24 Hours in the Wild with a Doomsday Preppers Kit

In late November, on a Tuesday afternoon, my husband locked me out of the house. It was the first real day of snow in northern Wisconsin, gray and cold, and sticky flakes dusted the forest around our home. Not the weather I'd have chosen for a night unsheltered in the woods, but in a way, I reassured myself, that made the experiment realistic: survivors can't be choosers. I headed into the woods with a backpack designed for doomsday preppers from a company called Echo Sigma, contents unknown. My mission: to make it through the next 24 hours. Along the way, I learned something new about survival, and the ways that we try to prepare for it.
