My lady is having to write a paper for a final about survival skills and experiences, and to that end we developed a little questionnaire that will hopefully gather a pool of information and ideas we can research and use to fill our paper. We will take all the ideas and determine the most used and talk about the different techniques when it relates to 4 main points:
1. Food and Water
2. Shelter and Fire
Here is the survey, any answers provided can be useful. No names or other identifying information is presented, just the ideas and techniques. Muchly Appreciated.
If you are planning for an extended hike into back country, or on a self reliance trip, what are the main food sources you pack with you, or plan to acquire along the trip?
How do you pack enough water for an extended hike or self reliance trip, or how do you plan to find the resource and use and store that water for later?
How many calories do you expect to burn on an extended hike or self reliance trip and how do you plan for replenishing those calories when you are out there? What planning and training do you do to prepare for the nutritional and hydration challenges of an extended hike or self reliance trip?
How do you pace yourself on a extended hike or self reliance trip? Do you plan your pace to match the amount of food and water you have brought, or plan to collect?
When planning your shelter and fire needs for an extended hike or self reliance trip, what are your go to supplies and plans?
What tools do you include for firestarting and what are your go to methods for fire building? What properties of wood are you looking for to get the best chance of success in starting your fires?
What supplies do you bring to maintain shelter during an extended hike or self reliance trip? Do you pack in supplies with you, or plan to find materials?
When you set up camp for a night, what is your process for shelter and fire building?
How do you prepare and use your supply of firewood, if it is wet or limited?
