Interesting topic, the best kind of survival training in my view is experience over time, when I'm hunting I also look for identifiable plants for eating, do a spot of fishing using different methods, the majority of the time I sleep out in the bush (I don't like huts) I'm a big fan of survival training, I've read a number of good books over the years and take my favourite methods for traps etc and head out in the bush and try them.
I tried joining and wasn't allowed to because I'm not a citizen here yet :( Can't be deployed =/ Gonna try again next year ^^Quote:

Just DO NOT go alone! You won't become bear grylls overnight! - Even though he apparently sleeps in hotels and has a whole crew with him when he does his shows :P Just make sure you know what plants and wildlife (including insects) are safe to eat and handle.
I did a solo trip right up the Poulter river valley for a week in spring, I was stuffing myself silly with Canada goose eggs (boiled em) everyday, and shot 4 geese which was enough meat as well for the week, I didn't eat a single bit of my own food, in some areas at the right time of year you could be in danger of gaining weight not starving. I'll have a hunt for the photos on the hard drive.
