Whether you’re lost in the forest or testing your mettle against nature, you need to be prepared if you’re trying to survive in the wild.

You should look for bodies of water in the earth and valleys. If you’re in a mountainous region, there’s a reasonable chance that if you walk parallel to a mountain you’ll find a stream or river eventually. If you do find a body of water, you should build your shelter near it. Don’t build the shelter on the water’s edge, though, because chances are that (possibly dangerous) animals will be in the area to quench their thirst.

2.Sterilize water from lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers.

You should always boil any water that you collect from a body of water in nature. To boil water with a boiling pit, dig a hole approximately 2 feet (0.61 m) long by 2 feet (0.61 m) wide by 2 feet (0.61 m) deep next to your campfire. Then, use a container like a hat or a shoe to transport water from your water source to the pot.

I hope you read my blog and take on this useful advice.
