You break an ankle jumping out of a plane or get your chute hung on a tree, you're done. I'd rob a bank before trying that crap.
I am forest, river, mountain, and beach experienced...plus the water survival. I might have trouble in a swamp or desert
unless I remember what I read in a Field Manual - Survival, Evasion, and Escape - issued by the DOD in the 60's!
BSA learning over the years is helpful as well.
Did you ever see a series of books called "Woodsmoke"? They are simple, enlightening, and interesting.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
