1. Judge Yardage (Without a Rangefinder) One method that’s popular with 3D archery tournament shooters, who must precisely estimate unkown distances, is to break the span down into smaller increments. By practicing to become ultra-proficient at judging 10 yards, for example, they can mentally measure the full distance 10 yards at a time, adding or subtracting up to 5 yards for in-between ranges. It works for gun hunters, too, who can fine-tune their eye to say 50-yard increments in the big woods and 100-yard increments on the prairie. Maybe you have a rangefinder but want to sharpen you skills for those situations when there isn’t time to take a reading of an incoming buck. Okay. While you’re scouting, make a habit of guessing the distance to random objects, such as trees, rocks, stumps, etc. Then use your rangefinder to test your accuracy—which, you’ll find, will quickly improve. –Dave Hurteau 2.

The survivor must remember that the three essentials of survival-- water , food and shelter . After water , man's most urgent requirement is food. Though humans can survive for up to three weeks without food, we probably wouldn't choose to go that long. Because food is not just for the maintaining body function but also for a good mental and emotional state. Most natural environments are filled with a variety of items that can meet our nutritional needs. Common and Abundant Plant Food Sources in North America: Cattails Cattails are known as the “supermarket of the swamp”, as no matter which season it is, there are always edible parts available on the cattail plant. The roots, shoots, and pollen heads can be eaten. Conifers: The inner bark of conifers, known as the cambium layer, is full of sugars, starches and calories. It can be eaten on most evergreen, cone-bearing trees [except for the yew, identified by its red berries, in which all parts are poisonous]...
