IntroductionWelcome! You have a big adventure ahead of you. A group of campers have
decided to take a trip up to the Catskill Mountains and stay there for ONE
entire year! They heard that you were the "Survival Experts" and have
elected your group to prepare them for their long journey. They want you to
develop a Survival Guide based on what you know about surviving in the
wilderness so they can take it along with them. This will be their only
guide! What will they need? How will they eat? Where will they sleep? How
will they protect themselves? The list goes on! Remember these people are
counting on you to lead them! Good luck and have fun! Proceed to the Task
