Stuart ‘Outback” Selkirk was an instructor at the Survival School and the Jungle Warfare Training Center. Most people are intimidated by wilderness. They don’t feel comfortable In an area with no sign of human life for miles. Not Selkirk! He believes in being part of his environment, not its adversary. As a survival expert, he is essential on missions that require the G.I. JOE team to operate at night and lay low during the day. The team may find a spot that looks like a perfect place to pitch a shelter, but Selkirk can point out the dangers no one else sees.

“That shady spot in the trees looks nice and cozy, right? It is — to the poisonous snakes that nest there. That place downstream is great for a camp, right? It is — until a sudden storm causes a flash flood that sweeps you away. You want to know how to survive in the wild? I’ll teach you.”
