It was Scouting that got me into Bush Crafting, can any other claim the same?

Didnt he mention that his teaching was good for girls too in his book? I have a copy somewhere but not to hand.

Just had a quick scan. Can’t find it but it could be there. I certainly don’t remember it.

EDITED TO ADD:
My family tells me that he did say that. The daughter who became one of the first Girl Scouts was told this.

It was only after I'd been here for a while that I actually remembered what the initial impetus was, a free gift with Bullet comic, a little document titled "Survival The Fireball Way", I could remember getting books from the library, heading up the hill & glen near our house with early versions of a tobacco tin kit and a little very dodgy fishing and trapping, but only after seeing a repro of the comic gift here did I actually remember that that's what it was, that was the spark, that's why it wasn't skateboards or Raleigh Choppers and thats why my avatar here is what it is.

I just had a memory come to me out of nowhere seemingly, but then i think in part the seed of which may have been sown by ONE here.

Members of this parish of a certain vintage may possibly remember when the Eagle Comic book was relaunched in the early 80’s, i have a vague memory of a strip in that called The Survivor, Survival or summat along those lines. Anyone else remember this? I never had the Eagle meself but a then friend would let me sometimes read his after he had read it if i was around his house.
Got me thinking has there ever been any other comic books/strips along same similar stories? Theres the Walking Dead Zombie Survival yes

Yep to answer me own question , The Walking Dead before the Walking Dead but set in Blighty
