Many of us take our daily survival needs for granted. It is not until we are in a time of need that we
remember the importance of dependable shelter, nutritious food, clean water, adequate clothing and
companionship. We sometimes forget that without these necessities, survival would be a difficult or
a nearly impossible task.
If you suddenly found yourself thrust into a survival situation, such as being lost in the woods, do
you think you would be able to make it?
Could you find food and purify water? Could you build a shelter or make a fire? Would you know
how to attract attention so someone could find you? Do you have any first aid knowledge to help
yourself in case of injury? Would you be able to remain calm enough to think about how to do any of
these things? Suppose the only tools you had on you were your own two hands!
Feeling a bit unprepared?
The following tasks are designed to help prepare you with the knowledge needed to increase your
chances of survival in the event that you someday find yourself facing a situation in which you must
rely on your personal and environmental resources in order to sustain life.
