Thread: Lost in the bush

1st trip into the sth opuha many years ago...climbed up high,managed to shoot my first two thar (young bulls) we skinned them and removed meat,map said we werent too far above the hut so we headed down.....and down...and down...we hit the creek at about the same time the sun went out...now what??? turned around and saw a nice rock overhang so got a fire going and spent the night...
a couple of years later when heading back into the hut looking back we actually werent far from it we had just strayed a wee bit too far down stream..3-400 mtrs at most.
not panicing and realising you are going to spent a night out BEFORE it gets dark so you have time to prepare are good skills to have,the survival blanket thing above is more common than you would think...some unfold thiers to find hundreds of 2" squares...ok if you are a mouse I guess.
