Survival Tips For Extreme Cold

We watched a movie version of a book called “To Build a Fire.” He man was colt in extreme cold and he wasn’t ready for the cold wether.First you need to think about what you need so you don’t die. You need to know what to have. You need to know how to start a fire. You need to know how to billed a shelter.

First if you are going to somewhere and it is extremely cold you need a lot of clothing, something to mack a fire, something to get wood, a place to sleep so you aren’t in the cold, tack a warm coat, a hat, some gloves, some warm boot, and some food bares for food for protein.

Next you need to know how to mack a fire because you’re going to have more trouble starting a fire in the winter than you would in the summer. Dry wood and especially dry tinder is much harder to find. So, you’ll need to carry fire starters that can overcome the damp in the wood, as well as including their own tinder. Here are three that I recommend tacking Cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly Work the petroleum jelly into the cotton ball with the back side of a spoon, until it is well-saturated. Will burn for about three minutes. Dryer lint and candle wax Dryer lint and cotton balls are almost the same thing. Make balls out of the lint and put them into the cups of a cardboard egg carton. Pour melted wax into the cups as well, soaking the lint with the wax. The wax doesn’t need to totally fill the cup, just to soak the lint. Burn time depends upon how much wax you use. The last thing you can tack is Black powder and nail polish remover Put fine black powder #FFFFg into a bowl and cover it with oily nail polish remover. You must use the type that has acetone in it, so check the label. Knead the two together, making a putty out of it. Knead this to make a layered ball. The finished fire starter must be stored in an airtight container, as the acetone will try and evaporate out. Once dry, this fire starter loses its effectiveness. This type of fire starter will burn at over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit for over three minutes, making it great for damp wood.

The last thing you need to know is you need to know how to billed shelter.Depending upon where you are, snowstorms can come upon you quickly. Mountains and trees deny you the ability to see much of the sky, so you might have a storm sneaking up on you and not be able to see it. Whenever you have the opportunity, take a good look around to make sure that you have ample warning of any weather problems that are headed your way. If it doesn’t look like you can get out in time, then use your time to prepare a shelter and hunker down. Ultimately, your survival is more important than getting home on time. Your shelter need to be able to keeping the wind out keeping heat in acting as a heat reflector.
