Introduction
There is something to be said for preparation. See, surviving outdoors in not an easy task. There are so many things that we take for granted and assume w e ll have access to. The mobile signals, for instanc e while within city limits, w e re never short on signals, the same cannot be said for the wild. Once yo u re out in the no-signal zone, your chances of obtaining immediate help drop immensely. Make that winter and yo u re in the worst muck ever.
So, not only do you need to be ready whenever yo u re planning for a trip to the wilderness, you need to take pre-cautions with the weather and its associated elements in mind.
W e ll begin by reviewing what we know about winter,common concerns associated with it and why preparation is necessary when yo u re taking a trip outdoors. Then, w e ll move on to the practical tips yo u re going to need when yo u re out in the open.
Winter is the coldest season, and consists of shorter days and longer nights. Winter may be mild in some temperate areas but in polar regions, it heralds the arrival of snow and below-freezing-point temperatures.
Humans are susceptible to cold. Common health issues associated with winter include flu, hypothermia and seasonal affective disorder. In snowy areas, the issues of snow-blindness may arise, along with slipping on ice or getting injured by falling icicles.
Preparation does not ensure we will not have any problems but it will ensure we have resources available at hand and significantly up your chances of survival. With that established, we can move on to the 20 tips you need to survive the wild winter.
You may be wondering what the Maslo w s pyramid has to do with survival kits.
I ll explain.
At the bottom of the pyramid lie the physiological needs: food, water, shelter and warmth. The pyramid indicates which needs have to be addressed before we can move on to the next. So, the physiological needs are the ones necessary for survival.
So, we can divide the survival tips under these four heads: Food, Water, Shelter and Warmth.
And the survival kit you prepare needs to contain things which can help address these needs. It should be prepared prior to travelling. It is something to help us tide over in case of emergencies, to have some handy essentials with us.
The items which should go into your survival kit, while covering the basics, should be customized to your plans. So consider this: what type of environment are you going in? Are you going to be hiking or trekking most of the way? Are you travelling by car? I m going to go out a limb here and assume that when going out in the wild, we enjoy being on foot.
This means that our kit needs to be handy enough to be easily carried, around 25 to 30 % of their body weight in a backpack. It needs to be light and filled only with the basics. Instead of being elaborate, the survival kit needs to be practical and stick to the basics.
Keep the most important items in a place tha t s reachable at all time s our own body. Since there is only so much we can carry on our person so, if the items w e re carrying are multifunctional, tha t s even better.
That does not mean, however, that you should not prepare a kit. It is best if you choose a case or first-aid kit or anything that suits your needs: it should be durable, waterproof and easy to carry.
So, from what Maslow said: four basic need of food, water, warmth and shelter. In that order, our kit should contain items meant for:
- Fire
- Water
- Food
- Shelter
Additionally, look at the needs right above the physiological one s yep, need for safety. So, to address those needs, w e ll have items which are meant for:
- First aid
- Signaling
Le t s proceed.
Perhaps the biggest concern in the winter wilderness is staying warm. The good thing is that you do n t have to worry and can always stop and make a fire to warm yourself up. The fire in this case will serve multiple purposes: keep you warm, cook food and melt snow to provide water.
You can carry matches, tinder, lighters, flints or even some fuel, or high quality burners. The reason for this is that you do n t know what kind of situation are you going need to light a fire in. Sometimes, lighters stop working due to cold; the matches may get damp etc. So it is best to have a back-up plan. One smart solution to that is to pack a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass will concentrate the light on a single spot and the heat is sufficient enough to set it on fire.
Yes, w e ve all seen how they rubdry sticks together and it burns or how, if you hit two pebbles, i t ll spark. But honestly, how many of us have actually tried doing it and succeeded? So, its best if you can learn to make a fire without resorting to matches or lighters. Practice makes perfect.
Carry some paper with you. This can serve as fuel for the fire and help get it going. It can be anything from toilet paper, newspaper, notebooks or anything else. Make sure to have some handy.
In winter landscape, there is always some debris available and dry sticks serve as excellent kindling. If the wood is hard and brittle and snaps off cleanly, i t ll burn. If it breaks but leaves splinters behind and not a clean break, then i t s not good and will smoke a lot without burning. Do not use wood lying in the snow because i t ll be damp; instead look in the lower branches of the trees.
