Surviving Process Analysis

Brian was left only with his clothing and a hatchet that hung from his belt. Brian began to set up a camp for himself. ? At one time in the far past it had been scooped by something, probably a glacier, and this scooping had left a kind of sideways bowl, back in under a ledge. It wasn?t deep, not a cave, but it was smooth and made a perfect roof and he could almost stand in under the ledge?(P 57). Brian began to hunt for food and found only berries and drank from the lake for water. Brian eventually created a spear to catch fish and other small animals. This all progressed very slowly. Brian also eventually found out how to make a fire created by sparks from his hatchet and a rock striking together. Brian lived for nearly two months in the woods all alone. Each day that Brian lived he discovered or learned something new. He was living pretty well when he ran into a couple of unexplainable disasters. First he had shot a bird with a bow that he made of a stick and his shoelace. He was cleaning the bird and his tools in the lake when a moose trampled on him and tried to kill him. The moose pushed him down in the water and wouldn?t let him up. ? It was a cow and she had no horns, but

He uses the shelter to protect him from the rain and some animals. After he builds the shelter, Brian uses his hatchet to make spears and arrows. He takes branches and sharpens the tip of them to make arrows and spears. "He had worked on the fish spear until it had become more then just a tool. He shoots the arrows at birds and throws the spears at fish. "I know about fire; I know I need fire." Brian says this the second night he's there. Brian needs a fire because he needs it for heat, to cook food and to keep animals away. Brian makes the fire with his hatchet and a rock. First, he figures out that he needs some paper so he takes his 20-dollar bill and tries to burn it. Unfortunately, the bill just burns right out and leaves him with no fire. After that, he takes his hatchet and cuts small pieces of bark. Then he piles them up under twigs. Then he takes his hatchet and hits a rock with a great blow and sparks catch the bark on fire. He hits another blow and the sparks catch the twigs on fire. Therefore, he has a fire. This process shows that whatever Brian sets his mind to he can do it. About two months later Brian went to the bottom of the lake to see if there was anything useful in the plane. He brought up a survival package. There were many useful things in there like bandages and matches. Couple months later, just before winter was going to hit a man shows up in a plane. The guy in the plane was the man Brian had talked

Brian couldn't survive without food so he had to go hunting he made a small bow and arrow. With sticks and string from the survival pack and sharpened rocks to make the arrow heads and he would kill small birds and rabbits. But that bow wasn't getting the food that he needed cause he only hit the animals half the time and sometimes it didn't kill the animals. So he made a bigger and better bow and this he could barely pole back and with that he killed a deer and a moose but the moose didn't die and

There are many different ways to get ready for a disastrous occurrence. Geography would be important in a case like this. Like, in the case of a zombie apocalypse, Yuko Caras said that he would try to understand the characteristics of the zombies. It would be useful to see what they can and can't do. You would want to know how fast, or slow they move, where they were at first, so you can estimate where they will be in the future, and the amount of space they take up. You would also want to know where natural resources are, and get to those natural resources, but only if they don't have zombies. It would be of importance to know your coordinates. You would want to know what the climate of where you are, where you are headed, and everything in between. Additionally, something that you would want to know is where the major rivers are.You would want to know the states that are boardering the state that you are in. Something else that would be of importance would be to do research on not only the zombies, but your surroundings. You would want to know where you libraries are so that you

When Roger Woodward was 7 years old he went on a boat for the first time in his  life. His family was celebrating his 17 year old sister’s birthday with a tour of niagara falls by boat. Rogers mother’s one condition about this trip was that he wore a life jacket because roger did not know how to swim. In not long roger would be falling down the falls. The day was perfect for boating it was warm and  the waters were calm. The owner of the boat jim honeycutt let roger steer the boat. They were heading toward sandbar and on the way there the mortar of the boat hit a rock. Honeycutt cut the engine after hitting the rock. They were drifting toward the falls. For some reason Honeycutt had no anchor so he was trying to paddle the other way but the

Also there are thing that is making things worst that it was but people should know what they do,they have to be on the lookout. pg.127 part.3(The Cost Of Survival)In other words,”However,this would be impossible to enforce”.No one is enforce to do something they don’t want to do.Furthermore,Some people don’t know what they will end up doing,however people have to be careful on where,why,and what they do.To add on people should be able to bring things they need in order to have a safe day while the person is doing such as hiking,climbing mountains and other things.pg.127 part 3(The Cost Of

This is very interesting, also when you say survival stress do you also mean flight or fight mode? If so how does this play a role in our survival and overall stress? Also what about the other survival mechanism where an individual is said to freeze in fear? When my sister use to sneak out at night and my mother use to catch her, she use to severly freeze and I also sometimes do so even when I am not in any real danger. Why is

What would happen if you got stuck in the wilderness? 13 year old Brian Robeson is stuck in the wilderness with only 63 cents in coins, a fingernail clipper, a wallet with 20 dollars, his belt, the clothing he has on, a tattered windbreaker, a broken watch, and the hatchet his mother gave him. How would Brian survive with just those items? Brian used survival strategies such as trial and error, using his hatchet, and thinking positively

It was a wonder discovery. The mosquitoes had nearly driven him mad and the thought of being rid of them lifted his spirits. On another trip he looked back and saw the smoke curling up through the trees and realized, for the first time, that he now had the means to make a signal. He could carry a burning stick and build a signal fire on top of the rock, make clouds of smoke and perhaps attract attention. Which meant more wood. And still more wood.” This aha moment can change things for Brian because he now knows that he could find a way to signal the rescuers when they come and save him. This could lead to a better, safer, and easier way for Brian to get found. Also, he now can cook food for more nutrients that he has lost during the days he has been eating only berries turtle

People will go to the extreme to survive. For example, Bear Grills in his popular TV show “Man vs. Wild”. Once he had to drink his own urine and even sleep inside the carcass of an animal to keep warm. People have been known to do things they normally wouldn’t do in order to survive.

There’s nothing growing yet.’ But his mind was pretty well made up. He was chomping at the bit to get out there and start hiking,” (Krakauer, 109-110). The “Survival Statistics” states that you should, “Study weather patterns, geography, environmental hazards, (e.g. avalanche, flash flooding, dangerous animals, etc.)” (befoundalive.com).

Brian was a 13 year old boy who’s plane crashed in the woods in Canada. It was fall and no one was around to help him. He was left to try to survive. He built a shelter to live in. He constantly had fires going to keep himself warm. He had some survival stuff such as cooking pots, a hunting knife, forks, spoons, a first aid kit, a cap, fishing line, lures, hooks, sinkers and packets of dry food. Brian learned warning signs such as when it was getting cold. He also got warnings that something wasn’t right. One instance of that was when Brian’s rifle stopped working. The warning he got was when he felt a touch on his cheek. That resulted in him learning how to make bows and arrows. He hunted various animals such as rabbits, deer, and mule. To keep wolves away, Brian marked his territory. Living in the woods gave Brian a lot of work to do. Such as when he had to fix his shelter after a bear came to steal some of his food. He had a skunk living next to him who sprayed the bear away. To get food, Brian had to hunt and kill animals. Winter came and Brian’s cloths were ruined. Brian was forced to hint in the snow. It got so cold that when he spit, the salvia bounced on the ground. He celebrated Thanksgiving with ribs from a mule. In the end, he comes to a crude log shelter. Someone was living there. The man, who was living there, took him in and shared some of his food with Brian. Brian is

Courage also was a big factor in their survival. Courage, the ability to do something that frightens one. The characters in Unbroken had to have lots of courage to do a lot of the things needed for survival. This involves battling sharks and dodging bullets from above. "Louie waited until the shark was inches from him, then struck it in the nose" (page 155). This takes a lot of courage to get in the water and hit a shark, especially since it is much stronger than a human. Louie also knew that if he didn't hit the shark, then it would've killed him and possibly the rest of the crew. In this journey the crew struggles for food, they were constantly hungry, and at risk of dying. "Louie clapped his hands around the tail and heaved it out

In this short story rainsford faces the struggles of the ocean, plants, animals, day, and night. He faces all of this in order to survive because out in nature it's about survival ofthe fittest, prey or predator, to kill or to be killed. Rainford makes up his minds and says he's not dying today. Rainford has his whole life planned out ahead of him and he's not going to let a few bugs bites and killer hounds get in the way of his future. Nature can get in the way of life just like people. For example typhoons, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all different parts of nature that destroy things and get in our way of everyday life. Hurricanes have ruined cities and flooded homes up to the point where these people have had to evacuate. Volcanic eruptions, hot lava spuese everywhere and the only thing that can be done is to leave and just let nature take its course.

This young man, residing in the Outback of Australia, decided to run away from home when he was 18 years of age. However, he chose a really bad time to do so: during a record heat wave. Hikers found the boy roughly nine weeks after he was last seen, and was weak and unable to stand as well as pretty confused. After he was brought back to civilization, he revealed that he had survived solely by drinking creek water.
