Let’s face it, not everyone who loves adventuring in the outdoors is built for it. City folks are probably not too well read on survival skills, unless that’s what they enjoy doing in their spare time. While even we probably couldn’t easily start a fire using sticks and determination, we do have a few tricks up our sleeve.

Being able to start a fire, create shelter, or navigate your way in the outdoors could very well mean you get to live to see another day in gridlock traffic. But what if you haven’t brushed up on your mountain man skills? Don’t worry, we’ve got some shortcuts for you. Believe it or not, these methods really work, and you can prove to your outdoorsy friends that yes, you do need to take your cell phone into the woods!
