*Identify poisonous plants and fungus.
Identify local edible foliage, tubers and berries.
Sanitize wounds and stitch wounds.
*Collect water from bush/tree leaves using clear trash bags and transpiration. NOTE* DO NOT use poisonous plants for water collection! See first sentence.
Signaling using mirrors and fire.
* NEVER forget past forms of communication and how to use them. Telegraph, Morse code, semaphore, shuttered lights, mirrors, sign language, etc… Today’s society is solely digital and electricity. Without those, we are dead in the water UNLESS you can communicate in alternative ways. Especially when you are in a Charlie-Foxtrot situation.
They teach all of that at the James Bond school for dummies. Only $78 dollars for full course. Must bring your own gear. Enemies included.
Cool! I got 63!
Now I just have to teach my kidlings….and learn the rest….
Properly store food is a BIGGIE. look out for rats, mealmoths, ants, water damage, you name it. If it’s not in an airtight glass or metal container, I would put it in a glass or metal container. Do not underestimate the power of rats to chew through wood and hard plastic or moth larvae to squeeze through microscopic holes. Any dry goods I store in steel containers or large glass jars (Walmart 10-20$). Mylar bags are not rodent proof although I see people putting them in 5 gallon buckets to make them odor locked and pest-deterrent. Personally, I wouldn’t trust them left unattended for any length of time (such as a warehouse). I’ve seen a thicker, plastic container that was supposed to be airtight almost chewed open by a rat. Drying and storing seeds properly is also very important.
Yeah, plastic is worthless when it comes to rats with all the time to chew when everything is quiet and everyone is asleep for hours at a time.
….and kill stranger, you forgot the basics man
yeah, cast out the devil as well
Smoking meat sounds great. But how do you keep it lit???
