Ok heres the deal. Your on a hiking trail thats a bit less traveled and is hard to tell where your going. you get lost. you dont panic you examin the situation and decide not to get any more lost and stay put.you have a book of matches in your pocket but the book only has 1 left. you gather make some tinder gather some wood and try to build a fire. its getting dark fast. you brought with you only a light jacket and its getting cold. once you have your fire set up u try to light it. your trembeling. it lights but goes out imediatly afterwords. What do you do? make a temp shelter or try building a fire without matches? any tips on how to build the fire (very low to no light)? any tips on what kind of shelter to build for the night? (keeps you FAIRLY WARM) {items on you when u got lost blue jeans light coat t shirt swiss army knife and a leatherman}<br><br>

Hi Ron,<br>Your chances of building a fire without matches in the dark while cold are 0 or less than zero. Thats why we must BE PREPARED.<br>A debris shelter is probably the best bet, though stuffing your clothes with leaves and moving around may keep you warmer (unless it's raining/snowing.)<br>IMHO a lighter and space blanket are MUCH more important than a knife (despite how comfortable I feel with my knife)<br>JB<br><br>

Exactly what I did. Because we arise at 5:00 am sharp, my head starts nodding by 9 pm. Love that VCR.<br><br>By the way, I carry a lighter everywhere (except maybe aboard airplanes) even though I don't smoke. Carrying a lighter, a Photon II, and a fodling knife is a good idea no matter what your lifestyle is.<br><br>

Most likely the show will be rebroadcast, they tend to re air popular shows. As far as Rudy is concerned he has spent the most time in the naval special warfare than any other man. He probably has alot to offer as far as real world survival situations are concerned. He didnt just talk about surviving he actually did it.<br><br>
