4 year old Siberian girl

[Yorkshire Boy]

A 4 year old Siberian girl walked 5 miles in -34C to get help for her grandmother. She took a box of matches in case she needed to light a fire. Sadly her grandmother died before help got to her.

One group that does surprisingly well in outdoor survival situations is young children. Read the book "Deep Survival"

You guys should read,"Shadows on the Koyukuk" about Sidney Huntington. It's a good read.

This time the little match girl lived. That's heartening.

Very young children live in the moment. When tired they sleep. When they hear a strange sound they hide . . etc.
Most importantly, they don't waste time & energy on " I shoulda, woulda, coulda . . . "

Indigenous and acclimated to the region doesn't hurt, but still impressive.
