Survival Skills One Has To Follow In Camping

Survival skills can be any skill that can help a person to survive in hard situations like cyclones, storms, earth quakes, or when trapped in a mountain, desert or hostile jungles. There are three rules that must be always remembered.

1.Humans cannot survive more than three hours exposed to extreme low- temperature   .
2.Humans cannot survive more than three days without water.
3.Humans cannot survive more than three weeks without food.

The main things that one has to find out are shelter, fire, water, food, and navigational aids. The shelter could be any natural or manmade cave, or anything that could cover you from the elements. One should always know how to start a fire without matches. It might be from sunlight or flint stone. Fire can be life saver in cold weather. In colder or warmer temperatures the need for water is greater. Normally we lose some two to three liters of water through our body.

Even though not so vital, lack of food in cold conditions can be dangerous. It can stimulate low morale, loss of mental clarity, and weaken the immune system. One should be sane enough to find their way back to safety. One should be able to follow celestial navigation and navigation by observation.
