Wilderness Survival

Wilderness survival is probably misnamed. What we are really talking about are the skills that kept human beings alive before agriculture and civilization. Wilderness skills are about renewing your connection to nature, learning to be observant, and learning to live outside of civilization. Mastering wilderness skills means that you will always have the option of walking off into the woods (or desert, or tundra) and being totally free.
