    story here

    I call BS on this one. How can a seventeen year old kid with no survival training or outdoor experience survive for five years in the Ore Mountains of Eastern Germany?

    Dunno, but think he could be useful here for the "which tent" and "which knife" questions.

    Good point. I have lived in BC and Alaska in a tent. Non of them have lasted very long let alone for five years.

    The debris hut is a much better option. I lived in one of those for six months and never had a problem.

    Wow!

    I take it you've seen Into the Wild. The whole thing looks fantastic (in a romantic way, from the comfort of my warm couch!), but my wife would wrinkle her nose if I suggested a guesthouse for a night, let alone a tent, let alone an extended spell in debris hut!

    It must have been some experience.
