Well, this thread comes back to life. I guess Step 1 is always being mentally and physically prepared to spend a night out every time you go into the woods. While I enjoyed "Undaunted Courage," I recommend "Deep Survival " by Gonzales. A big part of surviving any situation is getting and keeping your head "right." I gave a copy of Deep Survival to each of my kids.


Hunting success is 90 percent hunter, 10 percent weapon.
