Also been thinking about buying a one man tent. Go for a bike ride somewhere, and do an overnighter.

There is a link to the discussion about it. One topic jumped out at me, navigation.

Someone from work, who lives way out in the desert, had a visitor over the weekend.

Ha! We heard that one today, plus a bit of line dancing, roll over it with the forklift, feed it to the 'possums... 
The jury is still deliberating...
Good list. Liking the navigation idea - daytime/nighttime skills, map reading, natural navigation. Maybe even nautical skills if anyone has some experience. Lots to cover.

I'd prefer the emperor scorpion myself, but getting one is so much work.

Do I need to give a clinic? Because that sounds like work.

We love land navigation. Map/Compass is always with us, but we're learning terrain association by topographical map now. Much quicker and you don't need to be as accurate on the compass, just general N,S,E, or W.

My wife bought me tyvex topo maps of the areas I hike/climb the declination lines are already on the maps. Thin red lines. Makes orientation a breeze while on the move and the tyvex is just about indestructible. I'm not sure if i would use them to call in a Redleg fire mission but they are accurate.

I’d be most interested in these:
-Cordage and knots
-Water purification
-navigation/orienteering
-Urban survival
I remember we did an urban survival contest once before and it really made me think about about certain situations that I never gave much thought to before. I enjoyed that one.
The other 3 topics I could definitely use some schooling on and would love to see all the info that the members here come up with.
