I think I may have mentioned about 8 pages or so back on this thread that I was done with it, yet here I am, and here's why. Here it is. I can't believe those guys have wound up with a 13 pages thread dedicated to them and their misadventures. I suppose its a good thing for new members to sort of get a sense of what we're about or for newbies to the outdoors to get a sense of how not to behave, but...Yikes, 13 pages and me running off at the mouth about it.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
Think of them as a problem child at work. You know the kind. 10% of the employees require 90% of the attention.
Ive actually learned quite a bit from these two like how NOT to plan a trip
Life is a path that cannot be seen but must be walked
I would just refer them to trax's story about the tax man lol

Hey guys. Im looking for a bit of advice.
My friend and I (Ages 16 and 17) will be going to live in the Northern Ontario Wilderness (around the timmons area) for about a week in Late june, just after school ends. It may be more depending on how well we do.
We both own air rifles and are frequent fishermen. We are planning on surviving mainly off of fish and most likely small game like squirrels. We want to plan everything out perfectly before we go.
Any advice at all would be helpful.
Thanks, Shifty.

Well Shifty, looks like you picked the right thread to ask your question. Before I, and others answer, how about going here http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14 to introduce yourself. Tell us a bit about your experience in the wilds, hobbies, ya know that sort of thing. Nothing too personal. This will give us a better idea on what advice to give you.

K i made a little somehting about myself. Not much, but it shows a bit where i am coming from.
A course in survival would not be an option for me at this point, for various reasons. So instead i am trying to gather as much information about survival in northern ontario as i can.
any help would be great!
thanks. Shifty
Shifty, based on the information you have provided, I would recommend against going out into the wilds to test yourself for a week or more. IMO the best way to test yourself and your skills is to go camping with all of your gear. If you want to start fire using only primitive methods fine. But at least you will have your gear with you if you need it. Build your own shelter - go for it. The tent is your back-up. Want to eat off the land - sure why not. A little rice and beans or some camp food will be there if you need it. There is absolutely no good reason to put yourself in a potential life and death situation on purpose. What you are suggesting is dangerous and I don't recommend it. Take a look at the blogs. Sarge, one of the moderators has posted some useful information there (as have others) but some of his stuff is targeted toward what you are trying to do.
Stay with the forums, ask questions, learn. Do not get upset if you don't always get the answer you want.....sometimes it's the answer that you need.

Shifty,
Read this entire forum to start with. There is tons of good advice here and at the top of the list, the best advice starts with Crash's initial advice to you.
What Crash told you is wise and true. I have a little bush time behind me and I still take back ups for my back up. Do not go off on a triip to test youself without everything you would need , leave it in your pack if you want to but DO NOT put yourself in harms way for some macho idea of testing yourself.
