If you need help with the water boarding!!!

I agree with 3D,, keep it simple,, shelter, fire, water.. SURVIVAL..

Not sure who would ask for an E&E?? The mind set need to run E&E is not something I would want an 10-16 yo thinking. In fact the E&E mind set is the opposite of the traditional survival skills taught to Scouts.

Additionally,, Most Scout programs lead to Merit Badges. Does the person asking have one in mind??

10 yo running an E&E lane???

E&E
  • covering 40 miles, fast and at night
  • Leave no trail or sign for trackers, intersperse punji stakes as available
  • Eating live snakes,, do you save the skin for a garrote?
  • no fires, unless you are burning enemy bodies
  • leave no trace,, carry that F18 ejection seat out with you
  • quickly navigate to the closest safe house with-in 300 miles

Survival
  • Create an earth friendly shelter and wait for recovery
  • Create fire for warmth and signaling, preferably with renewable & sustainable resources
  • Find & maintain a water source
  • Don't drink the yellow snow
  • WII & Twitter reception above the tree line
  • build an environmentally safe solar still from your copy of the WSJ

You start teaching E&E to kids and the lawyers may partake of your wallet and glutinous maxi mus...
