Whetu Survivor: Bush Survival. Eels

Shelter

•  Build on dry ground or your shelter will sink

into the runny mud.

• Build up on high ground so if it floods you will

not get drenched in water.

•  Don’t build on a sloped hill or you may fall

while your sleeping. 

Finding Water

• Dig anywhere that is slightly damp because

you will most likely find a source of water.

• NEVER drink salt water. It will just make

you more thirsty.

• Make sure it is clear and smells normal.

Fire

• Never make a fire with wet wood because you

will just have a smokey, fire and most likely it will go out.

• Make sure there is a source of water nearby

so if the fire goes out of control, you can put it out.

• When you make/light a fire you need Dry

Wood, Heat Fuel and Oxygen.

What Does S.T.O.P Stand for in the bush

• S. Stands for Stop
• T. Stands for Think
• O. Stands for Observe

Signaling for help

• First you should scream

“HELP HELP I NEED HELP” so somebody

will recognise that somebody needs help.

• Do the S.O.S Signal and a helicopter might

recognise you.

• Try and make it noticeable that someone

is there and needs help.

Basic First Aid

• Stay calm.
• Make sure you know what you are doing

before acting.

• Make sure you know what has happened

before trying anything
