"Hi, this is Eric Sterns, with Expert Village. We're discussing preparedness and preparation for short term emergency situations, due to vehicle breakdowns. And, we're going to be discussing signaling. I have been teaching and studying emergency survival training, as well as minimums camping and wilderness training for approximately fifteen years.
