Student’s summer in sticks provides lessons in To we By Shea Wiggins The Battalion T his summer, Nathan McFall cooked his meals on a fire in the deep valleys of the wilderness. He went without showers, air condition ing and electricity for 28 days. He rescued hypothermia victims from the claws of a raging river. Now the senior environmental science major is back in civilization to fight the battles of the college front. McFall spent his summer at two out door wilderness programs. “The programs are like college level courses," McFall said. “It is summer school in the woods.” McFall went to the New Hampshire Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) Wilderness Medicine course for one month of medical wilderness training. He worked with students from Antarctica and the Navy Seals to be certified as an emergency medical technician. “It was a lot of interactive learning,” McFall said. “There were scenarios set up for us in the wilderness with fake blood and terrified victims. We were responsible for saving and treating them.” McFall also went to Wyoming for 28 days away from civilization in a Wilderness Education Association program. He was certified as an outdoor leader, placing him in the top 20 percent of all wilderness par ticipants in the nation. McFall said the programs changed his outlook on life. “The wilderness gives you a new per spective on society,” McFall said. “The things I thought were so important were no longer my top priorities. The courses are all about getting back to your roots and remembering what you started as.” McFall’s interest in the outdoors began in a high school outdoor education course. He worked at TAMU Outdoors last summer.

Pejo said a certain amount of personal tal ent was also necessary. “I’ve always been a fighter,” he said. “There are things in life you do better than anyone else, and for me, it’s fighting. I can see something in a fighting technique, and do it.” His natural athletic ability and “street experience” as a bartender and doorman in Dallas further honed his self-defense skills, Pejo said. Now, Pejo teaches what he has learned to others. He owns the Martial Arts Center, where he also teaches combat hap- kido, a more “practical” form of self-defense, he said. In addition to coaching the A&M tae kwon do team and the Center’s elite team, Pejo works with the University Plus program, local school programs, rape prevention workshops, attention deficit disorder sufferers and a “second shot” juvenile delinquent program. ! ri “If everybody was required to martial arts,” Pejo said, “there wouli be any gangs.” 3 Martial arts provides focus and self esteem to f come the draw of gan^s, he and creates leaders. “If you’re a leader, youtevsi cumb to peer pressure,’’ he said.
