Survival Tips 5 of 5

Build a Bivouac

Bivouacs reflect a fire's warmth, serve as a windbreak and provide overhead shelter in emergency situations.  They can be erected without tools in an hour if you are in an area with downed timber - less if you find a makeshift ridgepole such as a leaning or partly fallen tree to support the boughs.

Step one:
Wedge a ridgepole into the lower forks of two closely growing trees (one end can rest on the ground, if necessary), or support each end of the ridgepole with a tripod of upright poles lashed together near the top.

Step two:
Tilt branches or poles against the ridgepole to make a frame.  To strengthen it, interlace boughs through the poles at right angles.

Step three:
Thatch the lean-to with slabs of bark and/or leafy or pine-needle branches.  Chink with sod, moss or snow to further insulate.

Directions By a Watch:

You can use a watch that has hour and minute hands to get an accurate indication of north and south (depending on which hemisphere you are in).  This technique is most reliable on a clear day when you can see the sun, but if it's cloudy, simply look for the brightest area of the sky.

Northern Hemisphere:
- Point the hour hand of your watch at the sun.  South will be halfway between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock.

Southern Hemisphere:
- Point the 12 o'clock mark of your watch at the sun.  North lies halfway between 12 and the hour hand.

Survival Tips 3 of 5

Get Your Bearings:
One way to determine direction without the aid of a compass is to drive a straight 3-foot-long stick into the ground in a sunny location and set a stone where the tip of the shadow falls on the ground.  Wait 20 minutes and then place another rock in the spot where the tip of the shadow has moved.  The first marker indicates the west end of a line running beteween the two rocks, the second marks the east.

Survival Tips 2 of 5

Rig a Snare:
In a survival situation, snares are a good way to catch some food.  They can be made from wire, fishing line, twine, strips of leather or cloth, rope or even shoelaces. 
Step One:
When using wire or other stiff material, bend the tip over and twist several times to form an eye.  The run the wire's other end through the eye to form the noose.  When using more pliant materials, make a loop that's closed with a slipknot.
Step Two:
Suspend the noose in a game trail, den hole entrance or other spot where animals are likely to pass.  The noose should be large enough for the animals head to pass through, but not its shoulders, so it will draw tight and hold the forward-moving animal.
Step Three:
Attach each snare to a solid anchor such as a nearby tree or a stake driven into the ground.
Check them frequently.

Survival Tips 1 of 5

Build a Solar Still:

- A solar still is one of the best methods for obtaining water in apparently dry areas.  In a low, unshaded area, dig a hole 1.5' deep and 3' in diameter.  Place a can or jar in the center of the hole and cover the hole with a large sheet of plastic, sealing the edges with dirt and rocks.  Put a rock in the center of the plastic directly above the container.  Moisture is drawn from the earth beneath the plastic and condenses on the underside of the sheet.  The water then runs down and drips into your container.  Greenery, such as chunks of cactus, lining the hole will increase production.  Depending on conditions, you might produce on pint to one quart of water daily.

My Favorite Outdoor Pursuit - T Shirt Contest Winning Entry

Below is the winning entry from our recent contest, asking our fans to tell us about their favorite "Outdoor Pursuit" - congratulations Andy Wheatley, you've won yourself an OPC T Shirt!


Although I am an active , Fisherman, Hiker, camper and overall outdoor enthusiast. My Favorite outdoor pursuit is Pond Hockey! There is nothing more gratifying than hiking into an area with a shovel, My Skates and stick. Finding an Ice surface. Testing it, clearing it and then having a good old fashion game of shinny with my buddies! I am 40 and have been doing this my whole life. It is by far my favorite part of being Canadian. I Have yet to find anything else that brings such a rush and such a great time! In my time finding Ice to play on I have seen a wealth of animals, some of the most beautiful scenery ever and some of the most fantastic sunrises and sunsets! We have even camped at sites to make a weekend out of it. The food always tastes great and the beer is always cold! The best kind of "outdoor pursuit" I can think of!



Thanks


Andy Wheatley
