Surviving in the wild, could you do it?

[Fengzi]

hey fengzi

can you start a fire using bow-drill
can you find water in the desert.
have you summited whitney [mountaineers route]
.

Never tried to use a bow drill but have started fires with flint and even a lens off my camera once. Finding water in the desert would be tough. I have a basic idea how to do it but do admit I don't have a lot of desert experience. Like I mentioned earlier, a lot would depend on where I was. As for Whitney, I've never actually tried it. The mountaineers route is well within my limits as a climber though as I have a great deal of experience in technical rock and ice climbing. For about 10 years climbing was the main focus of my life and I had planned on being a Mountain Guide. I even worked in a store that sold backpacking and rock climbing equipment.
