its not that I dont want to, I just don't think I can without suffering great needless discomfort. Theres a story about a guy that had the same youthful yearning to be out in nature, Chris McCandles or somesuch, and he was WOEFULLY unprepared and lacking wholy in ability - I'd never be stupid...

I do, but its a concrete garden lol no grass or soil. I play around and have bonfires, lighting it with flint and steel, & cookng on open fires just to experiment a couple of times, seemed a precise art suppose. we young feckers are too used to modern life convenience as hazardous as that might...

Great advice, - I really admire this guy - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA incredible. is anyone else here at this extreme level of surivorship, using raw earth? I'd be immensely impressed, and have a question, how long do you think it took for this guy to get this...

Yeh, this is very helpful, thanks alot. I will def have to do a little look into making sure my next camping trip is warm without overdoing it. Maybe next time I should only camp at the peak of the summer!

Cute bit of simple kit to do the basics with and have a play around, thanks alot man.

Very encouraging words, thank you, I really only considered giving it a try again after watching another old episode of Ray Mears & Les Stroud, I admire their resilience and its a trait I feel is lacking in myself. Of course, we should all want to improve ourselves so that's why I'm here :)

I envy you, that sounds like the perfect existence, peaceful and calm, natural. I imagine one day when I'm an old fecker I'll be striving to live in a similar environment. But at 30, I've still got some juice in the tank to pursue adventure for alittle while longer hehe

Good question one I didnt think of, yet its the bane of my first and last camping trip lol

IMMENSELY helpful thread here, thank you A+ 10/10 Keep posting good material, I find I learn better from watching examples than from reading about this stuff.

It's funny really, we assumed it would be fine as long as we had a tent, but we ended up sleeping in the car for heat purposes, I really didnt know what I was doing. Anyway - as for eating wild stuff, Im no where near that level. I guess a few Ray Mears episodes doesn't cut it, lol

Thanks man, I'll do a course when I have time, but I have a fond memory of taking my first girlfriend camping and it was a disaster, we had this romantic notion that it'd be wonderful and cute thing to do, but it really didnt work out that way haha. Of course, I was a novice and didnt know what...

The cold, lol yeh, I guess that was it really. Is there such a thing as a heater that isnt a flame you can take with you?

haha they might turn into ghouls or supermutants and dominate the wastelands!!! What a lovely fate. If you don't get the reference, sorry, I'm a bit of a Yoomer, gen Y - Fallout franchise is set in a universe which saw a devastation of a nuclear fallout and the chaotic aftermath of humanity...

Don't worry fella, I'm not going to take stupid risks and put myself and others in danger, I know my limits. For me its just about at least having some BASIC survival skills should the world happen to go to **** heh. Sure its unlikely, and Im not a full blown prepper, but I imagine its a huge...

The reason I'm really here, is I love watching Ray Mears, Les Stroud as odd as that might sound, hehe. and I really want to have the skills to survive like they do. Would you say this website can help? I even got myself a flint/steel to test myself in a very limited setting (my local park LOL)...

Hello. So variation in situation - I want to enjoy nature with as little discomfort as possible. I tried camping, hated it. I just want the skills to survive in the wild should I ever unfortunately find myself in that situation. I can imagine people like me will be the first to die in an...
