Cherish's Bush Survival, T4

                                               Shelter

Your shelter needs to cover you from wind and rain to protect you.

• Set your tent up on a flat and dry surface. So that your tent is straight and comfortable!

Build your shelter away from water,creeks,rivers and lakes.

                                 Fire

• Make sure your fire is located in a area were your fire won't blow out from the wind.
• Try make your fire as small as possible so that it can minimise the fuel your using.
• Use dry wood because if you use wet wood then your fire will keep going out and won't start.

                                         Water

• Find water that runs down hill and flows because it is likely to be already filtered and has least bacteria in the it.
• Focus on water. Once you have found your water purify it, drink it and then store it somewhere for later. Because if you only find a bottle worth of water you have to save some for when you really need it. 

To filter your water you can boil it over a fire

                       

                                     Signalling for help

• Start a fire, when people see smoke that alerts them to know were you are.
• If you have a whistle blow it as hard and loud as you can, Don't panic and keep your eye on the surroundings. 
• If know one finds your signal use a mirror face it to the sun and make 3 reflective flash rows which will show the universal sign for S.O.S.
