It is interesting to think about survival skills and what you would do…also what have your taught your children?
Survival skills are an asset, having anything is better than nothing. It is also the mindset of being able to look at things and come up with a solution instead of freaking out and sitting down doing nothing.
Take your kids out to the wilderness and spend some time exploring and thinking about a different life, teach them something, learn something together – enjoy the experience and journey!
If you don’t have kids, go out there by yourself or with others and experience the woods and see what you learn about yourself!
