Ok, so i posted a question and many of you asked for a short intro so here it is. I am in my late 20's and have spent the majority of my life in the woods. from the time i was a young boy i have hunted and fished almost religiously. I Directly out of high school i went to work for a forestry consultant where i worked in the woods cruising timber, setting up logging operations and prescribed burning. After a time spent working for this gentleman i went to work as a forest firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service where if you dont know we just work and sleep on the ground all summer, that is all you know, the amenities of civilization are not a luxury of this lifestyle. After fighting fires for a while and college i am back to working in the woods as a forester and environmental specialist. I am more at home in the woods than i am in town. I have a basic framework of survival skills i have accumulated over time but want to take it to the next level.

1st let me welcome you to the Wolf-Pack. Next, and this may offend you, but you roll the dice & take your chances; I do not believe that going out into a survival situation of your own making is taking it to the next level, unless that level is gross stupidity! :eek: Survival is a matter of life & Death, not the latest Extreme Sport, I don't care how much experience you claim. What you're saying is that you're creating a "life & death scenario" of your own making. We have people here with far more experience than you claim and they would never do anything as foolish as you described in your other thread. If you read the "Sticky" I referred you too elsewhere then you'll see the next candidates for the Darwin award and what they set out to accomplish, only to fail miserably. Sorry, but I do not encourage foolish behavior or immature actions.:cool:

I think a little bit of " practice what you preach " can be a big help in learning your limits and seeing what areas of your survival "training" need improvement. Just make sure you don't go alone and family or friends you trust know where you'll be and for how long. I have a group of friends who "practise" this way a lt. They have all the gear and supplies they need, but "pretend " to be without. They only use supplies and such if needed. A safe , secure way of learning what works and what doesn't. If , that is , you don't take it to a real extreme. IMHO
