Survival is not all about being desperate. There are so many people that find tranquility in the forest. We like to engage in what we call “Bushcraft Water Fun”. We love it because we are not swimming with a bunch of chemicals. The water we have here comes straight out of the mountain.  We swim in Mountain Fresh Spring Water.

Spotting Things In The Water

The water is usually so clear here that you can see fish swimming clear at the bottom of the stream. Sometimes we bring fine nets to catch the smaller fish to use for bait when we go fishing.  There are crawfish here as well. Many people don’t realize this but you can cook crawfish like lobster. When they turn red in the pot they are ready to eat. Boy are they delicious. There are a lot of trout in our creeks here.  Catching them are a lot of fun!

Bushcraft Water Fun

Anyway you slice the cheese living free in the wild is more fun than you can possibly imagine. We watch survival shows and laugh at some. Not to be disrespectful to the people that make these shows but the difference between us and them is, “We live it”. Their desperation is our everyday life. We hope you can see our humor in that. The difference is we actually know what we are doing.

The waterfun in the summertime is just amazing. Once in a while we will get visitors and take them to our swim holes.  We see the fear on their faces when we ask them to come in. They are expecting the river swamp monster to jump out and grab them or something.  Most of them though end up taking a plunge and you see the freedom come over their face like they accomplished something amazing.

The Soft Mountain Fresh Water

The soft mountain fresh water here is amazing. Once people make the plunge and get in the water they realize the softness of the water. You can even open your eyes under the water because they don’t burn from chemicals. We actually shower and drink the cold fresh mountain spring water everyday.

Bushcraft and Fun Camp

If you ever want to test your bushcraft skills or just come to the forest and “rough it” let us know. We have another cabin that you can rent out for a weekend or a week. The best thing is that you have us to be your guide. We will show you what you can and cannot eat in the forest. We can show you how to start fires. What the best wood is to burn.  Where the best fishing and hunting spots are. The best berry picking if you come in June, July or August. We will show you the best swimming holes filled with natural mountain fresh spring water. How to purify your water and much more.
