1. There are millions of crocodiles hidden in the big swamp. The first thing you need most is a weapon. You can cut down a small ash tree and use it as a stick. When cutting the tree, bend it tightly so that you can clean it. Cut down neatly. Although this weapon is not strong, it can increase your attack range by 1.2 meters.
2. When you can't figure out where you are, try to get to a high place, so that your vision will be wider and you may be able to determine the direction you are heading.
3. One of the key elements of survival is having some knowledge of the terrain you are currently in. In the Everglades, basically the inland will be higher. If you know where the inland is, go in that direction.
4. There is a way to find out the direction, which is to use the watch as a compass, and align the time hand with the sun, which is the south in the middle of it and 12 o'clock.
5. Lin Zedi is very sinister, because there can be anything lurking under the water, and you have no idea what you are standing on. If you see air bubbles in the water, run quickly, get out of the water quickly, it is best to go to the tree, because it may be a crocodile, of course, it may be the gas produced by the swamp. Just stay here for a while, watch it, better back off, take a detour, don't take the risk.
6. In the swamp, be careful of crocodiles when encountering open areas. Crocodiles like to stay in open areas where the sun can shine directly. They are cold-blooded animals and need sunlight to keep them warm.
7. Dead trees are often fragile, be careful when climbing dead trees. Cypress trees are relatively safe though, with no branches in the lower part and vertical grooves in the bark, because they grow in water, and the trees don’t rot for a few years. When climbing a tree, hold the tree between your thighs and push yourself up with the instep.
8. Get out of the swampy waters before nightfall, as crocodiles become more active at that time, and that is their main predation time.
9. To build a camp, you can use a small ash tree, there are many branches hanging down on it, you can find a few more branches and tie them to the tree in parallel, and then lay some branches on it, it can lift you up on the water. above. Another benefit of the little ash tree is that it has a lot of vines on it, which can be used as a natural rope to tie things. However, make sure the wood is strong enough to hold your weight before building. Tie a simple backhand knot in the branch, re-thread it, and secure it to the tree. An ideal bed is long and wide enough to allow you to stretch on it to prevent rolling off the bed, ideally choose straight wood and remove the leaf buds, they will prick and make it harder to fall asleep .
10. When looking for something to put on a mattress, don't use parasitic rattan.

11. A mattress is much better with the leaves of a palm, the state tree of Florida. For hundreds of years, the local Seminole tribes have used it for shelter.
12. Once the bed is made, the fire needs to be considered. Fire drives away predators and dries clothes. Lighting a fire requires some kindling, and again these palms are key, right in the middle of the palm tree, it's very, very dry, even if it rains it will still stay dry, but be careful when picking this stuff, because often There will be plenty of nasty reptiles living in it, from ants to scorpions and maybe even snakes.
13. Make a base for a campfire while living on a bed, otherwise the burning embers will burn your bed, should wait for the mud to dry, but no time to wait, but the green shoots will burn in the fire and wet mud A barrier is formed between them, and a bonfire can be lit in a humid environment at this time.
14. If your feet are wet for more than 12 hours, you have "trench foot", which is caused by a combination of cold and damp, and the symptoms are that the skin starts to slough, and then there is the possibility of infection. Make sure you don't get "trench foot", because if you can't walk in the wild, you're dead.
15. Animal trails are always worth following for a while, as they often lead you to water and food, but don't follow for too long, as they can also throw you off course.
16. There are no poisonous frogs in the swamp that can be eaten with confidence.
17. The usual way to eat a turtle is to cut open the belly, remove the guts, scoop out all the meat and roast it, but in the Great Swamp Ciminoles it is customary to throw the whole turtle directly on the fire and put the meat in the shell. It is baked in the middle, a bit like a pressure cooker, and it will be cooked in about an hour. The grilling time depends on the size of the turtle. The sign of whether it is cooked is to see if its shell is crispy. If it falls off when it is knocked, it is cooked.
18. Watch out for snakes when trudging through these thigh-high grass. The Eastern Diamond Rattlesnake is the largest and most venomous snake in North America. Their attack range can reach half of their body length. If you encounter such a snake, you must back away quietly and slowly, always keep your eyes on him, don't Turn your back to him and keep a safe enough distance from him, these rattlesnakes have a kind of loud clicking noise, enough to be alert, but some are quieter or even silent at all, and they may attack without warning . In addition to snakes, watch out for black bears.
19. In the big swamp, beware of swamp silt, the one in the middle is called a limestone pit, these puddles are formed by flowing groundwater eroding the limestone, creating a pocket-like thing filled with silt and water. If you're stuck in it, the more you struggle, every muscle you pull creates suction that sinks you deeper into it. The trick to getting out of this pit is if you have a stick, use it to create more surface area to carry your weight and try to put your chest on it, lean forward, and lift your butt, try Pull your legs out of the muck. Once on the surface, crawl forward until you reach solid ground.
