An Outdoor Life Style

We spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it's hunting, fishing, gathering wild eatable, cutting firewood or just working on our home. It's the simple things that give us the most enjoyment. It's great to get that big buck or catch your limit, but it's not always about that. It's about being outdoors relaxing, getting away from the everyday stresses of life and we are blessed here in Greene County to have many opportunities to get outdoors.

Several hunting seasons have been going on deer, duck & goose, quail, rabbit, squirrel to mention a few.

The weather this fall has been unusually mild and some fishing has been going on.

Gathering fall wild eatables has been good this year for persimmons, hickory nuts, walnuts if you know where to look.

Every year people are lost in the woods whether they are hunters trailing a wounded deer or a hiker not paying attention to their surroundings or a boater / canoeist overturning in a lake, river or stream and darkness overtakes them. Many are not prepared to spend a very uncomfortable night out in the wilds or worse, hypothermia or even death from exposure.

As sportsman or women would you have the skills, tools and equipment to build a fire, drink safe clean purified water, build a survival shelter in short survive the night or until help arrives?
