When I was growing up, Mom gave me this advice:
"If you get lost, hug a tree and scream"
I've been watching Man vs Wild, and my mom asked why.
"So I can survive if I get lost," I said.
She laughed, "I'd be hugging a tree and screaming, and you'd be building a signal fire!"
It's kinda gross watching Bear Grylls eat grubs, spiders, scorpions, and various other things... but then I compare it to the people who got lost in the Andes and ate their own friends and family to survive.
Then, its not so bad. Yeah, I probably wouldn't like to eat a spider whole... but I know it's more tolerable than eating someone's brain.
I find it all fascinating, but I'd likely get stuck in the middle of nowhere because of traveling, with out any supplies. Like a parachute, knife, flint, or anything else useful.
In the end, I'd be hugging a tree and screaming too.
He took my last name when we got married. I took on the challenge of motherhood and losing the 80 lbs I gained
If you get lost in the woods and hug a tree and scream that may work, but I dont know if it would work if you were lost in the city. Would you hug a fire hydrant and scream. Maybe hot fireman would help you find your way home
