Taking a trip

"oh and yes i have come face to face with my own mortality...i was considered medically dead on 2 occasions but thank god they were able to save me...on one of those occasions i was completly paralyzed from the neck down after a car accident and it was thought that i would be forever...again thank god that wasnt the case...I dont fear death, i figure im gunna die when im gunna die and i cant change that no sence worrying about something i can do nothing about."

But some one else was there to save you, same thing happen in the bush we wouldn't be have this conversation.

"I dont fear death"
I do fear death it is the last thing that I want to do ;)

"i figure im gunna die when im gunna die and i cant change that no sence worrying about something i can do nothing about."
And yes you can do something about it matter of fact you are doing something now.... LEARNING

dude, what carcajou said, also....in terms of exact advice, check out the threads that may address your needs. Sometimes we may get a little grumpy because we're repeating ourselves. There's a lot of information that's been covered in these threads, surf through some of them. There's advice on food, clothing, tools, weapons, hunting, fishing, your love life, (well not your's personally...), shelters, reading weather conditions, tracking, firestarting. Oh my GAWD, we cover everything!!!

Also, possibly accept that many statements made here are tongue-in-cheek. If you read a post and think "oh man you gotta be kidding me..." chances are the writer was.

The reason I got fustrated was because you failed at some of the questions I asked. It's not just you and your buddy's life we're talking about here. There's also the potential for harm coming to the "Search & Rescue" Personel that might have to try and save you guys. To Survive anything you need a tough hide, so don't let the way some of these remarks sound bother you. We're not here to "baby" you but to get tough with you hoping you'll get tough in the process, at least that's the way I do it. Hence my screen name. You've shown some wisdom here that I can appreciate. At least you're adding to things. What's in the 1st aid kit you're taking along? Let me clarify a few things about what you've said:

1st, you're right about what they didn't have 1000's of years ago; they also had a higher mortality rate. Trust me on this, every new Hi-tech thing they came up with back then was snapped up and used. They would have loved 550 cord.

2nd, The idea of your death might not bother you, but what about that of your partner? What would your reaction be if you had to watch him die because of an error in judgement on your part? There are people here who have seen that happen 1st hand.

3rd, If you really read Cody's e-mail to Rick's question then you've read what he said about the students he gets. By the way, his is one of the top rated "Primitive Living" schools in the country, and you ought to see what's in his Survival kit.

You've been given a lot of advice here, I don't understand why you think you haven't. Re-read Carcajou Garou's post, he nailed it.

Finally, hang around more after Finals are over. Dialouge more. This is the only Survival web-site I belong to as the others I visited didn't measure up. BTW, wanna go to the South Pole?:rolleyes:

Mike - I do appreciate the apology. That also says something very positive about you. And just to set the record straight. I have an MBA so I do know a little something more than my outdoor experience has taught me. Enough so that I give my experience such as much weight as my education. They are not mutually exclusive.

Take some time and read about Timothy Treadwell. He ignored all the professionals and would up getting eaten for his trouble. He got his girl friend eaten, too. Mother Nature is not a kind lady. My point is, learn how to fail as well as how to succeed. By educating yourself on what not to do you are also educating yourself on what you should do. I hope that makes some sense to you.

I won't bother echoing what others have said. They did a good job in their explanation. We did have some fun and your expense. We did get frustrated but only because we really do care even though you are a complete stranger to us.

I'm glad you decided to add some additional gear. There is no reason that you can't pack enough gear to be reasonably safe. It doesn't mean you have to rely on it. Pack it and do exactly what you intended to do. Try to survive with a knife and some twine. At least if you have the extra gear with you it will be there to fall back on in an emergency.

Continue to ask questions. Toss out scenarios and we'll give you our best answers based on our experience. We want to see you succeed and have some fun. But above all else, we want you to be safe when you do it.

Rick? Buddy? You gotta MBA? WOW! :eek: :eek: You just never appeared that smart in the things I've read....LMAOOOO


sorry partner, couldn't resist....

Mighty Big A**

Oh My God, best one yet...I am laughing here.

Okay, you want help we need to find out what you know and what you don't here's a few questions from my "Survival Test". See what you can come up with. (No help from the audience please.) Hint: Some of the answers are posted on this site.

1.) List the "Rule of Three".
2.) Name the 5 heat-loss mechanisms, describe what they are and what you
can do to avoid them.
3.) List the four essentials to Survival.
4.) List the 7 deadly enemies.

And these are the easy ones. Just when you thought Finals were about over. And don't forget about the South Pole, we get to see Nell in a loin cloth and trax in a tux.:rolleyes:

Little Johny was sitting in the back row but the teacher never called on him. Then one day....

Ooh. Ooh. I know. I know. Pick me.

And these are the easy ones. Just when you thought Finals were about over. And don't forget about the South Pole, we get to see Nell in a loin cloth and trax in a tux.:rolleyes:

Oh my,I told you I needed a little more than the loin cloth:D,gonna have to borrow a few extra feathers:o
