Coyotes are curious, clever, and stealthlike animals. They quickly learn to take advantage of any newly discovered food source. They tend to be pests and it is not uncommon to hear them howl between dawn and dusk. If you encounter an aggressive coyote, the best way to scare them off is to make loud noises such as banging a pot, yell, wave your hands or objects like sticks, or throw small stones at it. If you are harassed by a pack of coyotes, locate a large tree or rock and stand against it so you can fend them off at the front. A weapon would be your best choice if you exercised all options. Snakes can be invisible and sometimes you could step near one when you least expect it. However, they tend to scurry away from people. They are not looking for trouble and want to be left alone, like most wildlife. I recommend wearing gaiters or high cut leather boots when in areas that are known for snakes. Keep your feet out of thick grassy areas, rock ledges, and places where you pick up wood for a campfire. Instead use a stick to prod over rock ledges before you step onto them to give the snake a chance to slither away. When collecting wood poke in the area with a stick and wear thick leather gloves. Treat all snakes as if they are venomous. Those cheap snakebite kits sold at local retail stores or over the internet are worthless. Save your money and do not buy them. Let us separate fact from fiction when it comes to snake bites. Do not suck out the venom. Do not cut across the fang marks. Do not apply a cold pack. If you are bitten, take yourself to the hospital or get help ASAP because a snakebite could be deadly.

Lets begin with knowledge. I recommend reading and studying the “SAS Survival Handbook by John Lofty Wiseman.” It is one of the best survival books on how to survive anywhere, anyplace, and in any climate condition. Another excellent book is “98.6 Degrees by Cody Lundin.” He is an expert on survival, using primitive methods and the basic skills to survive for 72 hours. I also suggest other good reads such as the Army and Air Force survival manuals which have been around for almost 50 years. These books will arm you with superior knowledge which will help you adapt, overcome and thrive in most survival situations. However be forewarned: Survival knowledge will only get you so far. There is something more powerful and that is the will to live. Here is an example of having the will to live….The Miracle Girl in Peru.

Being adventurous, coming out of your comfort zone, and taking risks will lead you to survival. Survival was the main goal for the past and still is in the present. In the 1980s, MLK day was officially declared a holiday, terrorists attacks were happening in Lebanon with the Marines, the Vietnam Memorial opened in Washington, D.C., and the Vietnam War had recently ended. All of the events all have one thing in common, which is survival. There are three short stories that proves you have to take risks and come out of your comfort zone in order to reach survival. The first one is The Quickening by Michael Bishop and was written in 1982. Lawson, the main character in The Quickening, had to break out of his comfort zone and step up to be a leader

There are several different genres of hunting and many of them require the same set of skills. Hunting is an exciting hobby, but it’s also a hobby that many people do not know much about. Coyote hunting is one of the fastest growing genres of hunting that requires a variety of skills.
An example of survival can be found in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The town’s people were scared of this unknown creature and were afraid for their lives. In an act of survival, they hunted the beast down in a full town riot. Lucy, John, and Van Helsing hold a significant part in the novel as far as surviving goes. Even though they shared more than others, their survival skills left a significant impact on the

To start with, we can see a multitude of real life examples of survival just through our television. Reality TV shows like Naked and Afraid and Man vs. Wild focus on people being pushed into survival situations. These shows help to demonstrate just how far humans will go to survive; participants eat bugs, create tools, and brave diseases. That’s not to mention all of the other real cases in which people have had to go out of their way to live. It happens every day, enough that we consider them commonplace. From events as big as the influx of Syrian refugees making dangerous journeys to Europe, trying to escape danger, to normal people having to take care of themselves after being caught in deadly situations such as house fires or car crashes.
The novel, Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer tells the story of a notable traveler named Chris McCandless. The novel, oddly begins with his death, but one can learn new information about his life and all the adventures he has had. Despite the fact that almost everyone believes Chris is crazy, he is able to help us determine what it takes to survive: resiliency. Resiliency is the ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like (dictionary.com).
Being prepared before someone enters the desert should be their number one priority. First off Alloway said people need to have a hat with a wide brim and closed crown so it will protect your head and face from sunlight. Next, wear loose fitting long sleeves and pants so that air can be circulated easy. Sunglasses that exclude ultra-violet light are a necessity to help prevent cataracts later on in life. Some other areas of preparation are carrying sufficient amounts of water, first aid and survival kit for the desert environments, and some useful knowledge.

In today’s world, everyone has a sense of security that is born from the technological developments that science has given to society. While they may feel safe, there are much larger threats of disaster that people are not prepared for. These include natural disaster and human error. Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales aims to educate the people on how to better protect themselves and prevent death. The novel accomplishes this through sharing personal stories and stories of others who have survived near death experiences. This is an important subject in our culture and its importance is verified by professional reviews. To further express this importance, there are a plethora of popular television shows in pop culture that seek to entertain as well as educate its audience. Although modern technology makes it feel relatively easy to avoid and escape life threatening situations, basic survival skills, like those taught in Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales, are a useful tool to have in any situation. These thoughts are reflected in qualified book reviews that further show the significance of the subject in today’s society.
