Survivalist Skills For Wilderness Survival

Mar 7

Whether you are going for a long hike or just enjoying the outdoors, it is important to be prepared for any situation that may arise. Knowing what to pack and how to use the essential survivalist skills can be the difference between life and death.

Survivalist Skill #1: Find Shelter

Having a place to stay is essential for your safety in the wilderness. Having a shelter, such as a makeshift tent or lean-to, can keep you warm at night, help regulate your body temperature, and protect you from predatory animals. It is also an effective way to protect you from the elements and insects.

Survivalist Skill #2: Find Water

It can be a challenge to find drinking water in the wild, especially during an emergency or natural disaster. This is why learning how to filter and purify water is a must have in your arsenal of survival skills.

Learn how to filter water by removing harmful bacteria and other particles with a simple method that is easy to do on your own. A basic water filter can make a world of difference, so be sure to take the time to learn how to build your own DIY one.

Survivalist Skill #3: First Aid

Having knowledge of how to treat injuries, such as cuts, scrapes and burns is critical for your survival in the wild. Having the ability to stop bleeding and treat wounds will prevent the spread of infection.

Survivalist Skill #4: Building Fire

Keeping warm and warding off predators are just two of the reasons why it is important to have a fire. Learning how to start a fire by hand without the need of a lighter is key for survival in the wilderness.

The key is to practice. If you’re new to building fire, try experimenting with innovative ways to get it started in damp or cold weather.

Survivalist Skill #5: Signalling

Using a whistle and other means of signaling is another essential survival skill. It is an excellent way to call for help if you become lost.

Survivalist Skill #6: Tie a Knot

A skill that is often overlooked, knot tying is an essential tool for building a shelter and setting snares. It takes time to perfect, but it is worth the effort.

You can learn how to tie a secure knot by practicing with a rope and some tinder. It is a great exercise to do with a partner or family member and will benefit your overall survival abilities.

Survivalist Skill #7: Hunting and Fishing

Having these essential skills can help you avoid becoming prey to wild animals and provide an abundance of protein that will sustain you in the wild. They are also vital in case of a natural disaster or emergency, such as a hurricane or tornado.

It is also a good idea to know how to hunt and fish, as well as how to set a snare for catching small game, such as rabbits or squirrels. Having these skills will not only ensure your own survival, but can also save the lives of other people in the area.
