The Five Esssential Survival Skills:

  1. Fire
  2. Shelter
  3. Signaling
  4. Food/ Water
  5. First Aid

A person MUST have all of these in order to survive.



Fire can be used for many things.  It is a very important part of your survival! Fire can be used to keep your body warm, cook food, and scare off predators!



First aid is very important as well! If you manage to hurt yourself, even cut yourself in the smallest way you could become seriously infected!  It is important to keep all injuries clean and dry!



Food and Water are the most important! Without food and water a human being will be unable to survive longer than a few days!  It is important to keep nutrients in your body!  These nutrients will keep you strong and able to keep warm, hunt, and fight off diseases!



Shelter is also very important! Creating and maintaining an adequate shelter will keep a human dry & warm, and safe from predators!



Communication with others is key! We are very social animals, without any sort of social interection we as a species could go crazy!


All of these items are important for your survival.  It may be smart to take a survival course at your local park, just in case of course! Ask your friends and family if they know they important survival skills! If they don't know, do them a favor and teach them!
