I hail from a generation who could do no more than shout to gain the attention of fellow sportsmen, and my first experience with two-way radios was far from encouraging. Through snowflakes I could make out my brother working down the opposite ridge less than 200 yards away, and I still couldn't raise him on the radio.
man that is a really good article. i have never thought about how much a two way radio could help you if your in a situation that would normaly get every body else in a panic. i learned a lot from this artical thanks for writing it Keith McCafferty.
Gunpowder can provide a hot flame to ignite damp tinder. Tap out a bullet to access the powder. Pour a small pile of powder onto a fabric square and place the cloth onto a nest of tinder. Ignite the driest tinder and stand back. The powder will flare up long enough to help dry out and catch fire to the damp tinder.
In 1965 I worked up my first handload, took myself to the range, and sat cowering behind the rifle for five minutes before I got the nerve to pull the trigger. I was convinced that I was about to splatter important parts of my person up and down the firing line.
"Greg and I took a guided hunting trip to Newfoundland to celebrate his safe return from his third tour in Iraq and Afghanistan. We'd been hunting all day and probably covered 10 miles on foot when Greg killed his caribou. After we covered the caribou with some branches to hide it from eagles, we began the long trek to the truck.

I CAN EASILY measure a rifle's worth in cold mechanical terms, but not so the lever action. Let me put it this way: Can you picture John Wayne with anything but a lever gun? It's easier to imagine Roy Rogers accompanying himself on the harp, or the Lone Ranger yelling "Hi-yo, Titanium." The lever action isn't just a type of rifle; it's part of our American culture.
When a man is faced with spending an unexpected night outdoors, his gut reaction is to pat his pockets for matches. Besides providing warmth, a fire's cheerful light is an antidote to the spiritual pall that accompanies the fall of darkness. But in heavy snow, when deadfall is buried and wet, a fire can be hard to spark and difficult to maintain. At such times, your best option is to use the snow to your advantage.
