Deep Survival
How to survive in the wilderness 101
Everyone at one point in their lives has a situation where they have to decide or do something on their own. The more experience they have the better the outcome usually is. What if you had to survive in the wilderness by yourself? Could you find food, make a fire, make shelter, etc. In the short writing Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales, she explains many reasons or ways people survive in these situations.

You never know it might be right around the corner or over the next hill. Now wouldn’t that stink extremely bad if you gave up right before you get there. There are many stories that have this kind of ending.

If he would have listens to his advice because he has more experience he would still be alive. The best way to learn things is through experience. Most people would agree with me. If you did not know how to build a fire how could you survive? Unless you ate only fruits and vegetables, good luck. Back in the older days before there was electricity people would use friction by rubbing two sticks together until it starts smoking, then turns into fire.
Third, celebrating the little things helps. If I made it across a river I would celebrate my success in some way, shape, or form. If this pushes you to your destination, then you will have a great pace. Say you had some food in your pocket, you are really hungry, you could bribe yourself to go further until you think it’s the
