Creek Trekking: Spot the resource!
Over the past weekend, my uncle and I took a nice hike down a remote creek. I wont disclose the location, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to post some pictures and play some games. I play this game with my kids all the time asking "What do you see that you could use to your benefit, to help you survive?"
So I'm asking you all the same questions.. some are obvious and I'll explain what some are, but the others are just to show the beauty of the area where I live and get you all to thinking about how much stuff in each picture you could use to prolong your life in a survival situation.
A couple freshwater springs in the edge of the creek. We found these all along the banks.

fun little creek crossing. a downed tree that took me over to a little island full of sorrel, milkweed, sage, dewberries, and hickory nuts (and probably some other stuff too!)
