Wilderness Survival: The Sacred Order is a universal truth

The Holy Order is as follows: Shelter - then water, fire, food. In a survival situation, it is important to save energy and resources. Panic and frustration in the way of success for every situation - that can be deadly in the open. If it's late or you're in a place with limited resources, what do commodities.

The point of building a shelter is the first, for the cost of energy to collect branches and leaves, you can build a debris shelter, withoutTools and provide a way to maximize your body heat. The worst that can happen in the forest is not hungry or attack animals - is hypothermia.

Hypothermia occurs when body temperature can be cooled suddenly and deeply below 96 degrees Celsius or 35.5 ° C. This will happen on a hot sunny day, when sweat soaked clothes, drawing heat from the body. You can also at risk of hypothermia, exposure to wind, cold and dry air breathing, or simplydressed wrong. Shivering is a sign that the body cools. Their survival depends on your ability to warm up.

While it is tempting to make a fire, even if you have all the tools and the wood to dry, you still need to keep feeding the fire. On the contrary, the construction of a debris protection you can get a good night's sleep and stay warm. If you're rested, you can choose better.

Another advantage of building a debris shelter, is that even if you must use the wet leaves, theair gap between the leaves to collect the body heat and keeps you warm. I stayed in a protective wet leaf debris. When I woke up the next morning, my fingers were wrinkled like I was in the bath too long, but I was hot. While there was no where near as comfortable to sleep on dry leaves or pine needles, cattail fluff, I could relax and sleep, knowing that I was safe.

Once you have shelter, water is your next concern. If you survive in a situation never eat when you have enoughWater, to prevent dehydration. If you live in deciduous forests, which collects the dew collected on absorbent cloth such as cotton plants. I make it a point to wear a bandana or two. You can clean along the surface of the plant or you can tie her up and walking through wet vegetation. Play the cloth in his mouth or suck on it.

I also wear pint and gallon size plastic bags. These may be placed around the green leaves on a branch with an anglehang the bag and tied. The moisture that forms from condensation will collect in the plastic bag. This is drinking water.

DO NOT eat snow in winter, when water and container, should melt the snow. Eating snow cut your body temperature and dehydration.

There are other ways to collect drinking water, but these are the easiest.

Now that you bring to your accommodation and a way for water, if you're still in a survival situation was, is the focus of the nextChallenge. In a recent camping trip, two did not have my three lighters. There was no sun, so my bike was not an option, and even though I said with steel wool and a 6-volt battery (or two AA batteries) is a fire, I do not usually able to support.

The only other alternative but to fire the tools to turn the device causes a fire to build. A bow drill or hand drill apparatus to the fire by friction requires skill and practice. Understanding how fire caused byworks and knowledge of friction, is much more than wood.

Making a fire is only part of the process. You must keep the fire going, the collection is a type of extinguishing media starter - dry grass or leaves, small branches of clothing or Dolce. Once the fire is started, it is necessary to move forward with arms to turn. When the fire is stronger, you can make big pieces of firewood.

E 'need to have your bait, fuel and power, before collectingBeginning of the fire.

If you have access to the fire, then you can draw your attention to a food product. All are edible herbs in North America. They chew the plant to extract the juice and spit out the pulp. pine needles can be immersed in boiling water for an excellent source of vitamin C.

Many wild edible plants are poisonous double. Never eat anything if you have even a shadow of a doubt, especially in a survival situation.

In winter do not have access to plants orInsects. If you do not have the ability to capture the animals, will be at a serious disadvantage. to make learning and provide different types of traps is extremely useful skill.

Make the best preparation for a survival situation before arriving in this situation.

Even without mastering these skills, when to pay attention and follow the sacred order: shelter, then water, then the fire and the food last - the chances of survival are greatly improved.
