I’m a college male who is a little on the old side to join something like the boy scouts, however I would still love to learn some of the unique trivia and lesser-known skills of camping (I’m talking about backpacking or survivalist style camping, not car or camp site camping). These skills could be anything from how to create a make-shift shelter, build a fire (and cook on it (maybe even without cookware)), learn how to tie knots and there uses, foraging and hunting food, or anything in between.
So, I’m asking for any recommendations on reading material, websites, or videos as well as any personal advice that you would like to share. (My goal is to eventually get to a “survivalist” style where I need to take only the bare essentials (yes, I know this will take many years to get to).)
Thanks for all your help.
