happen to be ignorant in the field of survival, especially considering that, if we’re lucky, there will be remains of civilization left when those accepted into the bunker are released and walk the possibly ruined ground. As for the ways in which I am acquainted with the ways of survival, the major one seems to be that I know how to purify water. Now I know that this is very common knowledge, but it’s good to mention so that there is no sneaking suspicion that I don’t know how. I also know how to create odd little traps and knots to bind things together, which is yet again common knowledge. Still, I’m fairly confident that I know more knots than the average person, who most likely only know the shoelace knot, square knot, slip knot, and bowline knot. I, however, know things like the thieve’s knot, barrel hitch, butterfly knot, figure eight, and a girth hitch. Knots aren’t all though. I’ve participated in a plethora of shooting events, including guns and bows. I seem to be more adept at wielding a bow though, despite the gun being seemingly more simple. I happen to have my own compound bow as well, which I have been practicing with since I was 13. Doesn’t seem like a long time, but I have practiced with compound bows in the past, just not the ones with the same design and draw weight as the one I currently use with a draw weight of 50 lbs. I have more talents, I’m sure of that, but I just haven’t discovered them yet. And like any human, I have flaws. If one thing is for…

Congratulations on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout! You may not realize it now, but you will learn that this is an accomplishment of lasting value. Indeed, I am now over the age of 50, when I reflect back, I see that being an Eagle Scout is one of the few things from my youth that continues to benefit me today – and at first glance I must admit that this seems rather strange. However, upon deeper reflection I think that I understand why this is so, and I think you will too. You see, while…

part in my spare time, and it is going to make very great effects on my life. "I dream my painting and I paint my dream.” (Vincent van Gogh) I don't want to regret my decision that I want to do art as my major. I knew it was quite sudden to have this decision after studying in a traditional school for around ten years, but a voice inside my head has screamed loudly ,"Change yourself! Fight for your dreams!" Although it will be tougher to adapt a whole new world outside, I still want to…

Claudia dismembers the white baby doll her family had gotten her for Christmas she does this because she is trying to see what made the white doll so beautiful just like that Shirley Temple cup. It doesn’t take long for Claudia to realize that since white people are the superior race they are considered the standard beauty society. Blonde hair, blue eyes and bowline lips just like Shirley Temple. Within the text it says “To discover what eluded me: the secret of the magic they weaved on others.…

The majority of us have dreams and expectations in life. Some desire a stable job, others a happy family, while others love to travel. My dream is, one day to become an entrepreneur. Mark Twain inspired me very much when he said “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover.” That is exactly what I have been…

difference between a successful person and others is not lack of strength, not lack of knowledge but rather lack of will. In order to succeed your desire should be greater than your failure. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present, live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did do. A…
