Have you ever wondered what it would be like instead of going camping in a tent and cabin to actually rough it?
To only take matches or even better a flint and steel? String, you will need string. And dental floss? Dental floss is perfect, use it as string and then cover your oral hygiene after eating the fish that you caught with it.
Here are some things that I would make sure to do:
The big three in survival=food, water, shelter
The rule of thumb is that you can survive for three weeks without food, while only three days without water. So make water your priority.
You will need shelter to rough the elements. There are many different styles of constructing or finding shelters. Here are some of the best:
1. Find a nature shelter. Go for the cave. But sing while you enter it so you won't surprise a large four-legged friend.
2. Lean-to is a good and easy one to make, but not as awesome as the former.
3. I really do enjoy building small forts outside, and I've been trying to get to the point I can build a treehouse fort on a survival show. That fort would be the way to go if you happened to have the supplies. So if you are carrying power chord around with you or a lot of fishing line you could make a go at it.
4. Then there is a debris structure. This one makes you feel like you are really safe and living like a furred one.

5. And Just because my mom is crazy about geodesic domes, I have to include this one for those wilderness junkies like myself who would like some architectural flair in their survival zone.
These photos are really good structural examples for survival. My tow favorite are the geodesic and the treehouse.
And just to mention something on survival. Sometimes people think we need to save ourselves from the wolves or the wildfires when we are out in nature. For me survival is escaping from the crazy boo hoo of modernized life. These places are ways to escape the craziness of requirements and no bird song. Happy building.
