I would like to see what skills and PSK items you guys would use in a specific survival situation.
Imagine you have driven to a remote location that is a pine tree forest. You get out of your vehicle to explore. When you got out of your car the sky was clear and it was about 76. You have your PSK with you. You are dressed in sneakers, jeans, a polo style shirt and a hat. You have been wandering around for some time. There is about two hours before sunset. The sky has grown dark and it is getting windy. It is starting to rain hard and you realize you are lost and going to have to spend the night where you are. It will rain on and off all night. The temperature will get down to the low 40s. You are in danger of hypothermia. If you do not do something to stay warm and dry you will be dead by morning. If you survive the night, in the morning you will climb a hill and see the sun’s reflection off of the glass windows of your vehicle, it is about two miles away. You will take a bearing with your compass and walk back to your vehicle and drive home.
Given that you have to do something to stay warm and dry to survive what skills and what items from your PSK will your use? Keep in mind it is now wet, windy, and raining. I’ll give my answer in another post.
Thanks!
