Question: Can you give me some tips on surviving in the wild without any equipment?
Answer: Surviving in the wild without any equipment is indeed extremely challenging, but mastering the following core skills can significantly improve your probability of survival. The following is a step-by-step practical guide:
---
### **1. Prioritize the core needs of survival (in order of importance)**
-**Water** (not drinking water for 3 days can be fatal)
-**Find water sources**: Walk along the low part of the valley, observe the dense vegetation (such as willow trees, near reeds), and listen to the sound of flowing water.
-**Purified water**: If there is no source of fire, use sunlight disinfection method: fill a transparent container (such as a plastic bag) with water and leave it in the sun for 6 hours (ultraviolet sterilization). Or dig a leachate well (dig a pit in wet sand, wait for the oozing water to settle and scoop up the upper layer of water).
-**Alternative **: Use clothing to collect dew in the early morning, or chew the stems of non-toxic plants to get moisture.
-**Fire** (heating, purifying water, repelling beasts)
-**Drill wood to get fire**: Find dry cork (such as pine), rub it quickly with hardwood sticks, and use bark fibers to make tinder. The key: maintain the pressure and speed, and gently blow to aid combustion after the smoke rises.
-**Fire mirror substitute**: Use the mobile phone screen and the polished surface of ice cubes (when the sunlight is strong) to focus on the sunlight and ignite the tinder.
-**Shelter** (anti-temperature loss)
-**Site selection**: Stay away from tuyere, flood line, animal trail, and close to resources (water, firewood).
-**Build**: Use branches to build an A-shaped frame, covering ferns, bark or fallen leaves (at least 30cm thick). The floor is covered with dry leaves to keep out moisture.
-**Food** (it will be fatal if you don't eat for 3 weeks, priority is given to the first three)
-**Safety test**: First test for skin contact with unfamiliar plants, then lightly touch the lips, and then eat in small quantities after there is no tingling sensation.
-**Easy to obtain food**: earthworms (soaked in soil and roasted), ants (high in protein), whole dandelion plants, acorns (need to be soaked multiple times to remove astringency).

### **2. Navigation and signals (increase the chance of rescue)**
-**Natural navigation**:
-Northern hemisphere: Observe moss during the day (how long it grows on the north side of the trunk), and look for Polaris at night.
-Use the shadow method: insert the stick vertically, the top shadow is marked as A, and it is marked as B after 15 minutes. The direction of A→B is east→west.
-**Signal skills**:
-Reflective signal: Use metal ore and ice to reflect sunlight, flashing regularly.
-Ground signal: use stones/branches to put out SOS (at least 3 meters long), or burn damp green plants to create thick smoke.

### **3. Hazard response**
-**Beast Defense**:
-Bear: Retreat slowly, avoid looking directly, and protect the back of the neck when pretending to be dead (only for brown bears).
-Wolf/leopard: Keep standing, wave torches, and make noise.
-**Injury treatment**:
-Hemostasis: pressurize and bandage with clean moss, and use vines as a tourniquet (loosen once every 15 minutes).
-Fracture: fixed with branches and bark, tied with vines.

### **4. Psychological adjustment**
-**STOP principle**:
-**S**top (stop): Calmly evaluate the situation.
-**T**hink (thinking): List available resources.
-**O**bserve (observation): find water sources and shelters.
-**P**lan (plan): Act according to survival priority.

###**Key reminder**
-**Avoid excessive physical exertion**: Rest for 5 minutes every hour to maintain your core body temperature.
-**Do not eat unknown fungi**: Most poisonous mushrooms have no antidote.
-**Damp =dangerous**: At low temperatures at night, wet clothes can cause dehydration and death faster than starvation.
After mastering these skills, your probability of survival will be greatly improved. It is recommended to participate in field survival training (such as **making fires without tools, trap making**) to enhance muscle memory.
