Conclusion

oing out on a camping trip for a few days is one thing but living in the wild for the long term is something many of us can’t even imagine. It calls for much-needed skills and an understanding

G

of a lifestyle we are not simply equipped with. But I have learned from experience that once you get the hang of it and experience living in the wild, it can be the most empowering thing ever to happen to you. Learning wilderness survival techniques allows you to thrive outdoors and equips you to help your family, friends, and others survive a natural disaster. Today, many bushcraft survivalists seek to live out in the wild as a hobby; some try it to have the experience, whereas others do it to recon- nect to your soul, mind, and body. However, some are forced to live outdoors due to the aftermath of some disaster. Irrespective of the reasons, preparing well for whatever is coming is always great. If you start today, in a few months, you will be able to learn all the bushcraft skills that will help you get through any difficult situation.

The Long-Term Wilderness Survival Bible is a practical guide for all the wannabe bushcraft sur- vivalists, with six books in 1 pack. Every book in this guide book covers different aspects of survival- ism. This guide will take you through all basics. Book 1 starts with the bushcraft basic; then, book 2 is about survival shelters. Water sourcing, collection, and purification are thoroughly discussed in book 3. Then there is a detailed fire-building guide in book 4. Book 5 has everything related to hunt- ing, trapping, and cooking the animals found in the wild. There are fifty simple recipes that you can try in the wild. Then lastly, book 6 is your medical guide for the wild. You can try different remedies and curing tips to treat different medical problems using the knowledge given in this book.

BOOK 1

The Bushcraft Survival Guide

hat is Bushcraft, exactly? To survive and thrive in a natural setting, bushcraft uses and devel- ops abilities via learning and practice. The essential physiological requirements for human survival are met by bushcraft abilities, including food (obtained through foraging, tracking, hunting, trapping, and fishing), water collection and purification, shelter construction, and fire craft. Knowl- edge of twine-making, knots and lashings, wood-carving, camp craft, medicine, health, natural navi-

W

gation, and creating tools and weapons can be added to these.

Bushcraft comprises the ability to use certain instruments like bushcraft axes and knives. A bush crafter can use these tools to build various structures, such as dugout canoes and a-frame shel- ters. In the woods, many different shelter types can be built or used. The first is a specially designed shelter, such as a tent. Another illustration is an improvised shelter, such as a tent made from a big blanket or sheet. Snow caves and bark lean-tos are two examples of native shelters. Last but not least, natural shelters include caves, tree cavities, and thickets.

Bushcraft entails understanding how to tie various knots for various uses. The reef knot, figure 8 loop, improved clinch knot, clove hitch, and snare noose are some examples of these knots. The square knot is another name for the reef knot. Because you may tension the rope during the initial stages of the knot tying, it is useful for bundling goods together. One frequent use is to tie the knot together like a sling. The figure 8 loop makes a loop that will not draw tight, making it a robust knot. A hook or lure can be attached to the end of a fishing line using a figure 8 loop. This knot can be used to lift, drag, or hold loads. The improved clinch knot is usually used for fortifying a pole or tree, securing a hook to a line, fastening an anchor to a rope, and other similar tasks. The clove hitch can be used to fasten a shelter to a tree or to make a raft. It is usually used to begin a lashing, connecting one object to another, like the frame of a shelter. Animals are usually captured with snare nooses. The snare is made of a noose fastened to an anchor point, such as a bush. The line will get more constricted around the animal’s neck as it passes through the noose.

The term bushcraft was made popular in the Southern Hemisphere by Les Hiddins (also known as the Bush Tucker Man) and in the Northern Hemisphere by Mors Kochanski. More recently, Ray Mears and his bushcraft and survival television programs helped the term gain significant currency in the United Kingdom. The term bushcraft is derived from techniques employed in the Australian bush. As they describe abilities used worldwide, the terms wilderness skills or woodcraft are usu- ally employed.

Emergency Survival Backpack

reparing entails having the tools and equipment needed in an emergency or tragedy. Store your goods in a portable emergency kit that you may use at home or bring with you if you need to flee.

Although survival and bushcraft are sometimes used interchangeably, they are occasionally viewed as distinct, if not rival, academic fields. I have opinions because I teach bushcraft survival, but I wanted to stand back and consider these concepts differently. It got me wondering what these terms meant, how they related to one another, and whether they were different things altogether or just different viewpoints on the same thing.

Here, the contrasts between time and adversity are crucial. The topic of wilderness survival includes techniques and psychology for coping with unforeseen difficulties that put our lives in danger outside.

One of the key words in the definitions of bushcraft given above is living. This suggests a long-term plan rather than an unforeseen circumstance or a life-threatening crisis. Another cru- cial distinction - understanding natural resources and their sustainable usage - is made clear by the longer time implied in the word bushcraft. Our forefathers and contemporary Aboriginal peo- ple were skilled bush crafters; they would have thoroughly understood their natural environment, passed down from their ancestors. However, in circumstances where survival is at stake, sustain- ability would likely take a back seat to other concerns. More time dedicated to bushcraft would also allow for the creation of tools, increased community involvement, and higher degrees of wilderness comfort.

Water

Clean drinking water could not be accessible after a disaster. Your regular water supply can be dam- aged by pollution or cut off. Create a water supply that will last your family through an emergency as a way to be prepared. For drinking and sanitary purposes, keep several days’ worth of water in storage at a minimum of one gallon per person. About one-third of a gallon of fluid, including water and other beverages, is required daily for an averagely active individual. Individual requirements, nevertheless, differ based on factors like age, health, physical condition, activity level, food, and cli- mate. Take the following into account:

Peoplewhoareill,nursingmoms,andchildrenmayrequiremorewater.

Anurgentmedicalsituationcancallformorewater.

Youmightneedtodrinkmorewaterifyouliveinacomparativelywarmerarea.Waterrequirementsmayquadrupleinextremelyhotweather.

Never limit access to drinking water unless authorities specifically command it. Drink all you need now, and then look for more tomorrow. Reduce your body’s requirement for water by staying cool and lowering your activities.

Drink water that you are confident is clean first. After being treated, suspect water, including hazy water from standard faucets or water from streams or ponds, can be used if necessary. Put off consuming suspect water for as long as possible if water treatment is not an option, but be careful not to become dehydrated.

Avoid substituting carbonated or caffeinated drinks for water. Alcohol and caffeine dry the body, which increases the demand for water intake. Purchase commercially bottled water, and keep it in its original, sealed container in a cool, dark location. Purchase food-grade water storage con- tainers if you must prepare your containers of water. Dishwashing detergent should be used to scrub the containers completely before filling them with chlorinated water. The bottles should then be cleaned with a quart of water and one tsp. of non-scented liquid household chlorine bleach to steril- ize. Every six months, non-commercially bottled water needs to be changed.

Water Treatment

It can be required to treat suspect water if you’ve used up all of your water reserves and there are no other trustworthy sources of clean water nearby. Before using any water with questionable quality for drinking, food preparation, dishwashing, tooth brushing, or producing ice, it should be treated. Contaminated water may taste or smell awful and include microorganisms (germs) that can lead to illnesses like hepatitis, cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. Water can be treated in a variety of ways. The optimum answer is usually a mix of approaches. Allow any suspended particles to fall to the bottom or filter them through coffee filters or layers of clean cloth before treatment.

Boiling

The most secure method of water treatment is boiling. Remembering that some water will evapo- rate, bring water to a roaring boil in a big saucepan or kettle for one full minute. Before consuming, let the water cool down.

The water will taste better if you add oxygen back into boiled water by transferring it back and forth between two clean containers. This will also enhance the flavor of the water that has been kept.

Chlorination

To kill bacteria, use household liquid bleach. Use only common home liquid bleach with a sodium hypochlorite content of 5.25 to 6.0 percent. Useless bleaches include perfumed, color-safe, or have cleansers added. For every gallon of water, add ⅛ tsp. of bleach, stir, and let stand for 30 minutes. The water ought to smell faintly of bleach. If not, repeat the dose and wait 15 minutes to stand. Discard it and look for another source of water if it still doesn’t have a chlorine odor.

Other chemicals like iodine or water treatment products available in camping or surplus stores that do not contain sodium hypochlorite, which has an active component concentration of 5.25 or

Distillation

While chlorination and boiling will kill most bacteria in water, distillation will eliminate any remain- ing microbes (germs), heavy metals, salts, and most other compounds. Boiling water and then col- lecting only the vapor that condenses are the steps in distillation. Salt and most other contaminants won’t be present in the condensed vapor.

Fill a saucepan halfway with water and begin distilling. Boil the water for 20 minutes after tying a cup to the handle of the pot’s lid so that the cup will hang correctly; when the lid is on backward, remember that cup must not be dangling into the water. The water that leaks into the c. from the lid has been distilled.

Non-Perishable Food

Power disruptions that follow a calamity could linger for several days. Keep dry mixes, canned goods, and other essentials on hand that don’t need refrigeration, cooking, water, or other prepa- ration. Include eating utensils as well as a manual can opener. The following factors should be taken into account when gathering your emergency food supplies:

Food Safety and Sanitation

Food kept in refrigerators and freezers can become dangerous without electricity or a cold source. At temperatures between 40- 140 degrees Fahrenheit, bacteria in food develop quickly, and eating certain items can make you very ill. When food is still refrigerator cold, it can typically be con- sumed. If it still has some ice crystals, it can be refrozen. Always remember to throw it out when in doubt.
