Since my middle school years I have been interested in learning survival skills. Whether camping or going out on "survival" trips, I have enjoyed wilderness areas with family and friends. I hope to share that enjoyment with you.

This site is dedicated to the idea that wilderness survival skills do not have to be complex. There is usually a simple way to achieve any desired goal and demonstrating how to do something need not be lengthy or complicated. I do not presume to have all the answers or claim that the ways that I present are always the best, but they will be simple and they will work.
