RE: Essential Bushcraft Skills
The ability to keep things dry is right up there on my list... I've opened waterproof rucksacks to find everything's wet, had rain get under map covers, had water bottles leak and when I have changed into dry gear, managed to put a hole in the pastic bag I put the wet clothing in, making everything in my pack damp!!
I am in the process of formulating a routine whereby I split my supplies between several containers. And Include a separately packaged, small emergency kit in each so that if A leak does develop anywhere, only a fraction of my gear gets soaked and it takes several simultaneous leaks to moisten my emergency supplies.
Failure to prepare mentally, is preparing to fail totally.
