Wilderness Way Magazine
Pasadena Weekly - Mr. Natural
&Ldquo;In a survival situation, you’re either prepared or you’re not,” the fit and trim 56-year-old Nyerges said recently. “And most people are wholly unprepared. That being said, I look at failure, which most people try to avoid, as a good thing. Failure from the standpoint of character-building means that you have your weaknesses exposed, and if you’re smart, you then do something about it.” Nyerges, who writes the Outdoors column for the Pasadena Weekly, once edited and wrote for the now-defunct Wilderness Way magazine, along with several other publications. He’s also appeared on a number of TV shows and has penned 10 books about survival strategies in various settings. His best seller is “How to Survive Anywhere: A Guide for Urban, Suburban, Rural, and Wilderness Environments,” which is popular primarily because it covers the basics of just about any given survival situation a person could find themselves in. Nyerges became interested in backpacking at age 10, and his interest in all things outdoors blossomed from there. Since 1974, he has taught classes at Pasadena City College, Los Angeles City College and Glendale Community College. He’s also taught survival techniques to a wide variety of local groups, including schools, churches and Boy Scouts — a total of 35,000 people, by Nyerges’ estimate. “I haven’t canceled classes in a long time because the classes are always full. People are looking for reasonable, sensible, non-fanatical answers,” he said. “Unfortunately, most people like fantasy more than reality. Some things are useful, like a fishing pole, but we fill our spaces with things that ultimately clutter our minds.” “The [workshops] have been extremely informative, especially when Christopher takes us on walks to learn about edible food identification,” said Schneider. For instance, gourds belong to the same family of vegetables as squash, cucumbers, melons and pumpkins, but are not edible. However, their seeds are, and the plant itself can be turned into many types of household items — bowls, vases, canteens, even pieces of art. “I can now make a whole meal from things I find in nature, and that’s pretty cool,” Schneider said. During his courses, Nyerges works with individuals and explains to the group the historical significance of whatever project they’re working on.
