Survive in Nature
Knowing basic survival skills is very useful if you are in such a situation. If it does, the first and the most important thing you can do is eliminate panic and stay calm. It would be best to sit down, consider, observe your environment and prepare for survival by collecting materials. It is important to stay calm and go with your plan very quickly. Do not wait a few days, to not lose your strength and endurance.
Find a water source
You should use containers or make them using large leaves. Storing rainwater, as much as possible. It is also possible, depending on the ground, that there is a source of water. Drinking water is the most important, because without it is possible to die in a few days.
Detecting signs of animals helps to find needed liquid. Traces of wild animals or circling birds may indicate the source nearby. Traces can probably lead to a watering place. The presence of insects is also one of the indicators. Mosquitoes are a very good indicator that the liquid is in the vicinity, as well as the flies that tend to stay up to 100m near the water. Also most of the insect behaves similarly. Bees build hives 5 to 8 km near the source.
Liquid can be in damp sand or soil. In the arid environment, if you notice moist sand or soil, dig a hole and if you see liquid you're in luck. See plants that contain liquid (cactus, vines or other plants). Cut plants into the ravine and wait for liquid to leak out. Break cactus, open and suck moisture being careful not to use any cactus because you get sick. Avoid drinking juice if it is thick, colored, sour or bitter, sharp or unpleasant in odor.
Snow or ice is also suitable for drinking. It's need to be dissolved and even better to boil. In the Arctic area or an area that has a lot of snow should collect bluish snow. This will prevent the consumption of frozen water that has a high salt content, which could contribute to dehydration. Frozen water has a higher concentration of salt and will appear white or opaque.
In the desert after the rain, sandstone may also have a hole with water. Groundwater tend to be closest to the surface in the early morning, especially in areas with vegetation. If you need to dig wait until the temperature starts to drop. Dig a hole 30cm and if it is dry, go to another place. If you see signs of moisture, continue to dig the hole and increase in diameter. Wait a few hours to collect the liquid and later to save it. If it is difficult to get it use clothing or something similar and then drain in a container. Be quick.
Before dawn, see the dew on the plants and store and drain by clothing. Lack of clothes you can replace with grass formed ball. Dead trees can have a fluid and insects entering the interior are a good sign. Bundle of clothes or grass put on a stick and dip into a liquid if it is difficult to reach and then save it. Look under a rock because there liquid evaporates harder, but may be kept longer than usual. The best time is before dawn. Check before if there are scorpions and other animals below or close to the stone.
You can wrap a plastic bag around some plants, but before that shake a plant. Seal at the end of bag and set the stone to form point for collecting liquid. At the end of the day make sure if you collect the liquid. You can also put a plastic bag on the leaves that hang from the branches of a tree (see example below).
If you are near the sea, sand dunes along the beach can capture the salt water, which is filtered. A thin layer of fresh water sits on top of the heavier salt water.
Look for dried riverbeds, because this is the best place to search. Dig a hole of 50 cm, so that the moist soil is visible. Do not dig a hole in the shade and make sure that this place has the whole day sunlight. Place any plants in the hole. Then put a cup or glass in the plants. You can put the plastic tube to the bottom of the cup to be used your device without having to dismantle it. Put the plastic foil on the entire hole that you dig. With soil or sand seal the foil without holes, because otherwise it will not condense liquid. Place the stone above the center of the cup on the foil. The foil must not touch the glass, otherwise the liquid will not drain into the cup. Use more holes until they dry out (see example below).
Another way is to eat the fruit of the cactus. Collect fruit carefully and try not to injure yourself. Put fruit on fire between 30 and 60sec to burn spines. It is important to know that a cactus can be toxic. One type is useful and is located in the southwest of United States and northwest of Mexico. He is half a meter in diameter and has a long spikes that end curved. It may have red or yellow flowers at the top, or yellow fruits. It grows in the ducts or gravel paths. Cut the upper part and pull out the white mushy part and squeeze the liquid. Use cactus as a last resort.
Collection of fluid from the root mallee eucalyptus in Australia. Each looks like eucalyptus grove of small and medium sized tree that grows out of an underground plant. Dig up the root where you will see a bulge or cracks in the soil, or go to about 2 to 3 meters from the tree. Promising roots are the size of man's wrist. Pull out the length of the root, cut it close to the trunk. Cut into pieces of 50 to 100 cm. Place the roots to the end of the bowl to drain. Look for additional roots. There are usually 4-8 near the surface around each mallee eucalyptus.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and make sure foil is not too narrow or too wide in relation to the container. Foil covered container must be tightly sealed to the container and should not be holes. Use a tighter foil that will not tear apart. Put a stone or a weight in the center of the foil over the glass. The foil must not touch the glass. That foil has a slope and drinking liquids will be easier to get into the cup.
After all, put your dish directly into the sun. The sun will heat the liquid and cause condensation of water. Fresh drops of liquid will drip into the glass and it will allow you to slowly collect fresh liquid. This method takes several hours. While having enough fluid in a glass you can drink it. The salt is removed and the water is safe for consumption (see example below).
Find a plant that is plentiful. Of course, you don't want to go through the rigorous process of testing a plant if there's not a lot of it to eat. Avoid ever having to use this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly. Even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Human body can go for days without food (three or four weeks) and you're better off being hungry than being poisoned.
Do not eat or drink anything other than pure water about 8 hours before the test. Rub the plant or fruit over your fingers (above your thumb) and wait for the reaction to appear (if it does, do not continue with the test). If there is no reaction, rub the plant or fruit under your lips to 3min and wait for the reaction. If you put a plant or fruit in your mouth, put it on your tongue and without chewing hold it for 15 minutes. Spit out if a reaction occurs and do not continue with the test. If everything is okay, continue to chew (but not swallow) and wait 15min. If a reaction occurs, do not continue with the test. After that, swallow a small part and wait for 8 hours. Do not eat at that time and drink lots of water. If you feel sick (at any stage of the test), force yourself to vomit and drink plenty of water. If in all steps there's no reaction, you can eat.
Grass
All grass is edible. It is not advisable for those with a weak stomach. Anything under 15cm is easy to chew and digest. The flavor ranges from intensely sweet to mild to bitter. Grass that's over 15cm can either be chewed for juice and spit out.
Dandelion (taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion flower is the best part and young unfolding greens in the center are great raw. For instance, the entire plant can be steamed. Pick it off the stem and with your fingers pinch off the green base of the flower. It must not be white sap, because it's very bitter. You're left with a sweet, meaty, filling wild food that can be found in incredible abundance. You can use it for tea.
Chickweed (stellaria media)
The entire plant can be eaten raw and it has a sweet, grassy flavor. If you want to avoid the stems and eat mostly the new growth, pluck off the tops and eat those.
Cress (cardamine spp)
This is one of the many wild plants in the mustard family. For instance, it's common in cities. When young, the leaves are excellent raw (with a mild mustard flavor). As they get older the full plants can be steamed, just as you would prepare mustard greens at home.
Placing a stick in some level ground and make a mark at the end of it's shadow. In essence, this is west mark. After some time (about 15 minutes), make another mark as the shadow moves. This is east mark. Between these two points draw a straight line and you have west to east. Standing with west mark to your left and east to your right, faces you approximately north.
Navigate with Vegetation
In the northern hemisphere, growth should be more lush on a southern facing side of a tree. Vegetation and moisture on slopes facing north will be cooler and damper since they receive less Sun. In the winter, southern slopes will end up losing snow off trees first.
Navigate with Stars
In the northern hemisphere, north star is 1° degree off north and is the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper constellation (near to similar Big Dipper, the lower left). An imaginary line is your guide.
If you stand so that wind blowing in your back and looking at the clouds moving in the sky:
1. If they are moving straight across the observer, coming or going or standing, weather will remain the same.
2. If they are moving from left to right, the weather will be worse.
3. If they are moving from right to left, the weather will improve.
If you are in the southern hemisphere, it is the exact opposite!
- Cirrocumulus (Cc) - small ice clouds are similar to "sheep". In fact, composed of small, white spots, like the sky is covered with lace. They are arranged in a more or less regular stripes or groups. The width of the individual elements of the cloud does not exceed 1 degree. Through the holes one can see blue sky, causing the cloud may appear as a network or honeycomb. Not giving precipitation.
- Cirrostratus (Cs) - airy and icy, like a milky-white or disaggregated cloudy shroud. The sky is covered in part or whole. Because they are thin on them appears halo (circle - around the Sun or the Moon). This is a set of optical phenomena in the form of rings, onions, cross or luminous points (false Sun).
- Altocumulus (Ac) - white and gray that mix water and ice. The middle parts are thicker and thicker and darker look. Quite shaded, stocky "sheep", round or cylindrical. More or less regular schedule. Some are wide from 1 to 5 degrees, significantly wider than cirrocumulus. Precipitation does not fall.
- Altostratus (As) - mixed of water and ice partially or completely cover the sky as a humdrum, or slightly corded or even layer. So thick that usually completely cover the Sun and not cause a halo phenomenon. Very reliably announces clouds coming from the west. Slowly decreases and brings rainfall.
- Nimbostratus (Ns) - snow white clouds of water ice and completely cover the Sun as a monochrome, gray or dark gray, fully compacted layer. Below it is usually little clouds get ragged. Typical cloud from which precipitation falls quiet and uniform rain drizzles or permanent snow.
- Stratocumulus (Sc) - from gray to white, cloddy-layered clouds, composed of water droplets which the base is still dark. Ball and conical masses can be cylindrical or rounded. Some parts may be wider than 5 degrees. We include them in the water clouds.
- Stratus (St) - water clouds covering the entire sky, as a uniform gray layer with nearly uniform lower limit. When are flat clouds and Sun shines through them, clearly see their outline and there is no halo phenomena. Stratus, which is located on the ground are called fog.
- Cumulus (Cu) - composed of water droplets, lumpy and sometimes torn. Most occur in a sharp and lumpy shapes but they seem to swell. Most often grow very high. They can be compared to a giant cauliflower. Parts of the clouds that the Sun shines are brightly white. The base is horizontal and very dark. It is located in the shade. It belongs to the most beautiful clouds.
- Cumulonimbus (Cb) - heavy and dense water clouds, which extend in height. We call them storm clouds when they freeze the upper part. The upper part of that giant ice clump clouds usually flattened and resembling the plume. It can be stripped or fibrous. Cumulonimbus in the upper part is similar to anvil.
- Medium (Ac, As) - mixed elements of ice and water at temperatures between -10 ° C and - 35 ° C.
- Low (Ns, Sc, St, Cu, Pb) - water elements with temperatures of -10 ° C to more than 0 ° C and sharply limited.
These fall even in:
- Stratiform, which have a horizontal measure much larger than vertical
- Cumuliform, that have more vertical than horizontal measurements
- Orographic, which occur under the influence of relievo (wave clouds)
A distinction in clouds is also phenomena such as:
- Nacreous clouds - have a rainbow of colors and can be found at altitudes of 22 to 30km
- Night clouds - shining at night, the height of 80 to 90km
- Virgil (stripes) - occur in summer, when rain fails to reach the ground, but immediately evaporates due to the unsaturation of the atmosphere with water vapor
- Halo - occurs when cirrus who often like shroud cover the sky and on them appear rare and striking celestial phenomenon, the ring around the Sun or Moon. It occurs due to refraction and reflection of light on ice crystals in high layered clouds. The ring is usually pale or badly stained. In the old days people considered him a poor celestial sign, which announces the plague, fires and war.
– Running
– Push-ups
– Abs
– Raising the whole body with the help of arms attached bars
– Training for 7 minutes
Training for a period of 7 minutes needed a chair (or something similar), a wall and seven minutes of time. It takes to practice hard to feel pain. The exercise is intense or around the maximum power and the body are produced molecular changes in muscle similar to those that occur after a few hours of running. Between exercises it is 10 seconds of rest. After each series of exercises muscles have time to catch some air, replenish the oxygen. For each exercise should be equally separated 30 seconds.
Make a call for help
On big visible place make S.O.S. sign for help. Plot the letters in sand or gravel if possible. Even better would be to make a mark with the help of the leaves or wood, so the sign will be time consuming and easier to see.

Make a shelter
It is important to remain above the ground to avoid snakes or other. Shelter should be done in the open and cover it well. Being soaked by rain can lead to hypothermia, no matter where you are and at any time of the year. If possible, use a netting to protect against mosquitoes.

Avoid injury
Healing of wounds on yourself is much harder than avoid injury, especially if it turns out to be septic. If possible, try to make shoes, avoid walking barefoot or do unnecessary risk.

How to find or make water
Search areas that have green leaves. In fact, green areas in the desert, the plains, valleys or cracks can indicate the presence of water. The trees (poplar, willow, sycamore, eucalyptus or other), or a wide leaves low to the ground can indicate a stream or other source. The water is moving towards the lowest possible point. Rainwater is collected in these areas. In the mountain area should be checked at the foot of cliffs or large rocks. Dig where is hard ground. After rain, sand stone can also have a liquid hole.
Detecting signs of animals helps to find needed liquid. Traces of wild animals or circling birds may indicate the source nearby. Traces can probably lead to a watering place. The presence of insects is also one of the indicators. Mosquitoes are a very good indicator that the liquid is in the vicinity, as well as the flies that tend to stay up to 100m near the water.

You can wrap a plastic bag around some plants, but before that shake a plant. Seal at the end of bag and set the stone to form point for collecting liquid. At the end of the day make sure if you collect the liquid. You can also put a plastic bag on the leaves that hang from the branches of a tree (see example below).

There are usually 4-8 near the surface around each mallee eucalyptus.
Turn salt water into drinking water
Instil salt water in the container, but do not fill to the top, because it will need space to salt water do not mix with the sweet. The container should be waterproof and should have enough sunlight. Slowly place the cup in the center of larger container. To prevent ejection of glass put weight on the bottom and check if the glass sticking out of the liquid.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and make sure foil is not too narrow or too wide in relation to the container. Foil covered container must be tightly sealed to the container and should not be holes. Use a tighter foil that will not tear apart. Put a stone or a weight in the center of the foil over the glass. The foil must not touch the glass. That foil has a slope and drinking liquids will be easier to get into the cup.

Fresh drops of liquid will drip into the glass and it will allow you to slowly collect fresh liquid. This method takes several hours. While having enough fluid in a glass you can drink it. The salt is removed and the water is safe for consumption (see example below).
Examine plants before use if you do not know whether they are toxic or unusable. In fact, examine only one part of the plant at once. The leaves, stems, roots, buds and flowers may have different effects. Choose a piece that produces fluid when it break. Discard plants with a strong sour smell if you have other options. Do not eat for eight hours before the test. Touch the plant to the inside of your wrist or elbow or outside of the lips, to test for a reaction.
Rivers, streams, lakes, caves are other ways to searching water. With this method it is important to find liquid that flows and is transparent or clear. It must be boiled or need to have water purification tablets. There is another method of treatment and this was filtered off using a strong filter. Keep in mind, as the liquid is dirtier, it is longer time needed for purification. Repeat the process several times. Always it can boil, at least 1min and if you are at altitudes above 2000m then cook at least 3min. The diseases associated with contaminated water are cholera, dysentery and tifoid.

Other tips related to water
Reduce activities if is hot and if you are thirsty (to reduce sweating). In fact, avoid the wind, avoid eating, keep your skin covered and stay in the shade. If possible, drink at least 2l per day. While finding the source, drink as much as you can and the rest take it with you. If source is with less water it will be cleaner. If you temporarily can not find the source, you can safely drink your own urine. Although it is not very tasty, it will not kill you. It could mean the difference between life and death.How to find food in nature
In a humid region, the majority of wild food will be in the Sun (whether clearing or edge). In a dry region (southwest), most of the food will be near water. Any place that is regularly cleared is loaded with weeds such as dandelion, chickweed, plantain, wild onion, violets, wood sorrel, henbit, clover, dead-nettle and sow thistle. All are 100% edible. It is also possible to find various edible berries and wild fruit on trees or low bushes. It is possible to find blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, wild strawberries, cranberry and there are mushrooms, wild beans, wild potatoes, wild asparagus and cornel.Evidence of worms, parasites or insects indicates that the plant is rotten, especially if the organism has vacated the plant.
Find a plant that is plentiful. Of course, you don't want to go through the rigorous process of testing a plant if there's not a lot of it to eat. Avoid ever having to use this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly. Even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Human body can go for days without food (three or four weeks) and you're better off being hungry than being poisoned.
Do not eat or drink anything other than pure water about 8 hours before the test. Rub the plant or fruit over your fingers (above your thumb) and wait for the reaction to appear (if it does, do not continue with the test). If there is no reaction, rub the plant or fruit under your lips to 3min and wait for the reaction. If you put a plant or fruit in your mouth, put it on your tongue and without chewing hold it for 15 minutes. Spit out if a reaction occurs and do not continue with the test. If everything is okay, continue to chew (but not swallow) and wait 15min. If a reaction occurs, do not continue with the test. After that, swallow a small part and wait for 8 hours. Do not eat at that time and drink lots of water. If you feel sick (at any stage of the test), force yourself to vomit and drink plenty of water. If in all steps there's no reaction, you can eat.
Examples of edible plants:
Grass
All grass is edible. It is not advisable for those with a weak stomach. Anything under 15cm is easy to chew and digest. The flavor ranges from intensely sweet to mild to bitter. Grass that's over 15cm can either be chewed for juice and spit out.
Dandelion (taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion flower is the best part and young unfolding greens in the center are great raw. For instance, the entire plant can be steamed. Pick it off the stem and with your fingers pinch off the green base of the flower. It must not be white sap, because it's very bitter. You're left with a sweet, meaty, filling wild food that can be found in incredible abundance. You can use it for tea.
Chickweed (stellaria media)
The entire plant can be eaten raw and it has a sweet, grassy flavor. If you want to avoid the stems and eat mostly the new growth, pluck off the tops and eat those.
Wood Sorrel (oxalis spp)
The whole plant is great raw and it has a nice refreshing acid flavor. In addition, the flowers of the weeds are yellow. Many varieties grow in the wild with pinkish flowers. If you eat it, try the stem, but not the red part as it and the leaves are bitter. This is a plant extremely common not only in lawns and cleared areas, but also deep in the wilderness. It should not be consumed in great quantity as it contains relatively high levels of oxalic acid. This acid (it's vital for humans), may cause the gastrointestinal upset or illness when consumed in large amounts.
Henbit (lamium amplexicaule)
Plant is entirely edible raw. It's a Lamium, very mild mint. It has a sweet, grassy flavor. Pluck off the tops to avoid the stems. This plant will form huge carpets in places, very early in the year, with an understory of chickweed beneath it.
Dead-nettle (lamium purpureum)
Another Lamium, just like Henbit. It's eaten the same way. It will also form huge carpets covering the ground (especially in spring).
Another Lamium, just like Henbit. It's eaten the same way. It will also form huge carpets covering the ground (especially in spring).
Plantain (plantago lanceolata)
Young leaves in the center are good raw. They have a slight salty flavor. There's both a common and an English plantain, that are very similar.
Young leaves in the center are good raw. They have a slight salty flavor. There's both a common and an English plantain, that are very similar.
Sow thistle (sonchus spp)
The young leaves are decent. Of course, treat it like Dandelion and try to avoid the bitter latex sap. Sow Thistle has excellent yellow flowers, very similar to Dandelion. They are prepared the same way and eaten raw. Unlike Dandelion, Sow Thistle has an upright stalk and a more prickly-looking thistle-like appearance.
Wild onion (allium spp)
Very common in areas that are mowed. A very mild onion that is excellent raw. Harvest bunches of it. Use it just like scallions.
This is one of the many wild plants in the mustard family. For instance, it's common in cities. When young, the leaves are excellent raw (with a mild mustard flavor). As they get older the full plants can be steamed, just as you would prepare mustard greens at home.

How to determine the weather forecast with wind
Weather by the wind, that helps in most cases (but not all, because weather is complicated).If you stand so that wind blowing in your back and looking at the clouds moving in the sky:
1. If they are moving straight across the observer, coming or going or standing, weather will remain the same.
2. If they are moving from left to right, the weather will be worse.
3. If they are moving from right to left, the weather will improve.
If you are in the southern hemisphere, it is the exact opposite!
Types of clouds:
- Cirrus (Ci) - ragged appearance with white silky gloss, fiber, icy or fluffy look. Thread are sometimes flat, irregular and curved or intricately intertwined. At the end of the day or just after sunset they change color to orange, yellow, pink and then become gray. Never give precipitation.- Cirrocumulus (Cc) - small ice clouds are similar to "sheep". In fact, composed of small, white spots, like the sky is covered with lace. They are arranged in a more or less regular stripes or groups. The width of the individual elements of the cloud does not exceed 1 degree. Through the holes one can see blue sky, causing the cloud may appear as a network or honeycomb. Not giving precipitation.

- Stratus (St) - water clouds covering the entire sky, as a uniform gray layer with nearly uniform lower limit. When are flat clouds and Sun shines through them, clearly see their outline and there is no halo phenomena. Stratus, which is located on the ground are called fog.
- Cumulus (Cu) - composed of water droplets, lumpy and sometimes torn. Most occur in a sharp and lumpy shapes but they seem to swell. Most often grow very high. They can be compared to a giant cauliflower. Parts of the clouds that the Sun shines are brightly white. The base is horizontal and very dark. It is located in the shade. It belongs to the most beautiful clouds.
- Cumulonimbus (Cb) - heavy and dense water clouds, which extend in height. We call them storm clouds when they freeze the upper part. The upper part of that giant ice clump clouds usually flattened and resembling the plume. It can be stripped or fibrous. Cumulonimbus in the upper part is similar to anvil.
Clouds can be classified into three height floors:
- High (C, Cc, Cs) - completely ice elements, with temperatures lower than -35 ° C and are not sharply limited.- Medium (Ac, As) - mixed elements of ice and water at temperatures between -10 ° C and - 35 ° C.
- Low (Ns, Sc, St, Cu, Pb) - water elements with temperatures of -10 ° C to more than 0 ° C and sharply limited.
These fall even in:
- Stratiform, which have a horizontal measure much larger than vertical
- Cumuliform, that have more vertical than horizontal measurements
- Orographic, which occur under the influence of relievo (wave clouds)
A distinction in clouds is also phenomena such as:
- Nacreous clouds - have a rainbow of colors and can be found at altitudes of 22 to 30km
- Night clouds - shining at night, the height of 80 to 90km
- Virgil (stripes) - occur in summer, when rain fails to reach the ground, but immediately evaporates due to the unsaturation of the atmosphere with water vapor
- Halo - occurs when cirrus who often like shroud cover the sky and on them appear rare and striking celestial phenomenon, the ring around the Sun or Moon. It occurs due to refraction and reflection of light on ice crystals in high layered clouds. The ring is usually pale or badly stained. In the old days people considered him a poor celestial sign, which announces the plague, fires and war.
Stay in good physical condition
Recommended exercises in Training:– Running
– Push-ups
– Abs
– Raising the whole body with the help of arms attached bars
– Training for 7 minutes
Training for a period of 7 minutes needed a chair (or something similar), a wall and seven minutes of time. It takes to practice hard to feel pain. The exercise is intense or around the maximum power and the body are produced molecular changes in muscle similar to those that occur after a few hours of running. Between exercises it is 10 seconds of rest. After each series of exercises muscles have time to catch some air, replenish the oxygen. For each exercise should be equally separated 30 seconds.
