Avoid cannibalism

Cannibalism on an Island can be avoided by not engaging in it. Cannibalism was used in the past as a survival tool for many who did not have other means to feed their families. The practice of cannibalism grew in popularity over time among both sailors and islanders. It was discovered by islanders that human flesh tastes very similar to pork. As a result, they regularly dug up fresh graves and stole bodies to cook. It was a way to provide good food and not have to hunt.


Cannibalism is still practiced today in some cultures. It is important to note that cannibalism often has a bad reputation, and it is often accompanied with false accusations that serve to denigrate entire groups. While there is no evidence that cannibalism promotes health, there are risks.

Build a shelter

Your shelter is the first and most important tool you have in your survival kit. Because heat is lost when you are wet, the shelter must be as dry as possible. It should also be high enough that rescuers can see it and prevent bugs from getting inside. Tree shelters are one of the easiest shelters to construct. It is simply a tree shelter that needs to be cut down and then replanted with large branches.

Fire is another essential item you'll need to survive on an island, but if it's raining, a shelter will keep the fire lit. It will keep your supplies safe from the damp environment. You won't have to go searching for dry fuel on the island. You will be able to heat your body with a fire, but also have shelter from predators.

How to Navigate with or Without a Compass

A compass doesn't tell you where you are going, but it does help you find your way back home if you lose your bearings.

There are three options for navigation:

  1. By landmarks
  2. Use a compass to find magnetic North
  3. By stars

Landmarks are objects that you can recognize when they appear. They include trees, buildings, rivers, etc. Landmarks can be useful because they are a visual indicator of where you're at.

Magnetic North simply indicates the direction in which Earth's magnetic field points. If you look at the sky, the sun appears like it's moving across the sky. The earth's magnetic field actually causes sun to move around. Although it appears that the sun is moving across the sky and around the horizon, it actually does so. The sun is directly overhead at noon. At midnight, the sun will be directly below you. The magnetic field on the earth changes daily, so the direction of the North pole's magnetic North pole can change every day. This means you might be off the course by quite a bit during a single day.

Stars are another method for navigating. Stars appear over the horizon to rise and lower. These points are in space and can be used to locate your position relative to other places.


What are the most important skills to survive in the wild

If you live off the soil, you must learn how to build a fire. This is more than just lighting a flame. It requires you to learn friction and fluent methods of starting a fire. You also need to know how to avoid getting burned by the flames.

It's important to learn how to make shelter with natural materials like leaves, grasses, trees, etc. To keep warm at night, you'll need to be able to use these materials in the best way. You should also know how much water your body needs to survive.

Other Survival Skills

While these things can help you live longer, they won't be as important as learning how to light a flame. Although you can eat many different types of plants and animals, if your fire is not lit, you will be unable to cook them.

It is also important to understand how and where to find food. This is important because you could be starving or becoming sick if you don’t know.
