Jungle country is not friendly to man, but it is possible to survive there. You must have the right equipment and you must know a few important things about woodcraft. Then your chances of staying alive are very good.
No one should go into the jungle without the right equipment. You need lightweight clothing, a good knife, and a compass. Fishhooks and a line, a rifle and ammunition, matches in a waterproof container are necessary too. So is a mosquito net to protect the head.
In the jungle you can get hopelessly lost within five minutes after leaving a known landmark. That is why you should always carry a compass. In open country, during the day, you can tell which way to go by studying the sun. At night the stars are sure guides to direction. But in most places the jungle rooftop is so thick that it is impossible to see the sun or the stars. Again and again you must check your position by compass.
Keep watchful. Watch the ground in front of you carefully. Stop and listen now and again. Avoid haste, and rest often. In a place that is hot and damp, the person who sets a fast pace will soon become tired. A steady, even pace is wisest in the long run.
If you lose your way, don’t be scared. Try to decide how long it has been since you were sure of your position. Mark the spot where you are on a tree. Put the marks on four sides of the tree , so that you will be able to see them from any direction. Then you can begin retracing your steps, knowing that you can always find the spot from which you started. Except in an emergency, never try to travel through the jungle at night.
Whenever possible, it is wise to follow streams and rivers that are going in your general direction. This may cause you many extra miles of travel. But in the end it will save time and energy. Nothing is more exhausting than cutting out a trail cross-country through unbroken jungle.
If a river is broad and deep and has no rapids, rafting is the best means of travel. Bamboo grows along the banks of many jungle streams. Since it is hollow and extremely strong, it makes a perfect raft.
If possible, stay away from high ridges when you are traveling through jungle country. They are often covered with climbing palms. They have sharp thorns that cut and tear at your clothing. Even with a sharp knife, it is almost impossible to cut out a path through climbing palms without getting completely caught in them.
Mosquitoes will be with you all the time. The only defense against them is to wear the right kind of clothing. You should never wear shorts in the jungle. Your trousers must be lightweight and long. The legs of the trousers should be tucked into your boot tops.
Finding water that is safe to drink can be a problem. Many clear and fresh-looking streams and rivers carry germs that can be deadly to man. Streams found near native villages are always dangerous, even if they are clear and fresh-looking. Such water must always be boiled before you drink it .
Luckily, the jungle has many kinds of plants and vines that give water. The big rough-barked vines called lianas (藤蔓植物) are one of the best sources of water. A section several feet long should give you more than a cup of clear water. Water from almost all plants is pure enough to drink. But stay away from vines that have bitter or milky juice.
Many jungle plants also provide food. Before you go into the jungle, learn to recognize the varieties of plants that can be eaten. If you haven’t had a chance to do this, watch what kinds of fruits and nuts the birds and monkeys choose. Such food is almost always safe for a man to eat.
When you are seeking meat, rivers and streams are the best places to hunt. You do not need to be familiar with the many different kinds of birds and animals. You can eat any of them.
Animals that do not eat plants eat each other. When you see an animal in the jungle, you can be sure that its source of food is somewhere close by. That source may mean for you the difference between going to sleep well-fed or hungry.
Surviving in the jungle is a science. The jungle peoples have become perfect in this science, and you can too. Learn as much as you can about what to expect in the jungle. Make sure you have the right equipment

行走在叢林
叢林是不友善的人,但有可能在那裏生存。妳必須有正確的設備,妳必須知道的幾個重要的東西圖片。然後妳活命的機會是非常好的。
沒有人應該進入叢林中沒有合適的設備。妳需要輕薄的衣服,好刀,和指南針。魚鉤和線,步槍和彈藥,在防水容器也很有必要。是壹所以蚊帳保護頭部。
在叢林中妳可以得到無望後五分鐘內留下壹個著名的標誌。這就是為什麽妳應該總是攜帶壹個指南針。在開放的國家,在白天,妳可以告訴它的方式去研究太陽。夜晚星星壹定指導方向。但在大多數地方的叢林的屋頂很厚,它是不可能看到的太陽或星星。壹次又壹次妳必須檢查妳的位置的指南針。
保持警惕。看妳前面的地面仔細。不要聽了。避免匆忙,並經常休息。在壹個地方是炎熱和潮濕,誰的人設置壹個快節奏很快會變得疲憊。壹個穩定的,甚至是最聰明的步伐在長期運行。
如果妳失去妳的方式,不要害怕。試圖決定如何長時間以來妳確定妳的位置。標記的地方妳是在樹上。把商標的四側面上,這樣妳將能夠看到他們從任何方向。然後妳就可以追溯妳的步驟,因為妳總是可以找到的地方,妳開始。除在緊急情況下,不要試圖穿過叢林的夜晚。
只要有可能,它是明智的後續溪流和河流,在您的方向。這會使妳許多額外英裏的旅行。但最後會節省時間和精力。什麽是更比切割出壹排越野穿越連綿的叢林。
如果壹個河寬且深,沒有急流泛舟,是最好的旅行方式。竹子生長在河岸叢林溪流。因為它是空心的,非常強大的,它使壹個完美的筏。
如果可能,遠離山脊當妳穿過叢林的國家。他們經常爬滿棕櫚樹。他們有尖銳的刺,剪切和撕裂妳的服裝。即使是壹把鋒利的刀,它幾乎是不可能的,剪出壹個路徑通過登山手掌沒有得到完全陷入了他們。
蚊子會壹直陪著妳。唯壹的防禦是穿合適的衣服。妳不應該穿短褲在叢林。妳的褲子要輕,長。褲子的腿要塞進妳啟動上衣。
尋找安全飲用水,可以是壹個問題。許多清晰新鮮的溪流和河流攜帶的病菌,可以致命的男人。溪流附近發現土著村莊都是危險的,即使他們是明確的,新鮮的。這樣的水必須煮熟才能喝。
幸運的是,叢林裏有許多種植物和藤本植物和水。大rough-barked葡萄藤(稱為藤蔓植物)是最好的壹個來源的水。壹段幾英尺長應該給妳超過壹杯清水。水從幾乎所有的植物是足夠純凈酒。但遠離藤有苦味或乳白色的汁液。
叢林植物也提供食物。妳進入叢林之前,學會承認的植物品種,可以吃。如果妳沒有機會這樣做,看哪種水果和堅果的鳥類和猴子選擇。這些食品幾乎都是安全的人吃。
當妳正在尋找肉,河流和溪流是最好的地方打獵。妳不需要熟悉許多不同種類的鳥和動物。妳可以吃任何人。
動物不吃植物吃對方。當妳看見壹個動物在叢林中,妳可以肯定,其食物來源是接近的。這可能意味著妳之間的差異要睡飽或饑餓。
生存在叢林是科學。叢林人民已成為完美的科學,妳也可以。盡可能多地了解妳所期待的叢林。確保妳有正確的設備。
有不通順的地方請自己改壹下......謝謝.
