GarryRF ·

The North is often cooler and wetter than further South. But your Dollar will go twice as far up here in the North! And we're much friendlier. Have a look at places you'd like to visit. York (the old one) will keep you busy for 2 days. Train or Bus from Liverpool. Or a day or two in Europe from Liverpool...

Re: How to Survive on your own in the Wild

Amateuremigrant ·
I would elaborate on a few points here. First, learn how to make a fire ! It sounds obvious but I've known plenty of people unable to do it - resinous trees like pine are good - shave small curls of wood off a piece of dead wood, or collect strips of birch bark to wrap around a small branch.

Take a map ! if...
