I already gave it my vote...survival and wilderness travel...basic skills for the hunter...no matter where you hunt.
Better safe than sorry...actually here in California, the DFG offers advance seminars for hunters (and everyone else), one of the seminars is about survival and wilderness travel...great idea!

I'm just saying... can't some of this be discussed on the normal boards without an entire forum of it's own? After a week all your gonna see is posts about a guy who left his sandwich at home and ate a beetle in his tree-stand, to survive.
My 2 cents since YOU asked for my opinion~!

GR8,
You've got a point, I agree, but disagree also. If you go look at some of the other places, there is nothing but crickets chirping, and they're here. We've got automotive, camping, fishing, wanted, misc and even politics!
And lets say we ended up with only 5 or 6 pages before people stopped posting; you'd still be able to go back and review what has been said and use it to your advantage.
Fact is, many outdoorsman die every year due to some unforeseen event that ends up stranding them. Some have gotten lost and had a great time, others panic and die. The difference; knowledge.
Besides, I don't read every section of this site, if you didn't want to see what was in there, you don't have to go.
Thanks for the response, yes I did ask.

Great Idea! A lot of us hunt in remote areas. As bowhunters, we often are hunting alone. An injury orother suprisecould force an unplanned night out. Having basic skills and carrying at least a minimal survival kit are essential.
