This being said the simplest and best way to treat water is to boil it. But I do believe toxic dumping happens, and I believe that fertilizers run off farms, so it is a sad state of affairs when we say we can't even dunk our heads in the streams God gave us with confidence anymore. I don't belive in the "Global Climate Change". I don't buy a lot of the enviromental doom and gloom. Granted you're not goning to fill a pool here but if you are striking out with the "water hole search" this will buy you time. It doesn't take anything more than a bandanna or a t-shirt to start collecting it.
Anyone who walked outside pre-dawn knows the kiss of dew on everything from grass to glass. What is not always so commonly thought of is morning dew. Thanks to that neat thing called gravity water convienaly flows downhill so when in doubt start to check the bottoms of hills and valleys.
Not just finding it, but also treating it. In this day and age there are 2 issues with water. You and I are 90% water so naturally finding water is a greater priority than food. I'd rather be in a situation where I was so warm I needed to take a jacket off than shivering with everything on. If you're in a survival situation, chances are you don't know the weather report for the next few days. I always am amazed when I see a couple of kids think they will keep warm with a few pieces of bark over a stick. The shelter's duty is to keep your own heat contained. never forget your body makes its own heat. (without burning your shelter.) Gather a lot of wood in the light so you don't have a 3AM search because you ran out and you're freezing. Lesson: Keep the fire small and stay close to it. there is a old comparison of fires that I think bears remembering.Ī white man generally builds a big fire and sits far away from it.Īn Indian would build a small fire and sit close. I know of at least 4 methods "rubbing sticks" (and I've learned 1 of them).ĪGAIN, you may want to learn some things BEFORE you need them.
#Three rules of survival how to#
Then there are countless skills you may want to learn about how to make fire from friction. Some of the best, (besides matches and lighters): If you're going to have a kit, have 3 means of fire starting. fill in the blank-?Ĭarry the mentality of the Law of 3 out to this level. Yes, every survival kit has matches in it, and smokers carry lighters, but what if. Luckily, there are two very good things you can do about it: fire and shelter.įire is obvious, but the trick is making it.
In the wrong weather you can freeze to death in hours. Patton said, "Courage is not action in the absence of fear, but the presence of action despite it." I'm just saying do what needs to be done through your fear. Provided you are all safe for the moment, your first priority is calm everyone down, because if you don't the panic will spread and stupidity doesn't just add with members it doubles. Chances are if your group is in a survival situation, someone is going to freak. This also includes looking out for your company. But I do recommend you pause the split second it takes to see which way is the safest way off the cliff. Now, I'm not saying spend hours contemplating your options as you sit in the car that's burning. The first think you have to do is think, rationally, and logically think. It is likely that stupidity is what got you into this mess, it's not going to get you out! Stupidity can kill you! Especially in a survival situation.
