With a few finger swipes on a cell phone or clicks of a computer mouse we can see the climate history and forecast of just about anywhere in the world these days. Some software is even touted as hyper-local, down to the minute right where you stand. So why bother learning about cloud types and nature signs? Because hypothermia, exposure, flash flooding, lightning, and high-velocity winds are more than images on a computer screen. They are a few of the most common killers of everyday people who venture outdoors. It’s always wise to always do some preplanning when you head out, but Mother Nature can be finicky. That clear morning with a slight northerly breeze can change with a vengeance whether you are on the golf course, tubing down a lazy creek or hiking a nature trail.

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 5, 2019 12:03


There's a big difference between knowledge and application. In the survival community, this is something that we have to be aware of. Just because you have seen it on TV or read it in a magazine, doesn't mean that you have the capability of doing it. These are skills that you will most likely not be able to master on your first try - even in a non-stressful, non-survival situation. Under duress, it is only going to be that much more difficult to complete. Here's our tip: Take the knowledge that you currently have and transfer that to the application of the task. Then, take the knowledge you got from the application (what went right and what when wrong) and apply it back to the application of the task to make it that much better.
