Although this blog's focus will lean greatly towards the foragable (and not so foragable), we will also provide the occasional gun review. Today, we have the 1851 Confederate Colt. Enjoy!

Missouri is a great place to live. There are areas like the Ozarks and the Mark Twain National Forest, along with other vast expanses of wilderness teeming with flora and fauna that continue to fascinate professional and amateur explorers alike. However, there are many things in within these forests that are still unknown to even the most seasoned survivalist. Often enough, walking along the forest paths, one passes by a variety of plants without knowing a thing about what he is treading underfoot. Some things in the woods can be quite helpful. Knowing which trees make the best firewood or what plant can be utilized as a food source can make a big difference in a survival situation. Contrarily, knowing which plants should be absolutely avoided or which insects carry the worst bites can also increase the chances of survival and comfort when trekking through Missouri's vast and varied wilderness. The purpose of this blog is to educate the reader with the knowledge of of what can help or hinder you when out in Missouri's wilderness. Knowing the difference can make all the difference between a leisurely hike and a desperate survival situation.
