“There are no rules in survival, only guiding principles. Many principles are well-founded and time-tested, but don’t let them impose limits on what you could be capable of if your life were on the line.”

― Thrive: Long-Term Wilderness Survival Guide; Skills, Tips, and Gear for Living on the Land
“Why men come into this big clean country and leave it littered the way they do, I will never know. They claim to love the great outdoors but they don't have respect for it. Beer cans, bottles, and cartons were scattered all over the place. Look at the sharp edges of the mountains in the crisp, clean air, listen to the creek pouring water you can drink over the stones. Then look around and see all this junk. It's enough to turn a man's stomach.”
