Winter Survival

If your survival preparations will not cover you subfreezing conditions is only 50% ready.

The majority of survival skills and survival equipment to work well in dry and temperate weather. In the dry summer conditions can live for a while by simply not doing anything stupid. Modest clothing and basic shelter items will get you through the chilly damp conditions of late spring and early fall. At home, mild weather survival is focused on having safe water and adequate food. But winter conditions make Survival anywhere an immediate and honest challenge. In the winter, Mother Nature tries to kill you. Cold missing prisoners. Entire army was wiped out by the General Winter. The survival of the conflict came down to maintaining body temperature. This is accomplished four actions.

• Generates heat inside by the consumption and metabolizing of high calorie foods and the necessary water to process it. Consider this fueling your furnace. Food needs are much higher in cold weather.
• Keeping cold out of the body. Eating cold food, drinking cold fluids and breathing in cold air quickly lower the temperature of the body.

• Maintaining body heat. Breathing out warmed air, standing in the cold air, contact with cold ground, getting wet, not wearing enough clothing and downs to cover the heads burn away calories (heat) and lead to hypothermia
• Gathering heat from external sources. Getting into a hot area, situated in the sun, drinking hot liquid, eating hot food, standing next to a fire, breathing warmed air reduces heat loss.

Civilization is dedicated to providing a warm environment. Our home is heated. Our car is heated. Even in winter our exposure to cold is short. Well-fed and hot most of the time we were all in poor condition to survive the cold long-term survival under these conditions. When we think of safety of life we think of winter fire, but all animals and some human cultures survive the harshest cold conditions without any form of external heat. They depend on heat storage and high-calorie food metabolism. Two things are certain,

• Not adequately fed and clothed person is exposed to cold or disrupt cold wet conditions for too long will die
• If you live in most areas of the United States and Canada and missed the skills and equipment for long-term cold weather survival you are at high risk 20-70% of the year.

The body loses heat in 5 ways:

• Breath, breathing in cold air, heating it in your lungs and then exhaling the warmed air back out is a significant source of heat loss. A simple facemask, ski mask or muffler over the nose and mouth can store some heat to it.
• Steam, Sweat and dampness on clothing evaporates and carries heat away. Alcoholic drinks give the allusion of warming the skin and evaporating while taking far less heat. Rain, snow and even fog dampen hair skin and clothing to remove heat.
• Convection: Air (air) pass through the skin carries away heat. That's great on a hot day, but deadly cold. Get out of the air ASAP! To move air wear proof poncho.
• Conduction: A Nature hates imbalance. If you is in contact with soil, rock, metal, snow, etc. colder than you are, energy will flow from you to the cold surface. Minimizing contact and good insulation is the the key to preventing this heat loss. Wet clothing loses 90% of its insulation value of water having 240 times the heat conductivity of dry air Stay dry!
• Radiation: the whole body radiates heat / energy in the atmosphere. Adequate clothing is the only way to reduce this radiation.

Because The heat rises head and shoulders are the biggest source of heat loss and since the brain is most heavily supplied with blood circulation to the head is the last part to feel cold. Listen up! Turban, stocking caps and large caps fur will save your life. One day we were out at 10 below zero wind. We have entered an unheated building and only took off our caps. We immediately began to vibrate until we put it back on. Other devices for resistance to radiated heat loss is the Space blanket. These aluminized blankets can be used as ponchos or rigged as a shelter. They reflect body heat to you. They can also be used to catch and reflect the campfire, stove heat or solar heat into your body. I have recovered from the cold damp clothing in this way.

Since heat rises head and shoulders are the greatest source of heat loss and since the brain is most heavily supplied with blood circulation to the head is the last part the feeling of cold. Listen up! Turban, stocking caps and large fur caps will save your life. One day we were out at 10 below zero wind. We have entered an unheated building and just took off our caps. We immediately started to vibrate until we put it back on. Another device for resistance to radiated heat loss is the Space blanket. These aluminized blankets can be used as ponchos or cooked as shelters. They reflect body heat to you. They can also be used to catch and reflect the campfire, stove heat or solar heat to your body. I have recovered from cold damp clothing in this way.

See two principal risks of cold exposure are hypothermia and frostbite. The person tired, hungry or sick are more susceptible in both the life and limb threatening conditions.

Hypothermia

Hypothermia occurs when the body's core temperature begins to fall. This is happens when the body has not been able to develop or hold more heat than it lost. Being exposed to cold, wind and rain with no adequate shelter clothing and food prime cause of hypothermia. Shaking the warning signs of impending hypothermia. The body uses the heat generated by shivering as a last ditch efforts to maintain its core temperature. It occurs as body temperature drops to 90 degrees. Below 90 degrees slurred speech, jerky muscle dulled comprehension and (Staggered pedestrian) movements indicate the need to immediately get from the cold this year and introduce hot liquid.

80-85-degrees the victim is lost the contact and drift into a coma. Slow pulse and respirations indicating advanced hypothermia. At this point the person continues to refuse even to external heat provided. With advanced hypothermia the cells reach a point where it was too cold to generate heat so creating a progressive condition that only a hospital can reveres with warm IV s.

This is why it is important to recognize hypothermia in its earliest stages and act. 80 to 78-degrees the victim will become unconscious and suffer cardiac failure and hemorrhage of the lungs resulting in death. In addition to taking the victim to a warn environment and provide them with hot liquid sweet while they are still conscious, you can reuse them warm by placing heat packs under their arms at the same side of the neck. Emersion forearm in warm water is another effective way re-warming. Simply place both forearms under warm water or wrap both forearms in hot damp towel. Be careful, a person has reached the advanced (semi conscious) stage should not be re-warmed very quickly to external as it can drive the cold outer blood to the core and cause cardiac fibrillation. Of course if immediate hospital is not available you can not wait to re-warm.

Frostbite

Is the actual freezing of the outer body tissue? Frostbite can result in loss of body tissue, amputations, gangrene and death. The fingers, toes and ears are most often bitten by frost, but prolonged exposure can result in the larger loose (hands, feet, legs) body parts. Any part of the body feels too cold can suffer frostbite if it is not protected and warmed immediately. The perception of pain turns cold as circulation stops. As nerves freeze sensation is lost and nothing is felt. The skin turns gray or yellow-white and pointed to the touch. Do not rub the parts or forcefully remove shoes or gloves. When the victim is brought to a hot environment and place starts to melt it will become swollen, red and painful. If the color goes to black tissue loss may occur. Frozen body parts can be thawed by emersion in warm (not over 105 m) water or placing them in the armpits. Do not expose a thawing phase body potential refreezing! A previously frozen tissue is more susceptible to refreezing and the loss of tissue is more likely after the second freeze. Damaged tissue should be wrapped in soft, thick, sterile (if possible) bandages and kept warm. Seek medical attention as soon as possible

Sox in thermal wear cold weather and have a spare buddy handy. Tight fitting gloves really make the fingers more susceptible to frostbite. Wear gloves and insulated gloves to severe cold wear.

Winter Survival At Home

Fortunately survival unrest and threats such as terrorist attacks are often cold les period, but the power outages, fuel and food shortages are greater. When balancing hunker down than the hit-the-road option, staying at home until You might be best. Even an unheated home is better than a tent. You can ride out the situation or at least hang on until the weather improves before evacuating. You should be set up to get through without any equipment (eg gas, water, electricity) and support (eg medical, fire, police, markets) for many months. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to store enough fuel to run a generator and heat your whole house for some winter months. So you have to adopt a camp to house configuration.

Camp at home just means that you will reduce your needs through the use of camping supplies at home. You can get an internal room and seal it off with plastic sheeting. This will be your shelter a room for the duration. Can be able to have enough fuel for a small camp heater to help heat one room, even better, put up a tent in your living room and stay in there. A small tent is easy to heat and regulate body heat as well. The best way to stave off the effects of cold is to heat hot food and drinks hot liquid. A good camp stove with lots of fuel cylinder is a must. Get a good sleeping bags for everyone! Mount an army surplus bag is rated good to about 10-degrees above zero and cost about $ 40.00. In an unheated house, on a mattress with some bedding is well in colder temperatures. For about $ 180.00 you can get surplus army extreme cold / arctic bag rated to 40 degrees below zero. Of course commercial bags are available at higher price with equivalent ratings.

The body burns a lot more calories in cold weather, so you need to have hearty food stored away. Fortunately the food in your freezer can kept frozen or refrigerated for at least several hours if the power goes off. You need to have a strong animal proof box to store it out of food shade. You can store food in an unheated garage or shed or large metal ammunition box like those designed for 40mm rounds. If you have a wood stove or stock up on wood furnace. Efficient stoves to heat a room or two, but no running fan fireplaces are not much help. You will need a good heater to camp keep your inner tent or sealed (not air tight) warm room.

A Coleman â "¢ 3000 BTU heater will run 7 hours on one cylinder 16 oz propane. Enough to heat a tent or small room for part of each day. You're going to have to spend about 12 hours a day sleeping bags to protect your own heat and energy. The heaters will have to be turned off when you are in your bag. Even so, you must have 50-100 cylinders to heat and cook through the worst of the winter. You will want to have a crank powered flashlights and radios, but in case of winter survival, candles and gas lanterns sources heat as well as light and must be used safely.

Keep your carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector working. With fire extinguishers handy. Avoid leaving unattended candle, stove and lanterns. Although the camp heaters and stoves are generally safe for internal use it is hot and they burn with oxygen, thereby creating a hazard should be aware of. While the survival pack and the ability to live on your own is key. If your home is gets below freezing for any length of time the water pipes freeze and burst, causing flooding. If you can not keep them warm, let the water leak from every tap. If that fails, turn off the water and drain pipes. Prepared at home is an important component of independent, self-reliant survival capacity, exit the house is always a last resort. This is especially true under conditions of winter weather.

Vehicular Retreating

If you must leave home and you can drive your vehicle to a safe destination that is what you should do. Should be your survival pack tote bins ready to load the vehicle. Other tote bins should have your additional sleeping bags, tents, stoves, heaters, fuel and food. The events that follow assume that you are either not able to fend off or have to abandon your car at some point. It is a possibility you should consider.

Short Retreating Distance

If you can not stay in your home you will want to reduce the distance to a safe place. Your destination is good time may be too far to take your need for winter survival so you may need to have a short term site within a few hours hike hole up in until the season improves. Leave the buildings, barns, sheds, stored boats or motor homes, etc are considered. If you have a loose car and a place to keep it off the main road can be your shelter optional for a while. Things like tents, heaters, sleeping bags and food can pull a short distance to establish the temporary retreat.

Load Sharing

If you have a large family or group your chances a winter survival is greatly improved. Spread the load of extra fuel to accommodation, food and more people can all be more hot and more well fed. Sharing of body heat in the shelter has also been a big help.

Sleds and Snow Shoes

If there is more than 4-6 inches of snow on the ground walking with a full pack is hard, but pulling the sled becomes a good option. If heavy snow is often in your area you may want to get into snowshoeing or cross-country skiing as a healthy sport. Its great exercise and gives you the others will not have mobility. Pulling any sort of toboggan or sled will let you take including what is really needed for winter survival.

Caches

If safe stashing extra supply of food, fuel, blankets and shelter with your destruction is a choice, do it. Unfortunately there are few safe places to hide anything today and locating your cache in winter can be challenging. Buried stashes can be difficult to remove from the snow covered and frozen ground. Depending on the life saving items being there when you arrive cold and hunger can be dangerous.

Using natural resources

One of your best option is to study back-to-basics skills survival. The the pioneers and the early explorers did survive winter after winter without most of the survival supplies that we now take for granted as needs. They hunted, fished, trapped and foraged for food. They used hides and bark and branches to build shelters. They made the fire and kept warm. They are made from grass beds pine branches, and leaves. They are uncomfortable and they are well fed, but they did survive through winter. If you get some basic skills in their survival combined with your pack full of modern life safety equipment that you can live through a winter without additional supplies. I must point out that having a good knife, sharpening stone, iron, small shovel, fire starters (flints, magnesium, etc.), fish hook, line, and of course, a small-bore (22) pistol or rifle in your gear will be essential with the natural resources for food, shelter and warmth.

Body Heat and Energy conserving

Always be prepared for what the weather can be had for the time of year, not what it is. Nice warm fall and spring days can be cold, wet windy day can bring hypothermia some time. Although a summer night can be fatal for someone in shorts and T-shirt. The old theory that if you fall asleep in the cold you will not wakeup is a myth. Yes, if you exhaust yourself fighting a storm or allow yourself to get wet (rain or sweat) and tired before you stop and you can not sleep wakeup. But if you stay dry and protect the Your body heat and energy supply your chances of survival actually improved.

Usually a sleeping person will wake up when the body gets too cold and move around just enough to produce a little heat. There are cases where survivors huddled together under a few tarps or dug into a stack straw and for weeks and dozed on-and-off for weeks before emerging to detect. Always have a rain poncho available in your pocket, purse, locker, and glove compartment and the course a good one in your pack.

The greatest heat loss through the top of the head. The body supplies the brain with hot blood and heat rises so rare head feels cold, but it is sucking heat from the rest of your body. The neck also radiates a lot of heat that can be conserved in a collar turned up and / or a scarf. A wool cap ski mask is a must have item. Another major source of heat loss is breath. you breathe in cold air then sucks heat from within the body where you blow air when you exhale. A simple ski mask facemask or help conserve some of this heat. So a pocket poncho (or large plastic bag) a dust mask and a wool cap alone could save your life if caught in bad weather. Keep a pair of thermal sox under your shirt when out in the winter. If your feet wet sox if you have dry your gloves are gone, you can use them as gloves.

Do not eat snow. Removal of water is a real danger in cold weather. humidity is usually low and the moisture is lost through breathing. Plan on drinking lots of fluids, but not cold liquid that they lower your body's core temperature. Stop and heat water. Make tea or coffee if you have it. Warm sweetened liquid will add warmth and energy. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat air that will take from you by convection. Avoid long-term contact with cold ground or objects such as rocks, metal, etc. to pull away by heat conduction. Avoid sweating or being wet from snow and rain as it will ruin the insulation value of your clothes. . Stay dry! Avoid drinking alcohol takes heat as it evaporates through the skin. Do not increase your intake of food and drink hot drinks in fuel Your body's heating system.

Winter Camp

Camping out for extended hours in the winter is a last resort. The need for adequate food, water, fuel and shelter are more higher than for mild weather. Most people are not able to haul away their required weight vehicles (road). Large groups can do better than small families or individuals under these conditions. Camp location should be chosen with care. Choose a site that is sheltered from the air and have sufficient access to fuel (wood) and water. Cold air travels down, so avoid the valleys and ravines, camp lee side of ridges. If you can build up a sleeping platform a few feet off the ground it is 5-10 degrees warmer. Underground shelters and basements are unhappy with the cold weather.

Most camping tents is designed for mild weather. They are very well ventilated. It is great for hot weather, but not good in cold weather. Search for cruise or mountain the tents are designed to withstand wind and with smaller closable vents, big rain fly, and strong tie downs. Choose a tent just a little bigger than the number of people who occupy it. If there are two of you, take a three-person tent, etc. Too big a tent would be impossible to keep warm. Too small a tent will bring you in contact with cold walls and not do anything but sleep on it.

If you can only have a tent and is a warm weather tent, consider making up a cover for ventilated roof. Better yet, cover the roof under the rain fly with reflective Space blanket to reflect heat back inside the tent. Years ago, I spent two very cold night in a makeshift shelter dome made from clear Plastic tarps spread bent saplings. It is quite warm at night and was a greenhouse heat when the sun comes out. Clothing, blankets and sleeping bags to be damp from out the moisture and sweat. This causes them to lose significant amounts of insulation. They should be dried every day by hanging them in warm letting the sun or freeze them and then beat the crystal ice per day.

Conclusion

Winter survival is all about energy (Food & fuel) management. You need to be in and out create more heat to lose calories staying warm and doing the work. You should create, gather heat, and save the heat. Forgives errors summer, winter is not.
