What kind of food supplies and utensils, for example, for producing drinking water and foraging for food, do you need to live for several years somewhere on a mountain or in a forest without having to come into contact with other people? Can anyone recommend web links or books on this topic with lists and price estimates?

Loading...Hello, dear community, this is a question for all users. Anyone who would like to answer can, of course, answer! 😀👍🏻 How will you celebrate New Year's Eve 2024? What will you do? Will you set off firecrackers, have a drink, or just stay home? I will probably just sit at home on New Year's…
Hello 🙂 I'm in Liverpool (UK) with my boyfriend over New Year's Eve. On December 31st, we're going to a football match in the late afternoon. In the evening, we don't know what to do. Maybe go to a bar? Do you have any tips?
Good morning, I want to go to Serengeti Park and don't know if I have to book a parking space. I would like to thank you in advance for all your help. Best regards
I know I should keep my eyes open, but how do I know it's really deserted? Maybe one in Munich?
Do you also know the feeling of not having seen everything at a con or event because of your companion? We were at Gamescom. My companion wanted to leave early because he had ordered food. I wanted to stay longer and visit more booths, but he was bored after we visited the Genshin booth. (He…
Hey I wanted to ask how much it costs to park in the parking lots at Disneyland Paris all day?
Look at Youtube, there are many videos about this topic. Survival Tips are given there even by the Bundeswehr. You can get drinking water from the river and cook it beforehand. With food, it becomes harder, especially when you have winter. It would then be important to build a shelter or better a hut where no rain comes in, then a fire place and of course sufficient wood. Best near a lake where you can fish, so you always have food. All small tools and gadgets should be written to your list. And before you do something like this, you’re gonna practice and test a couple of times. I wouldn’t do that blue-eyed.
That’s the wrong approach. Equipment is secondary, you need first and foremost knowledge and experience – but it is not easy to buy.
He has to buy things first to learn how to handle it.
No, you must first know what you want to do. After that, you’ll figure out how to do this and what you need for it. Only then can you deal with how your equipment works.
To make this plastic, you say you want to find your food in the forest for a year. First of all, you need to know what can be used as food at all at any time of year (in winter in local latitudes it is not even so easy). Then you have to learn how to digest this food, prepare it and possibly preserve it. This is, of course, local and dependent on the respective fauna and flora.
And you’d have just covered the point of food. At least drinking water, thermoregulation, weather protection, first aid in an extended sense and possibly even more are missing.
If you want to read it, there are plenty of books on Bushcraft and Survival. But also at youtube you will find something on the topic. However, dissolve yourself from the idea that you can replace knowledge and experience with the purchase of equipment.
I’m glad you helped
Thank you very much. These are very helpful and useful information.
I still have a normal backpack for normal “Survival” when I get started, but there are only things I really need because I know what I’m going to do before.
So I think if you do it a few days or weeks, you’ll see what you need and what you missed. Especially the application is important.
I didn’t make a list, but I can tell you so out of my head, in my backpack are e.g.
3 x 3 meters, paracord 20 meters, micropure water purification tablets, fishing set so lead, fishing hooks several and fishing watch, flashlight, batteries, firewood, canvas
And another small waterproof backpack where the sleeping bag is in. I can attach it to the backpack or carry it with my hand. Besides, a small light tent. All the stuff I’ve listed, I’ve still packed them in small plastic bags, so if there’s some water running, it doesn’t get to the stuff, that would be annoying.
That’s all not ordered in the listing now and I’m sure I forgot. If I remember anything else, I’ll write it. I’m about 15 bucks.
As I said, I’m not a professional that’s just my hobby, there are certainly others who can give you even better tips. I would look at Youtube, there are some who have good experiences.
With you, the situation is a little different, I really packed my backpack for emergencies, so if you say you have to leave the city within a short time or immediately, or the like. So that I have a basic equipment and get clear first.
If you really know where to go or find a place, you can take the most important things there first.
Here are my books I have:
Anaconda Bag Guide Edible Wild Plants. 70 species determine and discover. https://amzn.eu/d/hA8DJ2v
Mushrooms: determination made easy. The most important 130 mushroom species. Extra: Typical characteristics (GU nature) https://amzn.eu/d/3nk7e4o
Eatable mushrooms and their poisonous doubs: Collect mushrooms – but correct https://amzn.eu/d/hLmTqEo
Wild herbs and wild fruits are easy to determine. The most important 125 plant species. Extra: Typical characteristics (GU nature) https://amzn.eu/d/7UAm3JH
There are certainly more detailed and better books, but it was important to me that I still have the hold in the backpack and that they must be small.
Otherwise, as I said, use Youtube for Survival tips, as it will be shown one in the video and you will understand it better. And then try everything until you can safely control the processes. What you have ahead is really not easy, winter is the biggest challenge. I would definitely find a place with lake where fish are in it or where other lakes are nearby. You almost always have food.
Quoted content:
So the knowledge about which plants (parts) can be eaten and what season in which geological formations you can find water and of course about all my knowledge of the natural processes.
Comment on:
To this end, information about this or web links or book titles would be helpful.
So I would definitely be interested in what you put everything in a backpack together.
So I’ve got to make the experience first. I asked another question about a period of 4-8 weeks in a natural environment. The hint for the books and web links about Bushcraft is a bit helpful. In order to make experiences, one must naturally compile an equipment for an attempt for several weeks and for that I simply collect all possible contributions and am grateful for any content helpful answer.
Yes, you’re right, it always depends on it, and it’s because he definitely knows exactly where or what he does. Then he can even inquire the place beforehand and see what he needs or what is available on site. Even test how it is.
Only in the right survival you have to assume that you land somewhere and then you have to deal with the situation, that makes it more difficult. That’s why I have a backpack packed with all the important things.
What he has to do is what great things should have a lot of preparation and experience. He should get in touch beforehand and also test everything, the processes etc. Just winter, I’m getting tough.
Surely I could write you a list of equipment, but it is also always dependent on the state of knowledge, on the logistical possibilities and not least on convenience.
Let’s look at the problem of fire. Here you can almost say that in the Survival/Bushcraft area the firestick is the standard – and also rightly. But you can also theoretically save yourself if you know how to drill fire (which is, of course, a bit more complicated). From convenience alone, I therefore tend to be the first.
Let’s take the example of drinking water. Here is a water filter very practical. If you cook your water anyway, you can save it.
And so this can be continued over all the equipment. If you are planning to spend longer time outdoors, you basically need the same things as for a weekend trip – just a number “galler”.
Here’s an example. When I go camping, I’ve been accustomed to taking a small garden shovel. If I’d be out for longer, it’d be a patch. If I were to spend a whole year in the forest, I would choose a right spade if possible. Just for the reason that my camp would be more complicated.
But if you say that you are already equipped with the subject of Survival, it is indeed only about knowledge. So the knowledge about which plants (parts) can be eaten and what season in which geological formations you can find water and of course about all my knowledge of the natural processes.
Yes, I know, but basics like making fire or fishing etc., you just need these things and a basic equipment you should have anyway and to deal with it you have to buy things, because it is not only enough to read or watch things. I’m sure you can also list a whole list you always need.
Of course he has to worry about what he wants, only the basics are always the same. I am well equipped in terms of Survival and also know how to use a lot, I am not a professional but as a hobby I like to do this and for the emergency, a backpack is always available packed with all the things I need for Survival.
And if you’re talking about Survival, you don’t know where to land. For example, if war is and you have to go away or certain areas are contaminated. Survival means survival for me and the basic setup is always the same. Of course, he has to find out how he is well over the years.
