1. Skydiving and landing at high altitudes is very dangerous. Because the air is very thin, the landing will be faster than usual. To reduce the risk of injury, try to land in water.

2. How to identify the direction:

(1) The easiest way to identify the direction when the sun is shining is the pole shadow method, which is to find a branch at random, stick it on the ground, it will cast a shadow, make a mark on the end of the shadow, etc. For 15 minutes, let the shadow move slowly, and then make a mark for the next point, the line connecting the two is the east-west line. This way you can draw an east-west line.

(2) To supplement the pointer method of the E10 Everglades watch, align the time hand of the watch with the sun, and the middle of it and 12 o'clock is the south.

(3) To supplement the watch pointer method of E12, in the southern hemisphere, 12 o’clock is aligned with the sun, and the middle of it and the hour hand is north

3. When you are in a higher place on the mountain, see a thunderstorm cloud and go down as soon as possible, because it is easier to be exposed to storms and lightning at high places.

4. When there is no rope or modern rock climbing aids, you can climb down, always keep your hands and feet rubbing against the rock, you can't slide down, you can only rub down very carefully (fart descent), when you encounter steep where you can turn around and lean down and climb down.

5. The fastest way to go down the mountain is to follow the stream.

6. The most important thing in making a raft is to keep everything simple. Too complicated rafts often fall apart. It must be strong and simple. It is ideal to use wild vines to tie up the rafts. Because they are strong and flexible, bend the vines and then tie the It folds in half, thread the wood through it, twist it a few times, and wrap it around the next piece of wood. These vines are also edible, and their leaves are packed with nutrients.

7. When rafting on the raft, turn your head to the back when encountering waves, so that it is not easy to choke on the water.

8. At high altitudes, the body consumes more water than usual, so drink as much water as possible. If you don't have a teacup or other container, drink the dew from the leaves or get the water from the pine needles. Pine needles are a great source of water, they retain a lot of water, and they're rich in vitamin C, eight times as much as orange juice.

9. You can use willow branches to weave rope. When the bottom of one wicker is braided, pick up another wicker and thread it in, so that it is like grafting, it can be very long, and finally a small branch is used to tie the bottom willow branch tightly.

10. It is best to build a shelter with a flat terrain to prevent rolling down the hillside. Before building, check for traces of prey to ensure that there are no red ants. The last thing to check is to have a view of the sky above so that if rescuers are looking for you at the moment, they can see you.

11. To hunt prey, grind cedar wood into an Indian throwing stick, choose cedar wood because it is one of the hardest woods that makes a perfect weapon, grind it to a smooth level, this way He is fast and deadly when thrown in the air. (Bell hit a rabbit here, and then drilled a wood to make a fire to eat a roasted rabbit. It's amazing!)

12. Be careful with black bears when cooking, it can smell food even 40km away. That's when you have to get rid of the excess food while you sleep.

13. In the western part of the Sierra Nevada, there is an area called Chaparral (this is Spanish, referring to the hot and dry shrubland, which is the worst area in the Sierra Nevada), where few animals survive, but Home to deadly scorpions and biting ants. This carpenter ant can be eaten as a snack, but you must grab its head or it will bite your tongue. It tastes savory and sweet, but delicious.

14. In hot and dry areas, snakes like to hide in the shade, so when you step over the log, keep standing on it and see if there is something left and right, and then move forward.

15. In extreme water shortages, the bearberry tree can save your life. Its branches have small fruits like hawthorn, which contain water and vitamin C content. You can eat the pulp and spit out the core. , Mono Indians often make them into dried fruit, all you have to do is eat the outer pulp and spit out the core. These fruits are high in vitamin C and can also be used to make sweet and sour drinks. Its leaves can also be used to clean teeth.

16. Knot the legs of your trousers, then put the air in, swing it over your head and put it in the water, it will act like a little life jacket, like a raft, to help you cross the river.
