The interview covered a number of topics but initially I introduced myself, recounted my pursuit of bushcraft and survival skills and how I got started with Survivaltek. There were also practical questions such as “why did you want to teach people how to survive?”, “give us an idea of an emergency situation (and) what things around the house (could) you use to help us survive?” and “If you’re going out camping… what are some basic items that you feel people should take with them?”.

In addition, I was able to mention the classes that I offer which you can view on my classes page. My current plans are to hold classes the third Saturday of the month or by appointment. Those who are interested in taking a class should register ahead of time to guarantee their place in the class with associated materials.

Connectivity is the key. As with all open systems there can be abuse, but there are many safeguards in place. Facebook postings most often provide entertainment, but during times of crisis it can be a life-line. During the Katrina Hurricane and Japan’s recent disaster, Facebook provided vital connections for countless people who were dislocated and separated from family and loved ones. It can also provide links to vital sources of information.

Meanwhile I hope to be able to communicate in a more timely manner my Survivaltek activities to those who share my interests. While on Facebook you can search pages for “survivaltek” – or – from your computer the link is http://www.facebook.com/survivaltek – All “like this” votes are appreciated.
