What do you know about the great outdoors and the animals that live in it.

All the things you could know, or should know, would make a book.
(And there are serveral out there already)

But my definitions would be:
Woodwise - You could spend 3+ days in the woods with nothing but what you carry in your pockets/pack and come out none the worse for wear.

Woodsman/woman - You could spend weeks, months with the same and be none the worse for wear.

I am in process of becoming a woodsgirl. The longest I have been in the woods is for 2 weeks elk hunting. I loved it and did well, no complaints. I would say for me the most important thing I had with me was my husband. He was and is a great teacher.

A few years back there was a commercial (beer, i think) that had a guy driving his truck thru some high mountian forrest. When he came to a washed out bridge, he took a bunch of tools out of the back and built a new bridge right then and thereso he could continue on.
My friends all used to say, "If that was Jim, he'd have built a covered bridge instead, along with astone fireplace, roasted a deer he shot while building it, before driving on". Those kind of statements always gave me a little boost in my pride.

So I guess I would do allright myself.
