    Ocean's harder, I'd be pretty comfortable in most forest situations anyway. Me floating on a dingy looks to a shark exactly the way a bit of a cold cut looks on a Ritz cracker to me. Think swimming matters? Shark can swim better.
    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"

    What if in the woods you were stuck with your annoying neighbor who you can't stand, but in the lifeboat with you was the supermodel of your dreams? Change anyone's mind?

    Nope. Because I have my gear with me, my annoying neighbor will work out just fine (or become survival food). A supermodel in the lifeboat would get me killed (when I got back).

    I'd use my neighbor for food and then have self gratification on a full stomach over the thought of a hot supermodel.

    Drinking ocean water goes against everything that I've ever learned about ocean survival. For me, solar still is the way to go for fresh water. I had one of these that was about 4 ft across. On hot days you can get quite a bit of water. On cold, cloudy days - better have some left over.

    I think the point is you could survive if you follow his guidelines. What if you didn't have that solar still on your dingy? Then what?

    Oh, I know what you're saying. Have just never heard it before. It is interesting though.

    In this case, hope you opted for the woods.

    I had remembered reading about him some time ago. I don't know if it works or not. Don't know that I'd want to try it but it's always good to have "one more plan" in the old noggin.
