Dear friends,

I am Jyoti from India and im here going to participate in this SEC 14 Week21 contest :https://steemit.com/hive-188972/@travelingsteem/sec-s14w2-or-surviving-in-the-nature.

Surviving alone in a forest, desert, or on an island is not that easy. I have seen live programs like this on Discovery, National Geography Channel etc. I don't know how real it is but it was an opportunity to know how to survive if a similar situation happened to us.

Surviving in the Nature

Which natural spot (desert, jungle or Isle) do you feel you'll probably survive on a best way? State reasons.

As I was born and raised in a hill station, I have spent time in the forest. What I learned from these experiences, as well as watching these programs on television, is that survival in the jungle is somewhat easier than survival in the other two places.

Because in the forest we definitely get water and food. Similarly, we can build a shelter with sticks, leaves and vines to protect ourselves. Likewise, if it gets cold, you can make a fire with the logs and logs and keep the body warm. You can also cook and eat the meat and vegetables available there through the fire.

Such facilities are definitely not available to us in the desert and water is very rare in the desert. Without water we can quickly become ill from de-hydration and even die. Similarly, if we were stranded on an isolated island, we would have very little chance of getting food and water there, and I can't expect to have supplies lying around to make a shelter. If the island mangrove we are stuck in is also a low land area, there is no chance of vegetables and animals, but only poisonous snakes and insects, so it is very rare for us to survive there.

Which skills do you need to stay there without big issue while you wait to be rescued? Cooking, climbing, swimming, etc.

All the above mentioned three skills are very helpful for us to survive. We need all three to save ourselves in times of danger. For example, if we have learned to swim, when an animal chases us in the forest, if there is a river or pond there, we can jump into the water and swim to escape from them. Then surely we can survive by using our swimming skill.

And secondly, if we know how to climb a tree, when such animals give up, we can immediately climb the tree and escape, similarly we can survive by eating the fruits and nuts of the tree. Also, if there is water in a tree like coconut, we can drink it and give hydration to our body.

Thirdly, if we know how to cook, we can cook deliciously, eat and even live happily in that place. But it is not necessary to know how to cook, we can stay alive if we cook and eat the food we got to survive.

Which are the essential you can't forget there and why? Mobile, diary, pet... Anything is valid.

Among the above items I think mobile is the most essential because if we have a mobile we can inform others about our situation to protect ourselves. Similarly we can converse with others while we are there. Also we can see videos like how to protect yourself in difficult times. You can pass the time by watching movies, songs, videos and reduce stress. Also a mobile can create light in the dark so I assume the mobile was there.

With a diary we can only record the things that happened there, a diary can never help in surveying the place.

A job is that if our pet is a good powerful dog, it can be helpful as a walking friend, while other cats and parrots will miss the pet and it will not help us to protect ourselves in that place.

Which are the disadvantages for being very dependent of any urban lifestyle?

With the artificial comforts of city life, we have become accustomed to living in isolation from nature. We are addicted to artificial facilities like Ac, Heater and Vehicles hence we cannot bear the climate and conditions of nature. For examples:

• As we use air conditioners to cool down the heat in city life, we can't stand the sun at times like this.

• As we are used to heaters and warm beds in winters, we cannot survive cold deserts.

• As we are used to eating vegetables and fruits cooked, if we eat vegetables and fruits raw in the area where we survive, we get allergic.

• Having always depended on vehicles, walking has become rare. So we can't walk at a time like this. We become tired when an chases us to attack or when we have to walk a long distance.
