I would have to unfortunately agree. Most Americans don't know how to survive alone, somewhere, if
they were to be stranded. I don't even know, I would probably just die right off the bat. |

Us Americans are spoiled with electricity, food, and just things that sit in the palm of our hands.
Some, yes. But some, no. |

We have moved away from nature. We don't have many survival skills such as a sharp instinct and
memory. |

Most people in the Western world don't, it's not just the Americans.
I've watched Ray Mears as much as I can for years now, I'd hope that'd help me a bit. |

Personally , i love the taste of wild game, I know some great remote places with plenty of fresh
glacial water, heck there's trees ther big enough to have a 1 room cabin inside of. Don't think I
would mind at all. |

Someone who has no survival skills is by definition a dead person.
Know how to talk to a cop? Handle your taxes? Get to the doctor? Find a supermarket? All survival
skills. |

I don't think we have lost our survival skills, (wilderness skills maybe) but we have adapted to
change. Our survival skills today are knowing not to go into central park after dark, or crossing
the street without looking first, if our situations change again, and we lose electricity for
example, we would adapt. The skills are still there. If this happened all at once like a nuclear
event, there would be a period of chaos, then we would adapt. |
