Wilderness survival TIPS

Be Prepared

Where are you planning to get your food, OP?

Eat food to live, water helps too.
Don't fall over.
Wear clothes.

What sort of tips? You're being a bit vague.

Depending on the time of year it'll either be snowing or just wet and cold. There should be plenty of water availability but food may be an issue. Set up your tent in semi sheltered locations because the wind picks up like a bitch.
Remember the rule of threes if in a shitty situation.

Oh and are you doing part of the BNT?

Stick the tip of your knife into a thick piece of branch. The stick is your handle. Now you have a planer.

Bring an empty water bottle to piss in at night. It will keep you warm as well as prevent you from going outside in freezing rain/snow at 2am.
>but anon that's the best part of the trip
not when your tent mate gets piss all over himself because he couldn't unzip fast enough when he ran 100m in the woods and brings the shit back with him.

When you build a fire in snowy conditions, are you supposed to create a dry base such as a rock, bed of split logs, etc or can you do what the guy in OP's pic is doing and just build it on top of snow without digging to the dirt bed below?

You can build it on top of snow, but it takes some doing.

Firstly, obviously it will continue to melt down, digging a hole. For this reason it's bad for heat generation since most of the heat is absorbed by the walls of the hole.

Second, the dampness of the hole causes obvious problems. You can't have a coal bed, for instance. The fire will not get as hot as it needs to be to stay warm throughout the night.

Third, you will constantly be fighting to keep it aflame. The lack of oxygen in the pit will require a Dakota fire hole. The increased moisture will make it difficult to catch new fuel.

I've found that starting a fire like OP's pic works, and then jamming fuel into the sides of the hole wall works great. Keep the bottom of the fire 1/3 of the way to the top of the hole. Create an air vent at the bottom. Add fuel from the top, support it on the sides no lower than halfway down.

>tldr; suspend your fire in a snow hole. Use an air vent from underneath.

PLC (Personal Locator Beacon).

Even a skilled outdoorsman/survival expert can get in a trouble. Too often it's the attitude what kills. If that's the case, no tip or trick will keep you alive.

Take a WFR or WEMT course if you're serious about wanting to save your life or someone else's.
