How to Signal at Sea ? Use flares, dye markers and movement of any kind to attract attention at sea. If you have no signalling equipment, wave clothing or tarpauliins and churn the water if it is still. At night or in fog use a whistle to maintain contact with other survivors.

To reduce risk keep skin covered, sleep under a mosquito net, use insect repellents, and do not camp near swamps or stagnat water. A course of tablets, begun before exposure, can protect against malaria. Not restricted to the tropics, transmitted through saliva of female anpheles mosquito. It kills over a million people a year in Africa alone.

Atap and other large leaves when thatched make the best roofs and walls for jungle shelters. Look for any plant similarly structured, the bigger and broader the better. Closely layer halves of atap on a roof frame. Walls can be less dense.

SAS 031 - Edible Plants
Some plants have edible stems. If they are soft, peel off outer stringy parts, slice, then boil. Inner pith of some stems, example elder, can be extracted by splitting stem and eaten. Use fibrous stems to make twine.

SAS 063 - Hunting
The danger of hunting is animals will attack except in self-defence, but do not camp on a trail or near an animal watering spot. Do not provoke a bear encounter as bears are scavangers and will come to camps in search of food. Do not get close or try to catch them.

SAS 058 - Animal Trapping
A deadfall is an ample shake or log that is tilted on a plot and kept up with areas of limbs (stays), with one of them that serves as a trigger. When the creature moves the trigger which may have trap on or close it, the rock or log falls, pounding the creature. The figure-four dead fall is an in vogue and basic trap built from materials recognized in the hedge.

SAS 004 - Survival Kit
The survival kit should contain the Beta light, Snare wire, Flexible saw, a medical kit that contains, Analgesic, Intestinal Sedative, Antibiotic, Antihistamine, Water Sterilising tablets, Anti-malaria tablets, Potassium permanganate, Surgical Blades, Butterfly sutures, plasters. In addition to these a waterproof pouch, Solid fuel tablets, Signal flares would be beneficial.

SAS 095 - Camp Tools & Beds
Beds: Avoid lying on cold, damp ground. In the tropics raise the bed to provide a current of air. In cold climates, Keep a fire going through the night and build a screen to reflect heat back on your sleeping area. On dry ground, stones heated in the fire and then buried under a thin layer of soil beneath the bedding will keep you warm.

Seaweeds occur anchored tot bottom in shallow waters, or floating on open sea. Coastal weeds are often stratified: green forms grow in surface waters, red in shallow water, brown a little deeper. Wash seaweeds in freshwater before eating, to remove salt. If you can read the subtle signs that animals leave, you will know what hunting/trapping methods to use.
