outdoor survival tips

I am playing an outdoor survival game? Any ideas on what to use to do what? Read below!?
Ok I just started a game- like my plane crashed and I'm the only one alive. I have 1 cloth bag with a first aid kit, pen, notebook, and a first-aid tips book. i also have a long rope, jumprope,1 bowl, a waterbottle, a bowl, and a bucket. I am playing in my backyard. I have a big tree. I have a swing-set but I don't think I should use it. i have a little sand-box and castle I also don't think I should use. I get a flashlight inside when its dark? Any tips on like what I could use to do what? It's boring just sitting their. I need ideas of what to use things for. Like (EXAMPLE) maybe I could use the rope as a rope swing. And I could get some things from inside but not like a bed or so much stuff it takes 2 hours to clean-up. Please tell me ideas. Thanks, LOVE Nicole!
ONLY NICE COMMENTS!
In real life, your priorities are...
- Shelter- where can you go to be safe from insects, animals, and the weather- but still be seen by rescuers?
- Water- you need water to survive. What are you doing for it? You have plenty of storage things, where is the water coming from and how are you making possibly unsafe water safe? (Boiling would be the most common answer.)
- Food- not a high priority in the short term, but it can be a morale booster anytime. Even something like making tea can help!
- Fire- this is a key survival skill. Learning how to make a fire under a wide variety of conditions with an assortment of tools is very helpful.
Some skills you can work on would include (assuming you are old enough, or that they are safe to practice for you):
- Fire-making. Try using some fluffed cotton from your first aid kit, the batteries from your flashlight, and some steel wool, OR a small lighter you had in the first aid kit to sterilize things with.
- Catching bugs. Shine your light on a sheet and see what gathers. Learn what bugs are what and which can be eaten and how.
- Making a shelter. Learn how to make a lean-to, teepee-like structure, etc.
- Make a bed, chair, or other furniture. Learn to lash sticks together to make simple structures.
- Learn which plants in your neighborhood are safe to eat. If you have access to a place where you have permission and know the plants are not exposed to chemical sprays or fertilizers, you might even try gathering and preparing them!
Grab yourself a copy of a good survival and outdoor activities book. The Boy Scout Field Book is OK, but the Boy's Handy Book is my favorite for this.

Tips for Safe Hiking in Colorful Colorado
Hiking is a mini-adventure. It lets you take a break from your normal routine without the time and expense involved in "real" vacations. You can see new things, have new experiences, and, if you want, challenge yourself physically. If you live in Colorado, you never lack for Colorado hiking opportunities. The State has an abundance of world-class hiking trails, far enough to give that remote feeling yet still relatively nearby.
Like any other activity, Colorado hiking is a great way to enjoy yourself and just have fun. However, if you want to get the most out of it and have the best experience over it, safety comes first. Below are some tips to help you remain safe and secure even while Colorado hiking:
Be Prepared!
It's a scout's motto, but even for Colorado hikers, it's a good motto to adopt. Wilderness activities like Colorado hiking involve many risks. But most of these risks can be easily avoided or at least mitigated if you keep in mind your basic knowledge about outdoors survival and preparation.
The first thing you need to do is to know what risks you'll likely be facing. The thought of being in the Colorado mountain wild areas evokes all sorts of horror and adventure stories of potential calamities when in reality the most prevalent risk anyone faces is pretty mundane: getting wet and cold.
As with most hiking trips, Colorado hiking requires that you lighten your load as much as you can. That alone is not much trouble, if only you knew exactly what you're going to encounter on a hike. Your lack knowledge is never more emphasized when it's your first time being in that area. So chances are you are going to end up loading your backpack with all sorts of "emergency" essentials, when the only equipment you really need are things that can help you cope with rain storms, rapid drops in temperature, heavy winds, injuries, fatigue, getting lost, and animal encounters.
It gets easier if you follow the following sensible practices when you go Colorado hiking:
- Avoid hiking alone. Even a minor injury or mishap can turn into a potential major problem if there is no one nearby to assist you.
- Before you hike out from a trailhead, make sure that you leave some sort of information about what trail you are going to follow, what time you left, etc. That way, if you fail to return after an awfully long time, someone will know where to find you. However, be careful about leaving any specific information as not every person has good intentions.
- Let an acquaintance in town know where you are going and when you intend to be back. If you don't make it back, they can notify the authorities.
- Take along a cellphone if you have one in case of an emergency that requires help. In many cases in the wilderness, you will not be able to get a cellphone connection due to mountainous terrain, being in a canyon, or distance. However, even if you cannot initially connect through, you or someone else can climb to a ridgeline or summit and have a better chance for a connection from there.

yo ogi has been gone. i dont know what youre trying to pull making two accounts. he has been on a outdoor survival field trip
Tuna and turkey are probably the two worst things to take if not on ice as they both spoil very easily and if you are putting mayonnaise on them,,,,,,even worse. PB and J is always your best choice if not using a cooler. And there are many different versions of a peanut butter sandwich, try it with marshmallow cream or a variety of other than grape jellies. Other than that try cheese and crackers, protein bars, fruit, chips. Lunchables are always good.
