My favorite in our area is Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, Indiana. The trails are fabulous–lots of deep ravines and old trees, etc. There are several good ones within driving distance. What good state parks has anyone been to, and what are the best features?
I really don’t pay much attention to State Parks, but maybe it’s because there are so many National Parks and Wilderness Areas within driving distance that I am so much more interested in. I tend to think of state parks as overbuilt, over regulated, and too close to civilization, and the lower elevations just don’t provide the adventure I crave, the cold air, the fishing, and wildlife.

Pick something else besides the will to survive. After the will to survive I think fire making is the most imortant, why? well: Fire can keep you warm Fire can be used to purify water and cook food Fire can boost morale Fire can be used to signal rescuers Fire can be used to scare away dangerous animals Sorry about the grammar error.
Shelter. You can have fire all you want, but exposure can kill you quickly, and fire cannot withstand heavy rain, snow, or wind.
