What to do if you are Lost in the Woods

Twin On Tour Posted on November 1, 2020 by kayleneNovember 7, 2020

If You Get Lost in The Woods Okay, so one moment you are enjoying a nice stroll through the woods and taking in the natural beauty of the wilderness, the next, you suddenly notice that you must have taken a wrong turn somewhere and have no clue where you are. There comes a moment, when you get lost in the woods, when the woods begin to feel like home. Do you try heading back? Carry on going the direction you’re heading? What if it gets dark?

Top 8 Deadly Myths About Survivalism

Twin On Tour Posted on September 6, 2020 by kayleneSeptember 6, 2020

For the last several years, our family has been living what some may call the “survivalist” lifestyle. Actually, we live the off-grid (so far off the grid that there is no landline and no cell phone service available), self-sufficient life. We’re not here to get away from the world for a few days while chaos happens and calms down – we don’t think that’s the way it will go, anyway.

Useful Books on Survivalism

Twin On Tour Posted on August 20, 2020 by clarkAugust 20, 2020

It should be noted that most books on survivalism are written for entertainment purposes. Those that are not written for entertainment tend to focus on short term survival.  There are also very few experts when it comes to survivalism.  Yes, there are those few people that have spent time living in the wilderness, and there are a few exceptional accounts from people who have spent years surviving on their own in war zones, but most of these accounts have little relationship to what Americans would face if something dire should happen here.  Remember, real survival situations tend to be few … Continue reading →

Growing Your Own Survival Food

Twin On Tour Posted on August 18, 2020 by clarkAugust 18, 2020

With mass quantities of food produced and shipped all over the world, it is not likely that many people in developed areas are forced to grow their own food. In fact, for the average citizen it is only a hobby. Growing your own food, though, has direct benefits. Increased security and health are primary, as the market fluctuates and dangerous chemicals are added to mass-produced food products.

(If you don’t have to leave your house then the 72 Hour kit can become part of your supplies for in-home survival…
