Remember?

Awhile back we heard from another "Bare Wilderness" type who was one of a 2 man team that was going to head out into the wilderness of upstate New York with very little gear to test their mettle over a 3 week period. He's never came back on and finals are over so I don't know what's happened to him but here was the last little test I gave him:

1.) List the "Rule of Three".
2.) Name the 5 heat-loss mechanisms, describe what they are and what you
can do to avoid them.
3.) List the four essentials to Survival.
4.) List the 7 deadly enemies.

Anybody want to try their hand? The first one already has it's own thread, so let's disqualify that one and go for the next 3!:cool:

1. 3 Minutes Without Air
3 Hours Without Shelter
3 Days Without Water
3 Weeks Without Food

2. Conduction, When heat is transfered from a hot object to a cold one, Wear clothing around all skin that you will be handeling cold objects with
Convection, When air takes heat from you, Wrap up well and layer your clothing, Wear a hat,cloves and cover exposed skin
Radiation,When heat leaves your body and travels up, Agen wear proper clothing and if possibel put something insulating over you like a poncho or other shelter roof (<--- Not to sure about that one)
Evapouration, Heat lost by being taken by cold moisture, like when your wet, Properly layer your clothing so that you can take some off in the warm times and put the heaveyer stuff on when its cold, Bring spare clothing in case your current set gets wet
Respiration, When you lose heat throught your breath, You take cold air in and it take heat from your core temp to warm it then your breath it out and it starts agen, You really cant stop it but if you breath through your nose you take in less air and it is warmed by your nose itself seduceing the amount of heat taken from your core temp

#4 is "right on"! #3 still needs work! Here's the answer:
1.) Shelter.
2.) Fire.
3.) Water.
4.) Food.

You & your situation will govern the priorties of each, but this is the way I priortize the list under most circumstances. If it's getting close to sunset you might make the fire your #1 priority.:cool:

You look good! I see that Rick's been using your dog-food as "Survival Rations" again.:rolleyes:

I don't need no stinking shelter, no fire, no water and I eat wolves for food!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't that the ugliest pooch you ever saw? A guy would have to apologize before he got out of bed in the morning if he were that ugly.

Just took my family to see "I am Legend" today; that dog reminds me of several from the film. :eek: BTW, great "Survival" flick.:cool:
