If anyone cares, I was eaten by a wolverine shortly after turning south.

I'm kind of with Rick on the fire thing. I hope I could. I have in the past. Have not practiced the skill enough (now I know what I need to work on). Hope is probably not a great idea when making out my route. I agree with the "knowing your limitations" theory of surviving. Helps keep you from getting in too far over your head.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I can tell you there are two points of light visible from where I sit. One is just past a horrendous set of teeth and the other is just past a horrendous.......hello? Is this thing on?

**Beo** · 02-22-2008, 10:31 PM

I'd of sent a helo to pick you up bro,

**carcajou garou** · 02-22-2008, 10:32 PM

and you thought the swamp smelled bad

**Rick** · 02-22-2008, 10:38 PM

Well, death by wolverine isn't so bad. I mean, I could have been on a forum trying to find my way back to civilization. So death wasn't so bad.

**carcajou garou** · 02-22-2008, 10:42 PM

Death by wolverine LOL
carcajou garou = surly wolverine

**Rick** · 02-22-2008, 10:45 PM

DBW if you prefer. So, you aren't THAT tough until wolverines look you up and ask for ideas. Then you can say you're tough.

Wolverine: So I hook a claw like this.
Carcajou Interupts: No. Now pay attention. If you do it like that.....

First I live on Lake Erie so I know a bit about the great lakes though I haven't spent much time in the U.P. to be considered an expert. I chose the area because it was different and not many people are familiar with it. I wanted to challenge you, make you gather information on the area to decide what to do.

The marsh would be the toughest. I would move to the highest point to my west to get dry and view the terrain. A bow and drill made from cotton wood would work to start a fire. I would use my pop bottle to boil the water but it would be a slow process. Later I would like to try to make a Birch bark water bucket to hold the boiled water.

I would progress southwesterly by foot until I hit a stream of good flow that ran down to Lake Michigan. I Would build a small raft to navigate the stream. Then I would build upon it once I hit Lake Michigan making a sturdy raft. I would navigate the west side of the lake moving into Green Bay and following it south to the city of Green Bay.
