JUNGLE SURVIVAL

DEFINITION

Jungle survivals are techniques that a person may use in order to sustain life in any
type of natural environment or built environment. These techniques are meant to
provide basic necessities for human life which include water, food, and shelter. The
skills also support proper knowledge and interactions with animals and plants to
promote the sustaining of life over a period of time. Survival skills are often
associated with the need to survive in a disaster situation. Survival skills are often
basic ideas and abilities that ancients invented and used themselves for thousands of
years.

BENEFITS

1. Increase odds of survival

This is the most obvious result of learning survival skills. Survival training increases
your odds of making it through adverse situations. The majority of survival is based
around preparation, and there is no better preparation than proper training.

2. Outdoor appreciation
Learning outdoor self reliance also teaches an appreciation for nature, and for all that
makes up the natural world. In survival training, respect is learned, as well as a deeper
understanding of how much joy can be found in nature.
3. Bushcraft
Bushcraft is an incredibly valuable skill, and young people gain a strong introduction
to it when going through survival training. Not only do they get a strong foundation
that they can use, they can also go on to develop their bushcraft into a marketable skill
if they choose to later in life.

4. Self confidence
Knowing that you can survive when things go bad is great for your self confidence.
Young people emerge from a survival training course with a greater sense of self
confidence. They have faced tough challenges, and they know that they can handle
them.

ORIENTEERING

Orienteering is a group of sports that require navigational skills using a map and
compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain
whilst moving at speed. Participants are given a compass and bearing to go to their
location.

Shelter

A good shelter is important for many reasons. It shields you from the elements, hides
you from wildlife intruders and provides the psychological comfort needed to remain
calm and in control . Shelter is vital in protecting against the elements and is a top
priority. The easiest shelter to make is a lean-to out of branches and leaves.

1 . Find a long fairly straight branch and lean one end against a tree
2 ) Place more shorter branches along the length of the long one at 45 degree angles
3 ) Cover the whole thing with large leaves to make a cover

When choosing a place to build shelter , stay near a source of water but if possible and
avoid natural hazards like dead trees and cliff . Make sure of anything you find or
already have with you . A length of rope and some ripped plastic sheeting or poncho
can be great use in the jungle .

For a basic rain shelter , simply tie the poncho or plastic between four trees to form a
canopy . You can fashion a tent shelter by running rope down the centre of the poncho
between two trees and stacking the sides into the ground using sticks to create an A
frame .

Another simple lean to shelter can be made by tying two opposite corners of the
poncho to trees . The other end slants diagonally to the ground and can be secured
with stick stakes or heavy rocks .

Ice Breaking

An icebreaker is an activity or game designed to welcome attendees and warm up the

conversation among participants in a meeting, training class, team building session, or
other activity. Any event that requires people to comfortably interact with each other
and a facilitator is an opportunity to use an icebreaker.

Group self introduce

1. Show your interest in the person you're talking to. People just love to talk about
themselves, so to break the ice, let them talk. Listen carefully, and try to look
interested in what the other person says.

2. Avoid Yes/No questions. When talking to someone, try to ask more open-ended
questions. For example, instead of asking "Are you having a good time?" ask "How
did you find out about this event?"

3. Let the other person explain things you don't know. If the person you're talking to
mentions something new to you, ask him or her to explain this thing to you. Thus,
your conversation will last longer.

4. Share your experience. If the other person mentions something familiar to you or
you've also gone through the same situation, don't hesitate to share your experience.
This way you two will become closer.

5. Use the F.O.R.D. technique. Remember these letters. They'll come in very handy
when you're making small talk.

F-amily: How many children do you have? Have you been living here for a long
time? What do you like most about this city?
O-ccupation: What do you do for a living? What are you currently working on? What
is the most difficult part of your profession?
R-ecreation: What do you do in your free time? Where can I get the fabric you used to
create this? How long have you been playing tennis?
D-reams: What is your biggest dream? If you could travel anywhere, where would
you visit? What have you always wanted to do?

7. Be honest. If you like having long pleasant conversations, just say so. Some
personal questions are okay too, for example, "What are you afraid of?" or "What do
you like most about your life?"
