Haven’t read article yet, but just looking at the pic makes me cringe. You never cut towards yourself. Always cut away from your body!
my sentiments exactly…
Fire, food, and shelter the rest is luxury. Make and keep fire, find hunt and forage food nutritionally necessary for your environment, and keep out if the weather when necessary to be within the capacity of the human condition.
Like never to draw a knife blade toward your own body?
That’s the first thing I saw too…
Peter, I was about to say the same thing. Many years ago, in haste, I made the same mistake. I almost lost my thumb after cutting halfway through the joint! Suggest they change this picture before someone gets seriously hurt!
Me too
Just what I was thinking!
On a positive note it would give him an opportunity to make sure he has the proper kind of first aid in his kit lol
First of all he should learn how to use a knife properly.
First one is don’t cut toward yourself cut away look at picture and learn !

Looks like the people commenting on this know how to use a knife but the fool in the picture doesn’t. Direct pressure will help till you get to the emergency room.

If he is a survivalist the first thing he will need is medical attention. One does not pull a knife towards oneself. I don’t need his skills or his list.
