“Get Home Alive” Medical Kit LITE Review – Wild Hedgehog Tactical
The first aid kit I’ve used for the past few years was a small kit from REI. While it was was small and light, it wouldn’t have benefited me in the case of a real emergency. I’m by no means a medical expert, so you won’t see packing sutures, etc. My main goal if something […]
DIY Hunting Saddle – Rock Harness with SitDrag
Saddle hunting is one of those things that I’ve always been reluctant to try because of the cost of entry. Well, this modification allowed me to make a minimalist saddle from my rock harness for about $40. The idea is to use a SitDrag, which is a commercially available tree sling that’s meant to be […]
Paracord Cobra Weave Tutorial
A paracord cobra weave really isn’t a necessity by any means, but it looks cool, and can cover your stand and sticks with less total material than a straight wrap. It’s extremely easy to do, and can be done pretty fast once you get a rhythm going. This tutorial is based off of a request […]

A DIY tip to climb trees higher, faster, and lighter when using climbing sticks. Back in 2013 I made a climbing stick modification video showing how to make double stirrup extensions. While they’ll work for full length sticks as well as mini sticks, more often than not, a single stirrup will be better suited to […]
Red Lake Walleye Fishing 12-20-2015
Upper Red Lake walleye fishing can be fantastic for early ice because it freezes so early. It’s divided into an upper and lower portion, and only about half of the upper portion is accessible to most anglers. The other two thirds is part of a Reservation. It gets a large amount of fishing pressure, and […]
How to Collect Sinew from a Deer
Here is a tutorial on how to collect sinew based on a couple requests I received after shooting my first two deer this season. I’ll admit I was a bit new to it myself at first, having only taken up traditional archery recently; however, by my third deer this year I was ready to make […]
DIY Arrow Spinner
The video below shows how to build a cheap and easy arrow spinner based on using cabinet double roller catches, less than $1.00 a piece, and some spare lumber. This version has a backstop on one end.

The specs on the Primos Proof 03 trail camera are nothing to laugh about, but the real benefit in my opinion is the simplicity of use. This would be a great camera for someone who’s not technologically savvy and wants something that’s hard to screw up in the field. The advertised specs are listed below: […]
