During my lunch break at work I will often go out for a walk in some nearby wooded walking trails. It’s during that time that I try to find one wilderness survival skill that I can practice for that hour. This past week I concentrated on fire. You’ll be amazed at the many opportunities you have to practice or think about preparedness scenarios if your mindful of it.
