But he said you know where you are. That implied to me I know the area. If that's the case then I would know the water is still cold.

Not in necessarily, and you can take 55 degree water temps. stopping at night for building a fire.Quote:

So if I walk up to you and say do you know where bumfu*k egypt is you can say why yes and the water temp in june is this?
How much marsh do you figure you would have to travel through?
Use what ever resource you can for information sense yore not actually there.
I still won't take to the water wearing cotton clothes in those temperatures. What I really don't know are what the currents or prevailing winds are. I didn't check those out because I knew I wouldn't take to the water. I might even make faster time on land.
Bro, I know you well enough from chating on here to know that if you needed to you could make a fire with bow saw.
No Beo. I'm just going by the fact he said I know the area. Everything had to be looked up to make any determinations. Even which direction to travel. But once I knew the water temps I decided it wasn't for me.
I think at least 50% of the over land travel is going to be through marshes and bogs.
Are there any other options for fire building?
Rivers run south into lakes and following the shore say 10 to 15 feet off and you'll run into another river, take that as it runs south too, if you hit land cause river dead ends hoof it till you hit another river.
Get your directions from the sun, then head south.
I'm assuming you know the area and it looks like some 40 miles if I travel west southwest.
Beo - I am so bad at fire with sticks I wouldn't even waist my time. I think one of the keys to survival is to know your limitations.
Fire options... hmmmmm.
True bro, 78910.
Looks like plent of hardwood and pine or spruce. The glass coke bottle is a possiblity if the clouds are limited. Don't know about finding flint in this terrain.
duh why didnt i look at the map on my first respones i gouss it is in my home state haha
I think fire by wood, flint/chirt or coke bottle are the only options I can see.
Come on people throw in help here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I'd give 53 cents to be able to start fire easily
