These are ten common things every prepper should stop believing about wilderness survival!
Many preppers have piles and piles of food, water, different ways to start a fire, and may have even practiced some skills for surviving in the wilderness. However, wilderness situations can be unpredictable because of rain, heat, extreme cold, not being able to find water and many other factors.
That is why everything you think you know about wilderness survival may not be as true as you thought.
You can have all the gear, supplies, weapons, food and water you think you need and something may still go wrong. That is why it is vital that you know what lies many people believe about surviving in the wilderness and what you should do instead.
If you don't believe this to be true you should, because you'll have a much better chance of actually surviving any situation if you are prepared ahead of time and know truth from fiction.

You would be lucky to catch a fish with that giant hook and all that terminal gear and thick fishing line.
I clicked on the video link and all I got was a Walmart commercial.
After going thru 2 hard-to-load pages I never did find the link to the video. This site is a scam – bait and switch to connect you to a bunch of advertising spam so I am going to unfollow.
Big hooks can catch big fish , small hooks can catch small & big fish .
General misconception :- I can run a marathon / swim miles / whatever means I can walk in the wilderness all day wearing a rucksack . Different muscle groups , blisters , changing terrain , no map reading skills etc
Great video
Most people do not plan to fail! They fail to plan. Even worse, they think they are superman and cannot fail! Just because you can swim is not a good reason to jump right into a rain swollen river. Just because you impressed your date at the fair and ‘rang the bell’ is no reason to believe you are able to split cord wood all day. I know it sounds trite, but, survival is no accident. If staying in place is not an option, get your head on straight and if at all possible, team up with a like thinking individual or group that you trust(you must be trustworthy yourself)and hit the wilderness. Never, never forget where you are and what it is you are attempting to accomplish! Most small enterprises fail for two reasons. One is, they have not full knowledge of what they are attempting to do and, undercapitalization. Undercap. can be equated to equipment stockpiled. Increasing your knowledge should be never ending and solicited where ever possible and evaluated. And a good dose of good judgement and common sense makes the whole plan come together. IT IS CERTAINLY MUCH BETTER TO BE PREPARED AND NEVER NEED TO PUT YOUR PLAN IN MOTION THAN TO NEED IT AND STAND THERE SCRATCHING YOUR$#%&!@*WISHING YOU HAD PREPARED. I am still kicking my rear for not buying Google in it’s early days! Lesson learned to be sure.

This video is pretty useless. Unless you’re talking to someone that has no clue what they’re talking about and just talking out of their$#%&!@* you will never hear any of this. None of this stuff even remotely makes sense.
