Ah, San Diego...that's German for a whales vagina.....sorry, thats a quote from Anchorman, couldn't help it.......welcome to the forum.

only gone out in winter once, complete failure. faulty roof on shelter (due to lack of experience from my brother and friend.) therefore soaking wet all night.

but i'll be going out again this...

wow, thanks Rick. you really didn't have to take that time to browse the book for me. thank you very much. that is really helpful. i gotta find me a copy of that book.
thanks again guys.

yep, i already know about wildwood survival, i had already checked the wild edibles there but it hadn't mentioned any of the plants that would be edible in winter. it is a great site though. and i'm...

coooool, thanks a lot people, and thanks for the links Rick !

so...are there any wild edibles to be found in the winter ?

i never gave much thought into it, because usually when winter hits i forget about wild edibles and turn to trying to get my snares and...

i vote for wareagles place......but i'm only saying that cause he's 2 hours drive north of me... :P

yep, i told them from the get go, and kept ranting the entire time. that all i wanted was a good roof over head and a fire. heck, i would have even settled for a lean-to even though it's not the best...

went out for what was supposed to be a two night weekend with my brother and friend. started to build a shelter right away once we found where we were gonna camp. my brother and friend had this grand...

i live in brampton ontario, i usually go up north around barrie/lake simcoe area to practice. and if i travel a little further north and i'd bump into wareagle :D

trax i have the same problem, i can't make fires at the places i like to go to. the locations i practice at end up being either privately owned land, protected land, nature reserves, conservation...

Last: Labour Day weekend, first weekend of September

Next: This coming weekend. I get to spend a few nights with my brother and my buddy Dan up north on his land for the first time.

i'd like to try one day, but i'm not really around any lakes when i go out in the bush... must find new location with lake...or a big deep pond.....maybe a large puddle.... bathtub?

well, i won't be going out this weekend, cause i have plans to go next weekend. but i will be trying to finally get an ember using either the bow drill or fire drill..haven't had any success doing...

i feel absolutely fantastic !!! :D hehe

oh man, karma is gonna kick me in the butt now....

more buckets....... :D

i think of myself as a 5 or 6. probably closer to a 5, need to learn more about wild edibles. only really confident with identifying 4 or 5 plants.

he doesn't light a signal fire during the day because whats the use of him going out there to film if he will be 'rescued' on the second day. that would be a 10 minute episode after editing is done....

saiga7, how much longer would you like to have seen les go in that desert? in my eyes, i do not think he 'quit'. his health and well being was in jeopardy FOR REAL, not to exaggerate for the show...

just like the way my friends and i train in parkour, we want to get back to what our bodies were made for, finding out our physical limits and capabilities. parkour is the art of movement, the most...

i've tried it, but i only got the same result as when i use the fire plow, lots of smoke but no ember, and really tired arms. need more practice. thats why my mag. flint stick is my number one right...

have yet to be successful using the bow drill, and hand drill....lots o'smoke but no ember..argh. hoping to get a fire piston soon and try that out. but i mainly use a mag. flint stick.

So....what's your favourite bush tea?
I know you can use pine needles, i'll probably try that one first.
I have not had it in mind to actually try any before, what are your recommendations? Thank...

i'm still here, i may not post a lot, but i check the forum everyday. nice to see mostly every one stuck it out.

maybe the fact that they are WILD :P but mostly the fact that they are not used to seeing humans and don't know what we are so they may get defensive and may act aggressive as a way to warn us not...
