Our troop is currently working on wilderness survival, and to help out, we are looking for some wilderness survival games. Does anybody have an good ones?

Track, trap, and prepare your own snipe dinner?
No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way. - Lord Baden-Powell

Are we talking about just for fun, or is this tied to the MB?
I would give them scenarios to work through (i.e. your plane when down in this environment and you only have this "stuff"... make due until rescue comes and have a mock search party out looking for them, etc...)
I would do some training, or refresher training prior to though, and see how well they use it during the course of the scenario.

The survival game series would be great in this situation. I've used the Desert 1 game for youth and adults both. You might find them for free on the web, but they belong to these guys:
