I was a survival camper - meaning no modern conveniences went into the wilderness with me. Well, I would take a hatchet depending on how long I could stay and if I would have enough time to make things for my basic needs. I also am a tracker. I have seen things I have no way of explaining unless all the Indian tribes were right about this subject. http://www.nativevillage.org/Messag...names_so.htmThese tribes lived in the outdoors as comfortably as we live in our man made surroundings. We are so far removed from actually knowing the wilderness (its far from just not taxonomy) that most people cannot even build a simple fire if they don't have matches and gasoline. Its just the way we live. Another couple instances in my life have also made me think the subject over. I have personally seen, twice, what the Cree Indians said they call "snakes." Our boat was 16 feet long and the "snake," swimming along the top of the water was at least double that - no problem. being only about 30-40 feet away I had a good look at it as it swam in front of the boat. It was jet black along its length with a ~2 foot, circular (flat-ish on top) head. Its body was moving serpentine along its length on the water. As we got closer, it went under and resurfaced, a lot further away, after a few minutes. My DDD said he had seen a number of them over the years. He had been making an annual fishing trip every year since the late 50s. He said he was just as surprised at the first one he saw years ago, but to the local Cree the "snakes" were no big deal and just another part of nature. I saw another a few years later on same Lake.
