    Thumbs down Bad information

    I recently came across a site which, From the start looked 'Okay' in a proffesional sense

    However some of the information ive seen on it sofar i either cant beleve will work, Or know it wont

    It is run by a guy called Wolf Mills, A supposedly ex special forces soldier, turned survivalist

    Some examples are :-

    In a Question directed to the site creator-
    Hey Wolf, what's the most difficult survival situation you've ever faced"




    A: "I'd have to say it was when I was trapped adrift on a block of ice in the Bearing Sea for a week. I had to sculpt a piece of ice into a magnifying glass and hold it up to the Sun to burn my clothes just to stay warm. Luckily, I was able to fashion a harpoon from a drifting whale bone and spear a passing Seagull for food."
    .................................................. ..................................................
    In the bearing sea, naked, For a week, On a piece of ice ?
    Yeah right, youed be dead from hypothermia after the fist day (minimum)


    Another is one of his survival "tips" -

    If you're ever trapped in the African savannah (as I often am) and are charged by a rhino, simply pantomime writing with your left hand as rhinos instinctively shy away from left-handed people.

    .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..................
    I have no information on this, But somehow i think pantomimeing with my left hand isnt going to scare off anything, Let alone a full sized rhino


    It annoys me that the people on this site, And other like it. Give good, croorect inforamtion to people interested in survival, Making them that bit more prepaired

    However these guys out there that post this stuff, i think are dangerous to a point. What if someone who is new beleives that stuff ? They might try it and end up dead


    Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks

    It's just a spoof site. Climbing Mt Kilamanjaro in flip flops....black belt in pilates....I don't think this guy intends for anybody to take him serious. Unfortunately the sad reality is that there are some that will.

    The web site states on the home page "Survivor Stud - A parody by Jason Klass". It's meant to be a joke.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Most people don't think about it but dental hygiene is critical in the field. Luckily, you can make a simple toothpick to clean your teeth. Here's how: start by finding a log about 12" in diameter and 10 foot long. Then, simply take your knife and whittle it down to the size of a toothpick. Now you've got an important survival tool that will help you stay healthy in the bush.
    now why didn't I think of that?

    If you've got a knife what do you need a tooth-pick for?
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Well, my knife is so sharp, that if I were to clean my teeth with it, I would shave of splinters that could be used as fishhooks or needles because, after all, bone is sharper than anything, so its strictly a personal safety issue, dontchaknow.

    Well, and they say you shouldn't pick your teeth in public but I did (I'll take those ones, doctor)
    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"
