life or death.....
Let's say this.
Could you survive in a life or death situation?? Like lost in the middle of the yukon (big wilderness is what I'm implying). Could you not only survive but thrive in the time it took to be rescued? Or would you be more of the curled up in a ball crying because of the situation type? At any rate. Do you think you think you could survive for 14 days? Lost? The next point is if you think you could what skills would you pass on to those who wouldn't know what to do? Let's put you at a disadvantage. You have a knife flashlight hunting clothes on and 10 matches but no striker. Any other suggestions on what you have? Ryan. |
RE: life or death.....
I know I could survive but I would not thrive in 14 days, if you have ever watched survivor man you can see that is what he usually has with him and he struggles and is only there a week.

Would you be "bowhunting" when you got lost?;)

RE: life or death.....
Preparation is the key to survival. I would not go into backcountry anywhere without first giving it considrable thought. Nor would I jump into it without the proper gear.I would definitely survive and more than likely thrive. Fishing line and hooks would be in my survival kitand well as snare wire. If I had neither of these, I'm sure there's plenty of vegitation to weave traps of various sorts. Chances are, if I didn't have a knife, I could knapp one from stone. Building shelter would not be an issue (mud, grass, and wood or mud, grass and stone). I could even start a fire without the matches. For me, the key would be to stay warm, dry and hydrated for 14 days. I could and would snack whenever possible.

I've spent more than one night laying on the ground in a sleeping bag huddled up to a campfire in below zero temps. I guess they let me because I Loved the outdoors, or at least I hope that's why![8D] Dan |

Could I make It? If I knew how to start a fire without having a lighter or matches I know I could do It. I'll say this though that If your not In shape none of your survival skills are going to do you much good.;)
