Posted @withrepost • @thesurvivalsummit In less than 2 weeks we start shooting our next film, which will be a Wilderness Medical film, with @graybeardedgreenberet. Joshua is a former Army Ranger and Green Beret turned wilderness skills instructor. He teaches a hybrid blend of emergency and tactical survival skills, bushcraft and preparedness that takes the best and most important skills from each into a no-nonsense system. Joshua is a full-time instructor for the Pathfinder School in Ohio, founded by Dave Canterbury, and teaches courses at his home base in upstate NY, as well as across the country.

It doesn’t matter what you can do or what you know when your well-fed, cozy, warm, and comfortable, with optimal conditions. It matters what you can do when you are cold, wet, tired, stressed, and hungry. That is the real you that you will be relying on in an emergency. Never underestimate the value of knowledge of self...how you react outside your comfort zone.

"If you have a life-threatening bleed, you have wh

"If you have a life-threatening bleed, you have what could be the rest of your life to figure out how to stop it." Many of us use sharp things in the wilderness; knives, axes, etc. Some of us even use firearms for hunting or self-defense. Unfortunately, we also live in a time where active shooters are becoming more and more common.
Regardless of why, would you know what to do if faced with a life-threatening bleed? Do you know what to carry to handle them, if needed? Trained and equipped help can be minutes, hours, or even days away depending on what situation you are in.

I would encourage everyone who ventures out into the wild and plays with sharp things, or firearms for whatever reason (be it hunting or concealed carry), or just frequents areas that are heavily populated (and therefore a risk for active shooters) to make 2019 the last year they weren't prepared for a life-threatening injury like a major bleed.

The first of many course on the GB2 Distance Learning Center is about controlling bleeds in a Remote Wilderness Emergency, but the skills are applicable to any life-threatening bleed.
Direct Pressure and Elevation; Hemostatic Agents, Wound Packing and Pressure Dressings; Tourniquets; and what to pack in your own kits so that you are ready.

I'll also cover how to improvise for when you find yourself unprepared or the correct supplies run out.

This is an extremely important course that I feel is valuable to everyone. No time like the present to learn these skills.

I'm not one for resolutions. I just keep doing the best I can every day and trying to improve constantly. Anything worth doing with your precious time on earth is worth doing to the best of your ability.

I do like to take a bit of time and look back on the progress for the year and adjust as necessary and reflect on whether or not time was spent in the right places, on the right priorities, or whether distractions and broken focus hindered my progress for the year.

That also forces me to reflect on what is actually important and what needs to be the focus and priority. For me it's pretty simple: my wife and kids, and being out enjoying nature (with them, if possible). Another huge priority for me is my profession, because it allows me to (you guessed it) be with my wife and kids and out enjoying nature. The outstanding byproduct of that is that I get to work with people I love like brothers, and connect with people in a way that I never could before and at a scale I never could have imagined.

I think an exercise like this is valuable for anyone. What's important to you? What actually matters in the end? Whatever it is, figure out how to do it more.

I got my first pack from @mysteryranch issued to me, and after service when I was doing private military contracting I missed it so much I bought one on my own dime and used it to COMFORTABLY carry loads up to 140lbs. Granted not as comfortable as not carrying a load that heavy, but extremely comfortable no matter the weight. It fit right, distributes weight right, and carried right. I also really liked the 3-zip system they use, makes it easy to get into the pack from the top or the front. Once again I am choosing @mysteryranch packs because I know I can count on them. Tactical 2-day Assault Pack; Urban Assault 21 for my updated Emergency Kit; Urban Assault 21 in Shadow for my updated Bug Out Bag.

Posted @withrepost • @diomedes_industries My first attempt at a historic center seam French style trader knife sheath for @graybeardedgreenberet I learned a lot about how to make the sheath and why they were made this way. •

I have wanted a sheath from my buddy out at @diomedes_industries for a couple of years now. He absolutely knocked this one out of the park for me. Traditional Center Seam sheath, very appropriate for my French Trade Knife by Jeff White that I scored on @selfrelianceoutfitters. #18thcentury #frenchtradeknife #hudsonbay #mountainman #trapper #centerseamsheath

Beautiful blanket of snow on my part of the #Adirondacks yesterday and overnight. We really enjoy waking up to that soft quietness that comes from a fresh blanket of snow.

Posted @withrepost • @emberlight.media We love it when a plan comes together but always have a Plan C if the first two don’t work out as expected. Murphy’s Law states that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Murphy was a very wise man and speaks the absolute truth. Adapting to and overcoming adversity in the field means being prepared for anything that the situation throws at you. We recently encountered a perfect storm of events that put us right in the middle of an actual survival situation during the filming of Four Days. Stay tuned for details because you definitely do not want to miss this.

Repost @pathfindersurvival we often get asked just how good is @weatherwool? It’s this good. Coldest class of the year and we all chose it. Heirloom quality wool that really is that much better. @weatherwool goes where I go. #instructorlife @corporalscorner
