Great evasion training with some awesome guys out at Bone Valley Ranch today. Improvised cat paws out of palm fronds to cover our boot tracks.

Just made a short "intro to survival concepts" video for a home school group. After watching it we jumped on a video call with Krista Phelps and her whole class to answer some questions live. What a fun time and great group of smart fun students.

Basic Survival medicine points, what to do if lost in wilderness, survival food and water basics.
