Medicinal Plants

1 week ago | offgridweb.com | Nick Italiano

Walking through the woods is often a peaceful journey to reconnect with nature. But occasionally, that peace is disrupted by a fall and an injury. Knowing how to take care of the injury is essential. Often, medicinal plants aren’t thought of due to the unfamiliarity with what’s available. Knowing the area is important and should be part of the planning for the hike. Knowing what medicinal plants are available in that area is just as important.
Practical Precision

When you hear the term “long-range shooting,” a few things might come to mind.

What probably doesn’t come to mind is a vineyard in Southern California, a hunting rifle, and a group of down-to-earth people stretching their shots from 250 out to 1,250 yards.

Haversack Review

3 weeks ago | offgridweb.com | Nick Italiano

During the American Civil War, soldiers carried their supplies in haversacks. In addition to the supplies transported by boat, each soldier was responsible for carrying 40 rounds of ammunition in cartridge boxes and four days’ worth of rations in their haversacks. A haversack consists of a rugged canvas sheet that folds around its contents, including a bedroll, clothing, daily rations, and personal items, all secured by flaps and adjustable buckle straps.
Foraging for Wild Edibles

3 weeks ago | offgridweb.com | Nick Italiano

Every day we step outside, we’re surrounded by an abundance of plants. Trees, bushes, vines, flowers, herbaceous plants, and more fill our woodlands, grow in fields, and pop up through cracks in the pavement. While we may take note of these plants, most do not give them a second thought. Even though many people see plants as part of the background, the reality is much more complex. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen through their normal life processes.
