You’re Not Bear Grylls

With so many shows on television nowadays depicting men surviving in the wild against all odds, it has created a generation of little boys and teenagers (and some grown men) who want nothing else than to trek off into the wilderness and see if they can “make it.” For obvious reasons, this is not the best idea. The men on TV are usually trained in survival or tactical skills. The average male sitting on the couch watching “Man Versus Wild” is not. But if those men cannot be deterred from their missions into the wilderness, they should at least go well prepared.

For one, they should seriously consider taking any number of Puma pocket knives. Knives are extremely helpful in the wilderness. They can be used to spark flint in order to start a fire, or they can be used to cut ferns or other vegetation to make a roof for your shelter or a makeshift mattress. The list of uses goes on. Stainless steel is a good option because it is durable. It can withstand a lot of abuse and exposure to the elements, and if you ever drag yourself out of the woods alive, you can use it on your next trip!
