READING AND WRITING
How to survive in the Jungle
How to Survive in the Jungle Last week in our series ‘Life in the Jungle’ we looked at the some
of the most fascinating jungles in the world. In this week’s feature, we’re looking at how to
survive in the jungle. Alana Harris gives us some ideas. When you’re in the jungle, you need to
leave all your luxuries at home! That means, forget your mobile phone, your favourite coffee,
your chocolate bars, and your CD player. When you’re in the jungle, you need only four things –
water, food, shelter, and fire. You can find all of these easily, but you must know what to look
for. Let’s start with water. Even though there’s a lot of water in most tropical environments, you
may not find it immediately. One way to discover it is to follow animals and birds, as they need
liquid regularly. Insects can also be a good sign, because they usually build their nests near
water. However, don’t only look for rivers. You can also find water in plants such as vines,
roots, and palm trees.
You can usually find a lot of food in the jungle, but you must be happy to eat things you
wouldn’t normally want to, for example, insects. However, you need to know the difference
between those you can eat and those that are poisonous, so start reading about them now! For
cooking and for warmth, collect dry firewood, leaves, and grass. Then make fire using dry sticks
– or take a box of matches or a lighter with you!
The type of shelter you need depends on the weather and the kind of animals that are in the
jungle. Malaria carrying mosquitoes and other insects can be very dangerous, so protect yourself
against bites. If you don’t have any insect repellent, try putting mud on your skin.
Of course, if you’re lost in the jungle, you’ll want to get home again. The sun and stars can help
you find your way, so you might want to study astronomy. Alternatively, when you find a river,
follow it. People usually live near rivers, so if you walk along the river bank, eventually you’ll
find a village.
