HACKS
OVER 200 WAYS TO USE EVERYDAY ITEMS
FOR WILDERNESS SURVIVAL
KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC SURVIVAL PRINCIPLES
Knowledge is the basis for almost every successful survival skill. You can get it
from reading books, listening to the advice and stories of others, and watching
the actions of others. However, the most important way to gain true knowledge
of survival principles is trial and error with your own two hands. No method of
learning takes the place of hands-on, personal experience. Your options in a
survival scenario will ultimately depend on your understanding of basic survival
principles that surround shelter, water, fire, and food.
INNOVATIVE THINKING
I’ve often said that innovation is the most important survival skill. Innovation
can be defined in survival as creatively using available resources to execute a
plan formulated using pre-existing survival knowledge. At the end of the day, the
application of survival principles is only limited by your ability to creatively use
them.
EXPLOITING AVAILABLE RESOURCES
Available resources are anything natural or manmade, from leaves and sticks to
trash bottles and windshield wipers. Everything is potentially a survival resource
that you can exploit, with knowledge and creativity, to get what you need. In this
book, we explore hundreds of everyday items that can be modified, repurposed,
reused, reshaped, rebuilt, or recycled to meet some kind of basic human survival
need.
THREE THOUSAND FAILURES
Some of the hacks featured in this book are tips and tricks I’ve absorbed
throughout my lifelong study of survival; I learned them from other people and
from watching others in the field. I’ve picked up all sorts of hacks from friends,
family, students, and other survival enthusiasts. I’m always on the lookout for a
fun, new, and creative survival hack.
However, many of the following 200-plus survival hacks are also the result
of more than 3,000 failed attempts. Some, such as the Make a Fire Pipe hack in
Chapter 3, took more than 20 tries to get right. If I had quit working on a hack
idea at the first failed attempt, this book would be about five pages long.
The 200-plus hacks listed in the following pages are proven to work. I’ve
successfully practiced them all. Each of them is an actionable lesson in survival;
you can go into your backyard and practice them right now. Many can be
executed in the comfort of your home or garage, and certainly you can use them
executed in the comfort of your home or garage, and certainly you can use them
on your next camping trip.
THE MORE YOU HACK
As you study, practice, and use these 200-plus hacks from everyday objects,
you’re bound to learn more about survival principles and how to creatively meet
basic survival needs. This knowledge will lead to new “hack” ideas that I want
to hear about! E-mail your hack ideas to [email protected]. Who knows,
your hack could make it into the next volume of Survival Hacks.
