survival series cont...

the sailors and soldiers constant companions are fear, cold, hunger , thirst and boredom. in the field, fear keeps a man or woman alive . being wet, and cold, hungry and scared shiftless can bog you down, especially if you havent eaten or slept in a few days... i know. i ve been there a number of times.. dry is essential to being healthy. water is the second concern.. rain water will suffice as long as you filter it and boil it  to purify it
warm means layers. you can always take something off, but you cant always put something on if you dont have it.. warm also co notates having a fire or hot coals to heat the air..around you. learn the principles of fire making.. a must know how to do if you dont want to freeze to death.. heat up rocks to boil water.. hot water makes tea and coffee. hot rocks keep a bed warm also... come the crunch (and believe me its going to come sooner than you are expecting) you'll have supplies stored up. pure water to drink and a warm place to sleep..you may be broke, monetarily , but beans and bullets wont come cheap after the end falls out...

  no im not an expert on anything, im an excellent cook, a great shot and have a knack for good story telling, and a writer of sorts. if anything, im one of those survivalist nuts.. always have been and always will be..end of story. read stories of survival, from those who lie it every day.. i live it, even though im going blind ive got four other senses to keep me alive..   so keep you r powder dry, and your canteens full.. and keep a flask of
vsop handy , brandy .
