HOW TO SURVIVE TO THE FITTEST.

4.02 Discussion: Survival of the Fittest

Have you ever think about yourself stuck or trapped on island alone or in the forest
without any kind of supplies? Well, not many people have thought about it, maybe they
have done it but when they were kids or after they have seen a movie about something
similar, this can happen, and if it may happen to you, you will be prepared to overcome
anything that is put ahead (as an obstacle) thanks to this article.
Well, first of all, you should never waste all your energy in one day because that
will not help you to try to survive. Your body can survive two weeks without food and
three or four days without water, the most important is to stay in calm and think with
clarity. If get in panic you would lose your control and end up losing your opportunity of
survival, that’s means you mustn’t let it takeover. Your priority is security the water, the
shelter, and the food, all in that order.
Now that you know the most important thing,
I will give you some tips to find water. You need to
find a supply of clean and fresh water, most of the
people start by looking for food, and they take days
and they can become dehydrated. So, first is the
search of water and after it the food.
After you find water you need to build a
place to take refuge from the wild animals and the nature since is a bit unpredictable. There
are some important things you need to know about the water and the food: When you
extract the water, you need to remove (leave behind) the salt and the impurities. If you do
not, it will be worse than just drinking saltwater. Never drink saltwater as a last resort. The
salt dehydrates you and is worse even if you do not have any other water.
About the looking for food, you should never eat jellyfish or spiny-looking fish or
swollen fish. Never eat white berries, most of the white berries are poisonous. If you are not
100% sure what they are, do not eat them. Plants leaves of three, forget about them! These
plants can be poison ivy. Build fire for the night so you don’t get cold and to be able to see
whether an animal is approaching, if it isn't to bigger you can take advantage and well kill it
and eat some meal warmed by the fire of the "campfire."
Some tips I want to give you are... Collect large piles of wood and fire them to make
a smoke signal, the dry wood works better. Make a hat based on palm leaves to protect
yourself from the sun and not burn yourself. Make a fishing pole with sticks and branches.
Then, as bait uses things like worms. When making a fire, make sure you have splinters, or
any kind of wood. The best kind to make fire is when the wood has a cone or a tringle
shape. Take your time to think about what you have, who is with you, what do you need
and other aspects of the same nature.
