I lived in the wilds on the SD/WY border for a week, in a pair of shorts. I only brought a knife, a portable Berkey water purifier, Tango Papa, and a bow drill with a friction chord. I built a shelter out of fallen trees and covered it with pine limbs. Never rained, so I never got to see how well it would have kept me dry. I hunted with sharpened sticks and managed to kill a squirrel on my third day and two rabbits; one on the fourth day and one one on my last day. No luck spearing any fish. Gathered some sage for purification/cooking and some chokecherries. I'd walk/sprint for miles up and the Black Hills (using stealth to avoid Rangers/tourists and I did stalk a few!), through valleys, crossed and swam in streams and climbed trees. I spent a lot of time gathering wood and picking off ticks. I saw grizzly, elk, mule deer, mountain lion, eagles and hawks among many others. I did it for only one reason....I simply wanted to experience a Human....BEING.
