They are superbly adapted to their environment, as are most native
peoples.
I have long admired at the abilities of such people as Australian
Aborigines. I long ago adopted a saying of their's "The more you
know, the less you need" as my working motto.
A number of modern men have successfully re-learned and teach these
abilities, men like Larry Dean Olsen, Tom Brown, and Cody Lundin.
Cody teaches desert survival skills to children of the Apache
nation.
You've hit on one of my hobbies, I've got almost every survival
book ever written.
Most valuable survival tip: Don't panic.
If you get lost, look down, chances are you can follow your own
footprints out...
