Adventure Education Survival Skills Part 2

The 5 Basic Survival Skills Acquiring survival skills is an ongoing process that will last for your entire life. As your survival expertise grows the knowledge and abilities you gain are often useful in other areas. [Prepare ahead of time, the art of ingenuity and inventiveness.]

The 5 Basic Survival Skills (cont.) The possible environments and situations you could find yourself in are innumerable. Although each situation has its particular requirements for successfully surviving, in the final analysis it is mastery of five basic survival skills that are essential. Proficiency and preparedness in these 5 basic skills will give you the edge and put you on your way toward becoming a talented survivor.

First Basic Skill - Fire Knowing how to build a fire is the best survival skill you can have. Fire provides warmth, light, and comfort so you get on with the business of survival. Fire keeps away the creatures that go bump in the night and so you can have the peace of mind and rest you need. Fire will cook your food and purify your water. Fire will dry your clothing and even aid in the making of tools and keeping pesky insects at bay. Fire and smoke can be used for signaling very long distances.

First Basic Skill – Fire (cont.) Always have at least two, and preferably three, ways of making a fire at you immediate disposal. With waterproof matches, a butane lighter, and a magnesium fire starter or fire steel you should be able to create a fire anytime anywhere no matter how adverse the conditions. So the lesson here is to learn the art of fire craft. Practice and become an expert. Your ability to create a fire is perhaps the most visible mark of an experienced survivor.

Second Basic Survival Skill – Shelter Shelter protects your body from the outside elements. heat, cold, rain, snow, the sun, and wind - insects & creatures that seek to do you harm. The survival expert has several layers of shelter to think about. The first layer of shelter is the clothing you choose to wear. The next layer of shelter is the one you may have to build yourself. Before you are in need of making a survival shelter, be sure to practice and experiment with a variety of materials and survival scenarios on a regular basis. Should the need arise you will be glad you did.

Third Basic Survival Skill – Signaling Allows you to make contact with people who can rescue you without having to be in actual physical contact with them. There are a variety of ways to signal for help. fire and smoke, flashlights, bright colored clothing and other markers, reflective mirrors, whistles, and personal locator beacons. Three of anything is considered a signal for help: 3 gunshots, 3 blows on a whistle, three sticks in the shape of a triangle. In a pinch, your ingenuity in devising a way to signal potential help could very well save your life.

Fourth Basic Survival Skill Food and Water Whenever you plan an excursion be sure to always bring extra food and water. know how to ration your water and food find more in the environment You can go without food, but living without water for even a few days will cause your efficiency to drop dramatically. If at all possible, boil any water you find. Filtering or chemically treating is second best.

Fifth Basic Survival Skill – First Aid Always bring along your first aid kit and a space blanket. Most injuries you are likely to encounter in the wilderness are relatively minor scrapes, cuts, bruises, and burns. Larger injuries are going to need better facilities than that which you have at your disposal, which means you will need outside help.

Conclusion Panic is your number one enemy when you are in any emergency situation, be it injured, lost, or stranded. What you need in these situations is first aid for the mind. Think STOP:SitThink Observe Plan Your best defense in any emergency is your ability to think and make correct decisions.
