Well, another year has gone by. This year the grandkids got copies of "Wildwood Wisdom", an older "do lots of things like Indians" book and those cheap 5 function survival whistle, match container, compass items.

Little by little we get prepared, with the books being the big item this year for the knowledge they can gain. I hope they learn to look at things with an eye toward alternative uses. One can only hope.

For the parents I gave them copies of the "SAS Survival Book". Again, the hope they never need it, but every year I read or see on the news of people stranded on vacation in the mountails or desert or forest with not enough minimal equipment or knowledge to survive.
