We're at McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

So winter is coming.

And if you like to be in the outdoors during the wintertime, especially, one thing you need

to start thinking about is what would you do if for some reason you're stuck out in the

wild with nothing but your wits, right?

Just whatever the clothes on you and the knowledge in your head, would you be able to survive

the harshness of the cold?

Because a lot of survival books, they focus on these great survival skills, but they kind

of gloss over what you do when it's snowy, wet, and cold.

Well my guest today has written a book about wilderness survival, but specifically survival

during the winter.

His name is Dave Hall.

He is the founder of Primitive Pursuits.

It's a youth nature awareness program where they teach primitive skills in over in Cornell,

New York, or over in Ithaca, New York, with Cornell University.

And his latest book is Winter in the Wilderness, a field guide to primitive survival skills.

And today on the podcast, we're discussing what to do or how to survive in the winter,

how to build shelter with snow, how to get water in the snow, how to avoid hypothermia,

how to build fire when all your wood is wet.

A lot of great practical information I think you're going to like this episode, so stay

tuned, winter all the wilderness with Dave Hall.

Dave Hall, welcome to the show.
