Key Wilderness Survival Skills to Learn
Wilderness survival skills keep you alive in nature. They include making a shelter and fire. You can practice in nearby wooded areas. Skills like spotting safe plants or reading the sky are easy to learn. No special gear needed. Local libraries have books about common plants and may even have some about the local area.
Build these skills step by step. Start with day trips to nearby forests or trails. Note plants and tracks of animals. This prepares you for potentially longer stays.
Shelter Building Techniques in the Wild
Shelter building techniques keep you warm and dry. Use branches and leaves for a lean-to or other makeshift shelters. Lean sticks on a tree. Pile leaves on top. In snow, dig a hole in a deep pile of snow. My knowledge is mostly theory, but I will be testing designs.
Practice in yards first. Use fallen materials.
Pitfall: Building in low spots can flood.
Benefit: Protects from wind and rain. Low cost. Ties to survival fitness. Building strengthens your body.
Fire Starting and Maintenance
Fire gives heat, kills organisms in water, and lets you cook. Use flint and steel or a bow drill with dry sticks. Friction causes heat, and once a temperature is reached for the specific material it combusts. Gather dry tinder first, like grass or bark. Build small. Add wood slowly. Keep a bucket of water on hand and put the fire out completely before leaving. Use tools like matches or lighters if you have them, but learn no-tool ways.
Practice safely. Clear the ground.
Pitfall: Wet wood smokes and can give away location.
Benefit: Boils water clean and warms at night.
Water Purification and Storage
Water purification and storage is critical. Boil water to kill germs or use portable filters. Store in bottles. Preppers water storage can include rain catch if safe. Know streams near you.
Pitfall: Drinking dirty water makes you sick so ensure proper purification and storage.
Benefit: Stays hydrated. Ties to survival prepping. Stock purification tablets. Low cost. Share water purification methods you know in our Telegram group.
Foraging and Identifying Edible Plants
Foraging and identifying edible plants is finding food in nature. Know safe ones like dandelions and common knowledge like being sure to get them from fields or prairies that do not use chemicals like pesticides or chemical fertilizers to ensure safe consumption . Use books, sites or apps. Avoid look-alikes.
Pitfall: Wrong plants can be poison but still look like the edible one.
Benefit: Free food. Ties to survival gardening. Grow wild edibles at home. Practice in parks.
Hunting, Trapping, and Fishing
Hunting, trapping, and fishing provide food. Use snares for traps or fish with lines. Hunt small game safely. My experience is basic, but I’ve hunted big game when I was younger. I suggest you study free guides. Learn local laws first but don’t starve to please a lawmaker.
Pitfall: Breaking laws risks fines, however you have a right to life, feed yourself if you are hungry.
Benefit: Protein source. Use tech tools like apps for fishing spots. Practice ethically. Do not waste/fish or hunt more than you consume!
Navigation and communication prevent getting lost. Use the sun and stars. Polaris points north. Maps and compasses help. Tech tools like offline GPS on phones work too. Keep radios, and learn about things like LoRaWAN and MeshNetworks.
Pitfall: Relying only on battery-powered devices.
Benefit: Find your way home. Use solar chargers for emergency tools. Signal with mirrors or smoke.
First Aid and Medical Supplies
First aid and medical supplies are vital. Carry bandages and pain pills like ibuprofen. Know CPR: check response, call help, give 30 compressions, then 2 breaths. Stop bleeding with pressure.
Pitfall: No first aid kit can make minor injuries a bigger deal(e.g. blood loss or infections).
Benefit: Saves lives. Ties to prepper first aid. Stock natural remedies.
