Survival

Survival comes from the word survive means capable of defending itself from a particular situation. In this case able to defend themselves from a bad situation and critical. While Survivor is a person who is defending itself from a bad state. In order to survive in difficult situations, we must strive to meet our basic needs of what is available around us. Thus the need mastery of survival techniques, including techniques to make fire, making shelter techniques, techniques to create trap, a technique to get water, and signaling techniques to create a trail.

FireFire not only serves to cook food ingredients, but also serves to maintain our body temperature. In addition to the fireplace we can avoid the various animals. Beast afraid of fire, among others: wolves, tigers, and so on. To warm the body, the heat of the fire will warm up more effectively if we make a few small fires instead of making a big fire. Good fireplace should be arranged so that the wood can burn evenly. With good preparation of the fireplace can provide a variety of functions. In addition to warm, cook, can also be used as an animal deterrent tool. To get a good fireplace, wood necessary / material dry and flammable. Good fireplace usually starts from small branches to be used as a fire starter. To then be followed by a timber larger. To get the fire other than using a special tool (lighters / shutter), can also be done in the traditional way. Like swipe-friction dry ingredients with the other dry ingredients. Lies the success of the traditional fire-making, namely in the form of rods and type of materials / wood and the way it does.

Technique to Make FireSparks is the initial stage in the manufacture of fire. The next step was to endeavor to catch sparks with tinder or twigs and dry leaves.

1. banging How this is done by banging two hard objects. Can be done in two similar objects or with two objects of different types. Ways that can be used vary, which is important is that it can cause sparks. One way is by nailing wooden flat plane to the visible part of the head only. Then friction / knock, stone or metal in the direction of the nail head. Friction with slightly suppressed and rather quickly to cause sparks. Then the sparks can be captured with a dry husk, and so on.2. The saw Api (Fire Saw) This method requires considerable power and strong. This method utilizes the effect of heat caused by friction of wood. The method is like sawing wood with other wood, causing sparks. Usually the wood used is different between the wooden one with the other timber. The selected wood is a soft wood that is not too difficult to do sawmill.3. Fire Fire Thong Thong is a way to get a fire of dried bark or rattan crosses drawn on a piece of wood or rattan dry. The rattan skin wrapped around a tree soft, and pulled by the right and left hand turns. At the bottom are given fiber, tinder, or dried leaves are ready to catch sparks. 

ShelterShelter is intended to protect survivors of natural influences, such as heat, rain, wind, and cold. This protection can be built from materials that had been taken or of the materials available in nature (wood, leaves, etc.).

 Things that need to be considered in the construction of the shelter are:- Do not build a shelter in a risky stagnant water (flooding), as on the banks of the river. Although it looked clean and dry, it is very dangerous when it comes to rain.-In The manufacture shelter under trees knaggy not fragile or under a palm tree. Because it can be harmful if branches brittle or coconuts that fall on our shelter.-Not In a suspected den of wild animals or mosquito / insect. Because it can interfere with rest.Shelter-materials maker must be strong and his workmanship was best, because it will affect our comfort.

Examples of luggage that can be used as a shelter is a plastic poncho or measuring approximately 2 x 2 meters. Because the shelter constructed from a plastic poncho or less perfect, and therefore in addition to the four above, need to pay attention to the direction the wind is blowing. So that the direction the wind is blowing can be driven by the shelter we build. Examples of shelter can be seen in pictures.

  

Other forms of nature that can be used as a shelter that cave, the curve of the cliff / rock deep enough, the holes in the ground, and so on.

When selecting hope cave is believed that:

The cave is not an animal nest.

The cave does not emit toxic gases. The classic way to know is by using a torch. If the torch can continue to burn in the cave, the cave means safe from toxic gases.

The cave is free from the danger of landslides.

TrapOne of the skills that support the activities of survival is the expertise of creating trap. These traps are used to capture the survivor animals for meat to be eaten. Creating trap sometimes require other materials, such as rubber, wire, rope, and so on. Therefore these items are available in a survival kit.In the manufacture of traps, animals should be known what is commonly through or staying in that area. By knowing what the animals will be captured, we can customize the type of trap to be made. Keep in mind that the trap will be futile if the animal has been trapped to escape. Thus the making of traps are usually in the form of a simple but have good strength.Trap so many different types and kinds, as in the manufacture of the trap depends on the creation of a survivor. We will discuss five types of traps are often used. 


Hanging Snare 

Trap hang models usually use:
Tree limb spasticity.

Peg given curvature and connected by a rope.

Noose ago connecting branches are flexible with stakes, so that when the rocking lasso rope on the loose and the stakes will be interesting branches, until eventually rope will ensnare.

The trap is intended to capture a fairly large animals such as rabbits, chickens, ducks, and others. 

Once you get the knowledge to be a survivor, you can learn every mountain mountain in Central Java, Indonesia.
