The development of technology has led to the fact that it is increasingly difficult for a person to be alone with nature. Even in the most remote village, you can pick up a cell phone signal. But if you do find yourself in an emergency, such as a vehicle crash or accident, do not panic. Survival in extreme conditions is primarily a psychological issue.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are sure they will be looking for you, do not move away from the crash site. It will be much faster to find you. Plus, the wreckage of the vehicle will provide you with better protection. Permanent parking is easier to adapt for long-term survival.
Step 2
Make sure you are not hurt. Your condition is the resource that will help you hold out until help arrives. Then take care of providing for the simplest needs: protection and food.
Step 3
Conduct an audit of the property. Check your pockets, bag. Take into account the amount of food and water and calculate the consumption rates. Make sure your clothes and shoes are in order.
Step 4
In winter, provide wind protection first. The combination of strong winds with low temperatures is very dangerous. Build a windbreak from snow blocks, cut bricks of the desired size from the dense crust. Laying such blocks in a spiral, the Eskimos build an igloo.
Step 5
Sitting in an unheated shelter, be prepared for your hands and feet to be the first to cool. Take off your shoes, put mittens on your feet, and wrap them in a sweater or any blanket. Constantly wiggle your toes, bend and unbend your ankle joints. Hide your hands under your arms or on your stomach. Get up every 10-15 minutes, rub your body and face with your hands, do squats.
Step 6
If you are in the forest, be sure to make a flooring of spruce or pine branches in the snow. This will keep your clothes from getting wet.
Step 7
Snow does not quench your thirst at all, as it contains very few minerals. It is practically a distillate and will make your thirst even more intense.
Step 8
Watch insects and birds. Flies do not fly away from the reservoir further than 90 meters. Granivorous birds, for example, pigeons, always fly to the watering hole in the morning and evening. If the pigeon is flying low and straight, follow it, it will surely lead you to the source of moisture.
Step 9
Try to get a spark by carefully connecting the opposite poles of a battery from a cell phone or any battery. Use the wires from the headphones to connect. In sunny weather, fire is easy to get with the lens of the glasses.
Step 10
Use dry flammable things as tinder: toilet paper, cotton wool, threads, dry moss, bird feathers, dry needles. Then add small chips, shavings, dry cones, thick cardboard. Last but not least, add whatever will give you good warmth.
Step 11
Do not try to find food in the winter forest unless you are a survival expert. Don't waste energy, you will need it to heat your body.
Step 12
All snakes, except sea snakes, are edible. You can also eat frogs and lizards. Previously, amphibians must be rid of their skins. Cut the raw fish into thin strips and dry. Don't eat caviar and milk.
Step 13
If you are not planning to hunt, try to stomp loudly when walking on the grass. Take a stick and rustle it in front of you to avoid being attacked by a disturbed snake.
Step 14
In the desert, never take off your clothes. It is a reliable protection against overheating and dehydration. Do not forget, it is enough to raise the body temperature by only 7 degrees for the brain to be irrevocably destroyed.
Step 15
You can only travel in the desert at night; during the day, hide from the sun under an awning or in the shade of large stones.
Step 16
In the heat, dig a hole about 40 cm deep in the ground. Put a mug or bowl inside. Cover the hole with plastic wrap, put a pebble or a few coins in the center. By the morning, due to condensation, there will be about a tablespoon of water in the mug. Not much, but this moisture can save your life.
Step 17
You should only budge in the event of an impending natural disaster, or you know exactly in which direction the nearest housing is located. Any adult can move for 20 hours. With an average speed of 5 km, this is a very decent distance.
Step 18
If you come across a stream along the way, always go downstream. On the banks of the river there is much more chance of meeting people.
