Hey guys and gals

[Fisherman Dylan]

Hi everybody. Im 15 and a freshman at Lewis Central High in Coulcil Bluffs, Iowa. When I graduate I hope to be a Wilderness Survival Instructor. Im hoping to expand on my knowledge on my wilderness survival. I have a fairly good knowledge on most survival aspects already I can use a fire bow, saw method, and the magnifing glass methods and i know how to purify water and build a nice waterproof shelter. I hope to make many friends here and hope to expand my knowledge. Thanks for taking time to read this

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums! It's a fantastic place to learn.

Welcome! It is good that you are starting to learn about the basics of survival during your teen years. Just be careful not to get in over your head. Stay humble and take good advice. This is a good place to be for both.

Sometimes the "old timers" are a little rough on the "wide eyed youths," so don't be offended if they give you a hard time on something. They are just trying to help and to keep you out of trouble.

Learn all you can!

Okay, I'm one of the tough guys you've been warned about! So are you ready for the Wolf Pack? Are you tough enough? Can you take blunt, honest criticism? Remember, you have to be able to tough out anything; so how easily do your feelings get hurt? If you have the tough hide that a Survior MUST have in order to make it then read these next few questions over very carefully.

1.) Are you, or have you ever been involved with the Boy Scouts or similar organization?

2.) The skills you've listed are learned by most Boy Scouts within their 1st three years, how do you apply the Boy Scout Motto to your skills?

3.) What do you think will qualify you as a Survival INSTRUCTOR right after you graduate? We have many of such on this forum, find out what they think the qualifications are!

4.) Define Survival.

That ought to keep you busy for awhile...later.

Welcome Ranger Dylan, that's a great goal, getting to get paid for doing what you love to do. If there's anything we can help with, ask, if there's anything you want to offer, go for it.

Welcome, How much money does a wilderness instructor make?

If there's water nearby - a couple of fins and a buck.

Good one! He will get some good laughs here.

Welcome aboard Ranger Dylan. I'm curious about what materials you've had success with using the Fire bow and saw. I'm also interested in any other primitive methods you use for anything you do. There's a lot to be learned here from each other and it sounds like you've got some stuff to share. Enjoy!

Pay close attention to Sarge and you'll do great. Sarge himself was trained by the best - a couple of guys named Nativedude and Primitiveman. You can often find Sarge practicing his skills at the Living Wild Community.
