By going into the wild and applying survival techniques that you have studied in books, videos, or in groups, you can better know how you will prevail in a survival situation. One of the key elements in many survival situations is the lack of detection. Not being found in less you want to be found is a very important survival skill. Learning to apply stealth techniques to your survival skills that you already have will be beneficial to anybody. One way that you are found by both man and animal alike is by scent. Things such as lighting a fire will draw attention to you. The fire is a necessity in survival, but it can also be your doom, bringing unwanted visitors to your location. A combination of camouflage and stealth techniques will help to ensure that you are much harder to find when you don't want to be found.
