5 Basic Survival Skills Suriving in the Outdoors
http://www.adventuresportsonline.com/5basic.htm
One
of the most important elements to survival is between your ears, your
brain. DO NOT PANIC, use your wits and practice all elements of the 5
Basics before you may need to rely on them.
FIRE can purify
water, cook food, signal rescuers, provide warmth, light and comfort,
help keep predators at a distance, and can be a most welcome friend and
companion. Each and every person who ventures into the Outdoors should
have a minimum of two ways to start a fire with them, one on their
person at all times and the other with their gear. A few small fires
provides more heat than one large fire. Collect firewood you think you
will need for the night and then collect the same amount again,
experience shows you will need it. Conserve fuel by making a "star fire"
where the ends of large logs meet in the fire only, push inward as more
fuel is needed. Make a reflector from your SPACE BLANKET on the back
wall of a shelter to reflect heat of your survival fire to your back,
sit between fire and back shelter wall.
SHELTER is the
means by which you protect your body from excess exposure from the sun,
cold, wind, rain or snow. Anything that takes away or adds to your
overall body temperature can be your enemy. Clothing is the first line
of shelter protection, have the right clothes for the right environment.
Always have a hat. Try and keep the layer closest to your body dry.
Layers trap air and are warmer than one thick garment. Do not expend
energy making a shelter if nature provides one. Practice building a
quick lean-to shelter in case you can not find your campsite, do not
wait until you need to make one. Use a SPACE BLANKET to prevent dampness
or to insulate your shelter or to wrap yourself up in a sitting or
squat position to concentrate your body core heat.
SIGNALING
is having available the means and ability to alert any and all
potential rescuers that you are in need of HELP. Fire, flashing light,
bright color markers, flags, mirrors, whistles all will help you be
found. Three fires in a triangular form are a recognized distress
signal. Carefully bank your signal fires to prevent igniting surrounding
area. Use regular signal mirrors only when you can see a plane, or
people in the distance. Use EMERGENCY STROBE light at night to help
attract attention from those that may be in the area. Make smoky fire
with organic material over the fire during the day to attract attention.
Lay out ground to air signal in open field, S.O.S. from rocks, logs or
colored clothing, whatever will be seen against the background. Most
search and rescue parties use aircraft as a primary method of sighting.
FOOD / WATER
are vital towards your survival. Ration your sweat not your water
intake. Try to drink only in the cool of the evening. You can live up to
three days without water. DO NOT eat plants you do not know. Never
drink urine. Always assume that you will need extra food and water when
you plan your trip. Pack energy bars and candy in your pockets at all
times, just in case. If possible boil all water 10 minutes plus one
minute for every 1000 feet above sea level. Strain water through your
handkerchief to remove large particles. Try to drink only in the cool of
the evening. Never wait until you are without water to collect it. Have
some poly zip bags to collect and store water. Never eat any wild
berries that you are not sure of what they are. You can catch rainwater
in your SPACE BLANKET by laying it out in a trench.
FIRST AID
is not just the basic medical needs, it is the primary way in which you
act to survive. DO NOT PANIC, remain calm and do what you have to do to
take care of YOU. STOP means Sit, Think, Observe, and Plan. It is the
most intelligent thing you can do when you realize you are lost or
stranded. The most important element is to keep your brain functioning
rationally, this is basic first aid for survival. Analyze your needs
before every trip, create a medical checklist and carry a small personal
kit with you at all times. Most survival situations require only
dressing for small cuts, bruises and personal medication needs, make
sure you know what you have with you and how to use it. Do not over
pack, pack what you feel you will need to carry with you at all times.
Concentrate on being found, pack a picture of your family in with your
gear to remind you of the reasons to remain calm and to survive. Prevent
hypothermia by insulating yourself in a SPACE BLANKET.

Squad, frequently abbreviated to ZS, is a community service and

How to build an outdoor survival shelter
http://www.wilderness-survival-skill...alshelter.html
In
most survival situations, shelter should be your first concern. Shelter
not only provides the necessary protection from heat, cold, wind or
rain, but also serves as a base of operations and provides a boost to
morale against the deteriorating affects of noises in the night.
