I was an amateur day hiker for may years and every once in a while I'd get a wild hair up my ass and go on a walkabout for about a week in a survivalist situation where no man had gone before. One such excursion was in the forests of Big Sur, Ca which I wrote about on VNN many moons ago. Forests so vast and dense you wouldn't believe it. No one would ever find you if couldn't make it out on your own
You know what I learned what was the most important thing about survival? Not your backpack, food or medical supplies, water, bear spray or personal hygiene products. It's your brain. Don't lose your cool, don't panic. Think things out. Don't lose hope because if you do you're dead. Statistics show that people who get lost in the wilderness are dead within 3 days. Not from lack of water or food or warm shelter but because they gave up hope. When I wrote this years ago I did it in a kind of light hearted manner which minimized the danger I had put myself in. I could have easily been a statistic but I didn't panic and I never gave up hope. In fact it never entered my mind. Quote:

Another item I would suggest was a gift I received a couple of years back. I got a food saver vacuum sealer. It is the pro model and I am honestly surprised how much I use it. Not only can you preserve food but it is also great for protecting documents, meds, money etc. Pretty much anything you need to have an air and water tight seal. You simply can't get the same protection from a zip lock bag.
