Mark,

Please excuse these rude responses!

If I made my first post and got this nonsense I would blow this site off as a bunch of fools and spend my valuable time elsewhere. There are fellow hunters here.

Welcome to ETS! It is a great place! There are more survival ideas being tried and discussed here than anywhere else I have seen.

Look on the home page and you will see two books suggested: "98.6" and "Deep Survival" they may be at your library. They are the source for many of the discussions here.
