Please jump over to “Project 48” on our website to lean more about this great American. PROJECT 48 is our initiative to celebrate the best of America. The 48-Star Flag hearkens to a day when idyllic time when we when we were united and forward facing. It does not discount there were things that were NOT perfect and needed change. Think about how much we have accomplished since 1949 when we added two stars (Alaska and Hawaii we love you and glad you are on board now). We’ve been to the moon. We ended segregation and fully integrated our military. Women became full and equal members of the work world. There is no better example of this than the story of Jesse Brown, the first black naval aviator in the United States. He did what it took to be successful. He aggressively changed the way he talked, the way he carried himself and pushed himself to learn in order to be successful. He aggressively sought things that he wanted to achieve. He sought the American Dream for himself and his family. Though realistic in acknowledging its flaws, he sought the American Dream for himself and his family and in doing so, made it more achievable for all. - He was a devoted Christian. - He was a devoted Husband. - He was a devoted American. Go check out Project 48 at Dragoon Unlimited to see a little more information on this amazing man, story of friendship and the America he fought to be part of, build and make better. https://dragoonunlimited.com/blogs/project-48/project-48-jesse-brown-devotion America’s best days are ahead of her if we work together, strive to hold on to what made us great…God, family, friendship and love of country. We are going to do everything in our power to keep building her up and telling her story. We hope you’ll roll up your sleeves and join us! #dragoonunlimited #project48 #america #devotionmovie #devotion #greaterlovehathnoman #greatlove #wingsofgold #navalaviation #corsair #koreanwar #koreanwarveteran #koreanwarmemorial #usa #bethechange #bethechangeyouwanttosee #bethechangeyouwanttoseeintheworld #changeyourmindset #veteran #standup #standstrong #brothersinarms #warhistory #neverforget #neverforgotten #highflight #beproud #homeofthebrave

This weekend we remember those who fought and fell in defense of other's freedom and to safeguard the way of life we, too often, take for granted. We are grateful that men and woman such as they lived and we strive to honor their sacrifice by living our lives well and with honor. Lest we forget...

We don’t think trail food has to be boring. This one never fails to delight whether with a group or a solo outing, it’s hard to beat that sentimental sensation and smells of panned popped popcorn. Dragoon Corn Prep Time: 5 minutes. Cook Time: 12 minutes, but no need to rush. Clean Up: 2 minutes. Ingredients: - 4 teaspoons of natural popping corn. - 2 tablespoons of olive oil. (You can adjust as required for your pot) - OPTIONAL: Flavorings. Use your imagination, salt, leftover Raman flavoring, we love sriracha salt) - 12” x 12” pieces of aluminum foil. Total Cost: About $0.50 Home Prep: Measure and pour four teaspoons of popcorn into a ziplock bag. Measure and pour a 2 tablespoons of olive olive oil into a ziplock bag (you’ll only need about half of that, but you won’t get all of it out of the bag). Preparation: ✅ The trick to this is creating a barrier between your lightweight cooking pot and the heat to prevent the popcorn from burning. You’ll do this by making a popping bag inside your pot and leaving an air space between your popcorn and the bottom on the pan. You can use one sheet of aluminum foil, but we recommend two to prevent oil dripping into your pot in case of any small holes in the foil. ✅ Use your fist, cup, or other smaller container to create a cooking “pot” slightly smaller than your cooking pot. BE VERY CAREFUL not to tear the foil or put holes in it or you will get oil (and the smoke associated with it) into the bottom of your cooking pot. Carefully slide the foil into your pot and fold the excess around the outside. ✅ Light your stove and set it to high heat. ✅ Pour a tablespoon on olive oil into your foil, place one kernel of corn into the corn, cover and place on your stove. Wait until you hear the kernel pop. This will tell you the oil is hot enough for popping. Be patient, this will take between 3-5 minutes. Listen carefully! ✅ When you hear the first kernel pop, pour the remaining corn into the pot, cover and wait. Within about two minutes you should start hearing the corn pop at a more rapid rate. About fifteen seconds after the corn starts popping rapidly lift and shake your pot to ensure all the corn gets popped. Wait until the popping slows to about one every three seconds, then remove from the stove. ✅ Turn off stove and let your popcorn cool for about thirty seconds before removing the lid. ✅ Enjoy straight from the foil container you made (careful it’ll be hot) or pour into your camp cup if desired for easy clean up. ✅ Use flavoring as desired. Clean Up: Wad the aluminum foil and any remaining popcorn up, slide into your ziplock bag. Wipe your cooking pot clean and you’re done! Bon Appetite!!! #dragoonunlimited #backpackcooking #bushcraft #campfirecooking #trailfood #eatlikeaking #budgetbackpacker #hiking #hikingadventures #camping #campingadventures #kayaking #kayakingadventures #backpacking #backpackingadventures #adventure #campinghacks

STOVES, FERRO RODS & RAINY DAYS Most people fall into two camps, bush craft and ferro rods or high tech and camp stove. We don’t think the two are mutually exclusive. You should always carry a ferro rod, like the DU Fire Steel, with you in the bush, whether you plan on building a campfire or using a stove. Matches and lighters will let you down in wet and windy weather. Ferro rods were made for exactly these rough conditions. Make sure you wipe your fire steel dry, get a couple of good sparks off of it, turn on the gas and hit it with a few spark showers. In no time, as Australians say, you’ll be “cooking with gas!”. There is nothing hits the spot like a hot cup of coffee or warm cup of soup after getting soaked on an adventure!

HOW TO BUILD A GRAVITY FED FIELD EXPEDIENT WATER FILTRATION PROCESSING STATION. Whether being prepared for summer storm season or a wilderness outpost, setting up a semi-permanent DIY water processing station can take a lot of the effort out of keeping fresh safe water available for you and your crew. Materials Required: - 1 Two-Liter Soft Drink Bottle - Large Capacity Container (clean water. we used a 89 ounce Orange Juice container) - Any size container or cup (dirty water. We used a 1.4 liter Nalgene bottle) - 12 Feet of Small Diameter Cord - Black Marker - Duct Tape - Scissors - Hole Punch or Sharp Knife/Point Knots Required: - Overhand Knot - Stopper Knot (Double Overhand Knot) - Offset Overhand Bend - Two Half-Hitches Knot - Tautline Hitch Time Required: About 15 Minutes Step 1: Mark a cut line as close to the bottom of the bottle as possible. Step 2: Mark three punch points at approximately 120 degree intervals on the 1 liter bottle 1 inch below the cut line on the bottom of the bottle. Step 3: Punch a hole with the nail/punch at the marked points. Use one arm of the scissor to increase the size of the hole and round it to a size slightly larger than your cord. BE BERY CAREFUL not to cut too big of a hole or yourself! Step 4: Cut the bottom off the bottle as close to the bottom as possible. Step 5: Put a wrap of duct tape around the edge of the bottle. This will provide additional rigidity for the bottle, cover the edge of the bottle to prevent scrapes of cuts and reinforce the anchor points. Ensure you’ve made holes in the tape where your punched holes are located. Step 6: Cut three lengths of cord about 18 inches long. Secure all three loose ends together with an Triple Overhand Bend (really just an overhand knot with three cords). Secure one end of each piece with a Double Overhand Knot. Feed the loose end of each cord from the OUTSIDE of the bottle through each hole. . Step 7: Attach the end of the remaining cord to the bottle and cord by tying two Half Hitches around the overhand knot made with the three 18” pieces of cord. Step 8: Suspend the soft drink bottle, neck down, from a hook, shelf, tree limb or pot rack like we did. Step 9: Attach your Dragoon Unlimited Lancer Mini Survival & Backpacking Water Filter to the end of the soft drink bottle. Use the taunt line hitch to adjust the height of your processing station to the container you’re using. Step 10: Position the processing bottle and filter inline with the Clean Water Container. We used a reused an OJ Bottle, due to its size and the mouth is the perfect size to receive the DU Mini Water Filter. Step 11: Add water to your processing station and let gravity do it work. NOTES: A. You’ll be able to filter approximately 1 liter of water every 7.5 minutes or 8 liters an hour with this method. B. While you can filter directly from an uncut bottle, due to suction created by the water leaving the bottle, you’ll have squeeze the bottle which, while a faster way to process water, it take effort and energy you could spend doing other things. C. Marking you CLEAN and DIRTY water containers helps avoid cross contamination. ALWAYS use t he same containers for each purpose D. Be careful not to overfill your processing bottle attached to the filter, or you’ll have to do a “quick change” bottle swap in progress or you can just remove the filter quickly and place the attached rubber cap on it. E. By using standard/universal connections the DU Lancer Filter allows you to use items you have at the house or can readily procure. This allows you to utilize “dual use” items such as OJ containers and soft drink containers rather than spending $20-50 on proprietary connections and containers. #dragoonunlimited

DRAGOON PIE ZIPLOCK MEAL How about a Cup of Dragoon Pie? It’s our “no refrigeration, no home prep” version of Shepard’s Pie and it always hits the spot, especially on a cool day or rainy evening! This is one of those that tastes better than it looks, but trust us when we say it is a stomach pleasing meal on a cold day (it’s pretty darn good on any day you need some comfort food!). Dragoon Pie Prep Time: 5 minutes. Cook Time: 10 minutes, but no need to rush. Clean Up: 5 minutes. Ingredients: - 3/4 Cup of Instant Mash Potatoes (2 servings 220 calories total) - 7.5 Ounce Can of Corn Beef Hash (1 serving 240 calories total) - 1 or 2 packets of ketchup (about 13 calories each) Total Cost: About $2.50. Home Prep: Pour 3/4 cup of potatoes flakes into a freezer/heavy duty ziplock bag, place your corn beef hash can and ketchup packets into the bag. We like to remove the label to cut down on waste, but that’s your call). Preparation: - Bring one cup of water to a near boil. While waiting, remove you corn beef hash and ketchup from the bag. Open the corn beef hash and set aside. - When the water is near boiling, remove from heat and pour your water into the potato flakes. The water will be hot so wear gloves and pour carefully. Stir and let sit while you cook up your hash. - Put your corn beef hash into your cooking cup and fry over high heat. Be careful not to burn them, so if you’re using a cup, you’ll need to stir occasionally. UsuAlly about 5-6 minutes. - When your corn beef hash is to your liking, pull it to the side of your cup and scoop in your potatoes. Add one package of ketchup (you can add a second depending on your taste preference). Stir and reheat the combined ingredients until they are a nice heart warming hot! - Enjoy straight from your cup or cook pot if desired for easy clean up. Clean Up: Boil one cup of water in cup. While heating, place all remaining waste into the ziplock bag, seal and discard in a waste basket. After water boils, swirl water carefully, wipe dry, store and you’re done! Bon Appetite!!! #dragoonunlimited #backpackcooking #bushcraft #camping #hiking #traillife #boyscouts #scouting #trailfood #campfood
