison is that venison is not corn fed and has much less fat on it.

So regardless of why a hunter hunts the result is good meat on the table, a cheaper way to fill the freezer, and a less populated forest. Hunting seasons differ depending where you live. It's worth checking into and seeing what you need to do to be the next big deer hunter.

Good Question -- as with lots of outdoor stuff, this all becomes personal preference and needs.

I hunt in Virginia (not too far from humans EVER), and in Colorado where you can still get pretty remote. Also, I am a physician and prior military survival instructor, so my kit is probably weighted (literally and figuratively) differently than others might be.

As you often hear, the first tool of survival is your brains -- starting there, everything else is pretty much optional.

In Mine:
Water or way to purify water. I carry iodine tablets
Waterproof matches
Signal mirror
whistle
Toilet paper - in a zip-lock bag
space blanket
a fairly advanced medical kit (this is more for if I come across someone needing help)
several pairs of pocket hand/toe warmers -- the chemical kind that just start to get warm when you take them out of the pack
about 20 feet of 550 army parachute cord

Other things not in kit but they always go with me:
food - snacks and usually a denty moore beef stew with a pop-off lid.
GPS with extra batteries -- don't forget to mark the trailhead before you start of into the backcountry
cell phone (often I am where there is no signal, but sometimes hilltops can get a weak signal)
LED head lamp
Knife - I carry 2. One large (Buckmaster -- the knife I got for survival school in 1986 and it is still a great tool) one small (a Gerber multitool - knife, pliers, saw, etc.).
I almost always carry a firearm of some kind -- even when I'm just hiking
some type of waterproof outer shell
hat

A great reference is FM 21-76. It is the military Survival manual. Not something you can pack when you're on foot, but it's a great reference and kind of fun to read. It has improved a lot since my first copy. I teach my son a few things out of the manual each time we go camping. He thinks we're just doing cool "outdoor" things.

Good first aid kits that are light and complete for the non-medical person are Adventure Medical Kits -- google them -- many variations to fit your needs.

in the back woods near a fresh water stream or river(has to be deep enough for fish), because stream water is safer too drink because it is constantly moving which makes it harder for bacteria to accumulate. and the back woods because most animals retreat away from civilization so there would be more game for you to hunt. and remember, all fresh water fish can be eaten, raw or cooked.

Are you totally hopeless when it comes to shopping? Do you often find yourself staring in stores at merchandise and not knowing what to choose? Do you have more bad hair days than good? Do you have trouble picking out the right shoes? Are you inept or afraid to use makeup?

Maybe you should hire a fashion consultant. Fashion is not for everyone. Some women just do not know how to pull the look together. Or they are too busy to shop. Or they just have no interest in clothing and feel that they can better spend their time getting ahead by working harder.

Hillary Clinton, when she first became First Lady, was a mess. She wore a headband and was generally unconcerned about her appearance. She could not understand why everyone was concerned with her appearance at all. After all, she was an intelligent woman who was very successful in her career. But she came across to the American people as frumpy.

In order to improve her image, she hired a fashion consultant. Take a look at Hillary Clinton now. She is poised. She is polished and she is always dressed impeccably as well as professionally. She is more interested in politics than clothing and probably would rather read the Wall Street Journal than Vogue. There is nothing wrong with this. Her interest lie elsewhere. But, unfortunately, hard work does not always get you the promotion or success you desire. Unfortunately, we are judged by our appearance. And if we want to succeed, we have to look successful. Men have it easy. They throw on a shirt, tie, suit and shoes and they are off to work. No one notices. Unfortunately, women are judged a little more on their appearance, even in this day and age. It is important not to only be good at your job, but also to look the part of a professional.

A fashion consultant can help you pull your look together. They can tell you which type of clothes you should wear and which colors look most flattering on you. Women no longer have to dress like men to get ahead, they can wear colors, they can look feminine. They can maintain their feminine qualities and still look professional. Choosing the right clothes and accessories are difficult for many women, particularly those who have spent so much time working and studying in their field. These women can benefit greatly from a fashion consultant.

In addition to helping you choose the right clothes, shoes and accessories for work, a fashion consultant can help you find the right hairstyle that is both professional and flattering for your face shape. They can even advise you on color.

If you are afraid to wear makeup, a fashion consultant can instruct you on the correct ways to apply makeup to enhance your features. Makeup is supposed to bring out the best part of your features, not be used as a mask. A big mistake women make when applying makeup is either using too much during the day or not enough. Or not blending it properly. A fashion consultant can show you wish colors look best for you, which to wear to work and how to apply and blend it properly.

A woman I knew where I used to work was brilliant. She was probably the smartest attorney I ever knew. But she was not going to rise in the corporate ladder. The reason? She did not care about her appearance one iota. She never bothered with her hair or wore makeup and the clothes she wore looked like she got them from a rummage sale. She was successful, smart and had money. But she had no clue as to how to dress for success.

If you want to truly be successful, you have to look the part. You have to not only be good at what you do, but you have to look professional and polished. If you are too busy to be concerned about your appearance, hire a fashion consultant to help you. You will be surprised at the results.

How to Field Dress a Deer

Here are a few of my favorite places in Northwest Oregon
Timothy Lake is up past Mt. Hood and very relaxing but my husband never has much luck with fishing. It has a nice trail around the lake for hike or bike ride. Little Crater lake is about 15 minute from there. It is a very deep, very clear lake the size of a pond.
Trillium lake is also up by Mt. Hood it is also very pretty and my uncle loves fishing there in the summer.

There a lot of place on the Oregon coast but most you need to make reservations months in advance unless you go in the middle of the week and plan to leave before the weekend.

Also the are a lot of nice campground on the Clackamas river past Estacada. At the end of July Estacada has a summer celebration and has some rafting events that take place along the Clackamas.

Make sure when you go to bring stuff for smores because no camping trip is complete without them.

Have fun!

G'day,

Without being silly I could recommend taking part in winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, etc.

I live in upstate NY and am out and about all the time in winter. I like it, actually. When I was young & thin, I skied.

How hot & sticky do you like it? The US SE is one locale, but I couldn't stand their hot & muggy summers.

San Diego has a great climate and is not too far from hills & mountains. Remember earthquakes.

You might want to check out Oregon & Washington state. Wikipedia can give you the climate on some of the major cities there.

Accuweather & The Weather Channel web sites can give you some climate data.

There are climate maps of the US. Then match them up with geography.

Reno/Carson City might appeal to you.

I hope, this helps.

AT Thru-hike: Setting up camp 10/26

[affmage source="ebay" results="10"]Camp Hike[/affmage]

Any fishing enthusiast can find fishing camps for sale in Canada very attractive. But then what should be your criteria? How do you find them?

Think of amenities.

Any fishing camp should be complete with all the necessary amenities. These include fish freezing and cleaning services, boat rentals, and an option for a guide. You can also opt to go a little higher so you can enjoy what's is considered more than basic. This way, you'll have a more laidback and comfortable lifestyle.

Check out other added services.

There are a number of fish camps that include maid services. This means you can come home on a clean cabin right after your fishing adventure. Others can have personal showers installed in each of the cabins. If not, then you have to get used to common shower houses. If you are too concerned of personal hygiene, then you should settle with the former.

See if shops are included in the deal.

The majority of the fishing camps in Canada have bait and tackle stores. If you want more information about them, you can request those from the camp owner. Usually, other items sold include soda, ice, toiletries, and a small section of groceries.

A store can be added source of income for you. You can man it while you're on fishing vacation or you can ask someone to supervise it for you. Either way, you should ask the camp owner if the store is included in the deal.

Learn about the restaurants.

More modern and high-end fishing camps have complete restaurant services. This means that someone can take care of fish preparation and cooking so once you're out of the water, you'll have a sumptuous meal. When you wish to spend extra money on this type of service, you're assured that you'll get your moneys worth.

Determine how near you are to fishing grounds.

The main reason why you're thinking of buying a fishing camp is because you're after fish. The best fishing camps up for sale are those that are situated near lakes or rivers where you can fish anytime you want and not worry about having to go back quickly to camp. You can also choose a well-secluded area to avoid too much competition.

In shopping for fishing camps for sale, you can start scouting in one of your fishing trips or ask families and friends in Canada to do that for you. But for something quicker, you can simply surf the Internet. You can find great websites that offer a list of fishing camps open for sale. This also allows you to evaluate each of them carefully so you can pick nothing but the best.
