@TsandLman My dad was a city boy, who learned survival techniques in the 82nd Airborne, including a stint at Camp Hale near Leadville, Colorado. Having learned them, he arranged his life so that he would never need them. He'd regale us with stories and talk about survival skills, but he had zero interest in leaving the comfort of home to go camping with us kids. So even though I've spent a lot of time out camping, fishing and hunting, pretty much everything I know and do is trial-and-error, and the slow accumulation of the right kind of gear, on what started out as a pretty limited budget. But I learned in my 20s that it was worth paying extra - even if it meant waiting a whole year - for equipment that worked and would last many years.

Yeah. I knew an MD who retired while he was still young and fit enough to go back to school, learn some of the math he didn't learn the first time through, and go hiking, skiing and camping. He was living the dream. Then he slid off a high-mountain trail in Colorado, and that was it for him. So sad, to finally be living his dream, enjoying all the years of hard work and dedication, only to perish due to ice on a trail in the spring.

@Llirik13 Women are really the main reason we men get civilized in the first place. Full belly. Roof over the head and 4 walls, even if it's only a canvas tent, and most men can be pretty happy.
