There are a lot of tutorials on wilderness survival, and a few years ago a British serviceman named Bear recorded a show called Man into the Wild, which was wonderful, but also had its bad points, but I don't want to bad-mouth the show here. Because I realized that a lot of people who speak ill of their peers may be subconsciously influenced, for two reasons:

(I) envy between peers.

(2) In order to maintain their "insiders" authority, and the other side to be derogatory.

In order to avoid this aspect of suspicion, there was a military variety show in China before, I consciously threw a bad article into the dustbin. Of course, I still think it sucks.

Above said these have nothing to do with the problem, now say some related, I try to reduce the content in the tutorial, because those are really too simple, almost all the wilderness survival books on the market in addition to the cover, other similar, there are many and Baidu Baike exactly the same. But because of the number of times, it is now hard to know who copied who. Or it's not copying, there's only one standard answer, that's what everybody writes. But in the wild, there's no answer. So, my advice is not to take these tutorials too seriously.

1. Hunting.

Almost everyone who lives in the wild has something to do with hunting, a crescent moon, a tent, a hare, a campfire, a grill, a wild horse, and a wild horse to fall in love with. It's almost standard fare in martial arts movies.

But my advice on this is don't put your main source of food on hunting, you might starve to death. Bear can catch a wild boar with any rigging tool he makes, and in addition to eating the meat, the fat can be used for lighting. But in the mountains of China, you'd be lucky to find any wild boar excrement.

This is something that all wilderness survival tutorials deliberately ignore. An experienced hunter (who is a better hunter than a soldier), on average, estimates that it takes 100 lasso tools to catch a rabbit (by the way). In matters of life and death, it's best not to think too much of your luck and skill.

Really want to eat meat can look for some insects to eat, common ant, earthworm, snail of what, can eat. Grasshoppers are the most common, but be careful, I have seen people eat allergy, neck swelling as thick as the head, head swelling as thick as the waist. I was suffocating at the end. The allergy came and went quickly, and he was fine before treatment. Frogs can also eat, but must go to the skin, toad toxic, but high temperature cooked only eat legs is okay, no trypophobia can open the belly of the toad to see, dense small flying insects are very ecstasy, but do not smell the taste, I smell will have their own fever illusion, but also back brain pain. Rabbits, or animals larger than rabbits, can try their luck with nooses or traps, but it's best to play around. At night, you can use a flashlight to look for hedgehogs on the nearby grass. If you do well, you will not need seasoning.

Second, the plant

That should be the main source of food. Specific how to distinguish a plant TO have poison on tutorial, rub on the wrist first, next armpit... It works, but it's a waste of time. So it is better to find their own known wild fruits, such as wild persimmon, dates, chestnuts, wild peaches. These fruits are usually much smaller than the ones sold in the market, but they are basically the same shape and color, and they taste much better. If none of these are available, look for fruits that have been eaten by animals. Animals know which ones are poisonous or non-poisonous, but don't eat the ones that have been chewed by animals or insects.

There is no guarantee that anything a bird has eaten is not poisonous. If you want to know what traces Three, water

How to find water can be seen in many textbooks, is to see the growth of vegetation or animal footprints. One of the animal footprints this one had better give up, it is better to find a depression. Had better be able to find surface water, otherwise groundwater two or three meters dug out is your luck, desert areas ten meters before water is possible. So generally either don't dig, dig don't just dig knee to give up, physical strength is very valuable. After finding the surface water to drink, don't hurry to go. If it is living water, there may be crabs or shrimps under the rocks in the shallow water, but don't be too persistent in fishing...

Four, fire

I recommend drilling wood for fire, but preferably in a sunny, dry place, looking for dead wood. It's best to have two people. There are many ways to do this. Bear can spin fire with his own hand, or make a bow. But the one where Bale is burning himself, it's not the same scene, so there could be editing. It is very difficult and takes a long time for a person to make a fire. It is not easy to choose the materials alone. It is almost never possible to drill a fire out of fresh water-bearing wood, unless you have the speed of a power drill.

The environment THAT the problem basically asks is: HAD better divide wetland of grassland desert forest

The people who can say this are either armchair experts or top experts. I know a little bit about deserts and a little bit about forests, but not about grasslands and wetlands.

Last but not least, the one who can tell direction in the wild is said in many military novels. The time of the watch is pointed at the sun, and then the hour hand forms an Angle with the position of 12 o 'clock, and the bisector of the Angle is the south... But I think this method is too boring, with China's geographical location, there is the sun, there is a watch, most of the situation already know the direction. So, you'd better have three north Pointers in different places.

Well, as for the method of making traps, digging holes, and drilling wood for fire, you can find it yourself. But don't believe you can do it as easily as you read about it or see it on TV. If you have a plan to go to the wild, don't rely on a book or an article to get over the mountains. This article also can't say exactly what to do, but at least it can say casually what not to do. So you have to train more, in order to do it.of fruit birds have eaten, throw a piece of melon rind to the chicken to eat a few bites and pick it up to see, it is very easy to distinguish. Also, a lot of wild fruit is the flow of juice, white, yellow juice of the wild fruit less than last resort do not eat, some can eat, but not sure whether there is poison.
