"This we know: the earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is only a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. The end of living and the beginning of survival."
Chief Red Cloud - 1894

The purpose of these pages is to provide information to visitors and to help interested individuals to help themselves when they find themselves in a wilderness environment.

The only way to cover your back is to assess all possible risks and prepare for them. The following pages have been written to help groups and individuals to fend for themselves when they find themselves out of touch with civilisation.
