While hiking or fishing, swimming in the river or picking mushrooms and berries in the forest, it will never be superfluous to know how to behave in extreme situations. No one is ever safe from unpleasant and sometimes dangerous events. And if something happened to you, or even better - to prevent it, remember the tips for survival, they can be very useful.
Instructions
Step 1
In general, every person for any advance outside the city should have a backpack prepared in a certain way, precisely in advance and carefully, so that later it does not turn out that the most necessary things are simply not there. Spend one day on this, collect all the necessary things that can be stored in a duffel bag permanently or for a very long time.
Step 2
Collect a first aid kit, it must contain a bandage, iodine, antiseptic, pain reliever and activated charcoal. This is the minimum, here you can add a rubber band, a plaster, repellents, these things will not take up much space, and they weigh a little. Antibiotics, validol, antipyretics and antihistamines will not interfere.
Step 3
Going to the forest for mushrooms or berries? All the same, the complete set should contain a fishing tackle wound on a reel - a fishing line with a hook, a sinker and a float, tested for buoyancy, assembled. The rod can be cut in the forest, one has only to look for a fairly straight and long trunk of a young hazel shoot. All this can come in handy in case you get lost, a couple of fish fried on a fire for dinner can refresh you at the right time.
Step 4
You can easily get rid of causative agents of various diseases in water from a river, puddle, lake without boiling if you put berries, bark or leaves of mountain ash in it for 40-60 minutes, which usually grows on the edges of the forest. If there is not enough firewood for a kindled fire, you can very quickly brew tea in a pot or an aluminum mug in the following way: use a stick to collect several burning coals on a piece of birch bark, pour them into cold water with tea leaves, the tea will instantly brew!
Step 5
If you have to spend the night in nature, and there is a river or lake with a sandy beach nearby, light a fire on the sand - at night rake it to the side, put up a tent at this place, sprinkle it with cold sand a little, you can also lie down here in a sleeping bag.
At night, to protect against mosquitoes, burn a branch of a juniper in the tent, throw a few cigarettes into the fire, the smoke from them scares away insects. Bird cherry and tansy will also help, but the tent should then be ventilated to avoid headaches.
