If you are out in woods and suddenly realize that you can't remember which direction you came from, it means that you are lost! Don't panic. Here are some tips on how to survive in the wild.
One of the most important tips on how to survive in the wild is to be able to find water. First, look for surface water like rivers, streams or lakes. When lost in the wild, try to move to low-lying areas. You are sure to find water on low-lying land as water always flows from higher levels to lower levels. Healthy and strong green vegetation is also a good sign of presence of water.
The type of shelter that you find or you can make depends upon the climate and the area's natural features. If there is a cave, make sure that it is not home to some wild animal. You could stay around the mouth of the cave during dusk as an animal living in the cave would either go inside the cave or move out in search of food this time. If the cave is not large enough to be home to a large animal, throw some stones inside the cave. If there are snakes or small creatures in the cave, they will come out when stones are thrown in.
Stick to known plant specimens(样品) like fruits while looking for food in the wild. A good idea is to see what animals eat. If the food is safe for them, it should be safe for human beings as well. Search for roots of edible plants like wild onions and carrots. Design a piece of equipment to catch rabbits as they are an important source of proteins (蛋白质). You could also consider fishing if there is a water source close by.
