Personal Survival Kits:: The Soap Box & Shoulder Bag Rig Kindle Edition

by John Elden Gibbons (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

Join Outdoor Expert and Anthropological Writer John Elden Gibbons in this beginner-to-expert camping how-to guide.

You may know John Elden and his wife, Teresa S. Landry, from “Rockbottom Survival Skills: The Podcast.” and his TV show: Rockbottom Survival Skills: The Reality.”

John has made it his mission to introduce 100,000 people to the outdoors and, by so doing, give them the ability to live deliberately. This mission is inspired by the works of Henry David Thoreau, quoted here, “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.” John’s devotion to nature and wilderness skills was nurtured at the side of his grandfather, Euell T. Gibbons, whose life works and writings have been likened to Thoreau.

Euell wrote, “My love affair with nature is so deep that I am not satisfied with being a mere onlooker or nature tourist. I crave a more real and meaningful relationship. The spicy teas and tasty delicacies I prepare from wild ingredients are the bread and wine in which I have communion and fellowship with nature, and with the Author of that nature.”

This series of Essential Guides is for anyone who wants to
create a self-sufficient lifestyle in “communion and fellowship with nature.”

In this volume:

Personal Survival Kits: The Soap Box & Shoulder Bag Rig
The Essential Facts: From 24 hrs to 14 days.

We have all grown up with the story of Daniel Boone. Boone often said, “I have never been lost. But I sure have been powerful mixed up for a day or two!”

Nothing can replace the knowledge you have and the skill you have acquired. A survival kit can provide items you may need quickly and immediately. A skilled person can make or make do with resources they find in the field. Resources are primarily based on the geography and time of year you may find yourself. If the resources you need are not in the area you find yourself in, you would need to travel to a new place to find them. Travel may not always be possible.

Survival kits can be simple or complex. This guide is about two kits that you can make yourself—packed with valuable tips and tricks.

Rockbottom Survival Skills

You wake up to: No Shelter,
No water,
No Income and No Food.
Now what?
Answer:  Rockbottom Survival Skills

It is not his intention to ever teach someone how to live poor but rather As Henry David Thoreau said to “Live Deliberately.”

John Elden and his family decided to get off the treadmill and live deliberately. Reduce their expenses and increase their income. Create a self-sufficient lifestyle. A life lived on their own terms. The joy of a close relationship with the land. All done without eliminating or scrimping on the joys of life. Time for travel, food, fun and adventure. Safety and Security has been on top of the list for our family and kids.

An Outdoorsman Talks with God

I woke to a satellite phone call in the Adirondack woods.
I knew it was not going to be good news. The WCA was holding the phone.

I just looked up from my sleeping bag and said,
“My father just died?”
“I’m sorry, man,” came the response.

My father, a retired Air Force Tstg., had served several tours in Vietnam and Thailand,
TDYs into Nha Trang from the Philippines in the 60’s supporting OV-1 aircraft. Later Air America Trips departing from NKP and Phuket Thailand. Only God know what he was doing there. He had survived the Tet offensive while in Saigon. He had seen the beginning of the war to the end. It took 30 years, but Vietnam and agent orange had finally killed him.

At 14, I had given my life to Christ. I knew the words and I knew my Bible. I prayed and I tried.

I failed over and again in God’s plan. Sure, I had plenty of things and people in my life.

But still, I failed to hear and I was failing to live up to God’s plan.

It wasn’t until much, much  later on that mountain when I was broken and exhausted – it was at that moment that I felt God’s power and learned how to listen. I wish I could tell you that it turned my life around immediately.

But that came even later…

First Longhunter

If you Love a “Swashbuckling Adventure,” this is the book for you. “First Longhunter Delivers…” John Elden, The grandson of Euell Gibbons, brings you the story of 17-year-old Conrad Decker. Long hunter. This is the story of 1750 and the Adventure Excitement Romance of the new world. John brings you an outdoor adventure in the swashbuckling style of bygone writers…. This is not the last of the Mohican’s but a world of experience. A Longhunter or long hunter (both are correct) was a 1700s explorer and hunter who made expeditions into the American frontier wilderness for as much as six months at a time. “The Long Hunter was peculiar to Southwest Virginia. Most long hunts started in the Holston River Valley near Chilhowie, Virginia.” The hunters came from there and the adjacent valley of the Clinch River. They were landowners or residents. The parties of two or three men usually started their hunts in October. The area they hunted is now Kentucky, and later they would move into the Ohio Valley. They would also venture into the Carolina’s.

Dutch Oven Cooking

with John Elden Gibbons

The Dutch oven is the original slow cooker, bread oven, colonial
fireplace, and camp cooker. It has been called the “World’s Greatest Pot.”
Both the first-timer and the old hand will love this book. No wilderness, outdoor,
or backyard cooking library is complete without this book. No BBQ or Chuckwagon can
call themselves genuine without a Dutch oven dish in the chow line.
