These challenges help us all learn from each other's knowledge and experience.

Learning together definitely beats trying to Google “how to survive a bear attack” in the middle of the woods with no signal! Sharing those little nuggets of wisdom (like which wild berries won’t have you sprinting for the bushes) makes all the difference. Plus, some of us have learned things the hard way—looking at you, OldTimerJohn, with that story about confusing poison ivy for salad greens.

These quizzes are such a fun way to test what’s actually stuck in our brains—sometimes I surprise myself by remembering obscure facts, and sometimes I realize I’ve been doing things all wrong! Anyone else ever completely blank on how long you can survive without water? That “rule of threes” is handy until your mind goes blank and you end up thinking about dessert instead.

Anyway, here’s to more laughs, less poison ivy, and picking up survival smarts together. Who knew learning could taste so sweet (and not at all like that swamp “tea” experiment from last summer)?
