Remember! Predators are wary when someone is taller than them
A bear doesn't see well, and it's important to look taller when encountering one.
Lift something above you or stand on something.
By the way, that's what the bear stands up on its hind legs for: trying to become proportionate to its opponent.
How do you wind the rope so it's easy to untangle?
Remember, it may come in handy.
What can a reed be used for during survival
Reed is a plant that grows near the shores of bodies of water and has been known to everyone since childhood.
Few people know that it is edible. The root white part of the young plant can be eaten raw. The root is better baked on coals, also it is dried, grinded into flour and baked bread. Chopped reed leaves have a styptic effect.
Take a little distraction and enjoy cooking meat on a rock
Wish we were out in nature right now 🙂
How to bandage your hands
The main advantage of this method of bandaging hands in boxing is that it is quick and easy to remember.
It protects from injuries to the knuckle joints of the fingers of the hand, as it allows you to tighten each joint separately first and clench your fist more tightly. Professional boxers use it more often as the punches become harder and stronger.
Don't approach animals unnecessarily, even when they seem harmless. Here's a prime example.
Читать полностью…If you are trapped under rubble
If you are trapped under rubble, your most valuable resource at this moment is air. Therefore, in order not to waste it, it is important to act correctly.
Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Don't light a match or a lighter, it reduces the oxygen supply. Wait for help to come.
Don't yell. Yelling will increase panic, increasing breathing and heart rate, and therefore air flow. Take off your shirt or t-shirt and wrap it around your head. It will protect you from suffocation when dust and earth get in your face.
One of the new columns - Traps
A rudimentary but effective trap to catch small animals. It doesn't take long to make, and all you need are sticks and rope/fabric.
Don't forget to put the bait inside.
How to purify water in nature
1️⃣Take a clean sock. Pour into it a layer of charcoal, sand as the second layer, and grass as the last layer.
You can also use small stones and cloth.
2️⃣Next, pour water into the sock and hang it up. Clean water begins to flow, which you can drink.
How to make a hidden fire
Dakota hearth - suitable for those who do not want to leave behind traces, in addition, it is quite easy to disguise.
With this fire you can cook food, get warm, dry your clothes.
Starting a fire with a flashlight
✅Disassemble the flashlight and take out the reflector.
✅We take the previously prepared rubbish and put it into the reflector in the place of the bulb.
✅Then we catch the sun's rays and wait till the cord starts to ignite.
✅By blowing a small charcoal from the carcass we get fire.
How to build a shelter in 20 minutes
We will need: a fir and any sticks, branches, trees.
Find a straight tree. We wrap it with sturdy branches or tree trunks in the shape of a plague.
Then from below upwards we lay fir branches, thus covering all the holes between the branches.
On the ground, too, you can put fir branches, for convenience.
P.S Fir retains moisture really well. Lay the covers from the bottom up, this will allow the water to run off and not get inside your cover.
If caught in a thunderstorm in the woods
1. Don't hide under the tallest tree in the forest.
2. Don't be in the field during a thunderstorm.
Take shelter under a small tree or bush. If you stay overnight, build a shelter.
Also, wet ground can pose a danger during overnight stays, so be sure to cover it with wood and brushwood.
Getting salt in the woods
We will make salt from wood ashes. To do this, we need hardwood such as hazelnut.
✅We take logs and branches of hazel and burn them to ashes.
✅Then collect the ashes in a container and pour warm boiled water, mix them well.
✅We strain the mixture and then carefully pour off the top layer.
✅We put the rest on the fire and wait until the moisture evaporates. Use the residue in the form of sand instead of salt.
Fragrances against mosquitoes
1. One hundred grams of camphor or valerian vaporized over a burner will rid even very large rooms of flies and mosquitoes.
2. Finely chop fresh leaves of bird cherry or rowanberries and rub on exposed areas of the skin.
3. Essential oils of clove, basil, anise, eucalyptus:
Smear on exposed areas of skin (5-10 drops per glass of water), or on a fire source - fireplace, campfire, candle or heated frying pan. Soak the oil of these plants in a absorbent cotton and put it on a windowsill.
4. Fresh elderberry branches put in a room, they repel mosquitoes as well as the smell of tomato leaves.
2 small rules for setting up camp
The camp site must be high and dry, these are the 2 most important rules.
1) Water - attracts insects.
2) High place - allows you to see more and farther.
Why aren't the wounded given water?
Only those wounded in the stomach or head.
From a punctured stomach or intestine, water with half-digested food can leak into the abdomen, increasing the chance of peritonitis.
And with head injuries, a person can choke if he or she loses consciousness while drinking.
And in case of great blood loss it is even necessary to drink.
How to clean a wok more easily
Before you hang the pot over the fire, you should rub it with soap (soapy washcloth) or just raw clay.
It's easier to clean - the soot comes off with the soap or clay.
Which is more important for survival, the knife or the rope
Some have argued that the rope is the more versatile tool. Perhaps it does have more functions, but in survival, only those that help us survive are important.
For the sake of clarity of thought, we will compare a spherical knife in a vacuum and a spherical rope in a vacuum, and assume that the survivor has all the necessary skills.
How to make a refrigerator in a forest
The small pot is placed inside the large pot, the space between them is filled with wet sand, the entire structure is covered with a wet cloth.
The water gradually evaporates, taking heat from the contents of the inner pot, cooling it. It's quick, cheap and hearty.
The solution is logical and quite old, so in one form or another there is in any village.
The efficiency of such a refrigerator is quite high - the temperature decreases in relation to the surrounding by 15-20 degrees Celsius.
A camping trick
A small pencil sharpener that doesn't take up space and weighs only a bit helps you quickly get wood shavings that serve as the perfect stovepipe for your campfire. Sharpeners with a reservoir to collect the shavings are ideal.
A cone candle
An important advantage - the cone candle doesn't go out in the wind or in light rain. Burning time is about 15 minutes.
Step 1: Get the resin resin.
Step 2: Choose a fresh cone.
Step 3: Put your oleoresin in a cup.
Step 4: Light it and enjoy.
There is not much light from it, but when it is completely dark it is not a bad option. Moreover, it takes only two minutes to make one candle.
You can make them before dark. Of course, this trifle will not replace a torch or lantern. But for hiking in the need, to get rid of mosquitoes and even to scare away small predators, it is the best thing!
Water barrier
Such a thing can help when flooding or crossing shallow rivers with a strong stream.
In nature, you can make something similar out of trees, using beaver technology.
No one expected that to happen!
It happened in 1956 at the New York Zoo, when a 5-year-old girl stumbled and accidentally fell into a terrarium with crocodiles. At the same moment, dozens of predators swam incredibly close to the little girl. But suddenly, something happened that couldn't be seen in a nightmare dream: suddenly the little girl... Read more

The knife is the most essential tool
The main item that can ensure your survival in the woods is a knife. It will allow you to cut off branches to make a shelter from the rain, to cut up the carcass of a caught animal and to feed yourself, to repel enemies' attacks. A good knife becomes a kind of extension of a real fighter's hand.
