What 'parasites' are you referring to, exactly ? By the time water boils (100degC), it's already had time to kill any pathogens. 85 degC does the trick so, even at altitude, boiling for any length of time just wastes fuel. Boiling/distilling supersedes all chemical purification ('filtering', drops) and is second only to reverse osmosis for purification.

I've lived in population-dense urban and suburban areas for most of my life, but unlike the kids I grew up with, I had exposure to rural life too. I got to spend all of my childhood summers with my dad up in the Adirondack Mountains. I got to do a lot of camping - not hardcore survival camping like this - but I learned the basics about foraging and fishing and starting fires. Back then, I probably would have been able to survive if I got lost in the wilderness .... at least if it happened during the warmer months. (If I got lost in the winter, or if a bear took a chunk out of my thigh. I would have been screwed.) The locals knew all about the plants and wildlife around them and they were very generous with their knowledge. Those mountain folks were some of the hardiest, most resourcful people I ever came across. I didn't have the stomach to accompany them on any hunts, but they had me catching and cleaning bass and perch like a pro. I haven't done any mountain living in decades. It would definitely take a little time to readjust to pulling out fish guts, but I would really like to get reacquainted with nature. There's a small patch of woods and a stream within walking distance of my house. If the zombie apocalypse wiped out the food supply, I might be able to find enough fiddleheads and frogs (as a last resort) to get by. I really don't think I could bring myself to kill Bambi or Thumper though.

fishing is always a testament for patience

If i'm ever stuck in the wild, i have saved this video so that i can pull up you-tube on my iPad and get these steps.

I remember years ago, learning how to create a rope like that from thax. A weed, an old craftsman showed me that at hunting camp. Good times, p.s. my friend put together a survival library - working on it like 11or 12 years. He sent it to me before doing his homestead full time off the grid. Happy to get it to anyone who wants access.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but whilst ptaquiloside (the carcinogenic component of bracken fern) is sensitive to heat, it is far more stable to heat when it's still bound up in the matrix of the plant itself. Secondly, ptaquiloside likely isn't the only carcinogenic compound in bracken. I really, really, would not recommend you ever consume bracken fern again, for your own sake.

Hey Joshua, Yeah it always seems to be a grey area where some people say that anything harmful burns off and then some say dont eat them no matter what. Ive done a fair amount of research and feel that its safe to do on occasion. Which other compounds besides ptaquilosides have you found to be harmful and not volatile to heat. I genuinely would be into reading and research you have done that suggest that heat doesnt render them near harmless. If you can send me links Id be thrilled to read what you have. honest-food.net/2016/04/28/bracken-fern-edible/

I'm slowly adding up a lot of really good info i never had any idea of before, shit i didnt even know you could eat bone marrow or cook down bones to get more nutrients, eat fish heads etc when I started!!! All the info matters.. Dont forget in all this to focus as much as you can on local area survival too- you can reduce the amount of information you need to memorize and get great tips. Now I know how to clean poison puffer fish, use saw palms for tinder, load a rifle, can foods, forage for dandelions, make sea grape preserves, find oysters, avoid dangerous mushrooms and build cob housing!!! This stuff is really quite confidence-building and every new fact adds up to a greater knowledge of the natural world!!

As a former boy scout this is very familiar to me. Except for the fact that I never did a whole week by myself only 4 days. I did however go 10 days in the woods with a group of 8. I believe bushcraft skills is an an art that should not have died out. It's scary how many people don't even know how to do anything without electricity.
