WILDERNESS

Many people enjoy travelling through wild and deserted landscapes, but few expect to end up

in a genuine of survival situation. The unexpected occasionally happens, however, so you

should be prepared. Imagine finding yourself in the middle of a wilderness with a broken-down

jeep and hardly and food and water. What should your priorities be? Should you stay with your

vehicle and hope to be rescued? Or should you search for civilisation and risk getting even

more lost? Should you spend time searching for water or food first? Or should you postpone

worrying about food and water until you have managed to find or build a shelter? If you are

not sure, keep reading - this article could save your life!

Priority 1 Shelter

Do not put off (make) a shelter - it should be your first priority.

Try (enlarge) an existing, natural shelter, such as a hole in the ground below a fallen

tree. If you happen (be) near a rocky coast, build a shelter and cover it with wood

from the beach. I you are on the move, stop (build) your shelter while it is still light.

Priority 2 Water

If you fail (find) water, you will only survive for about three days (whereas you can

survive for weeks without food). If there is no rain, try (walk) through vegetation early

in the morning to collect moisture in clothing.

Avoid (drink) water that looks or smells bad.

Priority 3 Fire

Fire has many uses. It makes food more appetising. If you can't face (eat) raw worms,

boil them in water to make a nourishing soup! Fire protects against dangerous animals, since

many will not dare (approach) it. And you can also use it for signalling to rescuers -

before they give up (look) for you !

Priority 4 Food

It is quite easy to get food in teh wild, if you know where to look. Many survival books suggest

(eat) a small amount of unknown plants to test if they are poisonous. However, we do not

recommend (do) this, since some plants are so poisonous that even a very small

amount can cause serious health problems.
