The EDC (Every Day Carry) You Wear, by Kerry Cartier

“When I lived in Alaska, I carried canteens, MREs, and a f***y pack with survival gear that I brought along whenever I
left the truck. After moving to “The Lower 48,” the f***y pack became my Every Day Carry (EDC), comprised of whatever I had in my pockets or on my person. Here’s what I typically
bring: My keyring has 5 keys, a metal whistle, a cut-down ferro rod, a P-38 can opener, a ball compass, and a dog tag.”

Growing Your Own Vitamins, by Christopher Nyerges

Vitamins. Everyone needs them. We should take some every day. And they come in bottles, right? Well, yes and no. The original sources of many common vitamins and minerals are plants, and several of these are quite easy to cultivate in our own backyards.

Check out this article by the Backwoodsman Magazine’s own: Charlie Richie Jr.
Survival Mastery is Ready to Reconnect People with their Roots.

“Growing up watching my father build the Backwoodsman Magazine, it took me a while to really figure out why he felt it was so important to start a publication like BWM. It wasn’t until my teenage years that I realized it was to preserve the “Old Ways of Living” and the skills that came with that lifestyle. That’s why he made it a point to feature a lot of the “Last of the Mountain Men” that were left in the late 70s & 80s, old pioneers that were still
alive and encouraged them to share their knowledge before they left this earth.”

Check out this article by Jake Mowry: The Importance of Good Clothing.

“As outdoorsmen, we ask a lot of our clothes and our gear. What you wear out in the woods is as important, if not more so, as the gear you're carrying in your pack or the rifle in your hand. Shelter is one of the first priorities of survival and that starts with the clothes on your back. Protection from the elements and regulating your body to stay warm, dry and comfortable is essential to maximizing your time outdoors.”

Backwoodsman Magazine has some exciting news to share with our community! Even though the current edition was completed by Charlie and his team in Mid-December, it turns out we’re printing with a different company starting with the Winter issue 2024! Without much notice, our previous printing company has merged with another company, creating the need for BWM to migrate immediately to a new printer. This big change has left our readers stranded during the holidays and we hope you will accept our sincere apologies. We will keep everyone posted as the print and delivery dates become solidified, and in the meantime we greatly appreciate your patience and support! Thank you so much for being part of the BWM community!

Please enjoy reading Charlie Jr's Notes from the Winter 2024 Edition Below.

A Survival Kit That Makes Sense!
By Tim Swanson
"Hiking and backpacking are enjoyable and peaceful experiences that get us outdoors. However, every year, thousands of people get lost, injured, or die during wilderness trips. Experience and good judgment keep these things from happening, and a good survival kit can also create a more comfortable experience. I hike in the White Mountains of New Hampshire quite frequently with groups or by myself. Hiking 15-20 miles in one day is not uncommon in the mountains, and my overall goal is to reach the summit, and get back to the car. "

by Paul “Many Rifles” Laster

"Years ago, I read an excellent article in Backwoodsman magazine about a flintlock musket being the ideal weapon for a long-term survival scenario. This was an interesting idea – and really got me thinking - why on earth would such an archaic weapon be the right fit for survival in a modern age? "

Check out "Two Cold Steel Budget Knives" by Jim House in the Sept/Oct 2023 issue!

My most elegant knife now has a list price of over $450. It’s not only elegant, but also capable of anything one would expect of a knife. It should be. However, it is not a knife that I use for simple chores and it is stored in a safe with fi****ms. I like fine cutlery and I suppose that everyone who camps, explores, hunts, or engages in other outdoor activities realizes just how useful and important a knife is. However, for most uses, a high-quality, expensive knife is not necessary.

“What do you want yourknife to do? Well, if youare like me, the answer isto peel potatoes, cut cornoff the cob, slice tomatoes, open boxes, and cut someslivers from a stick to usefor starting a fire.”
