From Ferro rods, to
flint and steel, there’s a reason that the woods…
Provides us with such
mass appeal.
From altoid boxes, to
the rule of three, there’s no soda, juice or coffee…
That even comes close... to pine needle tea.
From iodine drops, to steel
Kelly kettles, you have set out to learn…
The medicinal use for stinging
nettles.
From bamboo containers, to navigation needles, you are willing…
To dine... on those wood-eating
beetles.
From magnesium strips, to Punky wood, you’d live in a yurt…
If only you thought that
you could.
From sharp Mora
knives, worn on a belt, one day you plan to learn…
How to make clothes from a pelt.
From stocked fishing
kits, to M.R.E’s, ...who needs a pot roast?
When you have the
outdoors to seize.
Your self-reliance has
led... to stocking both food and supplies…
As you now refuse to
listen ...to anymore lies.
You bought as much gear... as you could afford, from military boots to bags….
To wearable bracelets ...with 30 feet of para-cord.
And, you knew you weren't
a master... as you explored the terrain…
As there is always
more to learn ...like starting fire in rain.
But, all that you know...is that you have never felt more alive...
As you increased your
skill, and learned to survive.
So, you spent all
this money and, you have invested all your time….
As you gained strange
looks... like you had committed a crime.
But, you continued on... to practice bushcraft outside….
And, if the SHTF,
they will all want a free ride.
