What is wilderness survival?

The wilderness survival is not a sport or activity is, it consists of techniques and actions that will allow you to stay alive until help arrived. 


The best way to survive forest is to prepare the best possible material to make a minimum on each excursion. Including a small survival kit. Better to tell someone to the point where we are going and the expected duration of the tour. 


If the camp is fixed and that you have to leave it for a longer or shorter period leaves a message indicating the date and the direction. If you came not to friends or relatives can go or send relief and they found the camp empty your message could act more efficiently to find you. If, despite all precautions, it happened to you being caught in a dangerous situation in the woods, the first thing to do is accept the situation as it is, and to organize its resources to resist. Better to be active and is working on a task is the best way to avoid feeling sorry for himself. 


The primary goal was survival techniques to store the knowledge required to respond to the unexpected not neglect. Through repeated practice measures to adopt in an emergency, you gain confidence in you and you will know if you'd be prepared to find yourself in dangerous situations.
