HMharrisonmurray Bushcraft/ Primitive and Subsistence Living Homesteading Self Sufficiency Survival Program Helps Forms Police Record Check (PRC) Forms Scouts Canada has the responsibility to ensure the appropriate placement of volunteers who are properly suited to the roles for which they undertake. For this reason all adult volunteers for all positions are required to complete a Police Record Check. As the sponsor, the LDS church endorses and abides by this requirement. Scout Canada has made exemptions in the case of individuals with certain criminal records that are at least seven (7) years old and there was no period of incarceration involved. Please note that the RCMP does not charge for PRC when it is for volunteer purposes; unfortunately the Abbotsford Police Department does charge a $27 fee.

93 Many of you will recall our popular seven-part series on basic survival skills, "At Home in the Wilderness," which appeared in MOTHER NOS. 71 through 77. We're pleased to announce that its creator, outdoor expert Tom Brown Jr. (author of The Tracker, The Search, and Tom Brown's Guide to Wilderness Survival, and director of one of the country's largest tracking and wilderness survival schools), has agreed to resume the series for MOTHER's readers. In the issues to come, Tom will strive to provide us all with a deeper, more intimate understanding of nature and the art of survival. Survival training involves far more than just learning the skills necessary to endure hardship. Sadly, the conveniences our civilization has devised have separated most of us from nature. This is not only regrettable, but also dangerous. Granted, you may never be faced with a life-or-death situation. Keep a cool head. Finding Water: Usually, water is easy to locate in the wild. Awareness is the key.

79 When you're caught in a bind -- or at the end of your rope -- this skill could come in handy. MAKING NATURAL CORDAGE Tom Brown Jr. and Brandt Morgan Tom Brown, Jr. -- whose "At Home in the Wilderness" articles ran in MOTHER NOS. 71-77 -- isn't a stranger to most of our readers. And although, Tom concluded his series two issues back, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to add to that body of woodlore by running this article … which should be as valuable to folks involved in the various forms of string art as it certainly will be to those concerned with learning the skills necessary to get along in the wilds. Cordage -- that is, thread, string, or rope – is all but indispensable in a survival situation. Just about any strong, flexibie fiber can be used to produce good cordage. The dried inner skin of the stalks of fibrous plants will also serve your purpose, as will fibrous leaves and even dried grasses (again, see the accompanying list).

77 Tom Brown, Jr. with Brandt Morgan Tracking is an age-old art . . . and one that's been pretty much forgotten in modern times. The finely honed skills that native Americans once used to sustain and protect themselves have been — in the eyes of many people — rendered unnecessary by supermarkets and government-provided security. However, the ground still has a wealth of stories to tell those who'll take the time to learn to read it. Of course, as is the case with almost any avocation, it takes years of dedication and practice to become an expert tracker . . . but anyone can become more sensitive to the flow of animal life by simply learning to recognize the basic signs of its passage. Learning to track is like learning to read: Before you can begin making out meaningful words, sentences, and paragraphs, you have to know the alphabet. The felines include the house cat, bobcat, lynx, and cougar. The canines include dogs, foxes, coyotes, and wolves.
