Tom Kasner:  

Hi I'm Tom Kasner.... This is what I submitted to Survivor 19 on an open casting call ... I was building campfires and tents from logs and tarp, long before 1961. Winter and summer alike, I lived for 14 months in a tent that I (with help) built . I went on a 3 mo bus trip around the state of Texas from Big Bend to Tyler, living in pup tents and cooking all meals with and for a group of 12. I've traveled in that group... 300 miles on the kiamechi and great Red rivers in 3 canoes from Whitesbouro OK to Sreaveport LA. I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane over Paris tx. and free dived to 60 ft in possum kingdom lake. I hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite, 3 times and camped up there once. I've crossed clouds rest and hiked towolomy meadows trail. I've been to the top of the highest mountain in the world (if measured from the bottom) in Guam, been inside a jap tank and into a cave where no human had been before. ...Expand for more
