survival starting time

As soon as the crickets start chirping I will start on the survival challenge

details of survival

    I feel that i need to give a little more info concerning my survival challenge. First off Im going to be using  basic survival tools. The main survival tool is gonna be my survival knowledge. I reckon that its gonna be pretty risky because of the copper-heads that prowl the land. But fear not. I have a secret weapon of  how to keep them  (and mosquitos) at bay. The key to my survival is going to hinge on a piece of tin foil. Which may not good to some but I intend not to act like a marshmellow

By the way i feel the need the clarify about the wood pecker post i meant that the berries where poisonus to humans and not birds.  

by the way i saw a pileated wood-pecker at the top of holly tree munching holly berrys. as i recall the berrys are poisonus

to whom it may concern

the name of the falls we saw at the blue ridge is dark hallow falls

camp tip

one way to protect yourself from snakes and creepy- crawlys. is to sprinkle holly leaves around your camp in a circle like fashion

coming soon my one day survival challenge in primitive conditions

hi im joshua and recently ive been hiking in the blue ridge mountains. and right now im going to tell you all about it. first off when we started we where driving through familiar territory. but as we got into the foot hills I noticed that things were getting much less suburban . and more local. and the area was getting more like mountain foot hills. we stopped to get some apple butter from a local farm. we got moving again soon the foot hills turned into the base of the mountain. we drove up the mountain. Small heights turned into amazing sights. at one point we got out and took pictures and we got on our way as we drove we saw more and more breath taking sights. this was repeated many times until finally we got to our trail. now the prep was pretty fast and we were on the trail. now I was probably the most prepared (partly because I looked forward to it most). but not to brag we got under way. We started right by a small stream. pretty soon it grew into a river and as we progressed there were pools of water and in that water ( much to my amazement) was fish!. Not only that but they were very close for they were much tamer than wild lake fish that im used to. now these fish were I believe were brown river salmon. By now We were taking frequent breaks for water and rest. by Now we were very tired the older folks decided to stay behind and meet back at the parking lot. me and others pressed on to see the water fall. the water fall was very breath taking it was around 50 ft high. we started back and found the older folk still resting. so we joined up and headed for the parking lot. on our way we saw a deer at most 17 feet away I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe it. it dawned on me that animals here in the parks were very used to humans. we got to the parking lot and went home. We got home around five o clock.
