# 2 IF You are being hunted You DON'T want to leave a trace of Your passing that way & dogs can pick up on that scent from a Long ways off..as well as other animals.....

IF possible make a Big X in the snow or sand or loose dirt use Your shovel or You can break branches & make one Thats an international distress signal that serves to locate You from the air & ground

IF You have to walk in freezing weather cup Your hands to protect them & contain the heat, There Are packets on the market to keep Your hands warm , look in the sporting goods department

Keep in mind there ARE people looking for You so make it as easy as possible for them to find You....
IF You are lost in the woods look for an animal trail, they"ll Usually lead You to water

The recent story of James Kim (A Real Hero!) has shown us what we need to survive under very adverse conditions
It is recommended by survival experts that You always carry with You
Candles, Big ones with a long life,
Bright Flourescent tape It serves as a notice to searchers also You can wrap it around You for heat
PAY ATTENTION!! To where You ve been on the road in case You have to walk back that way look for landmarks, Big trees or water or water towers.
IF You see or hear livestock such as chickens, cows,pigs,horses then more than likely theres a farm nearby somewhere
STOP & LISTEN! every so often!
ALWAYS check Your backtrail!
Flashlight with extra batteries
A loud whistle to attract attention
Bottled water if possible
A lot of people perish each year because they werent PREPARED!
PANIC is Your Worst enemy!
Refresh Often
You Need Daily exercise 10 puhups 10 setups
Usually, rescue people can find You in the first 48 hours IF You stick with Your vehicle It provides a shelter & warmth
Let someone know where You re going & when You should be there
In freezing conditions You can survive for three HOURS without shelter
Three DAYS without water or liquid
three WEEKS without food
Carry blankets & matches or lighters & a can of lighter fluid
Smoke can be seen for miles in the air
Damp wood sends off more smoke
History has shown us that most people who get lost or perish have walked in a big circle....
IF You are lost take a short break & sit down & THINK! Look around You! Watch for helicopters or planes or hiking people searching for You...
Stick with Your vehicle!
IF You re in winter country dig a Desperation Trench just big enough for Your body....If You make the walls two foot thick & poke a hole for ventilation a candle will put off enough heat for You to Survive Your body heat will do the rest
You can cover it with brush or pine boughs or any limbs with leaves or brush You can find
Always keep the Faith You WILL make it!
You are trying to SURVIVE! so STOP & THINK!!
Look & watch for Caves
IF You have questions You can always ask or look in a library on survival Techniques or goto search or Google & type
Survival or Survival Supplies
Folks,IF You have to leave in a hurry or IF you're caught out in an emergency situation You CAN survive with a Big knife & a book of matches!
To waterproof matches, get a box of canning wax (paraffin) it usually come in bars put one in a cake pan & melt it down then dip the matches in it fully to cover the head of the match & stick
You can always use the stick part for kindling
. IF You're preparing to travel be sure to pack a box of STRIKE ANYWHERE kitchen matches,that way if You get into a rainy situation Be Patient, it Will stop eventually & You may not have a dry surface to strike Your matches from- You can use a zipper
IF You DON'T want to be found - use small dry kindling ( little smoke)
Folks, most people who get lost in the woods develop dysentery (the runs) because of change of diet.To stop dysentery peel off some bark from a Red Oak tree & boil it & strain it through a cloth & make a tea of it, this will stop the dysentery strain through a shirt or cloth if You have one,,,
IF You re near a stream with nothing to eat or fishing equipment break off or cut a limb from a tree & use the forked ends as a spear to cacth fish You Must be patient to do this & No one is successfull the first time so Keep Trying!
You Have to Have Liquids so If You have none with You its alright to drink from a stream take a couple sips then wait a minute If nothing bad happens then drink some more
Liquids keep the bladder clean where germs hybernate.... NEVER GIVE UP!!
