00:00:14 Speaker 1: My name is Clay Nukleman. 00:00:16 Speaker 2: This is a production of the Bear Grease podcast called The Bear Grease Render, where we render down, dive deeper, and look behind the scenes of the actual Bear Grease podcast presented by f h F Gear American Maid, purpose built hunting and fishing gear that’s designed to be as rugged as the place as we explore. So I’m holding in my hand my right hand, the femur bone of an American black bear, a big one. This is the black bear bone of the of the bear that…
As an introduction, I started building Vertical & Yagi Beam antennas in the early 1980s for CB radio. When the FCC dropped the ‘Morse Code’ requirement in 2007, many ‘tone deaf’ people like myself, transitioned to ham radio. My entire family are either General or Extra Class hams. Having this license and operating ability is an essential ‘Life Skill’, like the ability to read, write and speak the native language. No tool is useful, in unskilled hands – unless you’re planning on selling/bartering it away, right? Our family and I have taught Technician, General, and Extra classes – but, none…
On February 4, 211, Roman Emperor Septimius Severus died in Eboracum (York) in England, leaving the Roman Empire in the hands of his two quarrelsome sons, Caracalla and Geta. From his biography: “Septimius Severus was the first Roman Emperor from Africa. He ruled from 193 to 211 AD and is known for having expanded the Roman Empire through military campaigns. Severus began his career in the Roman government, rising through the ranks during a period of political instability. He became emperor in 193 AD, a year known as the Year of the Five Emperors due to its rapid succession of…

One of the great joys of working in a gun store with a fully equipped and staffed gunsmithing shop is you get to see—and sometimes assist in—all kinds of cool customization projects on old firearms that otherwise would have seen the last of their useful days. For example, way back at the turn of the millennium, one of our suppliers had some surplus Turkish Mausers at the almost-too-good-to-be-true price of 25 bucks whole- sale. At that price, I figured it’d be worth it to take a flyer on a couple. If they weren’t too awful, we could order a dozen…
It’s a cool, misty morning in the rolling hills and sand dunes northeast of Casper, Wyoming. It’s the middle of archery elk season—September 18, to be exact. A handful of bulls are bugling and fighting before dawn as Mark (a pseudonym, at request of the hunter) and his three buddies move into position. Both the elk and the hunters are on a small parcel of state land surrounded mostly by private ranches, save for a sliver of BLM through which the hunters hiked in from a nearby county road. It’s the last morning of what’s been a difficult few days…

We’ve read SurvivalBlog for several years, my wife first (she’s the farmer), and more recently, me… the last 4-5 years. (I’m the farmer’s husband, but, grew up on 250 acres, farming). I took particular note of the recommendation ‘not’ to use/buy appliances which use 18650 batteries (Li-ion rechargeable). We bought four of these 18650 batteries 2.5 years ago, and use them nearly every day. This particular variety is not in stock on Amazon – however, the replacements are well worth considering, if you’re actively using flashlights. Our old standard flashlights, were Mag-Lites, 3, 4, 6 D-cell versions, which we’d had…
