E01: Rocky Mountains
1. Find a creek or river when you get lost, then find a path that will take you to the road.
2. The principle of building a shelter: keep it warm and dry, and it does not take too much energy to build.
How to build a shelter for wreckage: Pick up the trunk of a large dead tree, put it at the bifurcation point of a tree, break off the side branches and put it next to the trunk, cover it with moss (wind and rain and keep warm), and lay a thick layer on the ground Pine needles (dry and warm)
3. Look for millipedes under the wood, and make sure that each segment has four legs (because the poisonous centipede is similar to it, but each segment has two legs)
4. Knives are useful in the wild, manufacturing method: pick up a stone we call a stone hammer and a normal stone, knock it hard, knock it off to create a sharp profile. It can be used to cut fish and make firelights.
5. In the Rocky Mountains, the best way to light dry pine and spruce branches is with a hand drill. Drill a cut in a piece of wood with a stone, and by rotating the tip, sparks are set off to ignite a very dry kindling.
6. Eat snakes: Use a knife to cut off the head (the head of a rattlesnake is highly poisonous), peel off the skin, flesh and internal organs of the snake. The internal organs that cannot be eaten should not be thrown nearby (it is easy to attract wolves and bears), they should be thrown into the fire and burned, and the snake head will also be burned. burn. Fork the tip of the snake meat on a branch, wrap it around, and roast it. If you can tear off the fibers of the meat, it's usually done. Snake meat tastes like chicken and is delicious.
7. One of the real dangers of traveling at night is getting lost just to run. If you don't have a compass, look for the North Star, find the last two stars in the constellation Ursa Major, and count one, two, three, four, and it points directly to the North Star (the North Star is a separate star)
8. Earthworms and insects are 80% protein, which can greatly supplement energy.
9. Premonitory rain: Banded cirrus clouds (finger-like clouds that run across the sky) often move in front of low pressure. When it is about to rain, the sound will travel farther (because there is more moisture in the atmosphere, acting like a loudspeaker). There is a special smell in the forest.
10. When jumping into the water from a height, make sure your feet are in the water first, stay absolutely vertical, and keep your legs together and your back tight
11. Grizzly bears track scents and can cut off scent trails by crossing rivers
12. There may still be some scattered garbage on the river bank, which may become your savior. Cans and plastic bags are very useful. Also make an effort to find natural materials that can help you. For example, cattails, you can pinch the top of a cattail and turn it, which is a good firestarter. It can also be made into an insulating coat to keep yourself warm. The stalk is very suitable for being straight and hard. The roots of the cattail are It's natural pasta, and it's a good quality carbohydrate.
13. Catch fish in small ponds with your bare hands, try to get behind them, and when you see a fish swim up to it and get trapped in the mud, you can catch it. Many fish are slippery, so make sure to stick your fingers in his gills to hold him. It can be eaten raw in an emergency. Head off and take out the guts. Grilled fish: Find a piece of bark, spread a layer of soil, then a layer of quinoa leaves, put the fish, then spread a layer of quinoa leaves, then a layer of soil, add some dead branches, throw it on the fire and bake it for about 20 minutes.
14. You can hang leftover food from a tree to avoid being eaten by grizzly bears. Store food in cans and tie one end of the string over the treetops. Food is about 100 meters from the camp.
15. Rivers can provide water and food, but they are also a favorite hunting ground for grizzlies, so be careful.
16. Horsetail is broken from the stem, and the section can be used to clean the teeth, and its middle part has an abrasive effect to remove plaque.
17. Although the water in the river looks clear, it is not drinkable (it may carry various bacteria and viruses such as Salmonella, Hepatitis A or Giardia). Fill the can with water, then put the can on the fire (you can also add some rose hips and cook it together, it tastes like unripe strawberries)
18. Rapid rivers are both a danger and an opportunity. It can spend less time and energy, float down the river and find the road faster. However, it is not recommended for non-emergency situations. Remember to pay attention to the water temperature, too low water temperature is a very dangerous factor. Think of it as a flotation device with the help of a rucksack and plastic bag. It is safer to open the way with your feet than your head, and your feet are in front of you when you are drifting down the current. When you encounter a large rock, take a break to catch your breath. Many small rapids tend to flow towards a so-called intersection. When you are in the water, you drift all the way down, and you will see that all the main streams of the rivers will merge together at this intersection. The way to enter this intersection is to follow the current and try your best. Avoid panic. The shallower sections of the river need to rely on your feet to block many small reefs. When you feel cold, you must go ashore to warm up your body. Hypothermia is very scary. Warm up by exercising, changing out of wet clothes, and lighting a fire.
19. Light a fire, put a stone on it, burn it very hot, put it out, and put a lot of sand on it. A hot stone can be kept warm for several hours. Then you can lie down on the sand and sleep warmly.
20. When you are in a situation of survival, keep making decisions, don't stagnate, don't just waste time, even making a bad decision is better than doing nothing at all.
