Back in 2015, I reviewed the original Kershaw Shuffle. I don't normally review newer models because usually the differences are so slight (Paramilitary 2 vs Paramilitary 3 for example), but in the case of the Shuffle II, it might as well be a different knife. It would be easy to over simplify the Shuffle II by saying that it's just a bigger Shuffle, but practically speaking, it's one hell of an ...
What’s In Your Bug Out Bag?
We've thought about doing a bug out bag guide so many times before it'd be impossible to count, but somehow in 4 years, still haven't actually published one. The why comes down to the fact that, unlike comprehensive lists - like of all the survival gear you might or might not want to have, or of all the first aid supplies you might entertain stashing in your at-home stockpile, bug out bags are ...
How to Treat a Burn: From Soothing to Healing
Being burned is a modern world reality. Not all of us have had a dislocated shoulder or severe lacerations, but I can almost guarantee that everyone reading this has been burned at least once. I find it interesting that there's typically so much advice/discussion within the scope of first aid revolving around cuts and fractures, but burns that can be even more painful and debilitating are ...

So we weren't planning on publishing today, but we stumbled on a sale section of Blade HQ website we thought was too good to pass up sharing.

Discontinued Spyderco Sale @ Blade ...
15 Best Selling Bushcraft Books: Most Popular Wilderness Survival Guides
A long while back, close to when we originally started penning this blog, I published an article about the most popular/best selling survival books in existence. While I know there will be plenty of overlap (what kind of a survival book list wouldn't make mention of popular bushcraft books?), I now think it's important to break up that post into sub-topics, in case anyone wants to concentrate on ...
Helle Mandra Les Stroud Small Bushcraft Knife Review
Reviewing the Helle Mandra offers insight into my (honest) bias. In a lot of ways, I have to compare my feelings for this little "neck knife" to the conclusion I reached in my review of the Buck 110. It's a non-optimal knife that I can't help but love. It's surprising to me after reviewing the Helle Temagami to handle this little tyke. The Temagami is such a serious bushcraft tool with a clear ...
