HOW TO SURVIVE THE
WILDERNESS
2. HOW TO CREATE A SHELTER
• There are many steps to survive out in the wilderness by just following the
eight steps giving you could survive no matter what situation you maybe. The first
step we are going to talk about is how to create an shelter for you to live in for
now. Step # 1 as I had said building an shelter and in the wilderness as everyone
may already know is that their is no houses located anywhere near their and that is
when you come in as a survivalist you may need the tools such ad branches
bamboo may also work as well , and you may need a rope to put the branches
together and cannot fall apart. More branches will help you for more protection
from windy and rainy weather. But this would only work if you are lost in the forest if
you wonder of into the desert you can start to realize that it is not like the
forest because their is no branches nor water in sight no such thing as life. Try to
make an underground shade shelter to help you prevent sun exposure and this well
help you travel in cooler temperatures but this method well only work if the climate
is to hot try to avoid sweating as for water you can find a cactus an drink the water
it has been holding . A third type of shelter is know as the lean- to for this we need
to have a log or a large rock to help you create this shelter and . Lay
longish branches against it thickly, and cress-cross smaller branches and shrubby
on top to support it the smaller the shelter the better it well be to survive. As you
can see their are many ways to build and create your very own shelter you just
need the tools and the mind to guide you.
3. TAKING ACTION
• We have talked about creating a shelter for you to live in
and now I well explain how to take action so you can
survive the wilderness. Quickly start thinking about all the
possible options and be decisive about the best survival
course of action is. For example, if you think the best
survival course of action is to seek help or civilization, do
not wait 4 through 5 days before you come to the
conclusion. Take action on the 1st and 2nd day if
possible while you still have strength and endurance
working for you.Taking action well help you survive and
not die and well prove that you have what it takes
because as everyone may know the wilderness is not a
place for the weak but for the strong and for people
that want to show their skills and strengths.
4. MAKING FIRE
• Making fire is a must in order to survive the cold and
cook food when you are out in the wild so it could give
you some strength ,hope, and warmth. There are many
ways to create a fire but I will start to explain three ways
only. The first, way is using your glasses and or an
magnifying glass lenses to help create the fire. Start
locating dry wood and sticks to help start the fire. There
are many kind of wood so only get tinder, kindling, and
fuel no other kind of wood. Tinder is any kind of
flammable wood shaving , They are usually light and
wispy. Kindling is used for coaxing the flame into a larger
form and fuel is for fuel. The second way is to take two
pieces of dry wood , sharpen one of them and drill it
towards the other piece. Make sure you have any
flammable objects you can find near the drill bit.
5. HOW TO CARVE A KNIFE
• Get an ordinary block of wood and hit with a blunt
rock repeatedly until the wood sharpens. Sharpen
like any other knife, but in this case, use the rock as
your sharpener. You could also take a rock and
break off some of the edges and then use another
rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen.
In an ideal situation, Obsidian stone (black,
translucent lava rock) would be used for its
infamous sharpness. This weapon well help you by
hunting or protecting yourself from danger and well
probably help you live up to a few more days.
7. LEAVING A TRAIL
• By leaving a trail behind you can find your way
back to your base and it can help other people
that you are in fact okay and there may be a
chance that help may be on its way. With this
strategy it will help you survive by not getting lost
and rebuilding your shelter, and starting all over
from the top.
8. DO’S
• A few things that you are supposed to do are listed
below to help you gain knowledge in case if you are in
situations such as for example stranded or just lost in an
forest or desert which in fact many people have.These
steps well assure your survival ,and help you get
motivated that there is still in fact hope for you to survive.
• Do:
• . Keep dry
• .collect water
• .Stay alert for weather related injuries
• .Get a fire
• .And be constantly alert of signs of rescue
9. DON’T
• What every survivalist should not do is panic and
give up hope. Panicking will cause a commotion
and may bring danger to you making it harder to
avoid danger. Giving up is a sign that you are in
fact not ready and you may just quit and die but if
you do the opposite of this you will live.
