"Can anyone post about who started with the idea to send youth to play survivalist games with canned food in the wilderness?"

The Mormons for one. I know that's not exactly what you're asking, but did Berg ever have an original idea?

The Mormons have been putting aside food and survival gear for a long time. And they're probably not the first. The other group that may have inspired Berg, or whoever you're referring to, was the US military.
