WATER

 

In any situation, water is crucial for survival, especially in drier regions. In hot summers this can be an issue even in temperate climate zones. Beside surface water bodies, we can find water by digging into dry river beds, in caves, from succulent plants, tree holes, rotten trunks, and from dew.

Water quality is also something that can be overlooked when thirsty. When we are uncertain, water should be filtered or boiled. If contaminated water has already been consumed, we can mitigate it’s harmful effects with charcoal. In extreme situations when our choice lies between either eating snow or drinking urine, the decision is not that trivial, due to risk of possible negative consequences in one hand or dehydration in other.
