Outdoor Survival Training 101




Brandon was quite intent on building himself a little model shelter with twigs, rocks and bits of banana leaves. While doing so, he expounded on the 5 W's (sorry, I was not a good student, because I only remember water and something about widowmaker), the 5 kinds of salmon (learned in Alaska), the correct way to start a fire, fire ring safety, the importance of dry wood, and types of roof coverings for wilderness structures. When did he become old enough to know all this information? It must be from watching Survivorman dvds.
