SURVIVAL -- Fairchild's Air Force survival instructors are schooling Priest Lake Search and Rescue in the art of survival this weekend.

Everybody's a volunteer in this group, getting ready to help other outdoors folks out should they need it.

By the way, everyone should practice building a fire in the cold, wet, winter woods.

Check out fire-building techniques in this photo gallery.
