"Wild Bill" Moreland AKA "The Idaho wildman", survived 13 years, in the wilderness of Idaho, with very little in the way of equipment. When apprehended by the authorities, his gear consisted of, A canvas tarp with rope sewn to the ends, a wool blanket, the clothes on his back, a coffee pot, skillet ,flint & steel, pocketknife, and some hooks & line that he scavenged from rivers and streams.
He was known to used fire-tower phone wires to snare deer. The gear he possessed was stolen from cabins and hunting camps. He found a single shot .22 rifle and a box of ammo in a cabin he raided. over his last 2 years in the wilds, he fired only 24 rounds, taking one deer with each round. He said that he aimed for the head, and was always able to stalk within a few yards of the deer before firing.
I know for a fact that none of the current world survival "Experts" has never lived for any length of time off grid. And when they do they usually have a whole truck load of gear to help them along. I seriously doubt that any of the manufactured "experts" in wilderness survival could survive anywhere except on youtube or TV.the ends, a wool blanket, the clothes on his back, a coffee pot, skillet ,flint & steel, pocketknife, and some hooks & line that he scavenged from rivers and streams.
