Sharing these nice words from a fan:
Hi Mykel and Ruth,
I have watched every episode of your show many times over
and I love it, but it has also become a training manual of sorts for me. I have
made several trips in the outdoors to practice the skills I learned from your
show. In one such trip I successfully lit a camp fire with a mag bar and tinder
etc.. From the surrounding area in less than five minutes in the snow. I was
really proud of myself. I also have your book and the orange compass/mirror/
gadget that I carry with me everywhere when I go hiking etc... (And I always
bring a lighter!) Anyway, you really encourage me as my parents are really
discouraging. You have become a role model for me that I look back to when I
need encouragement. I wanted to say thanks to you and Ruth for everything and I
would love to meet you someday and just say hi.
Cheers, Jennifer
