HOW TO SURVIVE IN A FOREST
It is impossible to know when you might find yourself stranded in a forest. It is important that you be prepared, should such a situation arise. If you know what to do, you can survive in a forest without much trouble, but if you are not prepared, survival can be much less likely. Hopefully, you have some survival gear with you but this article assumes you do not.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) It is completely natural to be afraid when you are faced with a survival situation. However, if you are going to survive in the forest, you must keep your thoughts clear and make sure you are not held captive by fear. The more your fear overcomes you, the lower your chances of survival are as your mind is going to become clouded and panic may set in.
2) Obviously, cold is one of the primary dangers you face when you must survive in the forest. It is crucial that you do all you can to stay dry and keep your body temperature up. Never stop to sleep or quit moving around unless you have appropriate shelter.
3) You are surrounded by wood and kindling. The four parts of creating a fire are spark, tinder, fuel and oxygen. You are surrounded by the materials you need to start a fire. The most difficult part of starting a fire is the spark. Obviously, if you have a lighter or matches, this is not a problem. But if not, you can attempt to use a dry narrow pointed stick and a dry flat piece of wood. Make as much friction as possible by rubbing the pointed stick along the flat piece with some kindling in the direct area of the friction. This requires a great deal of work, but if done correctly, a fire can be started. Keep working at it until you start a fire, because without a fire it is going to be very difficult to survive in the forest.
4) Caves and overhangs make for good shelter, but most likely you must build your own shelter. The easiest way to provide protection from the elements is to find a fallen tree and cover it with other branches and brush so that you can stay in the natural pit underneath the tree trunk. Shelter is a very important aspect of being able to survive in the forest.
5) If you can build a stable shelter and start a fire you can survive in the forest for several days. If you are lost, it is better to stay put and wait for rescue. If you know where you are, travel as far as possible during the day while making sure you stop long enough before dark so that you can erect another shelter.
