Survival? What's that?
In 43 countries on 5 continents of fun and wild trekking, camping out on the Andes and Alps summer and winter, in deserts and marshes in India Africa and South America, Malaysian and South American jungles and rainforest,and quite a few British green fields and forests , the bleak and windy Cuillin Ridge, the Cairgorm, and wild wet Wales at a badly chosen time a few times ( about average for Wales,haha) I never yet had to bother with any survival stuff.
The survival book readers can do all that.
I just live outdoors for long holidays when I can get a long holiday. It's better than survival.
You live better when you can live instead of surviving.
So I've never had a survival knife when a simple kitchen knife does the job better for food and a folding pruning saw and a small (very small) axe does the job better for wood for fires and shelters and making rafts and boats and mountain man backpacks and longbows and arrows, spears for fishing and hunting, and ,and is a useful hammer as well, using the back of it.
I don't bother with survival kits when a small pocket knife (Army issue, lasted forty years and still going strong) and a bit of fishing gear and a few bits of thread and string and a washing line and plastic sheet do pretty much everything if I want to go lightweight without a tent like my old friend from my youth Horace Dall did when he was young and was the first man ever to get a bike across Iceland...a Rayleigh Roadster 3-speed... all the way across the middle which he did in polished leather shoes and a jacket and tie.
Ranger something was that ? Or seller for posers and wannabee heroes something?
Oh for the good life....the simple life of outdoor luxury with just a few bits to keep going with.
All of which you've doubtless already got somewhere tucked away in drawers in the kitchen and the garage or wherever.
No special stuff needed. It keeps the shops in business that's all.
Natives in the jungle don't have survival shops. They live there OK anyway.
Nice folks, if you don't turn up with scary looking knives and funny explorer hats. It puts them off a bit and then you don't get dinner and a place to sleep like wot I do and hundreds of others who don't look like a threat including hundreds of girls who travel without knives and a load of survival kit stuff.
Keep it easy. You get a better life that way. Have fun.
Survival see? Just plain simple livin'. That S word makes a lot of easy money for some folks.
One guy said it's cos I was in the army but I only got the outdoor job cos I already was doing it before I joined up at 22 like thousands of other people go off round the world or to some wild place they've dreamed of, and the army guys found I was OK with navigation and living out on mountains and I got another job to add to the one I had.....how it goes.
Lots do it and never get an instructing job though they could.
Stay easy....take it all as it comes. It was better than being a drill sergeant,haha.
I did something I liked....not bad for the army.....
A couple of outdoor ones....no special kit needed. Except a wok for the cooking one.
And an old biscuit tin. Gotta bake a couple of trout some kind of way........
