I hope you have as much fun exploring this website as I have had been creating it. When you are done reading, don’t forget to take the “Wilderness Survival Quiz”. As an avid Mountaineer, hiker, Mountain biker, kayaker and Nature lover, and being raised by Wonderful parents in this environment, I still find your tips and skills amazing. When a person stops learning, or is to stubborn/egotistic (hubris) to absorb more knowledge, those are the ones who....not only get themselves in sometimes costly situations, but others as well. Thank you. Please keep up this vital source of information for all to learn and enjoy. Many Happy Trails, Chris Black Erik, awesome info and website, I spent 8 year’s in the U.S Army, trained in detail on desert and jungle survival. Keep up the awesome work and good luck. Mark I love your site I keep telling everyone I know about your site and they love it as well. You are a free site and I think that that is just one of many awesome parts about your site. Paul Hello Erik and thank you for the informative web site. Even basic wilderness survival skills are new to me and your site is helping me a lot. Dean Thanks Erik for your webpage. I teach a "survival for the lost" course every other year in Oregon, to elementary children from our local school. I use your hints finding water, building shelters, etc.) for much of my class. My goal is to make even the youngest member to feel empowered in situations that are unexpected. Vacation stops and other roadside situations where kids may get separated and "lost" in wilderness settings. With awareness and rational approach to offset panic, most of "my kids" may be survivors and have stories to tell rather than having stories to tell about them--by recovery teams. Again thanks Bill ("Ranger Red" for my students)
