Tonight on Live Free or Die the race is on to preserve precious food before it spoils.
Tony and Amelia construct a solar dehydrator to speed up the drying of their deer meat and Thorn is busy trying to preserve his hog meat.
Meantime, Colbert is using his trapping skills to sort out a coyote problem for the friend. He gets to keep the pelts, which he can sell in order to raise funds for the tax due on his land.
Also check out this clip explaining how to use an atlatl or spear-thrower, one the earliest human hunting weapons – predating the bow and arrow.
Watch Live Free or Die tonight at 10 PM on National Geographic.
