Tips On How To Survive In The Wilderness

At 24,000 feet above sea level, with winds blasting at extreme velocity, the temperature plummets to 25 degrees Celsius or the wind blasts up to 40mph, no water, no food; totally left in an area where there is no one to ask for help, surviving in the wilderness is the most important and the only thing you can think about.

Here are some practical tips on how to survive in the wilderness:

1. Temperature checkOne of the most important aspects of surviving in the wilderness is to maintain your body temperature. Statistical reports show that almost 80% of deaths in the wilderness are brought about by temperature deviations. These people suffer from either hyperthermia (extreme heat), or hypothermia (extreme cold).So it is best to maintain body temperature at or close to 37 degrees Celsius. Start by looking for a temporary shelter. This will protect you from extreme cold or heat brought about the wilderness weather conditions.

2. Do not panicThe main point here is to preserve whatever energy you have left. Keep in mind that you do not have any food with you, so the only best or only way to survive is to allow your body to consume the available energy that you have in your body.Panicking will only consume more energy so it is best to think before exhausting that energy. This will enable you to save energy before your body gets exhausted with no food available to replenish it.

3. Lots of water If you are in a camping activity, always carry lots of water with you. You never know what could happen next while you are out in the wilderness.Most people are not aware of this but the body can survive for quite some time without food, but it can never survive without water.If you are running out of water, retain the water in your body by curbing extreme sweating. Try to breath through your nose as much as possible just to help retain the water in your body.If your body really needs water, do not hesitate to drink from any stream or river. Purified water is the last thing you can think about if you really want to survive in the wilderness. As long as the water is clear, you can drink it. It is better to keep your body fully hydrated than to suffer the consequences because all you can think of is using only purified water.Keep in mind that the key to survival in the wilderness depends on how you can maintain the basic aspects of your body.
