There's no reason why young people (children & teens) shouldn't become familiar with
bush skills and wilderness survival skills. Children have an
innate sense of fun, and wilderness survival skills are indeed
fun! There are many advantages of training young people in
wilderness survival skills:
- They are less likely to become lost while in the wild
areas.
- If they do become lost, they are much more likely to
survive the experience.
- Knowing the skills, and spending time out in the bush
practicing them gives them a greatly enhanced appreciation
of the natural world.
- Increased self-confidence from knowing they can take
care of themselves.
- It's fun, and so they are doing something that makes
them happy.
- It's a great way to spend time with your kids.
