Survival for the Rest of Us
Over the past few weeks I have read 4 different survival books, watched several videos, and read countless descriptions of how we are supposed to survive in the outdoors. These "professional survivalists" throw around all these great ideas about how to survive, but my question is, do they really work? Would the average person out lost in the wilderness really know how to use these techniques? Under a stressful survival situation what techniques should the average person even attempt. Over the next couple of months I am going to put all of these "techniques" into practice and see what really works. Bear Grylls, making a wet suit out of a dead seal, come on!!!

I must say, the seal wet suit visual is a little grotesque. I would think that if I'm lost and panicking and I'm using the limited knowledge I have of survival techniques, I'm focusing on water and shelter and how I'm getting out of my dire situation. I'm not going to be thinking about how a skinned javelina could be a nice coat for the chilly nights in the desert!
