WINTER SURVIVAL

FIRE BUILDING

LIGHTER AND EASY TO BURN

• Use a lighter to start a fire very easily.
• Without a lighter you will need a log and a stick
• If you want your fire to spread more easily grab easy to burn items for example lint or leaves
• Have a stick in your hand to move sticks or leaves in a better place

STICK TRICKS AND SIGNAL FIRE

• I would place sticks all around the Core of the fire to make it spread better
• Place lint paper and leaves under the sticks to get the fire to spread to the sticks faster
• Signal fires are made by putting lots of tree branches and leaves on the fire
• Signal fires are useful to get rescued as soon as possible by let's say a helicopter

FOOD

HUNTING AND COOKING

• If you decide to hunt for food be careful of what animal you will hunt
• To hunt you need to be stealthy so the prey does not smell, hear or see you
• You should definitely cook meat to avoid food poisoning
• To cook food you don't want to under or over cook it

FINDING FOOD AND WHAT NOT TO EAT

• You can find food in a lot of places but some places are better to search for food than others
• Animals can be found in all sorts of places but berries and plants need to be found in specific environments
• All though most berries you will find in the wild will probably be poisonous berries
• Even some insects or animals could be poisonous so watch out what you eat

HYPOTHERMIA

HOW TO GET IT AND HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Your body would need to get below 35 degrees to have hypothermia
• If people have wet clothing or touch very cold objects it increases the chance of getting hypothermia
• You can prevent getting hypothermia by letting of body heat, that means do jumping jacks or something like that
• You could take off any wet clothing and add extra layers of clothing

HOW T0 CURE SOMEONE WITH IT, DIED?

• To cure someone with hypothermia take of any wet clothing and supply their body with lots of blankets
• Give them warm beverages to warm up their core and monitor their breathing
• If a person is going through hypothermia they will look died but their is a good chance they are not so follow the steps and you might save their life
• The persons heart will be beating very fast if they are alive

SHELTER BUILDING

ACCESSORIES AND WHERE TO LOOK

• In a shelter It won't come with a bed so make one yourself out of leaves and sticks
• To make a fire you will need something that I will talk about later in your shelter if you have it, a fire should be the first priority
• A good place to look for a shelter would be a giant hill or a place with a lot of trees
• This is very unlikely but you could look for a wooden hut that someone has already have made if it would be anywhere it would be in a flat area

GOOD PLACEMENT AND COVERAGE

• A good place for a shelter would be a place with a good amount of food and water
• Something that you don't want near your house is deadly animals that you can't kill, because they can kill you or steal any food you have
• You would need a cover over your shelter to prevent rain from raining on you(one thing that can lead to hypothermia) or your fire
• Another reason is so deadly animals can't just jump down into your shelter
