Wilderness survival is a must for all advanced hikers and backpackers.  Some prefer to stay out for a few days, while others will go on long extended backpacking trips.  Either way, it is extremely important to know wilderness survival past more than a day hike.  And even then, such knowledge is valuable and lifesaving in the event of being stranded.  We’ll focus on a few different aspects of wilderness survival in this series, and touch on the important points that you should focus on.

If you feel like you need on-hand experience with wilderness survival, I would definitely suggest taking a course with your local sportsman’s club or outdoor recreation center/trainer.  The information gained is extremely precious when in a survival situation, and you can learn a lot from even a short introductory course.  Stay tuned for more!
