LOCAL HERO.. by that i mean who in the history of your
part of the country is the "do-all" live off the land" guy.
out west it might be the prospector or "desert rat"..what kind
of gear did he carry?..the sourdoughs way up north..what was
in their bag..in the Everglades??.what did the folks who were
driven out of their homes during the depression take with them
when they set up housekeeping in the Keys?? in my part of the
world its the fur trapper..a axe and not a big knife was their
main tool..for a knife they just had a small pocket knife for
skinning..the axe was the tool that carryed them thru the winter
cutting firewood and in building their "tilt" or small cabin.
very small cabin..i would suggest that finding your local hero
and reading up on their lifestyle would be a good start in
planning your survival plot and plan..
