i would have definitely done better if i didn't live in possibly the shittiest /out/ state, illinois...
also i feel like i have only gotten some of these on a technicality...
>swim across a river
I went tubing down a river for a few hours, bouncing/walking between river islands and going from shore to shore a few times, not sure but i feel like this counts.
>camp on private or protected land
doesn't *say* that i can't have rights to do so...
>become familiar with a region of wilderness
region isn't a very well defined term for how big of an area, so i feel like a 60 acre wooded plot counts
>Navigate using the stars
i know how to find polaris, used it once when driving in the country to figure north... meh...
>sleep in the open with no shelter
fell asleep on a dead tree in aforementioned 60 acre wooded plot for about an hour or two
>Encounter a venomous animal
i swatted a cottonmouth snake with a stick once when i was in a boat
