maybe we should designate a couple of people each month to dream up a backcountry survival scenario, then the rest of us try to tough it out. Do it as a group and there's no real danger, and the lessons learned can be swiftly disseminated with a daily debrief.

But the Haiti thing, that aint survival, Haiti has been a third world cesspool for a few decades now - it's chronic and NOT a good training ground. While it would seem they might want to bootstrap themselves, they're a good example of how welfare kills the spirit of self-reliance - so many years now with multiple generations growing up in the conditions set by their kleptocrats and UN social welfare agencies.

I've ASKED about this kind of stuff, and the "agencies" dont want your time unless you're a doctor or engineer - they want your money.

How does a 2.5 mile hike (as the crow flies) from a ski resort to a cabin sound? That's what I was planning to do sometime. I was going to just try and do it with a compass and topo map. The area I was going to do it in was some where I thought was pretty fool proof (for me).
