Arctic Survival


First painting completed of 07. I attended Air Force Arctic Survival School in OCT05. While in the field it stayed an average -20˚F. We learned how to build a wet and dry fire, snare wild game, forage, signal rescue aircraft, shoot flares at 20 below while in full winter gear, build a smoke generator, and how to build a shelter. Can't say in hind sight I had much fun, but I learned how to survive.
