I’ve been wondering lately, I know how to do all basic survival skills- but I don’t usually carry a knife, b/c of “No Weapons” laws in Stores and Buildings. So say im lost in the wild, you’d obviously need a knife. So my question would be: How do you make a Knife or Cutting Object out of Stuff you could find in Nature/the Woods?!
hello i am 23 years old and have always been raise in close contact with nature. i have the skills to survive in the wild and i have the equipment too.
I have camped all over Portugal for periods of time up to one month and for several year been thinking on doing a more complex trip.
I just have to know someplace where i can camp without civilization contact.
This camp trip will last 6 months and will happen in two years time when i finish my master degree.
I will go with two friend who also love wild camping and are currently training survival skills.
After a lot of search i found some country’s as Austria, Bulgaria and Estonia to at least resembles with what we want…
So basically i am looking for a place with a water stream or small river ( water, fishing) wildlife ( hunting) and a considerable distance of civilization ( maybe several days walking distance from a remote village?) and off course a country where that would not upset the authorities or locals( if they even saw us i mean).
In the group we all have a deep sense of nature protection and would not hunt or fish more than needed ( just enough to survive) and will not litter or spoil the place.
we just want to live in symbioses with nature for 6 months so we can feel the true importance of nature and find out who are we.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated!!! thank you!
The saying goes that all Americans are immigrants, yet an intelligent individual knows that many, I hope, are referring to the Founding Fathers of this nation, since one who is born in the United Sates is a citizen. This is a logical point of view: the Founding Fathers are immigrants to the continent North America, not to the country of the United Sates, as they are the ones that formed this nation. So, any one of their families have a right to be in the country of the United States. When we deport immigrants, usually Hispanics, we don’t ship them out of the continent; they are sent back to their homeland, usually the lower half of North Continent. Now, many will say that the Founding Fathers took the land from the Natives, and that we robbed them from their land. Though this is a sad fact, that is human nature, ergo: competition. Better yet, survival of the fittest. Look at the Aztecs, and how they spread. They had better weaponry, more in numbers, and were better trained. That is why they conquered and won. This is the same for the Founding Fathers. This is the same for the Natives who competed with one another as well. This is human nature that persists up to this day, such as in the Middle East and with tribes in the Amazon Jungle. My rant is not to support the stopping illegal immigration, as I favor immigration to a degree, it must be controlled, and only those with valuable skills should be allowed in, skills that will make this nation better. I digress. My rant was to share my opinion on this saying, as it is rather ignorant, and its foundation is brittle at best. A better saying would be, “Americans take their nation for granted, and know nothing of their government, politicians and laws.”

I sure do! Building a hut out in nature and growing my own food (if I knew it) seems a hell of a lot more liberating than spending 40 hours a week for the rest of my life being someone else’s female dog!

Here are some other things that nature alone can’t be blamed for:
Lightning has caused forest fires throughout the ages. Can reckless campers or arsonists not also be causing forest fires?
Over eons, animals have gone extinct due to natural causes ranging from asteroids to ice ages. Does that mean Man can’t be causing modern extinctions by destroying species habitat, or via hunting with efficient weapons?
Volcanoes have created random bouts of air and water pollution throughout the centuries. Does this mean people can’t generate pollution from oil, coal, atomic bombs and synthesized chemicals?
Hurricanes have toppled trees throughout history. Does that mean people cannot fell trees with axes and chain saws in greater numbers?
If a mammoth knocked a boulder off a cliff 740,000 years ago, is it impossible for dynamite and bulldozers to level entire mountaintops for coal mining in 2010?
This is an attempt to get people to stop changing the subject to “natural cycles” and deal with the here-and-now of human impact on Earth.
It doesn’t matter if CO2 levels were much higher in ancient times when the Earth was younger. Back then, volcanic activity, plant growth & decay was more extensive and many climate factors have changed over time. Most people would never know about those factors were it not for scientists, whom they have the luxury of second-guessing with superficial knowledge.
The cause of modern CO2-increase has been shown to be mostly man-made (anthropogenic). We are releasing ancient stored carbon through systematic mass-burning that nature has never seen before. Man is causing many changes that were previously the sole domain of nature. It’s a fact. Deal with it.
Assuming that you don’t deny the anthropogenic origin of MODERN CO2 increases, and you don’t deny that CO2 traps heat, how can you deny that man-made CO2 levels are causing warming in MODERN times?
Try to answer that basic question without changing the subject to the usual canards, or trying to make the fundamentals more complex than they need to be, i.e. challenging the whole concept of the greenhouse effect.
To put it another way: If you asked a contractor whether dual-pane windows would raise the interior temperature of a remodeled house, he (if he had any integrity) would say “yes, they would” and wouldn’t try to change the subject to Al Gore’s monthly heating bill, or the tax rate in West Virginia.
In other words, stay on topic or don’t bother answering. It’s a small thing to ask.
