Knowledge Weighs Nothing

There are some fundamental survival skills everyone should know how to do but which many of us have never tried or even cared about. Do you know how to:

You need to provide 1 gallon of water (3.7 liters) per person per day for you and each of your family members if you don't have access to clean water or a faucet.

Fortunately there is a great deal of information available to US citizens for free from many accredited organizations and institutions around the country. Most municipalities have some manner of boating safety and training courses and certification available.
