How to survive when lost in the wild
Make sure you have a hatchet or a knife while hiking.
Step 1 build shelter
• Form a angular shape with it. Use many branches/logs added stability and protection.
• One type shelter is a lean to- for this you need a large rock or log lay long branches against it and smaller against it use shrubs or moss for roof.
• The smaller the better to insulate yourself.
• In cold or freezing conditions, the worst thing you can do is let yourself get sweaty.
• Every hour or so take of your outer clothes for a maximum of one minute.
Step two
• Quickly think about all possible options and be perceive about what best survival course of actions is.
Step 3
• Use a magnify glass or even your glasses to start a fire.
• Use dry wood and sticks
• You can take twos small pieces of wood sharpen one and use it to drill into the other piece.
• Place all flammable objects you can find next to the drill.
• The moment it starts take a rock and swiftly tip the object onto the nest of dry things.
Step 4
• Carve a hunting knife.
• Get the best square looking block of wood you can find hit it with a blunt rock repeatedly until wood sharpens.
• Sharpen like any other knife but in this case the rock is the sharpener.
• You could also use and break of edges and then use another rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen.
Step 5
• Set a trap if you cant go hunting.
• Use traps for large animals.
• Dig a hole in the ground 2 to 3 meters and 1 to 2 meters across.
• Take a few sharp branches at the bottom.
• Take 2 thin branches and place them cress-crossed across the top.
– Go after fish first if you go hunting. When you spot one, don't make a sudden move. The vibrations will scare them off. Water bends light, and makes objects appear further back than they really are- so compensate for this and aim just in front of your target. Practice makes perfect.
– Streams are full of food if you cannot catch fish there are usually fresh water mussels
– If you fail at catching fish, try to find some plants to eat; dandelions.(yellow flowers or big white thing, eat the leaves), sour grass (has a yellow flower at the top and looks like grass, only in a cylinder shape, has no leaves, eat the cylinders grass , just NEVER eat white berries. It may be tempting to eat regular grass, but do not.
Step 6
• Create a smoke signal.
• Repeat fire step this time use green branches
• Or use a piece of cloth or blanket.
tips 1
• Remember your only lost when you don’t remember where you came from.
• You are only as sharp as your knife.
• When hunting or traveling always carry a sharp knife.
Tips 2
• A fish / abbey trap can be created with a sock/stocking and bottle.
• Cut the toe out of the sock/stocking and the top of the bottle.
• place the sock inside the bottle and secure the sock to the top of the bottle.
• Then push a small piece of meat through the hole in the sock
and place the bottle into the water.
Tips 3
• When you eat an unknown fruit, if it is bitter, it is probably poisonous, if it is sweet it is probably good to eat.
• However, this does not always apply. So avoid eating unknown fruits.
• Here is a good checklist against food poisoning: Rub the food on your arm and wait for 5-10 minutes.
• If there is a rash don't eat it. If there isn't, put it against your lips. Wait for 5-10 minutes.
• If there is a rash or discomfort don't eat it. If there isn't, put it on your tongue. Wait for 5-10 minutes.
• If there is discomfort don't eat it. If there is no discomfort, take a smallpiece and swallow it. Wait for 3-5 hours.
• If there is discomfort, don't eat it. If there isn't, the food is safe to eat.
Tips 4
• Using a standard 12-hour watch, such as a wristwatch, one's approximate bearings can be found as follows:
• Hold the watch with 12 o'clock pointing towards your left.
• Rotate into position so that the hour hand is pointing towards the Sun.
• The point halfway between the hour hand and 12 o'clock points towards the south. (During daylight saving time, the same method can be employed substituting 11 o'clock for noon.)
Tips 4
• If in the autumn and there a lot of leaves on the ground, gather up lots and lots of leaves and put them in a pile - the more leaves, the better.
• This big pile of leaves can be your bed and blanket to stay warm.
• Make sure you have a thick layer of leaves below you to prevent your body heat from being absorbed by the ground.
• Use a thick layer above you as a make-shift blanket.

The five W’s
• The Five "W's" of Survival: – Weather: Temperature of the area, know what kind of
shelter you need.
– Wood: How much wood is around for both fire and shelter?
– Wiggles: spiders, scorpions, snakes, anything that can bite you or poison you.
– Widow makers: rocks, trees, large animals, anything that can fall on you or attack you.
– Water: Where will you get water, and how will you obtain it?
How to survive with just a knife
• Believe it or not, survival in a temperate environment is easy. In the woods one can die from a number of different things.
• However, by simply having the knowledge and exploiting what you know, the woods can become a home and a new reality.
• By having a simple blade, one can fashion his own tools and his own means for survival.
• NOTE: Before considering any of the information below, recognize that temperature defines precedence in the wilderness.
• If the temperature gets below 40 degrees at night consider fire your most important prerequisite.
• However if the temperature rises to greater than 90 degrees during the day, consider moving and working at night and sleeping under cover during the day.
Step 1
• Find water.
• Move to the lowest point you can find there should be some water or lesson if you hear running water run towards it.
Step 2
• Make friends with trees not really.
• White birch
• American Basswood
• Common Maple
Step 3
• Cut some basswood.
• You got to try and make some rope
Step 4
• Go mudding yes really.
• While getting some water there is usally clay and mud along the shore.
• Cover your self in mud or clay with a thin layer it acts like armor against bugs and is go for hunting.
Step 5
• Find game.
• After you have your armor on.
• Follow small tracks large ones should be avoided.
• Look for rabbits.
Step 6
• Make fire.
• If its starting to get dark out fire is your best bet.
• Before lighting a fire clear a six foot circle.
• When you go on trips study the geography first.
• Know the trails.
• Get maps or a gps.
• Study books on wildlife survival.
