Yesterday was my Mom’s Birthday! Had such a good time having her out here! 💗

I had the honor of presenting a demo at the Panhandle Preparedness Expo a couple of weekends ago. It was an incredible experience, allowing me to connect with many members of our community. I even had the pleasure of meeting Jay, the Bonner County Sheriff, who kindly commended me for representing Sandpoint positively! I was truly honored and hope he remembers me when I might get pulled over for speeding. 😅😂

The concept of being prepared can take many forms. The real question often is, what are we preparing for? It could be getting ready for the winter season or bracing ourselves for a "SHTF" (Stuff Hits The Fan) scenario.

During my demo, I focused on how I prepared for my time on Alone. I delved into not only my 10 selected items but also the significance of appropriate clothing. Clothing plays a vital role and can determine your survival in challenging situations. In many ways, clothing becomes your shelter, enabling survival even without the need for a fire. “I can’t control the weather but I can control being prepared for it.”

Throughout the presentation, I shared insights into the ups and downs of each item I chose, the lessons I learned during my journey on Alone, and the crucial aspect of selecting the right gear for specific situations.

Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for upcoming gear reviews. Stay tuned for more!

Are you following along on Sacred Cedars Wilderness School, this week we’re talking all about Off-Grid Water!

Living off-grid is a beautiful adventure, but one of its essential aspects is managing water effectively. 💧

In this world of self-sufficiency, water holds immense value for various purposes:

🚿 Showers: Off-grid living doesn't mean giving up the luxury of a refreshing shower. Non-potable water can keep you feeling clean and refreshed.

🍽️ Washing Dishes: Washing dishes is a daily chore, even in off-grid life. Non-potable water is perfect for keeping your dishes sparkling clean.

🚽 Bathroom Use: Consider opting for an outdoor outhouse instead of needing water for a conventional toilet. This sustainable choice can save precious water resources.

💧 Drinking Water: Of course, potable water is a priority for drinking. It's the source of life, and ensuring its purity is a must.

👩‍🍳 Water for Cooking and Food Prep: Clean water is essential for cooking and preparing meals. It enhances the taste and safety of your food.

And let's not forget its significance for activities like primitive skills, such as braintanning. Water is a versatile resource in the world of self-sufficiency! 💦🌿

💧🌿

The moment we've all been waiting for is here—Off-Grid October has officially arrived! 🌿🏞️ Our Energy Exchange Program is in full swing, offering you a unique opportunity to contribute to our off-grid community and gain valuable skills. But that's not the only exciting part! We're thrilled to invite you to share your off-grid stories, ask questions about the skills you'd like to learn, and join the conversation about our thrilling projects designed to keep the land wild and beyond off-grid. Throughout October and mid-November, we're hard at work preparing the land and enhancing infrastructure for next spring's outdoor adventures. Get ready for a wild ride of learning and growth! 🌄🌲 For those who can't be here in person, you can still contribute through in-kind donations, financial support, or by enrolling in our upcoming online courses. Your support keeps our off-grid community thriving and vibrant. 🌍💻 Stay tuned for the exhilarating Off-Grid content we'll be sharing throughout the month! From fascinating stories to practical tips, we've got it all. 📷✨ Join us in celebrating Off-Grid October by sharing your own off-grid projects and stories. Let's unite and celebrate the joys and challenges of off-grid living together.

Embarking on a backpacking journey is like stepping into a world of adventure and self-discovery. 🌄 But the key to a successful and fulfilling experience lies in the art of preparation. At Sacred Wilderness School, we understand that readiness extends beyond just packing bags; it's about cultivating a mindset and equipping oneself with skills for the road ahead.

For 3 days prior to each trek, we dive into the heart of preparation, ensuring every backpacker is equipped with the essentials. 🎒 We cover the basics: mastering wilderness survival skills, selecting the right tools and equipment, and stocking up on nourishing food. But our preparation goes even deeper.

We believe in the power of mental readiness. As we prepare our gear, we're also nurturing the mind to open up to the immense healing that lies within the journey. 🌿 The trail offers more than breathtaking vistas; it provides a canvas for self-reflection, growth, and transformation. By priming your mind to embrace the challenges and joys, you're setting the stage for a truly enriching experience.

So, whether you're a seasoned backpacker or new to the wilderness, remember that preparation isn't just about packing—it's about embracing the unknown with a heart full of curiosity and a mind open to healing. 🌲✨ Join us at Sacred Wilderness School as we journey beyond the physical and embark on a quest of the soul. 🌍🌱

During my incredible wilderness survival adventure on the show ALONE, one of my crucial decisions was choosing pemmican as my extra food ration, and it turned out to be a game-changer! 🌟

Pemmican, a traditional food of native and indigenous people, was the perfect choice due to its nutrient-rich qualities, packed with vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins, essential for endurance during the winter and all year long. 🍃

But here's the twist: I treated my pemmican as more than just sustenance; it became my "spirit food." Instead of using it solely as a meal, I used it as a daily reward for my body, negotiating with my belly to keep the hunger at bay and my energy levels up. 🙌🏼

Choosing an extra food ration rather than an additional tool was initially about having a safety net for hunger, but looking back, I am immensely grateful for my decision. It allowed me to work with my digestive system, keeping it active and preventing it from shutting down. This approach played a significant role in my longevity during the challenge. 🌿

What amazed me was the dual nourishment that pemmican provided. It not only kept my belly from feeling the hunger, it also fed me on a spiritual and energetic level through our daily ritual together. 💫

On the day before I emerged from the wilderness, I took my last nickel-size bite of pemmican, a bittersweet farewell to the faithful companion that sustained me throughout the journey. And it's worth mentioning that I skipped pemmican on days when other food was available, showing effective ration management and even coming out with some leftover fruit leather. 😂🍂

My wilderness experience with pemmican taught me the importance of finding harmony between physical and spiritual nourishment, a connection that truly helped me thrive in the wilderness. 🌲
