Here’s a blog report from a guy who decided to go and rough it in the Alaska Bush when he was 18. And unprepared. Hard to believe he made it. There’s a famous movie/book about a somewhat similar kid who didn’t…
I’ve bumped into this report a few times now so finally thought to pass the word along:

(This blog has tons of other info on Preparedness, if you’re into that. Seems smart to at least cover your basics and make a rough plan. Start with “What if I/we get stranded in our car or see someone else who’s in a jam?” then move on to “What if I/we have a fire?” then move on to. “What’ll I/we do if power goes out for a week…” thence onward.)
