You know what LA---Im not all that savvy when it comes to be a survival man. My kids know how to fish, and both seem really interested in shooting my bow. But that is for them to decide. My wife teaches them about plants and vegetables, as we have a small garden. But for one thing, my kids are going to be mentally tough, I can tell you that. They are not going to be quitters, and I guess that would play in to being able to survive in the woods when times got hard and lean.
