Re: Finishing college. Need help planning trip to U.K,
England is only as big as Florida ! I haven't seen a Guide book that sub-divides us! Wales is full of Castles, Mountains and Lakes. Tourists often divide England between the North and South. 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
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. Slowly add larger pieces but keep your fire within clear boundaries like stones. If you take a cell phone take a solar charger or power bank with you and do NOT rely on it for navigation. Take a map ! if...
