Mountain Boy Journals - Paracord Bracelets

Below is the entry form for my drawing. Be sure to enter below.

I will be doing some videos soon on all the uses for paracord and why I feel it is important to carry paracord wherever you go.

I’ve compiled a short list of some of the uses:

  • To put up a tent
  • To make snares
  • To put up a hemock
  • To hang your food bag on a limb
  • To use for fishing line
  • To make a belt
  • To make suspenders
  • To make a sling
  • To make a gun sling
  • To make a turnicate

Stay tuned for my videos…

Summer 2013 Metal Detector Series – Part 1

I thought that my metal detector was arriving today only to be disappointed to see my Mom’s pressure cooker.

I am so blessed to have my Mammy and Pappy purchase me what all the kids would want.

I can’t wait to see the metal detector and unpackage, pull it out of the box and go outside to find a large treasure chest in my yard.  I want to find my Mom something cool and buy a cool truck for my friend’s the Smith’s.

I am going to spend my summer looking for gold, other cool metals and stuff.  I would like to take you along for the adventure so, stay tuned.

Someday I want to live in Alaska with my Mom and Dad.  The land there is even more vast and I will go look through the whole area that I will own and have a fun time out in Alaska too.  Maybe you will still be following me then and I can share those adventures too!

That darn pressure cooker!

My Turkey Hunt

My dad and I went out turkey hunting. He and I heard a turkey so we stopped to Mountain Boy Journals - My Turkey Huntsee if we could get it, but Jonathan had to go to work and  scared the turkey off.

So we went on and heard another so we stopped and set up the decoy and got in behind the branches.  We waited  for close to an hour then six turkeys came running in to the decoy, but one of the bigger turkeys got ahead.

Then Glen made a cluck sound and the turkey stopped.  That was the end of him and the others went running back to the woods. That was a cool hunt.

To view my hunt you can go to my YouTube Channel here:  http://youtube.com/mountainboyjournals

Unexpected Events in the Wilderness

When mom and I went to get my Mammy and Pappy Klinger there was a tree down on our return trip home from the high winds.  It was across the road and we thought it was heavy, but I could move it out of the way by myself.  If it had been heavier we would have had a hard time and would have needed other tools for the job.  Mom didn’t have a chainsaw this time, but she had a chain in the back of the truck just for this occasion and she also had an axe.  We didn’t need it this time, but living where we do it is necessary to travel with some of these essential items because you may see a fallen tree.

 

Here are some tips:

If your truck brakes down you should have a blanket with you until helps comes. During the winter months you should always carry extra clothes and a sleeping bag because out here the weather turns quickly.   If you run out of food out in the middle of  wilderness you should have a survival kit with you that includes water, a fire starter, peanuts and other sustainable foods like dried fruit. Also be sure to tell your Friends or Family where you are going.
