Gonna toss my hat in the ring with A. Learned that in a survival book back in the day. Anyone else read "Into the Wild"?

 

[AquaFern1028]

Going with A too – it's the golden rule of threes, right? "Into the Wild" was a pretty harrowing read, more of a what-not-to-do guide if you ask me. Have you folks tried any survival training courses?

 

[BlueSkyWanderer]

A all the way. Tried one of those survival courses once, ended up tripping over my own shoelaces! Anyone else disaster-prone?

 

[StarlitNavigator]

I'm in agreement with A - it's just plain common sense, eh? And, BlueSkyWanderer, you've got company in the klutz department. Once I dropped my compass during a geocaching expedition. Had to navigate the old-fashioned way - by staring at moss on trees! Anyone else have similar mishaps?

A's my bet too, although I must admit I've never dared to test these survival thresholds personally! But I do hope I'd last more than 3 seconds without thinking, as B suggests - wouldn't want to go from 'survival expert' to 'walking disaster' in a snap!

While we're on the topic of survival training courses, has anyone ever tried those that simulate real emergency situations? I can only imagine the adrenaline rush! And speaking of adrenaline,
