The wife and I watched some sort of Alaskan survival show last night where 6 or 7 dudes are dropped off and they have to navigate 50 miles in 72 hours to an LZ to get picked up. They were talking about how they DID NOT have GPS or any other tech gear, just a map, some matches, some tarps (but NO tents), a bow and arrow, rice, beans, .......I think we were supposed to be impressed at how bad they had it. When my head turned to look at my wife (with my jaw dropped and eyebrows crinkled), she was already smiling at me. I didn't have to say anything (she knew what I was going to say).... BUT I DID. After I spent several minutes going off about how well those guys had it, she said something like, "Yeah I know". She's heard it all before--especially after SERE school.
Sinjefe--I do believe we are old school. And when those GPS and survival tablets quit working, these new age survivalist will wish they were too. LMAO...
