Two sensible young sisters have their survival skills to thank for braving 44 hours in the Northern California wilderness. Caroline Carrico, 5, and Leia Carrico, 8, learned basic survival skills at their local 4-H club: the 4 Hs in the club’s name stand for “head, heart, hands, and health,” and the girls certainly used the first three to ensure the fourth on their recent adventure.
Their combined knowledge of how to take care of themselves in the great outdoors is what gives this story its phenomenal, happy ending.
