Surviving Alaska

I learn from that show ( and I watch it again last week) is when walking or climping have experienced people with you and check your gear every day.

to have a locater beacon on me if I go skiing

the 1/10/1 principle if you fall through ice

so any show I learn something from is a very good show. Very Happy

Very true. Another thing about small facts here and there is you never think about them until you really need them. Like I was making a shelter and my tarp was blowing away. I was very frusterated and I couldnt figure out how to make it stay on. Soon I realized "Button Rocks" worked perfecly. Never really thought about it before but I remmeber Les doing that.

I used button rocks today actually. Very Happy

It was for my kayak kite that didn't go so well. Anyway if I would have cut eyelets I would have ripped the plastic, and the button rocks worked great. Cool
