The document discusses various strategies and considerations for survival in the wilderness. It outlines symptoms of dehydration and emphasizes the importance of shelter, food sources like cattails and maggots, and making traps to catch small animals. While food isn't an immediate need, it is important if one plans to be active in gathering resources or building shelters. Additionally, the document recommends establishing shelter, as it can prevent hypothermia and illness, and eventually obtaining fire, which allows for cooking, boiling water, and hardening weapons to hunt more successfully.

2. Symptoms of Dehydration: dry or sticky mouth,
drowsiness, thirst, decreased urine output,
fatigue and dizziness, lethargy, muscle
weakness, headache.

3. Although it may be
less convenient,
creating a solar still
could make the
difference between
life and death.

4. The human body can go without food for
3 weeks, however if you plan to be active,
creating shelters or gathering resources,
food is a must.
Making traps such as snares
requires little energy and can be
very beneficial.

5. Alternatively to meat,
there are other food
sources such as
maggots which provide
protein and nutrients,
and other edible plants
available in a forest.
One edible plant is the cattail,
along with other meals, cattails
can be made into a form of
pancakes.

6. Establishing and building a
shelter when stuck in a
wilderness survival situation
can make the difference
between life and death.
Shelters not only give you
protection, but they also
prove as cover from weather,
reducing the chances of
hypothermia and other
weather related illnesses.

7. Although it is not an immediate
requirement, having fire will assure
you the longevity you may need if you
are in a more serious situation.
Not only will fire allow you to keep your
body warm, but it will allow you to cook
meals to avoid sicknesses, boil water to
purify it, and even harden wooden
weapons in order to make your hunting
more efficient and successful.
These two methods
provide visuals of how
one can create fire
through creating friction
between two pieces of
wood.
