Are the terms “wild” and the “wilderness” different?
Question:Slide4
“Wild is a state of being, an attitude. Wilderness is a political designation on a map. Wild is a spirit, a way of living life. Wilderness is like zoning. It's a planning category for a piece of geography that limits the kind of activity that can take place there.
Wilderness is not wild because government officials say so. If a wilderness is really wild, it is because the critters that choose to live there say so.”

“
It should not be denied... that being footloose has always exhilarated us. It is associated in our minds with escape from history and oppression and law and irksome obligations, with absolute freedom, and the road has always led West.”

Passed by Lyndon B. Johnson
“The
National Wilderness Preservation System, created at the signing of the Wilderness Act, was to contain those lands, already owned by the American people, that were "untrammeled by man." They were to be managed "for the use and enjoyment of the American people in such manner as will leave them unimpaired for future use and enjoyment as wilderness..."
Wilderness Act of 1964Slide14
The government defined the term wilderness
in this act as: "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain

Examples: atomic war, anarchy, massive natural disasterSlide23
Survivalist terms:
Hunker down: to stay home (and use your arsenal of accumulated materials and food)
Bug out: to evacuate (with your prepared “Bug out bags”)Slide24
