About

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have it all together, especially when they’re out there in the wild? They climb mountains so fast, never get tired, sing all night, dance all night, run fastest, stand tall, look pretty in their outdoor gear…the list is endless. But, why can’t people like you push a sit up to save their necks even once?  Well, if you’re still wondering, you’re in for a rude shock because some of the finest outdoor people were not born like that. Overtime, these people acquired the survival skills that enable them to have the most adventure out there.  And rather than lift your arms in resignation, you too can get it. Here is the roadmap that will help you improve your outdoor skills.     Have an open mind    A lot of learning happens when people are open to new ideas and perspectives. In the outdoor adventure environment in particular, an open mind helps a lot. First of all, when you are out in the wild, say with a group, chance are you’ll be under someone who knows more than you. If you’re just beginning, then it’s in order for you to open yourself up to new knowledge, courtesy of these people. Simply put, sit back, watch and learn for new knowledge to unfold.    Don’t be afraid to ask    Asking questions and being asked questions is the perfect way to learn. In an outdoor environment, other adventurers will know a thing or two you don’t know. It could be a new way to light a fire, save water, fight fatigue, anything. If you improve from their outdoors adventure skills, all you have to do is ask them how they do it. You will be amazed at how many people are willing to share information with you. Take advantage of it and learn.    Read, read and keep reading    If you want to hide something from many people, simply put it in a book. Research has shown that many lack general skills for lack of interest in reading. If you want to become good at an outdoor adventure activity or routine, all you have to do is read. A lot of people share their stories of the outdoors and how they survive in books. However, note that this doesn’t mean just reading any book. A good outdoors camping book from a guru would be a good idea. A few Discovery Channel survivor books could also be in order in helping you learn the skills needed to survive out there to experience the adventures in the outdoors.    Try new things    Reading all the books in the wild, or hanging out with the outdoor crazies will not make you a better or skilled outdoor adventure person. The real skills only come when you’re out there in the wild, doing the things that should be done first hand. This means that the dormant learning was your forte, and then you have to change as soon as possible. Start being daring and proactive about the outdoors, do more than you think and your skills will pile. The post Blog 31: How to improve the outdoor skills first appeared on Coastal Camping Rentals.
