Ancientskills I am in texas but would like to seriously talk about what you suggested.I am 21 But have been studying survival skills since I was 10 or 11.Like you I have read everything I could on the subject, I have educated myself on ancient farming techniques and shelter building,and hand to hand combat with lances spears and staffs. I too have "safe spots" where me and several people can go, if we needed to bug out,in the surrounding area,with water game timber no caves or anything like that though,but we have swamps and hollows that are easy to dissapear into. If you would p.m. me and we can discuss this further.
