It's harder than I thought.....
My buddy and I have been talking about surviving in the wild the past couple years. A little over a year ago we came up with a plan to do a "survival" trip, consisting of surviving out there for four days and 3 nights with nothing but a fire starter, knife, machete, some paracord, and a few cans of food, and a date was scheduled.....and that just happened to occur two weeks ago.
Even after all the research, planning, and practicing...we ended up leaving on day 2. Nature beat us.
Despite quitting....I have gained so much more respect for mother nature and all those indigenous tribes who do this every day. I also formed this "bond" with nature that I cannot explain, that has me extremely excited for the next trip out, which will be our chance to redeem ourselves. We decided to attempt it again on August 30th. I am counting the days......
Has anyone else tried to survive out there? (and i'm not speaking of "camping" in the wild)
