Yah wilderness survival is one thing. Try living under bridges and behind buildings for 7 years. That builds character too.
No doubt!

You may get a kick out of this considering you recent brush with the void. Highly underrated and filled with the type of life you live and one mans wherewithal to deal with it. I am jealous. This is one of my favorite movies and you live it.

Let me bring out the ATS in me..... any Big Foot prints up there that you might have ran into?
Whenever we came across tracks that we were not sure about, or were even tracks of the rarer species, we photographed, measured and documented them thoroughly. In the evening we would get together and figure out what they were.

That's a great compliment, thanks!
Admittedly I had to check myself a little bit a couple of times while I was tracking after dark. When you move your headlamp sometimes it creates a shadow at the edge of your vision that looks like movement or sometimes your movement through the bush makes a sound that seems like it came from something else. When that happens it gets you thinking about how little you can see in the dark and how slow you move compared to everything else out there. But before that starts to build up you really have to remind yourself that there really is nothing dangerous out there. I remind myself about all of the old trappers and other people that have spent there entire life alone in the bush without coming across the "boogie man".
Anything can cause a panic out there, losing your whereabouts is a big one, thinking no one will come for you is another. One of the biggest components to successful survival in my opinion is having the mental tools to keep panic at bay.

I was wondering if you could run down the list of critter tracks you have encountered in your treks. Adding up all the variety would you say there is a healthy population? Or scant few? Are there active packs like wolves or wolverines? How about Caribou? Bear? Do you only trek in the winter or all year around? What kind of vegetation do any herbavor's eat? How do you track the birds, if any? Do you find kills with tracks leading away from that?
Sorry for all the questions, just you got my inquizattenna up.

my weapons and camping gear are like my babies and I make sure I strap them on really tight and Im constantly checking them when walking.
For instance Wolf direct translat. This means that the rest of the Wolves step in the tracks of the lead Wolf so exactly that it is impossible to know how many were there.
