Fire

- 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
