A common misconception is “I will never get lost” or “I would know how to survive because I watch all the survival shows.” The reality is that Colorado’s backcountry can overwhelm you.

And I learned a number of skills and knowledge that have helped me immensely. For more outdoor survival tips, please see the following:
