Most of humanity is accustomed to the benefitscivilization. People move in cars, live in relatively comfortable homes, use electricity, purified water, air conditioning. And those of them who occasionally spend weekends in nature, do not travel far. They go mostly to familiar places, where you can quickly get home. There are, of course, enthusiasts, as well as those who out of duty study the autonomous existence of man in nature, but their number is small. There are even those who are specifically involved in trying to survive in the wild, preparing for a global catastrophe, but society treats them, to put it mildly, like weird people.
But knowing the basic principles of survival will not preventnot just mushroom pickers or those who love to go camping for a few days, but also a simple homebody. After all, sooner or later a situation may arise when a homebody will find himself in the forest alone or with a friend, and you need to go back. It is especially important to know the principles of survival for people living near large tracts of forests, for example, near the taiga. Survival in the taiga is quite possible if you know how to navigate the terrain in any way, know how to distinguish between edible plants, know how to make a fire or build a temporary shelter.
As a rule, an inexperienced person who fell into the taigaand lost in her, begins to panic. This is a normal reaction - the fear of the unknown. First of all, you need to calm down and not take any rash actions. Then you need to start remembering the road along which you moved. Although in most cases this is almost impossible.
Survival in the taiga involves the abilitynavigate the terrain. You can navigate by the sun, by the stars and the moon, by a compass, by a map, by local features. The ideal situation is when there is a map or a compass, or at least just a compass. If there is no map or compass, the easiest way is to navigate through the heavenly bodies.
Only after the direction is determined,you can start the movement. An important role in such a case as survival in the taiga, is played by the method of movement. It is necessary to create as little noise as possible while listening to every rustle. Over fallen logs need to step. It should be remembered that in the evening or at night the audibility always rises. In the swampy area you need to move with a long pole. It is necessary to hold the pole horizontally, at chest level. A long pole should be used when crossing the river. Rivers in the taiga with a very strong flow, so crossing the river ford is necessary as a last resort.
Fishing in the taiga, as well as the collection of edibleplants, and the device overnight, will help to survive in those days, while the search operation will take place. But fishing is possible only in lakes, streams or streams. Therefore, if you had to stay in the taiga for the night, you need to equip yourself with a kind of rookery and make a fire. While the fire is burning, wild animals in the area will not dare to come close. A tent or shelter will be needed as a shelter from the weather.
If there is no opportunity to focus onterrain, and it is impossible to go back, after the panic attack, you can do the following. If you have a mobile phone with you, you need to call (if there is a connection), report the incident and wait for the rescuers. If the rescuers did not arrive before nightfall, you need to equip the hut and wait for the morning.
Further survival in the taiga comes down tothe following. We need to find a small log, in the forest it will not be a problem. And go for it in the direction of its expansion. Soon, it will move to a wider one, then to a wider one, streams will appear. As soon as a stream or a river meets, you need to go with the flow until you encounter a ford or a crossing. Through it, as a rule, there is a forest road. It is here that you need to continue moving - it will necessarily lead to some village or village. If the road becomes more abandoned and overgrown as you move, you need to turn around and go the other way.
