Skillstacking{Free Top 5 Crane's Beak Bushcraft Including Canoe Rescue]

There is a beautiful skillstacking between martial arts and bushcraft/survival. It’s not so much the perfection of a skill, using the 10,000hr myth, but the stacking of a whole bunch of skills that make you successful. An example of this would be during college I line-cooked. Well the timing I learned directly translated to not only pumping times but to blocking punches and any timeline. The greatest timeline ever derives from Dispensation. The main problem with Youtube preachers is that the average person can't hold their attention on something longer than 90 seconds. That and access to a chalkboard on the fly.

So we have covered in previous posts dealing with Beginning with the end, death of a loved one. In skillstacking, the the most important, to the present, is time management. The absolute fastest way to your goal is through the tutelage of a mentor. My survival mentors include Creek Stewart, Mors Kochanski, Dave Cantebury, Les Stroud, Cody Lundin, Dick Proemke, Nessmuk, Horace Kephart, Rambo.

Just putting in deliberate practice under the tutelage of a mentor, genetics, and age of person learning the skill, all matter more than 10,00hrs of mindless repetitions. Failure is your biggest teacher. The book Ready, Fire, Aim embodies this concept. I find the biggest hurdle is just getting started and producing momentum to help you keep on task. One of my favorite quotes is “Motivation comes after after the action.” Not after you think about it or watch a video, or do a case study. That feeling of accomplishment trumps any criticism or review of performance.

Teddy Roosevelts-The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts; “It is not who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there’s no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat.”

Skillstacking confidence needs to be emphasized. We need to be in our own corner cheering ourselves on. Not worrying about what other people think. I like to live to impress myself. The best place to be is working yourself so much the the universe good lord will have no choice but to give you your dream. The second best place is on the edge between things. A real life example of this would be hunting on the edges between cover. Forest and field. But this skillstacking is not hunting we are talking about. It’s Karate, Jujitsu, Bushcraft, Dispensation, website building, blog posting, keyword searching, etc. One extremely important subject to add to your skillstacking is risk management.

Coping With Grief and Depression [Free Top 5 Cranes Beak Bushcraft including Canoe Rescue]

There are 5 stages of grief.: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. In this post I want to focus on coping with grief with the last one, Acceptance. I have experienced all the anger and sadness associated with this. It was only after careful reflection that I realized that something was guiding me. I would go through a grief fit and immediately get very tired and start yawning. I didn’t get it. It wasn’t until I learned of Neville Goddard’s teaching where he denotes our imagination as Jesus Christ. The video is called Self talk creates reality. 

The next part is to realize that if Jesus was our imagination then our subconsciousness Has to be the father.How does this apply to us? It means that we just have to invite our lost one to visit our dreams. I didn’t get confirmation of this until my aunt had passed on. I said out loud that I would leave a spot for her to visit. I was pretty broke up until I dreamed about her. It was like she was showing me that she was fine. She showed me her house. It was like a great weight was lifted off my shoulders. I call this phenomenon the glimpse. This is coping with grief. Look up

John 14:2,3- “In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; That where I am, there you will also be.”

Our Lord is literally using his Imagination to describe heaven. We should follow his example and definitely leave a spot for him.

Some people might take offense to the use of the Lord in coping with grief, by using your imagination. It's probably the fact that having a portable direct link to the Lord that’s not beholden to a church. That and I think it's simply the lense that he completely sees us. Both inside and out.

Next I want to talk about after the death of a loved one and the concept of christain charity. Treating others as the one that you have lost or as you should have treated them. That is , of course, if you’re not mad at that person. In that case refer to the golden rule. Finally, I want to talk about the roles of those that were lost. Survivors or friends may have to take up those roles. I remember when my brother passed, I knew that I had to stick around or my family would implode. After my aunt died suddenly I bought a house near a lake. Just as she had expressed as a dream of hers. It was as if she were working behind the scenes to make it happen. Just doing the things that they loved is the best way of coping with grief or taking up a new hobby to get your mind off of the loss.

So the last thing I wast to discuss is the things left unsaid, unforgiven, and undone. We must realize that once you have known someone , they become a part of us. You only have to say aloud what was not said, forgive yourself and do what you wanted to do if they were still alive. I’m a firm belivever in the idea that are love ones are seated in the theatre behind our eyes. We just have to put on a good show for them.

Beginning With The End [Free Top 5 Cranes Beak Bushcraft Includes Canoe Rescue]

Congratulations! You are about to learn Bushcraft/Survival using the concept of Beginning with the End and then applying it to a karate kata. 

By beginning with the end, it forces you to actually do the activity that you want to incorporate. In this case the activity is specifically martial arts. Coincidentally, beginning with the end will also help in the visualization portion of a sanctuary meditation, which is the main tool that I would like to focus on to lower cortisol levels.

There is basically nothing new under the sun that pertains to bushcraft/survival, however I can offer a new delivery system.  I’m here to tell you that it can be found not only in karate but can be applied universally to other arts. This will give you dual access to both and give you other options when the wrong decision could leave you in jail or dead. After all violence only solves problems in the movies or tv and vice versa trying to take on mother nature head-on unprepared will kill you.  Since there is a saturation of self defense focus, this course will only pertain to bushcraft/survival. I can think of nothing greater to start with than laying a good foundation. Back when I was a kid I would make mix tapes and name them after the first song. When I started this journey, right from the get go, I saw a Nessmuk firelay. Then I realized that it could mean more. Here are the top 5 Cranes Beak Bushcraft including Canoe Rescue. For free!

Beginning with the End.  In order to do this lets talk about cortisol control. Let me tell you about my crazy work schedule. I do shift work which means that every week is a new shift. But my third week is by far the worst.  I get to do all three shifts in one week.  So you can imagine that my cortisol levels are off the chart. I began searching for a way to combat high cortisol naturally and I came across something called a sanctuary meditation.  You start with the breath. 4 second inhale, 4 second hold, 4 second exhale. Rinse and repeat.  Once this becomes automatic you imagine a path that goes to a castle. Details emerge. You imagine activities and fun stuff at this location. I find that if you don’t have guided meditation it turns into work with that comes stress. I would rather just remember a location or an activity. Somewhere I have already been.  “If it’s not in your head it will be in your heel” -Joe Saladin

Please check out the Free Top 5 alternative functions of a Nessmuk firelay.

In conclusion, if you have access to a guided meditation then by all means.  If not, I recommend a cool memory instead. Remember that once you get practice with the free 10 alternatives to a Nessmuk firelay the kata will turn into a choose your own adventure book. Just rmember that the transition into and out of the meditation is to imagine bright white light.

Triangle breathing!

Navy Seals and first responders use this to deal with freeze, flight or fight response where hind brain takes over and performance is inhibited. This breathing helps you regain your frontal brain. The frontal lobes are important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions. Executive functions refer to a collection of cognitive skills including the capacity to plan, organise, initiate, self-monitor and control one's responses in order to achieve a goal. Coincidentally this breating pattern is the same as the sanctuary meditation.

My memory to substitute a guided meditation occured because of a wedding in Jamaica. Ocho Rios to be exact. We each had a beautiful little villa. Coincidentally, the one featured in the picture is the same color as the sanctuary castle in the meditation. The end of the journey ended up here. So beginning with the end is made up of a lovely cricket orchestra, daqueris , jerk chicken, and yoga. The highlight for me was the ocean.
