Recently i saw in the ng adventure series about how to survive just about any thing . i was not impressed.
i mentioned it to someone and they said they had read it as well and commented on how well written the article was
but said they missed the point of survival in real life situations except for the article on avalanches. I had to agree.
but seriously folks, survival depends more on using your head than having a backpack full of gadgets that probably
wont work worth beans under stressful conditions.
being out in the wilderness is hard to do. it takes brain power to learn to adapt to a place other than your favorite
chair watching football on a monday night.
learning how to build a fire using a flint and steel is not in our genetic makeup. knowing what to do when you come
face to face with a bear doesnt come from watching the tube. you have to use your noggin. learning to use a
compass is easier than using a new fangled gps system. sure they are nice (and expensive) but they dont work
when the battteries are dead and you forgot to bring spares...
i went out and learned from my mistakes. i nearly lost my life on a hunting trip because i almost forgot to do two
things. try an ice storm in the mountains in april. i made it because i figured it out, kept my cool and found
adequate shelter in time...
peace and love
