Survival

//Survival// __Be prepared.__ Whether surviving in a desert, snow, rainforest, bushland or a coral island, a few things should always be taken to ensure the best chance of survival. The bare necessities in a survival situation are shelter, warmth, water, food and something to attract attention [eg. red flag, whistle.] Things to always take include: //1. ////Two bottles water. // //2. ////Preserved food.// //3. ////Large poncho for shelter.// //4. ////Warm rain jacket.// //5. ////Flashlight// //6. ////Whistle.// //7. ////Camping knife.// //8. ////Lighter/matches.// You shouldn’t go on a long hike or camping trip without these things.

__Getting Rescued__ The most important thing is to stay where you are. This will make you easier to find. Of course, this is not always possible. For example, there is no way Timothy and Philip could have stayed where they were, in the middle of the Caribbean. But wherever possible, stay put. If you hear a helicopter or plane the best thing for you to do is to make a fire and burn lots of leafs so there is heaps of smoke, make lots of noise too. Blow your whistle loudly every few minutes so searchers can locate you.
