This page is all about how to survive when you get caught out unprepared in the wilderness.
Shelter
Snow Shelters
In winter, conditions, snow shelters become a viable option. They are very warm and windproof compared to other kinds of shelters. A well executed snow shelter is superior to a tent in many ways. There are many kinds of snow shelters including snow caves, quinzhees and igloos.
Fire
- An experiment has shown that cotton balls combined with either rubbing alcohol (an antiseptic; a must for a first aid kit) or petroleum jelly make good fire starters. Further studies need to be done to determine which is better, but a possibly biased observation is that the petroleum jelly burns longer.
