Hi my name is Dominick but you can call me Dom. I hail from The Space Coast and have lived here for most my life. I love the outdoors and I have a 15 year old son who loves it as much as I do. He's into survival largely because of "Dual Survivor" on the Discovery Channel. Since then I have been teaching him all I know about surviving the wilds of Florida.
Just recently after a good soaking of rain, we were in the bush and while teaching him navigation techniques with a compass, I spotted an old dead pine tree. I showed him how to harvest some "lighter knot" (AKA fat wood) He was amazed at how easily you could start a fire with it even when wet.
We're going primitive camping this winter with the bare essentials and I will see if he can hack it. I have confidence in him and he is looking forward to it.
Dom
