HuntingIts easy to assume that all self reliantfamilies or survivalist know how tohunt. But that isnt the case. Manydont even have the skills to find andharvest squirrels or rabbits, not tomention big game. To be successfulon a regular basis, these skills willhave to be learned and will usuallytake some time. Its not as easy asgoing out to the City park and potshooting city squirrels.You can bet that when the SHTF,

others will be out putting food on thetable. The same food that should beheaded to your table!Most hunting skills cant be learnedfrom a book or video. Your best bet isto find someone who is successful andtag along. have them show you whatto look for and specifics on eachgame animal. At the very least, youllneed to get out in the woods andwatch how animals exist in their partof the World. Once you understandhow animals move and use thewoods, youll be on the right path tobeing a good hunter.

Trap & SnareTrapping gives the self sufficientperson or survivalist a whole otheravenue for procuring fresh meat.

Unlike hunting, traps that you set areworking for you around the clock. Youcan also set a lot of traps in order tocover a wide area. This increases yourchance of catching something for theSupper table.Whats more important is knowingwhat type of trap to use in order tocatch your intended target. If yourewanting to catch a Wolf, then youllbe sorely disappointed if you use atrap or snare intended for a Mink.The Survivalist needs to know how touse Snares, Live/Box traps, leg holdtraps and body gripper traps. All havetheir use in the Survivalist tool shed!Snares can be used in a survivalsituation to catch everything fromRabbits to big game animals like Deerand Bear.Most States have a TrappersAssociation. They routinely havemeetings or weekend get-togetherswhere there are seminars on basicand advanced trapping. Theresalways something for beginners. Lookyours up and get on the list today.

Communications(If you are in aclosed community, the communitymay choose to run their owncommunications systems instead of

rely upon the telephone company.This can be accomplished with anelectronic phone system. However, ifthis is the case, specialized skillswould be required to maintain thesystem, and it would most likely bemore than an a one man job)

Ham Radio Short Wave Radio CB GMRS FRS land line mobile/cellular/satallite

All will be important assuming thewired and unwired networks are stillrunning post SHTF. Assume standardcommunications via wired and cellularmobile will be disrupted and plan forthat.

Communications (CB, HAM,Shortwave, telephone,wireless microwave,wireless satellite,switchboards, dispatch,telegraph)

HAM RadioIn the case of a disaster, a HAM radiowill allow you to communicate withthe outside World to find out whatsgoing on.There are plenty of books and courseson operating a HAM radio, all that isrequired is a little time and effort.After Hurricane Ike struck, we werewithout power for two weeks. At theend of this time, I was really gettinguse to not having a TV blaring everyday or phones ringing. I was verycontent to hang around my homewhile cleaning up the debris left bythe Hurricane. Once we got powerback on, I was amazed at how muchnews Id missed out on. I was alsoamazed at how much uselessinformation we have coming at useveryday without realizing it!

Learn to use a HAM radio. Get yourlicense, find out what type ofequipment you really need and getgoing!

ondConstruction skills Stick Welding

Learning to stick weld is notthat hard. You just want to get

proficient enough to be ableto know which rods to use orwhich amp setting to use soyou can join two pieces ofmetal. Its not like youreplanning on making welds onthe Alaskan Pipeline. Are you?Many community colleges nowgive classes on Welding. Andthey are very reasonable.Once you own a welder, youllfind a million and one uses forit. Not to mention should you

ever need some extra cash,you can barter or start yourown small welding businesson the side.

The little Lincoln crackerboxes are 220V welders thatcan be picked up cheap in alot of places such as PawnShops or Craigslist. These aregreat for nearly any situationyoull find yourself needing awelder in a survival situation.But they require a 220V powersource. A better choise for theSelf Reliant family is aportable generator/weldercombo. This way you can takeyour welder with you plushave the convienance of aportable generator. Honda,Lincoln and Hobart as well asothers all make excellentcombo units. Just stay awayfrom the cheapies, especiallyif theyre from China orIndonesia. They may be fineor they may leave you

swearing.

Butdo you know how to fix those guns ifthey break? Can you disassembleyour guns, clean them andreassemble them and have themwork properly? Sadly, from what Iveseen, most people cant. Some

believe they can, but their idea ofcleaning is spraying a half can of WD-40 into the action and calling it clean.Do you keep spare parts around foryour guns? Probably not. But youshould and you should learn how tofix a firearm if it breaks, especially themilitary type firearms.Brownells has a huge library ofVideos and Books on Gunsmithing.Grab yourself some that cover yourtype of guns and learn how to clean
