With the temperature rising on the planet every year with record highs broken on a regular basis, one must learn to adapt doing strenuous tasks in the heat to survive. Most people can’t do what they normally can in extreme heat.
If you cast a line with a hook and there is no bait, chances are you will not catch a fish. So how do you find bait?
Fish is a nutrient rich food and protein source. You do need to cook it well, especially if you catch it from a questionable water source as it may have viruses, bacteria, worms, and parasites. Catching fish is a sustainable way to survive. Should you know at least one method to catch fish? Absolutely!
The average temperature on our planet is rising every year. Without getting political about the matter, the fact is, the average temperature on the planet has risen over the last 40+ years.
There are so many swim strokes for swimming, but which is the best? The only way you have learned to swim (most likely front crawl.) But if you know how, the breaststroke is my favorite.
I am sure many survivalists have watched the show “Naked and Afraid”. They burn a lot of calories (energy out) but consume minimal calories (energy in) during their assigned time to enter and finish the challenge in harsh and unpredictable conditions. Caloric balance is critical for survival, but they tend to do some tasks that are not beneficial for their success.
When you are out and it gets cold, there are several ways to stay warm. Best way is layering clothing and being near a heat source like a campfire. But if you get a downpour of rain while you are building a shelter and get soaking wet, you may have limited amount of dry clothing to get into. The best thing to do is drink water.
Watch a few episodes of Naked and Afraid, and you’ll see people covered in bug bites, and tons of mosquitoes and ants and other bugs that attack them. There are ways to minimize this, but not all locations will have the necessary items to keep you from getting devoured by bugs. So, what can you do?
Most bushcraft shelters work well except when it rains. When inclement weather strikes, it can be a very wet shelter. Worse yet, it can start to flood on the dry floor that you need to sleep on. The solution to this is making a trench around your shelter.
I have lived on a boat, overloading (before the term got popular), and have gone car camping, glamping, and backpacking in many places around the globe. When you have the luxuries of carrying a ton of stuff to prepare and cook food, it feels like home to me. However, if space and weight is a concern (carrying a kitchen full of stuff is not an option in a survival situation), I have a short list of items I carry or make on my own.
