If you had to survive in the wilderness alone, without luxuries like camping equipment and communication devices, how long do you think you would survive? <\/span><\/p>\n

Due to our increased dependence on technology, we as a society are becoming less self-sufficient. Fewer and fewer people know how to make a fire without matches, build a shelter, hunt food, purify water and gather nuts and berries. If Armageddon hit, let\u2019s face it, most of us would not have a chance of survival. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, all is not lost. By learning just a few skills and following a few tips, you can become an entirely self-sufficient survivalist. Hopefully, you\u2019ll never end up alone in the wilderness, but even if you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll definitely be able to whip out your survivalist skills on camping<\/span>and hiking<\/span>\u00a0trips. <\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/strong>uss<\/strong> out your situation. Calmly assess any immediate dangers.<\/p>\n

U<\/strong>tilize <\/strong>your senses and good judgement. Making rash decisions is likely to end badly (and takes away major survivalist points).<\/p>\n

R<\/strong>emember <\/strong>where you are. Try to orient yourself. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have a survival kit with a compass, work out which way north is and try to figure out a route to safety.<\/p>\n

V<\/strong>anquish <\/strong>negative thoughts and feelings of panic.<\/p>\n

I<\/strong>mprovise <\/strong>with what you\u2019ve got. The best way to be self-sufficient is to be resourceful and creative with any equipment you have with you and anything you can find.<\/p>\n

V<\/strong>alue <\/strong>your life. The best survivalists have a strong will to live. Don\u2019t give in to apathy.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>ct <\/strong>like any animals you can see. Remember, animals are the ultimate survivalists. You can learn where water, food, and shelter are just by watching.
\nLearn <\/strong>basic skills. If possible, become as self-sufficient as you can before you have to be a survivalist. Learn how to hunt, find and purify water and build a shelter.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text admin_label=”fact” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_margin=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”10px||10px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”1.6em” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#0b36c4″ box_shadow_style=”preset6″ box_shadow_color=”#0b36c4″]<\/p>\n

Did you know nearly 96% of people suffer from Gastro in their life<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Water is vital to any survivalist. If you drink less than two liters a day, you will become less efficient and self-sufficient. If at all possible, prepare yourself and have a water purifier<\/span>and a vessel to carry water in?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

If you find yourself without a method of water purification, you can get water from plants and handmade wells. Sucking the moisture from pulpy plants like cacti can provide some hydration, but be careful never to swallow the pulp. Another option is to dig holes in the ground and wait for water to gather inside. <\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” parallax=”on” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”7px||||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

But survivalists beware: dirty water is dangerous. To be a survivalist, always purify your water before drinking it. <\/span><\/p>\n

However desperate you get, never drink salt water, blood, or urine. They will dehydrate you, make you sick, and could even kill you. <\/span><\/p>\n

To become self-sufficient, you\u2019ll also need to learn how to build a shelter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Use anything you can find, but make sure you choose to set up camp away from anywhere that is likely to flood, have falling rocks or trees, or be ridden with insects and wild animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s time to put down your iPhone, GPS, laptop, and iPad, and get a little bit, Robinson Crusoe. <\/span><\/p>\n
