Ever been on a hike admiring the wild flowers, gazing up at the tips of the trees--and suddenly found yourself completely alone and lost? What would happen to you if you couldn't find your way back to safety?

How to survive in the woods for 3 days
I've never been lost for 3 days in the woods before. I have been turned around and dis-oriented for a few minutes back there though. I did spend 14 weeks once back in the boondocks while doing some specialized combat training and a lot of survival skills was taught. This would be some good info to know just in case one was to get lost for a while.

I remember you liked the book by Bill Bryson I recomended to you. A swell read! Next book- "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. Lost in the woods for three days? Let me know what you think after you read this book. I would love to hear your thoughts on it! Honest.
