What do y'all think about getting out for a 1-2 night camping trip where we can mess around with various survival techniques. It would give us the opportunity to both practice things we know and learn from others.

My preference would be near central Alabama, but I'm willing to travel.

I have actually thought about this my self..it could be a good learning experience...I have several ideas in my head but the only way to find out if they really work is to actually try them...better now than when we really need to incase they were to fail

I'm down if we can find a woman. I'm out if it is another dude, LOL.

Muzzie I bet you could teach us a thing or two about building a shelter, making a fire or getting some game.

Walls of Jericho or Sipsey Wilderness are two good areas to consider. Date? Whenever and hopefully I can make it.

It would be ideal to have a place open to some February hunting or trapping and a place with a good water source. Practice survival skills but have the backup right there as well.

February can be cold, but it is after deer season and small game hunting is allowed. Kind of downtime for many of us.

New member from south Alabama. I would be interested in a camping trip in Sipsey. Have been hiking it for about five years. Always a good time and a great place to practice or learn some good skills.

We need to get a date on into February or early March...before turkey season!

In Bankhead Natl Forrest-Black Warrior WMA, up Hwy 33 about 8-10 miles north of Double Springs. Various trail heads to start from so that will change mileage some.

I've hiked a few of the trails over the years. The last one we went on with our Scout troop was The Lookout Trail #203 @ Borden Creek Trailhead. Nice hiking, not too steep. About 2.5 miles to get away from day hiker crowds, plenty of places along the creek that is flat enough to camp with ease.

Hwy 33 North out of Double Springs
Left onto Lawrence Co Road 6 (Cranal Road)
Right onto FS Road 224 (Borden Creek Access Road)
Park at lot at end of road at old bridge. Several trail heads right there.

But there are lots of other great spots too. Here is a website that has maps and trail info.

Squirrel and rabbit season is still in until Feb 28, so if we were to do this we could bring firearms and hunt for our food. Might have a jar of peanut butter as a backup grin

Pick up some good books on wild plants. You would be amazed how many you can eat and use for medical type situations.

Anyone still interested in this? Might need to be later on in March or April.
