When Traveling In a Hostile Wilderness Environment, Do:
-
Invest in night vision tools.
-
Learn to walk quietly in soft soled shoes.
-
Carry a quiet weapon like a bow, crossbow, spear or lance.
-
Travel quietly
-
Blend in with the shadows and cover short distances.
-
Make sure you are not being followed. Look 10 feet ahead and 100 feet ahead. Be totally aware.
-
Talk in a quiet voice with a low pitch.
When Traveling in a Hostile Wilderness Environment, Don't:
-
Travel during the day.
-
Use a silencer on a gun. It will still make a very loud noise.
-
Try to cover long distances.
-
Rely upon a GPS that can fail you or compromise your position.
-
Use a map with your camp and safe locations marked on it.
Wilderness Navigation Tips:
-
Have a good compass
-
Know your local area like the back of your hand. Know landmarks and safety zones.
-
The moon and stars can guide you.
-
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So does the moon. If you draw a line from the top of the white part of the moon to the bottom of the white part of the moon you will know north and south. The white part of the moon is always to the west so that will tell you which way east and west are. Now you know North, south, east and west.
Featured Quote From Today's Chapter:
“Not many people survived, and those that did were more concerned about essential supplies for their survival, not banding together as a people to recover.”
