Women wilderness survival experts?

[deepcheers]

Are there any women survival experts who are considered preeminent in their field?

Karen Hood is the first that comes to mind, but I know there are others.

Nice lady. I origianlly spoke to her to arrange to carry Gene's survival DVD on my website. I've subsequently met her at a couple of sportsmen's shows and really enjoyed talking with her.

Mel Tappan's wife if she is still alive is quite knowledgable.
