"He who enjoys doing
and enjoys what he
has done is happy."

This quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe provides a good explanation for why this site exists. However, please let me first introduce myself. My name is Erik Falk. Next to my family, my biggest passion in life is my wilderness adventures.

My countless wilderness trips have not only taught me how to survive, but also how to love and enjoy the great nature we have. For me, the wilderness is freedom, harmony, it's. . . life itself.

Most people in our modern society don't have the slightest idea about how to build a fire, find water, build a shelter or navigate in the wilderness. They lack the knowledge and self-confidence to travel on their own in the wilderness.

My hope is that the Wilderness Survival Skills website will inspire people to learn the skill of safe wilderness travel. Nothing is more exciting than spending quality time in the great wilderness.

There is a lot of work that goes into building a website. However, motivation and enthusiasm create a lot of energy. Even so, the energy is not unlimited. If you are interested to read more about how I build my website, read here.
