Survival Skills

You still have a lot to learn, but at least you've learned six basic wilderness survival skills.

• Finding and Purifying Water. Finding drinkable water when out in the woods is a challenge unless it rains. You can take water from streams, ponds, springs and morning dew.

• Building Shelter. Learning how to build a shelter by using natural materials can be essential for your survival. You will have to protect yourself from extreme elements. Building Fire. We need fire to keep ourselves warm, keep predators away or cook our food.

• Finding Food. If you have the right tools to hunt then do so. If you know how to improvise making hunting weapons then that’s a plus.

• First Aid Application. This basic skill can help you help you survive a situation even with injuries or illnesses. Yeah, there are clerics out there, but what if you aren't around one?

• Navigation. A map and a compass can be a useful tool, but you still need to know how to navigate. It might also be useful to be familiar with the stars of your new world.
