When Wang Zhan arrived at that town, he found it really desolate. As a test of survival in the wild, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info can be described as an excellent place.

The instructor also wanted to talk about some experiences of survival in the wild, so he added a reminder that may be used-----

If you have a compass or GPS with you, use these devices to locate the general direction, and if you don't have any equipment, you can identify the direction according to the direction of the sun, the direction of buildings, the leaves of trees, etc.

Use a compass to identify the direction, the most convenient way to identify is a compass, but sometimes a poor quality compass is not reliable, to buy a compass with guaranteed quality, use the compass flat.

Use GPS to identify the direction, if you have a professional GPS is the best, if not, you can use your mobile phone to download a GPS, and then turn on the GPS to check your location and general direction.

According to the direction of the sun, the sun rises due east and sets due west in spring, rises and sets in the north of east in summer, and is the same in autumn and spring, and the sunrise is south-east and south-west in winter. You can stick a stick vertically erected in the open area, and the shadow of the stick will point to the northwest in the morning, the shadow will point to the northeast in the afternoon, and the shadow will point due north at noon.

According to the surrounding buildings to identify the direction, there are generally few buildings in the field, but if there is one, it can help us to identify the direction, generally the buildings are sitting north facing south, and the door is facing south.

The instructor said that the direction here is very important, because there is no map for you, and the distribution of buildings is chaotic and irregular.

Depending on the direction of the tree, the foliage on the south side of the tree is usually more dense than the foliage on the north side due to sunlight.

You should not rely on a single plant as a food source for a long time, and do not assume that plants eaten by birds, mammals or insects will be eaten by humans.

1) Try plants: A person can only try one plant at a time. When feeling unwell, use charcoal ash to induce vomiting. You can cut off the plant and smell it, and discard it if you find it smelling of bitter almonds or peach bark; You can squeeze the juice and apply it to the forearm between the elbow and armpit, and discard it if there is discomfort; If there is no discomfort, touch the lips, tongue or chew a small piece, and discard it if there is any discomfort; If there is no discomfort, you can swallow a small piece and wait for several hours, and if there are still no adverse reactions, the plant can be considered safe and edible.

2) Collect plants: Use clean empty bags and baskets to collect pale green twigs, bulbs, tubers, fallen fruits, etc. Be careful not to collect plants with milky, milky sap; Do not collect bright red envelope plants; Do not harvest berries that split into five-petal shapes; Do not collect plants with tiny barbs on their stems and leaves; Don't collect yellowed leaves; Do not collect mature sheep's tooth plants, etc.

3) Identify plants: for example, dandelions, nettles, plantains, etc. in temperate regions; palms, wild figs, and bamboos in tropical and subtropical regions; cacti and prickly pear in desert areas; spruce, arctic willow, lichen in the polar regions; Macroalgae and nori in coastal areas can be eaten.

Other plants, such as the inner layer of tree bark, gum and resin from certain trees, the pulp of birch and maple trees, and some fungal plants, desert plants, tropical plants, seaweed plants, etc., are edible.

Note: Some plants are poisonous. For example, when human skin comes into contact with certain plants, it can be irritated, triggering a rash and should be immediately rinsed with water; Don't mistakenly eat certain poisonous plants, and if you think of the deadly grass as a wild lily or a wild onion, you will be in trouble.

Unclean water often contains some disease-causing substances, such as dysentery, typhoid, schistosomiasis, leeches, cholera and other toxic products, as well as rotting value stems and leaves, insects, birds, animal carcasses and feces, and some may also contain heavy metal salts or toxic minerals. Therefore, when you find a water source when you are extremely thirsty, it is best not to rush to binge drink, and the water source should be purified and disinfected according to the environmental conditions at that time, so as to avoid poisoning or infection due to drinking water.

Light a fire, fire can generally disperse animals, it is best to light a fire next to it when camping in the wild, it can be very effective to prevent animal invasion. But take care to prevent forest fires from happening.

Try to camp in high places, as there will be fewer snakes and reptiles in high and open areas. And easy to defend.

Turn on the light source on your body, and if you have a flashlight or other glowing object on your body, you can place it nearby, which will effectively prevent the invasion of animals.

Friends take turns to keep watch, if there are many people, you can take turns to sleep, everyone keeps vigil for a while, and if you find a dangerous animal, notify everyone in time.

Set up obstacles around the camp, which can effectively stop the movement of animals, and will make noises when animals in the wild pass by, waking you up.

Disinfection: Any of the following methods can be used:

a. Use your own disinfectant, dilute and rinse the wound (suitable for both large and small wounds)

b. Wash the wound with water and soap (for minor wounds only)

c. Wipe the wound with a cotton swab or a disinfectant cotton ball dipped in disinfectant solution, and each cotton ball can only be wiped once in one direction each time until the wound is clean (general hand and foot wounds). For wounds that fall and abrasion or are suspected to be stained, it is necessary to pay more attention to the disinfection procedures.

Hemostasis: Let the injured person sit in a comfortable place, comfort the patient and raise the injured limb, cover the wound with a piece of sterile dressing, press on the dressing with your hand, and apply the right amount of pressure to help stop the bleeding. Bleeding that is usually not too severe (e.g., being cut to the finger with a fruit knife, etc.) and the patient does not have problems such as hemophilia can stop the bleeding in about 15 seconds. If the wound is abrasion for a fall, because the blood is not flowing out but seeping, the procedure of raising the injured limb to stop bleeding can also be saved.

Bandaging: If no blood is found on the dressing, when the wound has basically stopped bleeding, then fix the dressing with adhesive tape and ask the injured person to rest. If the wound is small, it can also be bandaged with a solution after the bleeding has stopped.

Special bleeding

Head: disinfect, cover with a dressing and stop bleeding, do not let the injured lie down during treatment, must be sent to the hospital for treatment, if the injured feel dizzy, nausea, amnesia and other signs, you have to tell the doctor.

Nosebleeds: Hang your head forward, do not let the blood flow into your throat to avoid vomiting, pinch the cartilage on the bridge of your nose with your fingers, wait for the bleeding to stop, and apply a cold compress to your forehead with a cold towel if necessary. Do not blow your nose or pick your nose two hours after the bleeding has stopped.

Traumatic bleeding: If you are cut by a knife or other sharp weapon when preparing meals in the field, you can rinse it with clean water and then wrap it in a hand towel. Minor bleeding can be stopped by compression, which should be released every 10 minutes or so after an hour to ensure blood circulation.
