Do you have a craving for the great outdoors? It’s about time you get some fresh air after all the noise, bustle and hustle of the city life. Even if it’s your first time, the rules are very simple and only require common sense. If tracking big game is your passion, you surely could use a few tips and tricks to stay safe and have a great time. Here’s your guide to the wilderness.
Basic Guidelines

Initially, you can explore the wilderness and try to observe the different types of terrain. Different kinds of animal species dwell, hunt or pass by a variety of landscapes. Notice the differences in terms of markings and smell between rocks, sand, mud, clay and grassy areas. Try to find a set of tracks and once you do, stop, look, listen and smell for other hints.

 

Knife throwing is a fascinating pastime.  Your arm swings back, steel flashes through the air and Bam!  The blade sticks the target.  Properly thrown, the knife hits hard and bites deep.  Making the point stick nearly every time from various distances takes a lot of practice.  But practicing on the trail, in camp, or at home can be fun.  There's a practical side to this knowledge also.  Porcupines and other small game have been impaled by a thrown hunting knife of hungry and lost campers.

When practiced in your own backyard, knife throwing can be easily learned by anyone. Any light handled knife like a kitchen knife can be used and a cardboard box makes a great target.

Stand about three feet from the target with your right foot forward. Hold the knife by the blade with the point between your thumb and forefinger, fist naturally closed and flip it overhand from near the ear straight at the target. If the knife does not land point first, move a step back and throw again. You are wanting the distance at which the knife will make a half turn in the air and strike point on. When you have found that distance, practice a uniform delivery until you can make your knife stick every time.

For a distance of about ten feet hold the knife flat in your palm with the blade pointed toward your elbow and your finger against the handle. Throw it overhand and let it slide out handle first with your extended hand pointed directly at the target. Practice these two throws until you have developed a smooth and rhythmic technique for each. It is useless to attempt long throws until the proper form has been mastered and you can make the knife land point first at distances up to fifteen feet. Form is the secret of success with knife throwing and various throws can be used for different distances. But the technique of any throw must never vary.
