Last week, I discussed winter survival tips and gear. That's what most people mean when they talk about survival situations: staying alive in harsh snowy conditions. But there's also summer survival. What do you do against the heat? If winter survival is all about maintaining body heat, keeping metabolic rate high, increasing both true temperature and the "feeling" of being warm, what is warm weather survival about? There are a few primary things you need to take into account when dealing with warm weather survival: Staying hydrated. Avoiding excess sun exposure. Staying cool during the day (and warm at night). Staying fed. Tending to wounds and injuries. In other words, you need to focus on the bottom two levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: food, shelter, water, warmth, security, and safety. These tips and this gear don't just apply to full-on warm weather survival situations. They also apply to "simulated" warm weather survival situations—camping, hiking, backpacking. Any time you'll be out in the heat for more than a few hours, paying attention to all these basic requirements will help you have an enjoyable and safe journey. Survival Tips for Warmer Weather You need access to safe drinking water. Most water you encounter in a survival situation isn't fit for drinking without treatment. And even if it is, you can't know for sure, and making a mistake like that can set you back—or worse. There's nothing quite so debilitating as a water-borne illness. Chlorine tabs Iodine Boiling water for a minute (or three minutes at elevation) Lifestraw (or similar filters) Another thing to keep in mind is that springs are often clean. Map out any nearby springs using Find A Spring before you're in a survival situation. You need to regulate your electrolytes. Hydration isn't just about the H20. You also need to consume electrolytes. You need sodium, magnesium, and potassium. You even need a little bit of glucose or sucrose to aid in the absorption of water. Normally, I recommend drinking a big glass of Gerolsteiner mineral water with salt, lime or lemon juice, and magnesium powder for proper hydration. That's in the context of someone following a keto diet and trying to satisfy their increased electrolyte requirements—from the safety of their own home. But you can't exactly lug heavy glass bottles of expensive German mineral water or go around mixing up coconut water with molasses in a survival situation. You need something hyper-portable, lightweight, and shelf-stable. LMNT is a great powdered electrolyte supplement to keep on hand. Just add to water, shake, and drink to stay hydrated. Snake Juice is another option. If you can figure out how to store it, blackstrap molasses is also a great source of electrolytes, especially calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Eating just a couple tablespoons of blackstrap molasses gives you more than twice the potassium of a banana, more calcium than a cup of raw spinach, and almost 100 mg of magnesium. Throw in some salt, add to water, and you're good to go. You … Continue reading "Summer Survival Tips"
