His love of the outdoors started at a young age, growing up on a farm in the Piedmont hills of Virginia. Eating wild edibles and learning about the animals in the forest were part of his rural youth, but as a teenager, he couldn't get enough of the subject of survival. In his early twenties, he began working with kids through youth workshops for schools, church groups, the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and other youth throughout the region. He still continues to volunteer his time and has worked with thousands of Scouts and other children over the past thirty years. In the spring of 1997, he opened a business teaching wilderness skills to adults, and he still continues this business today. Over the years, Tim has been a featured survival expert for \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic\u003c\/i\u003e, CNN, \u003ci\u003eGood Morning America\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConde Nast Traveller\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMen's Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, FOX 5 DC and several other organizations. Tim has also written scores of articles for \u003ci\u003eOFF-GRID\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and is the lead storyteller for their regular feature article \"What If?\". Tim has been writing for \u003ci\u003eOutdoor Life\u003c\/i\u003e magazine since 2010 and has become a regular contributor to the \"Outdoor Life Survival\" website, creating hundreds of blogs and articles for OutdoorLife.com. Tim's strong relationship with the Outdoor Life brand led to the publishing of Tim's first book with OL's sibling company, Weldon Owen publishing. Tim's first three titles with Weldon Owen were \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestsellers. Tim is also a husband and father of two beautiful girls, and still resides in Virginia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Timothy Macwelch \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48944176005277,"sku":"9781510788435","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_9b38b5cf-a9aa-47c5-a13c-0bd6b7b0ab77.jpg?v=1790155266","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/water-and-fire-survival-handbook-your-guide-to-providing-safe-drinking-water-and-starting-a-campfire-with-various-methods-9781510788435","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
