Camping, Bushcrafting, Survival Skills. The Rules of Three. These are your survival tools now. There’s No thermostat… No four walls or ceilings. No reset button. Out There, it’s you against the elements, every hour, of every day.

The sun… it’s gonna scorch you. The nights… you’ll Freeze. The wind will cut through your layers to test your limits.

And Rain… Oh… Rain will soak you to your core, cover your skin and gear with damp mold and mildew, and drain your body of its strength with every step and every breath you take.

If you’re not ready… If you don’t respect the monster that is exposure… it will Kill you. And that’s not hype… Not Click-bait. That’s reality. Hard hitting, in your face, but real.

It doesn’t take long for hypothermia to set in when your clothing and skin are wet. Upwards of 2500 people die from Hypothermia each year in the US with wet conditions and the homeless being the contributing factors. If you are bugging out to the woods… my friend, you are homeless. And there are other dangerous risks that are associated with trying to survive in wet conditions.

Weakened Immune Systems, Skin Irritations and Fungal Infections, Respiratory Conditions, and rapid core temperature loss. Your body cools off 25 times faster when wet. And if that wasn’t bad enough… you can actually overheat and have heatstroke if your body is wet, while in a hot humid environment. Who knew?

There’s a reason why we practice the Survival Rules of Three… 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Maximizing and Force-Multiplying your Air, Shelter, Water, and Food is key to your survival in extreme conditions.

3 Hours Without Shelter in extreme weather conditions is meaningful, and important, and should not be overlooked. Our bodies and by extension, our gear, need shelter. Shelter from the heat, the cold, and Yes… the damp and wet.

Tonight, we are going to live and learn vicariously through Jeremy’s own real-world experience of surviving through an extreme wet-condition environment for an uncomfortable extended period of time in the woods of North Carolina.

Consider, How you would do and What you would do, or do differently, if you were in his boots.
