[QUOTE="blablabla, post: 3222135, member: 101398"] Well living in the Appalachians gives me a view of the skills without neccesarily putting me in a position where my life depends on them, and thanks to personal interest I've got a bit of experience in disaster and wilderness survival so I've got an idea what you're talking about and I agree they should be kept allive. I just don't feel that they're neccesary or even appropriate for most people to spend time learning, and I don't feel that the transition from basic wilderness survival skills to the basic survival skills these days really indicates any loss in integrity or strength of character. Now I do feel that there are plenty of people who are just wildly ignorant and self absorbed and miserably unaware of any sense of self preservation but it knows no age. These days it doesn't matter how efficiently you can hunt, skin and prepare game if you're too waspy to acknowledge the cars in the intersection you're walking through or too ignorant of or frustrated with modern media to assess the risks associated with travelling on a given country's airline.
