If I live on a deserted island, this is my guide for survival on a deserted island

After watching so many survival movies and TV, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge, and I began to seriously imagine how to face the difficulties if one day I live alone on a desert island in the ocean. Due to the different conditions of various desert islands, it is difficult to describe separately. The following points are based on the desert island where the hero of this film lives.

1. It is necessary to build
small islands that mark the ocean. If there are ships passing by from time to time around, they must be rescued soon. Since they have not been rescued soon, it must be because of the geographical location that few ships will pass by. At most, it's just a long way past. There is a probability of one in 100,000 that the ship will temporarily stop if it fails. Many people living on deserted islands have experienced that there is a boat passing by, but even if they shout, they cannot be heard by the people on the boat. The chance of a once-in-a-lifetime salvation is lost. So it’s important to build the mark so that the people on the ship can see it. It is best to build a mark at the highest point of the island. The mark should be large enough for people in the distance to see it. In addition, the mark should be large enough to distinguish it from the natural landscape so that people can see that it was built by humans. In addition, it must be stable enough not to be blown down by the wind-a triangular prism can be built, or a quadrangular prism shaped like a pyramid. The material can only be tree trunks, such as coconut tree stalks. If there is dirt at the highest point, it is wonderful. Dig three 1.2-meter pits, insert three tree poles, and tie them up at the other end of the tree poles to make a big eye-catching mark. If the highest point is a hard rock, it is not easy to handle it. You can build three rock piles, which are heavy enough, and pile them on the bottom of the three tree poles for stability. Or the bottom heads of the three tree poles are connected with the other three tree poles to form a base.

In fact, the pyramid shape of the four tree poles may be better, because the inner space is larger, so that some coverings are placed outside the inner space, which can be used as a resting place. Of course, your main resting place is on the beach, which is just a temporary reserve.

In addition, it is too difficult to clear an open space around or next to the triangular prism, or dig trenches, or use zero stones or piles of wooden poles to make a distress signal that can be seen from the air, SOS, or HELP is too difficult To do it, it is best to make an arrow shape directly to point to the residence on the beach.

2. Save the fire
It is more difficult to obtain fire than you think. There is a problem with the method of drilling wood to obtain fire. The continuous rotation speed of the hand is limited, and it is not easy to use force. Sometimes it will stop and make the effort fall short, so don't use wood to get fire. , But to use another method: cut a groove in a wooden block, put some hay at one end of the groove, and then use the bottom of another wooden stick to rub back and forth along the groove. This method is better. But in any case, it takes a lot of effort to make a fire every time, and if it rains when the fire is most needed, it can't be produced, so how to keep the fire is very important. The fire must be kept in a covered place. The best state is that the charcoal piled on the fire is as hot as charcoal and does not burn.

3. Construct water storage.
Water storage is very useful. First, it solves the problem of drinking water. You don’t need to rely on the sky (drinking water when it rains). Second, you can raise fish if there is a water storage. In animal islands, the only meat that can be eaten is fish, shrimp, and crab, and fish can be fed in water. In this way, if you catch too many people, you can raise them first, and you will gradually have more than enough food, which is of great benefit to your life planning on the deserted island. Sometimes because of the weather and season, there will be a lot of fish caught, and sometimes I am sick and have no energy to fish. At this time, this small fish pond comes in handy.

How to build a water storage is difficult. Generally speaking, it can be basically solved as long as there are plastics or aluminum blocks in the aircraft wreckage that do not seep. But if there are no such objects, there are other ways. For example, a tree stump can be dug out into a pot, or small wooden slats or boards can be tied with a rope to make a square box without a lid, and then put leaves around the inside. Leaking things can also be made.

4. Before weaving the rope
, whether for marking or building a water storage area, a rope is needed. Where does the rope come from? In fact, with a rope, you can link wood and wood, and wood and stone. It can be said that the rope is the cement and nails of this small island. It has the function of bonding and building, and contributes to the "manufacturing" of the desert island. Provide a solid foundation. Rope will also be used to make rafts in the future. So in addition to collecting food, the usual work is to weave hundreds of ropes, large and small, which can be collected from rattan, coconut shreds, etc., and find ways to weave many small strips, and then the small strips are connected together to make large strips. For various purposes.

In fact, the raft is only one of the ropes, and there is another rope that comes in handy, that is the fishing net! Once you have made a fishing net, your fishing work will be greatly reduced, and your life will start to relax. If you set up a net every night, you will have fish to eat in the morning. Practice for a few days to master the position and shape of the cast net; you can even surround a fish pond at the shallows. The fish enter the pond and think that they are free. You only need to close the door and it is all your food.

5. Be sure to remember the day.
Find a stone and stroke it every day. It’s not because people go to bed every day, and the time they wake up may not be the same. They do it when they wake up, and they don’t get close to the rock on the day after they are done. If you stroke once a week, you may forget to stroke it, which will not be able to accurately measure the time. If you are still close to the stone after being marked, because you have been alone for a long time and your life content is single, you will easily lose the concept of time.

Remembering the day is very important. This is because the climate cycle is one year, and you must be familiar with the climate characteristics of this island and then use it. How many months of the year are the waves strong, when are there more fish, and when and when does the wind blow? You are a fisherman, you need to predict the weather, arrange production, and take risks, because sooner or later you have to go to sea.

In addition, you have to perceive the passage of time, on the one hand, you are also determining the passage of time in "society". The passage of time is an abstract connection with society. On the other hand, you have to perceive the changes in your body functions with age.

6. Go to sea.
It doesn't mean that you have to leave the island to find the mainland. You have made fishing nets, fishing is easy, and the salt is dried in the sea water. The food tastes decent. Although it is uncomfortable after eating for a long time, your weight has not dropped much. If you really want to travel across the ocean to find the mainland, you can get scarce food and water shortage in a raft that is just a few inches apart. It can take a few months. If you really don’t find the mainland for 4 or 5 months, you will die. The probability is greater. Therefore, going to sea does not mean leaving the island completely.

This is because the main reason why no one came to this deserted island is to stay away from the route, so your purpose of going out to sea is to find a ship. If you go to sea to find a ship, your chances of being discovered should be greatly increased, from the original one in ten million to one in 100,000.

Another benefit of going out to sea is that you can bring your fishing net and catch more different fishes. Of course, in order to guard against sharks, you have to prepare weapons in advance.

At this time, your grasp of the weather will help you reduce the risk of going to sea. You can choose to go to sea for 1km at the beginning, and then you can go to 2km or 5km later. Remember not to be too adventurous. Come back as soon as you think it's getting dark. If you see a reef emerging from the water 5 kilometers away, then you are in luck. This will be your location for another stand mark. At this time, you must set up an arrow mark. The stand mark may really be regarded as People passing by the deserted island declared that they had come to this performance art. In addition, the mark of Li may be beaten by the big waves all the time. But there is really no way to do this. Whenever you go out to sea after a big wave, you have to bring a marked wooden stake along with it.

7. Protect your clothes.
Clothes and trousers will rot in such a humid place in less than three years. Therefore, we should cherish it. Fortunately, the temperature in the ocean remains constant throughout the year, with only the difference in temperature between day and night. So during the day, try to wear only one pair of pants (preferably underwear). Clothes can't be used to protect yourself from the damage of spikes, but can only be used to keep warm, and in the water, the more you wear, the more disadvantageous.

8. The most difficult thing to solve is: boring.
There is only you on the desert island. As time goes by, time itself becomes chaotic, people's minds may be dizzy, and one person is too lonely. Maybe a person has gone mad before starving to death. Even if he is not mad, it is not normal. Someday he will be a patient when he returns to society. Therefore, since the goal is to return to the mainland alive, then return to the mainland in a normal spirit.

1) If mammals can be caught on the island, such as birds, mice, etc., they can be kept in captivity and kept as pets.
2) If you don't even find a mammal, you can create one or more things that can be talked, and talk as much as you can as a friend. You can even create multiple characters with a social background. But be careful about this, don't construct a world that is too large and deep, in case you get stuck in it and get mentally sick.
3) Make the whole island meaningful in space. You have at least two places to live, the mark on the top of the island and the pergola on the beach. The time is constant, so you might as well build a few more dwellings to specify when and where to live. Some meanings, such as where to live on birthday, etc.
4) The most important thing is to remember that nothing is more important than this one:
Find a way to write, writing is an extremely important communication between people. It's much better than speaking directly to an object. You can think of ways to write novels, keep a diary, and write to think about some of the topics you want to think about: such as Jin Yongzhong Qiao Feng's martial arts pros or Zhang Wuji's martial arts pros and cons; which girl Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai is more worthwhile? How does the trade wind belt arise, how the sun is used to determine time; how the business model is constructed; the main points of volatility trading; the inclusion of the interest rate curve; what are the control methods of the Clinton family over the United States, and so on.

But how to find a place to write is difficult. The beach is a good choice. You can find a branch and write on the sand stand. The writing is erasable. But the disadvantage is that it cannot be stored for a long time. You can make a wooden board and write with carbon. The advantage is that you can write while lying down, so you can write by the campfire at night, but the disadvantage is that the board is very small.

If possible, you can use a brief method to record the important things of the week in a place that can be stored for a long time. The most important effect of this is that you can get feedback by reading these things, find your own sense of existence, and find the signs of time passing; Memorizing things instead of thoughts is because thoughts are wild, and you can’t find too many places to record them for a long time. In addition, there is another important function of memorizing Zhou Zhi. If you are really saved, these records may be used as a biography in the future to inspire the world. Besides, you can also make some money.

    1. This kind of plot of Robinson Crusoe is really difficult to attract my interest, but in the last half an hour, my life after returning gives me a sense of surprise. 2. When you are trapped on a deserted island, your heart is free; your body is free, life continues, and both your body and mind are sleepy; at a crossroad, choose where you want to go, and the desert island will reappear!
