Survival is about being opportunistic; if you see good tinder grab it while you're moving. You never know if you'll see it again.

The chances of lighting a fire with a paper match is slim, but a pyramid tinder bundle maximizes surface area and increases your odds.

Never underestimate hypothermia. The majority of cases happen when it’s 50 degrees https://t.co/SLBDNxX7gK

Survival is a calorie game. If you don't replenish what you expend hunting, its not worth the effort.

You can turn one paper match into two by carefully pulling the match apart from the bottom and slowly splitting all the way

In a winter environment make actions slow and deliberate to minimize perspiration and decrease chances of hypothermia.

A red sky in the morning means a storm is on its way; while a violet sky indicates that the weather should be good that day.

Hypothermia and hyperthermia are the two biggest killers in the bush http://t.co/8ioBuVvrV0

When going into the bush leave your itinerary with someone you can trust so if you're not back at a certain time they will know to look.

If stuck in the cold without a fire; fill your clothes with leaves/debris which will insulate you and keep your core body temp up.

To fire harden a spear, keep it on the fire without burning it until it turns black. The moisture will be gone and it will be more durable.
