Survival should be taught as an elective class in some schools, I think it would be interesting to go on trips into a forest and learn to survive properly.

Nor do I think they know how to properly cook meat without burning it or leaving parts cooked halfway. Nor do I think they know how important keeping your food inside your home can attract predators.
However, they do know how to make good s'mores.

kyubii (09/05/2015) [-] Right, an elective Survival 101 course would be quite useful.
But in this modern age of electronic conveniences and ultrasafe environments, nobody would be willing to push the boundaries and include that in a normal school.
Hell, and most groups tied in with schools are directly against things like that. PETA would have a field day with it, and Soccer Moms would explode knowing their 'baybays' were handling a weapon deadlier than a plastic spork outside their protective hug bubbles.

I was a scout leader for a year.
I'm a registered trapper, have lived out in the bush (off and on) since I was 2, and learned the hard way what it takes to survive.
After a year I left the scouts because they wouldn't let me teach the kids how to make the most useful kinds of fire (they got pissed when I did it anyway, we were building fired in a nearby park during a blizzard) , wouldn't let me pack a machette (I find them invaluable), wouldn't let me teach the kids how to build shelters with materials in the area, and wouldn't let me bring a shotgun (kids+ food + bears... not good)
A lot of people say "when **** hits the fan, I'm coming to live with you" but what incentive is there for the provider? The same people wouldn't let me teach their kids the skills it would take.

It was pretty much just an evening/weekend daycare.
I have dealt with bears a LOT, if it's just me a shotgun isn't mandatory but with kids especially kids with bad food habits , yeah... I want 5 slugs if a bear wants to get serious.
I also wanted to teach the kids how to shoot the shotgun (education is always the best safety) but holy **** , you would have though I was William Telling one of their little people.
After a year I left to a sigh of relief.

kyubii (09/06/2015) [-] **** sucks man, you just can't teach those who aren't willing to learn I suppose.
I've always wanted to hunt bear. curious what they taste like.
I couldn't agree more, it baffles me how people believe learning firearm safety is more dangerous than leaving them with fear for the rest of their lives.

Bear is a lot like pig. Cleaner taste though... Actually bear fat is about the best for cooking. I found bear hunting boring as **** . Go hiking, bring a rifle for if you see one. You'll have more fun.
The problem was; The kids were great, they wanted to learn and as long as it was ME asking were willing to work hard.
The parents were mostly okay but it was the ******* scouts organization that was the issue. I couldn't harm a poor wittle twee to make a shelter because scouts is against that. I couldn't teach the kids how to make deadfall traps or set snares because scouts is against that. I couldn't teach them how to make several types of fires, how to shoot, how to friggin' survive! Because scouts is against that.
Honestly, if you have a broken leg and you're gonna die? I'm not against lighting the damn forest on fire (downwind). You'll have all the help you could ask for in an hour.
I had 11 year old girls dragging firewood twice their weight, they loved the sense of accomplishment (and praise from a strong male role model).
The kids all had a blast and if they got lazy I'd sometimes give them a verbal kick in the ass.
The kids lose out because the organization is fundamentally flawed (and most of the top people were very strange... Like pedo strange).

almightysausage (09/06/2015) [-] A little late, but the old boy scouts was survival 101. The boy scouts today is comprised of kids bringing the best tent and their handhelds. My dad was actually the scout leader for our troop and he would insist we do things the right way, we would go to Canada and was not allowed to bring fancy tents and so forth, we learned how to trap and bow hunt.
Our troop died though because kids would go to the troop from the next town because parents thought it was too dangerous for their kids and the kids never truly embraced what we were really learning and would not be able to handle it. our local "camp" you are not allowed to make fires unless in a designated fire area and the camp counselors would ride around on golf carts, its horrible. That is why we could go to Canada or go down south because there are some nice camps that don't hold your hand the whole time you are there, they just throw you in a designated camp area deep in the woods and let us do our thing.

Eagle Scout here, every boy scout troop is a bit different in their activites. Some troops focus on just grinding merit badges, which results in little real wilderness know-how. Others focus on recreational outdoor activities and still others focus on modern-world skills such leadership, public speaking, business, and politics. A focus on this sort of from-scratch pioneering is rare, but I'm sure some troops do it. Troop activities mostly depend on what the kids want out of the program.

Ondols are great but they can be dangerous if they aren't built right. My mother (from south korea) lost her father because their floor had a crack, which leaked carbon monoxide from the ondol into the rooms.
In theory, they are great, and in practice, they are effective. But in the case of defect, the consequences can be lethal

This is truly how things are done.
There is something powerful about being the master of your own world. At it's mercy, true, but if you are clever enough, you can conquer it.
I wonder how long it would take a single person to reinvent modern technology in a completely natural environment. Assuming that they have the knowledge, of course...

catdownstairz ONLINE (09/05/2015) [-] With basic knowledge i dont think it would be hard. I think maybe 200 years, given that we had all the knowledge of how thinks work that we currently do, like I know how a rotary engine works and i would imagine a small community working towards a goal like that would be able to achieve it

dudemiesterman (09/05/2015) [-] Although this guy takes survival to a whole new level, some of what he does in the video are skills everyone should learn. He uses dirt, water, rocks, trees/sticks, and ashes to create a place he could survive for over a year with little upkeep.
