I believe that hunting magazines should have more articles or even a column every edition devoted to wilderness survival. Who else has more of a chance of running into trouble in the woods than a hunter?
Especially in this day and age, where most hunters are at most two week woodsman. They get their rifle tag and have two weeks to get their venison for the year. They never set foot in the woods or even check their gear more than a few days prior to the season opener.
Some of us live for the outdoors and may spend as much as 60-90 days a year just hunting. I for one, am one of these people and usually hunt alone, as I mostly bowhunt. I understand the dangers involved hunting alone and the possibility of an emergency. But how many people NEVER think about it, until it is too late?
What is your opinion?

You use what you have on you, then you improvise!
