What's the best way to make contact with a partner when in the middle of nowhere woth no cell
I don't know much about radio but wanting to have some knowledge incase everything goes to shit, do radios need infrastructure to work? Wanting something handheld with secure lines, does something like this exist?

Friendly reminder to check your gear before you go out
I just checked my kit and my breaklicht leaked all over my kit content with a terible chemical smell.
Please check your kit/gear before going out. Had to replace food/deep clean gear.

What is the best 22lr survival rifle? I would prefer a bolt action, something compact and also packable. Don't want the ruger take down. Just something that's absolutely reliable that can be thrown into a pack to take down rabbits and such in a pinch/for the fun of it. Any suggestions?

If you can only take one bladed tool out into the woods what is it gonna be?
Seems like the Kukri and the Pulaski are the top choices based off the survival shows I watch.

What are the top 5 best survival books?
I wanna read some just in case and then keep them in bags I made for my family.
Not only strictly 'survival' books tho. Foraging books or medical themed specific books would be good too but just books that would aide in survival in general.

Marking the ground when lost is a good idea
Just read this article and old-mate drew arrows on the ground show the direction he was walking in the time he was at that location. It's something simple to do while lost that many wouldn't think of, that would aid searchers greatly. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-23/nullarbor-eyre-bird-observatory-visitor-75-rescued-by-police/102382906

Giant fresnel lens
Hey everyone. I was hoping to get some information and potentially some recommendations for usage of a giant fresnel lens to start fires. Im looking to spend around $100-300 on a quality lens. Im not necessarily interested in a small size, more so a lens that could rapidly achieve very high temperatures. Does anyone know where I could buy a high quality lens? If not, can somebody expand on what specifications I should be looking for? Thanks in advance!

Avoiding illness from food you catch/kill?
I've been watching the show Alone, and over a few seasons it's scary how common/frequent it is for someone to catch a fish, kill a squirrel etc and end up getting ill from it. One guy was sick for a couple days after eating raw fish eggs, but ended up recovering. Another guy ate a squirrel and it destroyed his stomach, he tapped out due to not being able to keep water down for days.
Obviously you want to thoroughly cook whatever you catch, but in the squirrel case that wasn't enough to "purify" the meat for safe consumption. Do you have to basically just roll the dice every time you cook something and hope it will be safe? How do you ensure what you're eating will be safe? I'd be so paranoid of everything I ate being tainted, that I'd be afraid to eat anything I caught in the wild.

Can you hear a cougar stalking you?
I was fishing a wooded lake today when I heard a large animal approaching me. I yelled a few times and each time it moved and then crept closer. Its footsteps were heavy but careful. It sounded so close that if it was a deer or large varmint (something that doesn’t stalk) I would’ve seen it in the brush.
The internet says cougars move silently and the only sounds I can find are their screams.
So CAN you hear a cougar following you in the brush, and what does it sound like? Given the location (cougar sightings are not uncommon), size, and proximity I can’t think of anything else it could have been besides a fox, but from my experience the yelling would’ve driven a fox away instead of drawing it closer.

I weaved a basket and I use it for harvesting my plants.
(I can show how but it’s hard so I’ll probably just share the video I used to learn from)

Survival education games?
Are there any wilderness survival games that teach or simulate with great detail various aspects of survival? For example, not just click a fire and ignite but learning how to make a hand-drill, finding suitable tinder or wax, or learning how to tie a rope to secure a rock to a stick, learning plants and trees and what sort of wood is suitable for tool-making.
I’ve played Green Hell and The Long Dark and wonder if there are games even more realistic. Obviously I can just do it in real life, but learning through a game is more fun and it’s like a simulation for the real thing.

Back garden Survival
Hey I’m thinking about spending 17 mins in my back garden at 4pm tomorrow. What do you guys think I need to survive?
So far I’ve got a comb and some lint in my pocket. I’m thinking of buying a firearm in case I want to shoot birds. The garden may or may not have nettles.

You are either moving forward or backwards and there is no more tangible and direct example of that than watching your food supply shrink or grow: the only clear measure of whether you are truly thriving or just slowly starving.
I knew fishing would be a huge part of the key to unlocking a sustainable path forward while on alone, but it was initially surprisingly difficult to find a shoreline and technique they were into. (It took me weeks to catch my first fish)
But never give up! With the stakes so high, once I finally solved the fishing conundrum it became some of the most fun fishing I’ve had, with days catching multiple monsters on my little bushcraft rod and reel setup: made all the more exciting by the not-so-subtle threat of eventual starvation if you don’t!
I never let my foot off the gas and fished ( and trapped and hunted) every day until ice came in, and then switched to ice fishing! You are either moving forward or backwards and there is no more tangible and direct example of that than watching your food supply shrink or grow: the only clear measure of whether you are truly thriving or just slowly starving.
But fish where a welcome addition to the smorgasbord in the food cache: and I knew as long as that cache was growing I didn’t have to wonder what everyone else was doing, I could just focus on being sustainable myself: then my only concern could be how long would I be away from the family.. through Christmas? 6 months? A year?
