Describe the steps you would take to survive in the following exposure
conditions:
conditions:
Cold and snowy
Cold weather brings with it the very real danger of hypothermia.
The temperature does not need to be all that low for hypothermia
to be a concern.
Do all you can to keep yourself warm and dry.
Watch those around you for signs that they are becoming chilled.
Insects
Use insect repellent.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and
a hat.
Wear a head net.
Fire building methods
Tipee, Log Cabin, leento
Wet
While forests can offer an abundance of
materials for making shelters and building
campfires, they can also be challenging,
especially if the weather is wet. The shade of
a forest floor can feel chilly, and dampness
can make it seem even colder.
As in other settings, do what you must to
keep yourself and others dry and warm, and
be on guard against hypothermia.
Reptiles
While snakes are common in many
parts of the country, snakebites are
rare and seldom result in death.
Snakes try to avoid humans,
usually striking only when
cornered.
Use a hiking stick to poke among
stones and brush ahead of you
when you walk through areas
where snakes are common.
Fire starting methods
Flint and steel, match, lighter, steel wool, friction
Hot and dry
While the greatest challenge of desert survival might be staying
cool during the day, nights are sometimes cold enough in arid
regions for you to need clothing, shelter, and perhaps a fire to
keep warm.
Rest in a high, shady spot during the day, then complete
necessary activities in the cool of the evening or early morning.
Bears
While hiking, alert bears to your approach by making noise.
Never approach or provoke a bear. If you encounter a bear, do
not run or shout. Stay calm, back away, and avoid eye contact
with the bear.
Set up your sleeping area at least 200 feet away from where you
will cook and eat.
Allow no smellables—food-soiled clothing, deodorant and
antiperspirant, soap—in sleeping tents.
Shelter building methods
Teepee, leanto, etc.
Windy
Protect yourself from the wind by wearing a windproof
outer layer—a jacket, rain gear, or even a tarp or tent rain
fly. Seek shelter on the calm side of a boulder or large tree.
If the weather is chilly or cold, watch for any signs of
hypothermia.
Predatory Animals
Be especially aware of the kinds of predatory
animals you might meet during your
adventures. Wolves, coyotes, and cougars are
curious.
If you happen upon such an animal, face the
creature and slowly retreat from the area.
Do not approach the animal, run, or play dead.
How to forage for food
do not since it can lead to being poisened
At or on the water
The first concern is to protect those in
the water from drowning.
They will need to get to dry land, get
back into their watercraft, or stay afloat
until help arrives.
Huddle together with others if you are not
alone.
