Welcome to the Wilskills Wiki

Wilskills, short for Wildnerness Skills, is an outdoor education program at Vanderbilt Univeristy. This wiki is an off-shoot of the Wilskills Yahoo Groups page. It began as a way to capture the wealth of outdoor knowledge of Wilderness Skills instructors and students gathered over the years. Please feel free to create an article sharing your 'skills' and experiences in the outdoors.

*This is just a rough start for the page, so feel free to play around, organize, or whatever to make it better for others to use. "Hiking & Backpacking Technique" has some info in it, and makes a good template.
