I learned how to make a weapon called a bola. It is three or four rocks conected with a wrope. one rock gets connected to the other ones and you through it by that middle rock. I also learned what to do when your thirsty. You cant drink any water that you see because it could have bacteria in it. This could make you very sick so you have to boil the water before drinking it. Hopefully you have something to hold the water already if you dont you will need something to hold it like a rock with the right shape or carve into a log.
This is all good to know in order to survive in the woods. You will need some kind of a weapon if you want to hunt for food and you will probably want to. The bola is good because there are more than one heavy objects that each can easily kill most smallgame and if not stun. You also need something to drink if you are going to be in the woods for a long time so you need to know how to get water.
I had a good reaction to this part of the book because this is all stuff you need to know if you get lost. I thought it was good that it explained the bacterias that could be in water and that you cant trust any water to be pure. I already knew that but it talked about stuff i didnt know like how if it is really bad it can kill yoou.
If you were lost in the woods would you try and find water or food first? why?

How to survive in the woods
I learned alot about cooking in this part of the book. You can make something called a clay oven. It is made in a bank of clay by putting a stick in the top and then digging a hole in the side to the desired size. When the hole is dug you take the stick out for the chimney. Then you start a fire and put rocks in it, when the rocks get very hot you put them in the oven and put green sticks over top of them and then put the meat over that. I also learned how to preserve meat. You can cut the meat into thin slices and hang them on a tree limb. THe sun will dry the meat after a little while and you can store it in a cool dry place like a cave. To keep the bugs off it you can cook it over flames for a couple minutes until it hardens on the outside.
This is really good to know if you are lost. You really need to know how to cook in te woods with nothing if you are lost. It is also good to know how to preserve meat if you kill a big animal like a deer there is alot of meat in them. It takes a long time to eat a whole deer or bear. You have to have somewhere to put what yo dont eat.
My reaction to this was good. I like the book so far it has been keeping me interested. It is nice to know this stuff in case i ever get lost in the woods and have to stay there overnight or longer. I am almost done with my book I guess thats good since its almost the end of the month.

how to survive in the woods
I liked this section of the book. I learned alot about trapping alot of different animals. Mainly I Learned about trapping small animals like squirrels and rabbits. I larned that snares work really well. You can catch any size animal in one. All it is is a nooose that is set on a branch or something that will spring up choking anything when it is caught around its neck. You just need the right size wrope for the desired animal. And like all other traps you need bait.
I have liked my book so far and I hope it stays good. It is good to know how to trap animals when you are lost in the woods with no gun or other weapons. It is great to know exactly how to make these traps. The best thing is to get the knot tied right and to use the right size wrope. I know if I was lost in the woods I would be glad to have read about this.
I had a good reaction to this because I enjoyed reading about it. It was nice to read about this because It is something I like to do . It is also to know things like this also because if I ever got lost I would know what to do. This interests me because I like to hunt and trap animals.
If you were lost in the woods what animals would you try to trap and or hunt?

How to survive in the woods
I learned alot in this part of the book. I learned how to make traps for fish and land animals like bears and small game. It is very easy if you know how to do it. If you prop a very heavy log on a cross so that if an animal hits the cross it will fall and kill any small game. It will only work if you have some bait under the log that will attract the desired animal. you can also dig a deep hole and put weak sticks over it and then put leaves and anything else that would be on the ground over it. With this you also need bait of some kind on top.
This is great to no if you are lost in the woods without a gun and are going to be there for a long time. If you dont have a gun the only thing your going to be able to do is trap so you need to know how to make them. YOu also need to know what a desired animal eats and the book also talks about this. But it would be better if you just had a firearm and the boook explains what guns are best. You want a rifle with a scope because they are the most accurate and they kill the biggest variety of animals effectively. handguns would be the least desired because they are usuallly the least accurate. Shotguns are the best for killing small game so you really dont want one of those.
I like the book so far it is keeping me interested especially when it talks about hunting. I had a good reaction to all this because it is good to know . I really like reading about catching and hunting animals because it is something i am interested in. I dont like some of it though because I already know it but i guess it is a good refresher.
If you were lost what would you do? Would you try to get out somehow or would you wait for someone to get you and hunt or trap?

How To Survive In the Woods
This was a very good part of the book. I learned what water living things were edible. I also learned how to cook them. I learned a lot (notice Mr. Kirker there is a space between a and lot) about how to catch fish. Sometimes if you are lost you have a fishing pole so you can use that but sometimes your not that lucky. You can take any flexible wood and attach a peice of cloth to it for a fishing pole. It is also very easy to make lures and hooks. You can carve one out of wood and use stones or metal for barbs. But you have to have something to keep the fish from sliding off once its on the hook.
This is all good stuff to know. I am glad I read about it because i didnt know any of it. I am glad it talked about catching fish because i really wanted to know abaout that. I didnt know any of that stuff about fish hooks or poles. But it would be nice if you didnt have to worry about that and you had a fishing pole.
I had a good reaction to all this. This is all good to know and i am glad i read about it.I already knew the stuff about barbs though so that was a little boring. But it kept me interested because I like to fish. It is impossible not to get out if you are lost and you know all this. This book is great so far and I hope it stays good.
If you were lost in the woods how would you try to catch fish or would you even try?

how to survive in the woods
In this part of the book I learned alot about plants. I learned how you can tell if they are edible or not. I also learned how to make birch syrup with a knife and a home made cup. The cup is made from birch bark. I also learned alot about fish. I learned that fish isnt the healthiest thing to eat if that is all you have. You are better off trying to hike out.
I thought these were some good things to know. It is great if you are lost in the woods and you know these things. Then at least you have something to eat. It is great to know what you can and cant eat. I would be glad to know that you can make syrup out of birch sap if I was lost.
This part of the book was great. I hope it keeps giving tips about what to do when you are lost. I also hope it starts to talk about keeping warm and dry. I have liked this book so far and I hope it keeps me interested.
What would you do if you were lost?
