learn to read weather, you can predict to good accuracy what the fire is going to do, <30% humidity is good fire weather
Ahh you are so correct, its not as simple as a thought or even a camping trip. even with plenty of traps set up, you have to keep consistancy of checking them and often times reseting them. There can and will be times you go days, possably weeks without a catch. however there are other "avenues" to go down as well such as bug eating, growing your own, and some other stuff as well. know though, that the more traps, and various kinds of traps will up your chances of food. i plan to use snare, rockfall, and pits to catch my food. yet if food is scarce im willing to do what is nessicary for mine and my familys survival.Theres more to survivng in the wild than anyone thinks. Im not trying to come down on anyone, just trying to get some thought provoking started. Woods survival is more than an extended camping trip. I have said it here many times before, 99% of people think they can do it and most wont last 2 weeks with only what they can carry in on there back. There's a lot more to it than cleaning a fish or gutting a deer.
Bar BQ!It is a shame how much man relies on fire and yet the average Joe can't start a fire from scratch, much less have any idea how to conceal a fire, or even how to make a safe fire bed.
Know what you get after a forest fire?
Crispy critters!
A high spot in a forest fire is the worst possible place to be. Stay in low areas. Fire likes to travel up hill and moves with the wind. Once it gets big enough it does create it's own wind. I'd find a place along a creek, river or lake to sit tight. You can always go for a swim to stay alive.one situation comes to mind..others has suggested going deep into the forrest.thats the first thing to do. 2nd is locateing a well hid spot.cave or a high spot thats hid by view like a combination of rock formation and trees..pick the location where the fire willl be.might make sure there's branchs over head.that'll filter the smoke at least some what..clear it of all grass weeds and debree.at least 3 feet out from center of fire..then the fire pit. of choice..
