How To Survive In The Wilderness
By:Asia Sentoria Maxwell
Location
Make sure you let somebody know were you are going at all times.It could be sister,brothers,mom,dad,friends anybody.Let somebody know were you are going because you don't want to get lost in the woods.
Shelter
Make sure you bring a tent and sleeping bag or you wont have a good nights sleep.The most important thing about going out in to the wilderness is to have shelter.A tent will be great to sleep in cause you have somewhere to sleep for the night.A sleeping bag can go inside you tent or you can just sleep in the sleeping bag outside the tent. Either way your gonna get a good nights sleep.
GPS or Compass?
You need to always bring a GPS that doesn't run on 4G or a compass because your gonna need one of them to find your way in and out of the woods.Make sure their both working right.You don't want to bring a broken GPS or compass.
Food
Always make sure you bring food,snacks and something to eat them with.If not you will be eating bugs,flowers and other animals,which aren't that bad.How do I know?I don't.Cause I will never forget my snacks.I love to eat. Alot!
Clothing
Make sure you bring an extra pare of clothes!If you don't want to wear the same clothes everyday your in the woods my suggestion is to bring a pair of clothes.
Fire
I don't know how to make a fire but,I do know what u can use to make one if your staying the night in the woods.You could rather rub to sticks together to make a fire. Ps: You will be there for day trying t make one with to sticks..or you can just bring matches or lighters. I prefer waterproof matches.I didn't even know that was a thing until I learned about it in class.
Animals
Be aware of any wild animals while you are in the woods.Some of the animals could be harmless but know that if you go and try to mess with the animal it might think your trying to hurt it and defined it self by hurting you.So stay away from wild animals while your in the woods
Survice
If you have a cell phone try and find a spot were there's service.If you find a service spot you can call for help our call somebody like a family member to tell them your OK cause you don't want to scare them half to death. Having a cell phone can come in handy at all times
SOS
If you get lost in the woods and don't know your way out your survival plan is SOS.Try and use and blanket or a shirt to make smoke out of your fire to make a smoke bubble in the air so somebody can find were you are.Try and find pebbles and make an SOS sigh on the ground so if rescures come by they will see your sign
Other People
There might be other people lurking around in the woods trying to find a way out just like you.Try and find any other person your groups of people to be with so you wont be alone in the woods and they might know a way out or you could possible help them out
