The brutal desert sun triggers heavy sweating as your body tries to cool down, rapidly depleting your water reserves. Dehydration sets in fast—within hours—causing dizziness, cramps, and organ failure if unchecked. Always seek shade, ration sips, and cover up to minimize sweat loss and stay alive longer.A life raft is small, uncomfortable, and unmaneuverable, creating a very stressful environment. It is vital to maintain a positive mental attitude and not panic. Take long deep breaths, keep your mind busy assessing gear and leaks—panic wastes energy, clouds judgment, and dooms you faster.Desert water sources like puddles or cactus slits often harbor bacteria, parasites, or chemicals from runoff. Drinking contaminated water leads to dysentery or worse, accelerating dehydration. Always smell, filter through cloth, boil, or use purification tablets first to make it safe for drinking.Panic spikes your heart rate and breathing, causing excessive sweating and faster fluid loss—even in cool deserts at night. Staying calm conserves water by slowing your metabolism. Breathe deeply, focus on tasks like signaling, and sip rationed water to stretch your supply for days.Mild hypothermia triggers shivering (body's heat generator), confusion/muddled thinking, and clumsy coordination as blood flow prioritizes vital organs. Quick breathing isn't typical—respiration slows as core temp drops below 95°F. Recognize early, get dry/warm/sheltered to prevent progression to severe stages.Infection from an untreated wound can kill faster than thirst (you have 3 days for water). Stop bleeding with pressure, clean with seawater/squeeze-out pus, cover with clean cloth. Stabilize it ASAP, then prioritize shelter/signal—prevents sepsis in remote survival scenarios.Seawater is 3% salt—your kidneys need more water to flush it than it provides, worsening dehydration in hours. Symptoms: thirstier, swollen tongue, delirium. Collect rainwater, melt ice, or fish fluids instead—never drink ocean water, even in desperation.Direct sun overheats your core (hyperthermia risk) and amps sweating, guzzling precious water. Shade drops skin temp 20-30°F, cuts sweat by half, conserves fluids for 2-3 extra days. Use tarps, rocks, or dig into dunes—double win for heat and hydration survival.In the northern hemisphere, sun rises in the east, arcs south, sets west—key for navigation. Mark a stick shadow at sunrise/end for east-west line. Use for finding north (shadow tip moves west), orienting shelter away from prevailing winds.Pine's dense needles block wind/rain/snow better than deciduous trees, trap heat, and provide bedding/insulation. Build lean-to against trunk—needles shed water outside, keep you dry/warm. Evergreens excel in cold; avoid leafless trees that offer no barrier.Mossy wood stays damp, smokes heavily, hard to ignite—wastes matches/energy. Prioritize dry tinder (bark/shavings), kindling (twigs), then logs. Scrape moss off if desperate, but hunt dead-standing trees for quick, hot-burning fuel to signal/warm/cook.Boiling 1 minute kills 99.9% bacteria, viruses, parasites—even chemical purifiers can't match. Filter first for debris, then rolling boil. SODIS (sun) works slow; plants add toxins. Reliable for wilderness water from streams/ponds.Abandoning ship without raft/kit dooms you—raft inflates stable, kit has water/food/flares. Prep/deploy fast (30-60 sec), grab EPIRB/radio. Boat might float hours; swimming exhausts you in waves. USCG rule: life raft over swimming.Water within 100m saves energy trips; visibility (beach clearing) boosts rescue odds 80%. Avoid dens (animals/snakes). Balance: near clean stream, open flat—signal fires/smoke daytime, reflective at night for planes/boats.Water flows downhill to valleys/rivers—follow gullies, animal trails, lush green. Dig in dry beds for seepage. Blood/plants risky (toxic/dehydrate); dowsing myth. Saves days vs. random wandering.Cactus (prickly pear) oxalates irritate gut, cause cramps/diarrhea if overeaten—worsens dehydration. Nibble small amounts, peel/remove spines, roast. Backup food, not staple—pair with water.Bug-Out Bag (BOB) is 72-hour portable kit: water filter, food, first aid, firestarters, shelter tarp, multi-tool. Grab-and-go for evacuations/floods/zombies. Customize 20-30lbs; practice drills.Dysentery (bacterial/parasite) from giardia/crypto in stagnant pools causes bloody diarrhea, fever, death in days without rehydration. Boil/filter always—TB airborne, COPD smoking, diabetes metabolic.Spiny fish like lionfish/puffer edible if filleted (remove spines/guts), cooked thoroughly—raw toxins cause paralysis. High protein/calories; grill over fire. Common ocean survival food.Guts harbor parasites/worms/toxins causing food poisoning. Fillet muscle meat only—discard liver (vit A overdose), eyes (mercury). Skin ok if scaled; boil/grill kills surface bacteria.50% heat hits head—wet cloth/tarp hat blocks UV, cools via evaporation, prevents heatstroke. Sunscreen sweats off; aloe after. Full cover (long sleeves) best.Rule of 3s: Fire generates heat, shelter blocks wind/rain, dry clothes/wool trap body heat—combo prevents hypothermia 10x better. Wet=dead; layer, huddle, feed fire.STOP prevents rash moves that worsen situation—Stop conserves energy, Think positive, Observe landmarks/gear, Plan signals/shelter. 90% rescued staying put vs. wandering lost forever.Triangle = international distress symbol, visible miles away—three fires day/night (green leaves=smoke). Pilots/boats trained to spot. Bigger/better than solo signals.Movement spreads venom—immobilize limb (splint), mark bite/swelling, walk slowly to aid. No sucking/cutting (infects worse). ID snake if safe; antivenom key.Direct pressure clots blood (5-10 min), elevate above heart slows flow—stops most bleeding without tourniquet (last resort). Clean after; prevents shock/infection.Wet clothes conduct heat 25x faster—strip, wring/air dry, layer dry (trashbag poncho). Huddling shares warmth. Fire/shelter next; shivering stops=emergency.Big Dipper's "pointer stars" line to North Star (Polaris)—fixed north all night. No compass needed; navigate shelter/signals accurately for rescue.RICE reduces swelling/pain: Rest off weight, Ice 20 min, wrap snug (not tourniquet), elevate heart-level. Heals 2x faster; prevents crutches need.Black bears bluff/scare easy—yell, bang pots, wave arms/jacket. 95% flee. (Grizzly: play dead.) No running (chase instinct); food stored high.2 drops unscented bleach (5-6%) per quart, stir/wait 30 min (kills 99% pathogens). Smell faint chlorine=good. Backup to boil; must for streams.Tinder ignites easy (spark/flint), lights kindling (pencil-thick), then fuel (wrist-thick logs). Teepee shape for air; dry=hot fast signal/cook/warm."Swim" to stay on surface—arms forward, frog-kick against snow flow. Grab tree/rock, clear airway when stops. 93% surface survivors rescued.Drop to knees, cover head/table, hold until shaking stops—protects from falling debris (top killer). Doors whip; outside hazards. Lasts 1-2 min.Rips narrow—swim sideways 50-100yds to escape flow, then angle back. Conserves energy; 80% escape. Signal if tired; don't fight current.Crouch minimizes ground contact (30-50ft strike radius shocks via earth). Feet together=one point. Avoid water/tall objects; "30-30 rule" (see flash/count 30 sec thunder=hide).Cool running water 10-15 min stops burn process, aloe soothes, loose bandage protects. Blisters=skin barrier; butter traps heat. Hydrate inside-out.Feel door back/hand 10 sec—hot=fire side, use window/stairs. Crawl low (smoke rises), wet towel seal. 2-min rule: out fast.Conserve body heat: layers trap air, hot soup/tea warms core. CO risk from generators; candles fire hazard. Buddy system, conserve phone battery.Positive mindset (90% survival factor) beats panic—set routines (signal/fire/water), affirm "I'll be rescued." Willpower outlasts skills; talk to self, visualize home.You scored 0 out of 40You scored 1 out of 40You scored 2 out of 40You scored 3 out of 40You scored 4 out of 40You scored 5 out of 40You scored 6 out of 40You scored 7 out of 40You scored 8 out of 40You scored 9 out of 40You scored 10 out of 40You scored 11 out of 40You scored 12 out of 40You scored 13 out of 40You scored 14 out of 40You scored 15 out of 40You scored 16 out of 40You scored 17 out of 40You scored 18 out of 40You scored 19 out of 40You scored 20 out of 40You scored 21 out of 40You scored 22 out of 40You scored 23 out of 40You scored 24 out of 40You scored 25 out of 40You scored 26 out of 40You scored 27 out of 40You scored 28 out of 40You scored 29 out of 40You scored 30 out of 40You scored 31 out of 40You scored 32 out of 40You scored 33 out of 40You scored 34 out of 40You scored 35 out of 40You scored 36 out of 40You scored 37 out of 40You scored 38 out of 40You scored 39 out of 40You scored 40 out of 40
