I tried years ago to do this and I got nowhere. I am not sure but I just don't think I was patient enough. Would be a great skill to have though.

Here is a link that might help you, not sure. But from what I can see these help to clean the river. http://www.umesc.usgs.gov/aquatic/native_mussels/5004455.html

I would imagine that it would be harder for stars just because so many have other people doing everything for them. But I would agree with you in the sense that living the hollywood lifestyle is a...

Thank you for posting about the storm whistle. I never even realized a regular whistle might not work when wet. Thanks for the information.

We have never tanned the skins either. Thanks for the link I will have to show it to my husband. He would be interested in knowing how to do something like this.

That is an awesome idea. I never thought about doing something like this. This would be good for reading over with the whole family once it is done.

I live in Madison, Ohio. Right on Lake Erie. We have of course the lake and woods. There is also one swamp nearby but I have not yet seen it. Just moved here not to long ago.

Thanks for the information. I never thought about making a net on your own. But actually since joining this forum I have learned a lot of neat little tricks.

I have seen Man vs. Wild and enjoyed it. But I have not seen Survivorman yet. I don't even know when it airs in our area? I will have to look for it because I think it sounds interesting.

Well I tend to panic and stress myself out easy all the time. But I will say that once you have kids and they get hurt I seem to be the one in our house that doesn't panic right away. I usually...

I have not yet seen Survivorman. I had never heard of the edibility test that is very useful information. Thanks. Also you are right about the roots of a plant being good to eat but not the leaves. I...

Thanks for the link. I was telling my husband about this product yesterday. It sounds like it would be great to have in an emergency.

These are some great ideas. I like the pills. I have seen them but never have tried them. Bleach would work I would imagine but I would think it wouldn't be safe to drink?

Wow, I have never heard of this product. Sounds like it has a lot of uses. When I was reading your post it reminded me of duct tape only because you can do so much with duct tape.

I would have died if that happened to me. I have never gotten lost in the woods or anything like that. But my worst expierence was when I got lost in the local mall when I was young. I don't really...

This would be my biggest problem. I am not a person that really does well in any stressful situation. Hopefully I never have to fend for myself in the wild because no matter how prepared I would be I...

I had not thought about that trap in years. But yes, I have read about it in the past and it does work. I don't think I would be able to dig the hole big enough though if in a situation where it...

What exactly do you need to fear from the people. I mean are there alot of murders or robberies or something like that?

You know I have never tried it or cooked it for that matter. But I will ask my husband what he does because I know that he has a cookbook that has all kinds of receipes. I will dig it out and post on...

Thanks for the tips. I had no clue that they had flint lighter out now? I am glad to see it wasn't just me that couldn't get the hang of it.

Thank you, I will have to check these links out. I wonder if you didn't have twine though couldn't you use something in the wild in place of twine? Thanks again for the link.

I agree with you it is hard to pick what you should have in an emergency kit. I would constantly be adding things that I think I might need not always stuff that I would need for sure. Thanks for the...

I have no clue on how you would build you own traps if you were ever lost in the woods? I was just wondering if anyone on here knows how to and can maybe direct me to some places online where you...

I have never been stranded in a tourist spot, thank goodness. I never really thought about what I would do if it ever happened. I am really not sure when it comes to an unfamiliar area.

I will have to check out the books you were talking about. Thanks for all the information. I had no clue on the apples. Very interesting to know, thanks again.
