This overnighter turned into something special. We headed down to Brandon Currin’s homestead — 23 acres of woodland with a solid pond — for an impromptu survival challenge. This time, my son joined us. He’s been out of the survival game for about 10 years, watching channels like Outdoor Boys and wondering if he still “has it.” We outfitted him with the core 5 C’s of Survivability:    •   Cutting Tool: BK2 KA-BAR    •   Combustion Device: Ferro rod    •   Container: 2-quart Zebra pot    •   Cover: Military Grabber blanket    •   Cordage: 550 paracord Brandon and I used the kits we built at the GA Bushcraft event, and together we:    •   Built shelters    •   Procured and filtered water    •   Started and maintained a long fire    •   Shared tools, skills, and knowledge We even had a surprise morale boost when Brandon’s daughter delivered pizza — officially dubbed “Daughter Dash.” Coming off the Bandana Challenge, Brandon and I were tired — but this overnight wasn’t about us. It was about helping my firstborn succeed, watching his confidence return, and showing how teamwork, mentorship, and shared experience make survival more than just gear. We laughed, we worked, we taught, and we recharged out there — and I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did. ?
