Jungle Survival techniques

The raw wilderness feel that a jungle has to offer, makes any hardcore adventurer want to explore deeper and deeper into it discovering new unmapped trails, bumping into never-seen-before wildlife and above allbraving the fact of being on their own in the midst of dense greenery.The Western Ghats has a few dense jungles, which are frequented by curious explorers.

Beware of the hazards

Every adventurous escapade comes with a degree of risk and hazard, and so is the case with exploring into jungle. Getting lost in the midst of dense greenery, being far away from human civilization making it difficult to find help in case needed, vulnerable to illness caused by insects in the wilderness and danger of being attacked by wild animals are a few important ones. Natural calamities like landslides, floods, drought, and earthquakes are some of the other dangers that a jungle enthusiast has to be precautious of.

Being well informed on aspects that matter, is very important. Make sure to get as much information about the place you are planning to explore and prepare accordingly.

Survival Tips

Solving the Jungle-Maze: Getting lost in the middle of a dense jungle can turn an awesome adventurous trip into a living nightmare! Don’t let panic take over you. Keep your cool and try to trace back your steps if you can. If you have a map or a GPS, no better time to use them and if you do not have either, lesson learnt – carry them on your next trip!If you are a lone adventurer, shouting for help randomly may only attract wild animals. Finding and following a river may help you get out of the dense greenery.

Fight the hunger pangs: Running out of food and water in the middle of nowhere can be a scary affair. If you are lucky you could find some familiar fruits or vegetables in the trees nearby, else experimenting on wild trees need some knowledge of which are poisonous and which aren’t. A fast flowing stream of water can be a source of drinkable water, which if you can boil by setting up a fire is even better.

Keep warm: With heavy vegetation all around, nights can be pretty chill and unbearable without a fire. There are various methods to light a fire these days, make sure to carry lighters, match sticks, and collect small logs of wood from nearby to light up a cozy fire to keep you warm. This also helps to cook food and boil water.

Smart medication: There are no clinics in the middle of a dense forest, so remember to pack your vital drugs with you. Reading professional guides on naturopathy and jungle plants can prove to be very useful when you need medicines and have run out of them.

A buddy on call:As important as it is to prepareyourself for the trip, it is vital to keep someone informed on your jungle trip itinerary. In case of any emergencies they know where to reach you!
