FAQ
What is your best survival tool in the event you lose everything?
The compass is a tool that tells us where north is. It also tells us how far we've traveled since our beginning point. The compass will not always point you in the right direction if there are mountains nearby. The compass can usually tell you where you are if you are on a flat surface.
For those who don't have a compasse, you can use a rock or tree as a guide. Even though you still need a landmark to help you orient yourself, it's a good idea to have one.
What's the difference between a folded knife and a fixed blade knife?
Folding knives fold down compactly so that they can fit into a bag or pocket. The blade folds away when not in use.
Fixed-blade knives are meant to stay fixed in normal use. They are usually longer than folding knives.
Fixed-blade knives offer greater durability but are less portable.

How to Navigate With or Without a Compass?
Although it doesn't give you a map of where you are heading, a compass can help you navigate back home if your bearings have been lost.
You can navigate using three different methods:
-
By landmarks
-
Magnetic North (using a compasse)
-
By stars
Landmarks can be objects you recognize as soon as you see them. They can include buildings, trees, rivers, and others. Landmarks are useful because they provide a visual clue to where you are.
Magnetic North simply indicates the direction in which Earth's magnetic field points. If you look at the sky, the sun appears like it's moving across the sky. However, the earth's magnetic field actually causes the sun to move around the earth. So, while the sun seems to move across the sky, it really moves around the horizon. At noon, the sun is directly overhead. The sun is directly beneath you at midnight. The magnetic field of the earth is constantly changing. This means that the exact direction and orientation of the North pole magnetically changes each day. This means you might be off the course by quite a bit during a single day.
Another method of navigating is using stars. Stars appear over the horizon to rise and lower. These are fixed points in space that you can use to determine your location relative to other locations.

How To
How to find edible plants and animals during emergencies
In emergency situations, edible plants and animals can be a vital food source. They are essential for survival because they can provide food and energy to you when you don't have normal food. These can be used to make medicine and cosmetics.
Knowing where they grow is essential. Also, you need to know what conditions they prefer, such as climate, soil type and weather. This information will help you quickly identify them. But, it can be difficult to find out everything you need about each species of animal and plant. There are some rules that apply to all animals and plants.
For instance, if you notice a plant growing near water you can assume it loves moist soil. If you see leaves with shiny surfaces, it means that the plant has been watered recently. If you see ants near a plant, this means the plant is providing nectar for bees. These simple observations can save you valuable time in finding useful plants and animals during emergencies.
