The thread about the TV show " Naked and Afraid" got me to thinking. How are every ones survival skills ?
Mine are very basic but would work in a pinch. Building things like shelter are easy for anyone who thinks about it hard enough, but finding enough food to sustain you without the aid of a bow or a rifle might be a challenge for even the most woods savey guys i know.
I have tried to start a fire using several different methods and im here to tell you ALL of the primitive methods i tried failed bigtime. And all of these attempts where made while i wasnt under any kind of stress like needing to boil water to have my first drink in days or stay warm or keep the jungle critters at bay.
Even the firestarters you can buy at any store are no gaurentee of success although some are better than others.
On a scale of 1 to 10 ill give myself an honest 5.5 at this point but i am working to improve these skills.
How would you rate your skills ?
