pocket guide to outdoor survival

You can build a snow cavern that can protect you against winter storms. Find a large snow drift that is stable and dig a T shape in it. At the base, make a T-shaped entrance for the snow cave. The snow cave interior should reach at least waist high. You can fill it with snow, and then seal the door using snowballs, blocks, bags, or bags. Your new snow shelter can be used to sleep.

Before you dig, make sure that the snow is completely removed. The wall should be thick enough to prevent snow from settling down and ice from dripping. Be sure to dig down to ground level to avoid collapse. Once you have dug the hole, you can form your snow cave. You might find it hard to breathe in so be sure to place some plastic bags underneath. Enjoy your new snow cave! Be sure to bring a shovel and a hammer along with a pair gloves.

How To

How to keep food alive in a survival situation

The best way to preserve food in a long-term emergency is by drying it. Drying foods removes moisture which makes them last longer. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.

Dried fruits can be used as snacks in emergencies and don't require cooking. They're easy to carry around, and you can eat as much as you want without worrying about weight gain.

While you can dry fruit at your home using a dehydrator and a sun oven, it's much more convenient to do so in a commercial setting. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

When preserving food, it is essential to make sure that the container is airtight. This stops oxygen from entering the container, which can cause food to spoil. Preservatives are not necessary if the container is tightly sealed.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt is a good way to prevent mold growth. Next, you should add vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

To get started, you'll need to cut up your food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Next, place the food inside a plastic bag. Place the food inside a plastic bag. Keep it warm until it dries fully.

After the food is dried, seal it in a container. Be careful not to let anything touch the food.
