Survival Bag
Pine needle bed for survival in hunting?
My father never took me hunting so I don't know what works and what doesn't. I am trying to get my hunting survival kit down to manageble size. Everyone rolls their eyes when I mention I carry a tent and sleeping bag. I am told to carry a tarp and five heavy duty extra large garbage bags. Where I would hunt is all pine tree forest with a lot of pine needles on the forest floor. I am told to pack the garbage bags with pine needles, and sleep under them. Does this actually work, or will I die of hypothermia?
carry 'space blankets' but more importantly carry multiple effective ways to start a fire.
Carry waterproof matches, a lighter, and one of those magnesium sticks (or a road flare!). In addition, get a small container (like a film canister) and get some cotton balls, dip them in vassiline and put them in the container. They light really easy. A travel pack of kleenex is good for many things, TP and fire are two.
PRACTICE MAKING A FIRE IN THE WIND.
Next, get a whistle and a very small mirror for signaling, and a GPS unit, then go learn how to use it so you don't get lost.
add some food to the pack. Drink tainted water to your heart's content if you are lost. Stay hydrated. Worry about the illnesses you might catch later when you will be back in civilizaiton and have plenty of medical care. (although boiling it if possible would be good, and for that purpose a metal canteen is useful)
Yes, pine needles and or leaves make decent insulation. no need for the garbage bags, just make a big pile of them and crawl in and cover yourself as best you can. Shove them between your shirt and jacket to ehance insulation.
Don't go overboard on your suvival kit. Fire making = 1lb max, space blanket, whistle, mirror, = 0.5 lb max, food 2 lbs max.
Don't put all your fire sources or survival gear in one spot. Hang whistle around neck with matches. Stick one space blanket, lighter, and kleenex in jeans pocket. Put food, another space blanket, tinder, firestarter, mirror, in fanny pack or something.

Survival $12.03 When first published in 1972,Survival was considered the most startling book ever written about Canadian literature. Since then, it has continued to be read and taught, and it continues to shape the way Canadians look at themselves. Distinguished, provocative, and written in effervescent, compulsively readable prose,Survival is simultaneously a book of criticism, a manifesto, and a collection of personal and subversive remarks. Margaret Atwood begins by asking:“What have been the central preoccupations of our poetry and fiction?” Her answer is“survival and victims.”Atwood applies this thesis in twelve brilliant, witty, and impassioned chapters; from Moodie to MacLennan to Blais, from Pratt to Purdy to Gibson, she lights up familiar books in wholly new perspectives. |
