A question was asked in the hunting section asking whether or not you would be able to survive in the wilderness with just your street clothes and a knife. Everybody said yes but I have my doubts about all the people who said yes. So to satisfy my curiosity I've asked this question to see if people really know what is accepted to be the top key to survival situations.
The question is not vague at all. There is one key factor to survival that every expert I've studied under and read about agrees on.

Attitude.
I wanted to know if people could list the best Wilderness Survival Course they know of located anywhere in the US?
Here are the main things i am looking for in a course.
--Something like 7 days or longer
--A course that will teach you how to make fire with friction/sticks
--How to build a shelter
Thanks and good day.

knife. because its better to hunt with and if you were to have a flint you could make a fire more easily
If I want to learn how to survive in different wilderness situations (ie. jungle, desert, arctic, etc.) much like Bear Grylls, what course to take. I LOVE the out doors and want to learn survival in the wilderness and maybe get a badge or award for it. I have never done anything like this beofre but I love anture and the out doors. Do I have to became a scout or something, where to start?
Thanks!!

Wilderness Survival in Todays World
Today we live in a highly structure world that has traded expedience for simplicity, self-sufficiency and purity. Most Americans jump into their fossil fueled vehicles and drive a great distance to the local grocery store to buy fresh and prepared foods. These foods have been grown using petroleum based pesticides and fertilizers. Additionally, other unnatural preservatives, antibiotics and now genetically engineered organisms have been introduced. We knows very little about living in nature let alone wilderness survival.
The constituents and end products at the grocery and pharmaceutical industries\companies are often shipped great distances in petroleum-fueled cars before reaching the store. This all adds up to excess consumption of energy and terrible environmental damage. Admittedly everyone cannot become a forager, but just as many individuals do their small part by recycling, responsible foraging can also play a vital role in contributing a small part to improving our little planet.
