Thanks so much for the tip Kittygrrl.....

But in spring what if there's not a lot of leaves laying about? Would perhaps bushcrafting with a good friend be beneficial as you'd have body heat if not much else to keep you's warm?

I enjoyed this video but you know that was A LOT of work, after that no doubt anyone would sleep like a log, no pun intended!

the work calms you...give's you something constructive to concentrate on, instead of freaking out and getting more lost..it doesn't have to be quite that labor intensive...this is why practicing a few different styles in the fall, really helps

Buying cammo/earthy colored supplies: Being decked out in army surplus and leather might look cool, but is also blends into the woods. As such, it is harder to find/easier to lose. Also, if you get into trouble it’s nice to have bright colors that make it easier to find you.

So don't worry if that bright orange makes your butt look a bit bigger, in an emergency it can save your ass and that's all that really counts!

Dear Folk; I just want to jump in here and say the Ticks are back! Start the Frontline flea treatments for your pets, wear a hat or bandana, long-sleeve shirts, underwear, socks, pants, and always put your pants in your socks in the bush.
