good reference in here, however I feel it needs to be updated. But the basics are sound. It;s what I used for SERE School when I was on active Duty.
I have a book called Surviving the Wilds of Florida by Reid F Tillery. Its pretty informative.
Yea,thats all good stuff but anymore you cant be lost more than a day.You will come across a road or house something.It aint like it was when we were kids anymore.people,people,people every were
You ain't been out in a ti-ti head at night yet without a compass.
That's peoples biggest problem,they panic.That happened to my buddy last year,no compass and his flashlight died. I got him out at midnight. He was less than 100 yards from the road in stuff so thick you can't move in a forward direction.
Just came across this and thought about the guy stuck in the glades right now. Hope survival mode kicks in and he comes through.
