Don't wait for a survival situation to bite you in the butt. Prepare for it now! One of the best ways for someone to condition themselves for an event and adopt new principals to be put into action is for them to practice. After all, didn't your grandma always say “Practice makes perfect?” She was right.

Rather than think about how you're going to use your gear, put it to good use and test it out. If you don't think your family would be interested in completing this task with you, that's ok. You can either work on a plan with your friends or you can utilize social sites like MeetUp.com where you can plan out a primitive, outdoor excursion with like-minded people.

Don't sit around waiting for an opportunity to learn. Be a doer!

On page 2 we'll show you exactly what you'll need to prepare for a primitive camping experience and brush up on your survival skills!
