I'm not one of those "outdoorsy" type butches! I don't fish, hunt, or camp..

i just find a neck knife more useful then a folder especially in camp..especially when it's cold or rainy and i'm trying to pull-out a folder to cut paracord, make some tinder, make dinner or anything around camp that needs a knife..i like the access

@homoe

also...fyi..even on a day hike, take a survival kit..expect to get lost or to have an accident.-keep your pack in your car and keep it lighter so you won't be tempted to leave it behind!

Oh I'd say I'm COMPLETELY lost when it comes to this thread........perhaps there is a Bushcraft For Dummies edition I could pick up?

Good luck on the mushroom hunt!

Just make sure while you're attempting to find mushrooms to eat that something BIGGER doesn't come along and tries to eat you......

tips for locating a good campsite-
near portable water
higher ground
(look for)a natural windbreak
(a)level clearing, surrounded by trees on all four sides-for privacy & weather
look up-do not camp under Widow makers-dead tree limbs & dead standing trees
clear site of any sharp rocks or debris that could damage tent
also-don't set up campsite on a game trail for obvious reasons!
