Tom Brown (and others of like mind) teaches survival from the viewpoint of the Native Americans, who lived in harmony with (and WITHIN) nature. To the Native Americans, nature was not something to be conquered or overcome...nature was that great storehouse of supplies from which you took what you needed to live, with an "attitude of gratitude". With apologies to Bear Gryllis, I think that old Tom is onto somethin' here....
WOO - I'll PM you later, I'm out of time right now.
