In my backyard...

especially with them around..

It's wild enough for survival training, and still not to far from the fridge to get some ice cream if it get too hot...:D
 
I'd like to spend a year in the Badlands. If you can survive there, you can make it anywhere.
Those canyons must lead to incredible places.

With the Aborigines in Arnhemland, Australia.

The Hadza of Tanzania.

The San of Namibia.

The Sami of Lapland.

The Inuit of North America.

These are only a few of the hot and cold places, then there are all the Jungle people to learn from.

It would also be interesting to learn urban survival skills in places like Somalia, Chechnya and Bogotá.

The Badlands would be a great place. I think the Andes Mountains would be incredibly challenging as well as beautiful, always wanted to go there anyway.

I'd also like to spend a few weeks out in the Sandhills right here in Nebraska, but that's not a difficult place to survive, although winter would be a bit difficult.

Almost anywhere in Alaska would be awesome as well. And the Rocky Mountains anywhere from Wyoming on north.
 
I have done the Badlands. Really awesome. They earned their name big time. Food is a challenge.
 
Mars! <-I imagine that would be a pretty severe test.

Actually, ALL of these locations interest me. Fact is, you can "enjoy" a survival training session almost anywhere. Even near home.

That said... there's no reason they couldn't be in an exotic location, right?

One of the hardest for me was in Arizona. The landscape was rugged and photogenic and it was hard to concentrate on what we were doing. Had to stop and take a picture every five freaking minutes...

...and on the last day, the camera opened and exposed all the film. I didn't recover a single photo from that day. :mad:
 
And why wouldn't they be ;), Australia is brilliant, total extremes, snow(during winter) to big deserts, tropical coastal rainforest to tall timbered mountains, I love it and want to see more of it!

I can't speak for the Amazon, but I've read your post on it Bear and it sounds like a must see.
 
I want to do trips into the different areas of Brazil, Pantanal, Sertão, as well as the Amazon. The cool part is that I have friends that live in these places. I also have family in Alaska and I am dying to get back up there. The last time was a hunting trip but the next time I&#8217;d like to do at least a week in the bush. Mac
 
Boreal forests (Scandinavia or Russia), arctic conditions like Antarctica or Svalbard, different african landscapes like Zambia and Namibia.

South America or China
Australia
and back to SE Alaska

Mike, if you need a "wingman" on any of your adventures..I'm in!:D
Canada, NE Russia, North American Deserts..Utah, Arizona..
 
I'm sure that I would like to attempt to survive at a redneck barbecue, in farm country.

My God, farm people know how to barbecue.
 
The ultimate survival test would be in the arctic. But I have no intention of ever going there. ;)

Jungle? Nah. Blechh.

When in college I completed a 21-day desert survival program in Utah. I'd love to do it again. The changes for this time, I'd stay much longer and go solo.

Fantasy survival trip, Death Valley or similar. My hesitation is due to the likelihood that I would not come back... abandoning civilization to live among the wild burros...

Yes, she had waited. She, too, had grown old. She was gray. The winter of that year had been hard. What had she lived on when the snow lay so deep? There were lion scratches on her back, and scars on her legs. She had fought for her life.

"Jenet, a man can never always tell about a burro," said Tappan. "I trained you to hang round camp an' wait till I came back. . . . 'Tappan's burro,' the desert rats used to say. An' they'd laugh when I bragged how you'd stick to me where most men would quit. But brag as I did, I never knew you, Jenet. An' I left you--an' forgot. Jenet, it takes a human bein'--a man--a woman--to be faithless. An' it takes a dog or a horse or a burro to be great. . . . Beasts? I wonder now. . . . Well, old pard, we're goin' down the trail together, an' from this day on Tappan begins to pay his debt."
