RE: Basic skills and confidence

in Outdoors and more2 months ago

The basic skills of living in nature, without the luxury of the homes we lived in, we acquired as children and young people playing and staying in nature.
We made shelters in the forest, lit and warmed ourselves on the campfire, drank water from the spring, slept under the clear sky. and all through the game.
I guess that's how you gain experience for a lifetime.
I didn't have the opportunity to stay in war and hostile environments, but I manage very well in nature, far from civilization.

Sort:  

Kids these days don't often get those opportunities because they have their faces planted in a screen but yep, that's where it all starts; it did for me too. Loved it and love it still.

Born before 1980 🙂
Before the internet era.

Video games back then were on devices weighing hundreds of kilograms, we didn't have them on mobile phones like today, these new kids...

Yeah, me too (fortunately).
