SURVIVA L
GUIDE
 SURVIVAL PACK
“BUG OUT BAG”
1. Drinking water: It is much more difficult to find clean water in some
parts of the world; bringing one will keep us hydrated for days.
2. Dried food: Just like water, our bodies do need food as a source of
energy
3. First aid kit: Because we cannot immediately go to the hospital after
an accident or any injury, this first aid kit will delay our wounds or
symptoms before getting to the doctor’s hands.
4. Clothes: It is essential to have at least one change of clothes especially
in wet conditions. Wearing damp clothes is uncomfortable and can
soon become an issue.
5. Knives: This can be used for trapping, wood cutting, skinning and
other emergency situations.
6. Rope: Some types of rope can be used to make a shelter, climb, drag
heavy objects, or even build traps.
7. Emergency Radio: We may not be able to access our mobile phones;
however, we can get the emergency information (what has happened,
what should be done to make the situation better) by listening to the
radio.
8. Lighter: Any light source is certainly helpful at night as it helps us stay
safe from obstacles and aware of strangers or wild animals.
9. Medicine: This is obviously a must for those who have health issues.
Because it will definitely be hard to go to the hospital during your
journey, it is a good idea to have some common medicine with you at
all times.
10. Navigation: Knowledge about basic routes and landmarks is needed
when you travel to unfamiliar places; map & compass will ensure that
you are on the right track.
 SURVIVAL
PRIORITIES
First priority - Shelter
We can survive only for
three hours without shelter
in a harsh environment.
Body temperature is a key
factor of survival. Due to the
unpredictable weather and
area, shelter is needed in
order to keep ourselves
protected from heavy rain,
snow, cold, and heat.
Second priority - Water
Normally, we can live
without water for only
three days. Water is
actually a must especially
in the hot and dry season.
Our body is evaporating
and exhaling moisture all
the time. When it is not
replenished, our health
will deteriorate rapidly.

 CPR
BEFORE THE CPR
1. Check the scene and the person. Shout "Are you OK?" to ensure
that the person needs help.
2. Call 191 for assistance. (In case they are not eaten by zombies!!!!)
3. Open the airway. With the person lying on his or her back, tilt the
head back slightly to lift the chin.
4. Check for breathing, for no more than 10 seconds, for sounds of
breathing. (Occasional gasping sounds do not equate to
breathing.) If there is no breathing begin CPR

AFTER THE CPR

1. Push hard, push fast. Place your hands, one on top of the other,
in the middle of the chest. Use your body weight to help you
push at least 2 inches deep and delivered at a rate of at least
100 compressions per minute. (The beat of “Stayin’ Alive” by the
Bee Gees)
2. Deliver rescue breaths. With the person's head tilted back
slightly and the chin lifted, pinch the nose shut and place your
mouth over the person's mouth to make a complete seal. Blow
into the person's mouth to make the chest rise. Deliver two
rescue breaths, then continue compressions.
3. Continue CPR steps. Keep performing cycles of chest
compressions and breathing until the person exhibits signs of
life, such as breathing. If the CPR is unsuccessful, throw them to
the zombies, maybe they will be full and not eat you.
 FIRST AID
Broken bone
1. Stop the bleeding: apply the pressure to the wound using
a clean piece of clothing.
2. Immobilise the injured area: use a splint or sling to
immobilise (if it happens on their neck, help them stay as
still as possible.)
3. Apply cold to the area: wrap something cold in a piece of
clothing and apply to the injured area.
4. Treat them from the shock: get them into the comfortable
position, encourage them to rest.

Fever
1. Remove excess clothes
2. Give a person fluids
3. Keep them hydrated
4. Avoid giving aspirin to
those under 16 years old
5. Give paracetamol if they
are also in pain
 FIRST AID
Pulled muscles
1. Do not move the injured
part
2. Use any cold materials to
reduce pain
3. Compress the area firmly
using a bandage
4. Elevate the injury above
heart level

Lacerations
1. Control the bleeding using direct
pressure
2. Clean the area with clean water
3. Protect the wound from
contamination
4. Immobilize the wound to
prevent further damage
5. Cover the area with a sterile
bandage

 WATER
PURIFYING WATER
BOILING
(cheapest + safest)
1. Remove particles by filtering the water
2. b.Pour the water into a pot or any fire resistant container
3. c.Initiate a fire and put the container on top

The longer the water stays boiled, the more likely it is that any
dangerous bacteria will be killed off. Minimum suggested time
boiled is 1 minute but 10 is recommended to be safe.

FILTRATION
(Eliminate large, small compounds)

Filters require you to manually pump water through a

filtration device. The water filtered safety may depend on how
effective the filtration device is. If used effectively, it can filter
up to 1.5 liters per minute.
Example: personal water filter by LifeStraw

 WATER
DESALINATING WATER
Survival water purification involves a challenging desalination
method: distillation by evaporation. The idea is that by
evaporating water, salt and other particles are separated to
make it completely safe to drink. Of course, this also means
you’ll also need heat and some sort of entrapment to create
condensation.

SOLAR STILL
With a solar still, the natural energy of the sun is used to purify
water. The most basic way to create a solar still is to simply dig
a hole in the ground, add in some vegetation for that extra
moisture, pour in your saltwater, leave your catch cup or bowl
in the middle, and securely cover the hole with a large plastic.

EQUIPMENT
a big layer of plastic
a dug-up hole on the
ground
some vegetation
saltwater
 WATER
DESALINATING WATER
BOILING WITH HEAT
This method can provide you with more drinkable water than
a solar still, but it does require a lot of external heat energy.
The closed container is heated to boil saltwater inside and the
water vapor travels through the condenser or cooling tube,
where it changes back to water that will then be free of salt
and other particles.

EQUIPMENT
Clay, glass, or metal container that can hold your
saltwater and handle extreme heat
Condenser or cooling tube
Catchment system or container for your condensate

Remember to seal any

openings or holes where
the water vapor can
escape. This way, you can
collect as much purified
water as you can.
 FOOD
METHODS TO PREPARE FOOD
SMOKER
1. Separate the hot plate and extract the plate out
2. Trace and drill holes on a pot for placing the hot plate through
3. Assemble the hot plate at the bottom of the pot

The heat from the hot plate would

rise and circulate in the pot which
will heat the food inside the
pot.Smoker used for: smoked mac
and cheese, bacon, chicken

STONE OVEN
This is a quick and easy way to make an oven with heat control.
1. Build a small chamber big enough to fit your meal.
2. Give it three walls and a top, leaving one side open for easy
load and unloading.
3. Stack wood around the stone box and start your fire.
4. Control the stone oven’s temperature by adding or removing
logs to your fire.
 FOOD
METHODS TO PREPARE FOOD
MAKESHIFT GRILL
1. A glowing pile of coals is easier to control than open flames for
cooking. So let your fire burn down to orange flameless coals
before turning your fire into a grill pit.
2. Once you get your bed of coals glowing, find a grate you can
use as a grill. A section of chicken wire or even chain-link fence
will work in a pinch.
3. Place your grate over the coals and let it get hot (to disinfect it)
before placing your food onto the grill. Now cook your meal to
your satisfaction.
 NUTRITION
GUIDELINES
DAILY VALUES
Based on the DV information, a person who eats 2,000
calories per day should consume:
Less than 65 grams or 585 calories from fat
Less than 20 grams or 180 calories from saturated fat
At least 300 grams or 1200 calories from carbohydrates
Approximately 50 grams or 200 calories from protein
Less than 2,400 milligrams of sodium
Less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol
About 25 grams of dietary fiber

RECOMMENDED FOOD
At least 2 meat, 4 vegetable, 4 fruit
Granola bars: they are Nuts: specifically almonds and
packed full of energy and walnuts. Nuts are important for
nutrients, last basically their antioxidants, omega-3s,
forever, and can be packed and protein. And, they are small
for travel extremely well. and easy to transport.
RECOMMENDED FOOD
Canned Meat: Already
cooked/processed and ready to
eat. They will provide good
sustenance and high levels of
protein. Canned meats also come
in easy to open containers and are
often small enough for easy
packing and quick consumption.

Sausages: Pre-cooked,
ready to eat, and highly
portable.

Fruits & Vegetables: Carrots,

eggplant, potatoes, and other
root vegetables last long and are
durable should you have to go
on the run. Apples and citrus
fruits last, too, and don’t need
any refrigeration.

Dried Fruit: Great source of

fiber, anti-oxidants, vitamins and
other nutrients like potassium
and iron. The best fruits are
raisins, cherries, and prunes.
