Hi Jim, Thanks for the reminder.
I was right and wrong in my original post. Les Stroud (Survivorman) is doing a monthly 1/2 page Survival Tips column, but it is not in Outdoor Canada, it is in Ontario Out-Of-Doors magazine (usually the bottom of page 18).
I searched the Ontario Out-Of-Doors site but the complete magazine is not available on-line (they want you to subscribe).
I found the April, May, June and August 2008 editions at home, the topics are; using all fish parts, eating wild plants, and safe drinking water.
I think the first edition (proabally February 2008) had the survival kit items I wanted to discuss on the forum.
Reading Les's tips in an Ontario magazine is interesting for me because he talks about the enviroment that I live, work and play in, I can relate to it. For example, in his Survival Tip # 4 he talks about catching walleye (pickerel) with his father on the Magnetawan River, my hunt camp is adjacent to that river and I frequently hunt deer along the edge of it.
I will keep looking for the 2 missing editions, my DW cleaned-up my "crap", so they could be anywhere.
Mike
