other Autonomous Survival at Sea How and Why circumstances, the man was in
the open sea swimming rescue vehicle or makeshift raft, he would have
to move much. Survival in the ocean has a number of features. Sea - no solid ground and that's it. In
the cold seas of the human body rapidly supercooled in the tropics, on
the contrary, suffered greatly from the heat and dehydration. The perennial problem of survival in the sea - no fresh water. It would seem that a lot of water around, and a man threatened with death by thirst. Also, not just on the high seas to provide themselves with food and protection from the ever-changing weather.This articles section on our website dedicated to autonomous survival at sea. From the materials section, you learn how to deal with the sea or use her powers for the good of themselves. Learn how to get out of the sea salt water - fresh water, suitable for drinking. Become familiar with the features of sea fishing and other ways to earn their living, drifting in the open sea. Much
attention is paid to questions of construction and equipment of
swimming different designs, making them more sustainable and buoyancy. In short, the range of issues considered in extreme survival at sea.Dangers of autonomous navigationIf you're in the middle of the ocean drift, then get ready to confront a number of risks and dangers. In this article, we discuss the major risks faced by the people in distress in the waters of the open sea.Danger of drowning. If there is a wreck or other accident, which resulted in a man is left alone with the waves, there's a risk of drowning. Even a professional swimmer, sooner or later, he knocks out power. Even in order to keep afloat, to economize on energy. And it's still in good conditions where water is sufficiently comfortable temperature. To make a long stay afloat, we need a raft, floating buoy or a chip.Dehydration. Though around literally a sea of water, but it is salty and not potable. Prepare fresh water from salt can be, but it is not easy and unproductive, even if we collect solar still. And of course, if you are drifting, clinging to a piece of ship, desalinate water, you can not because of the lack of basic foundation for any desalination plants.Sun or heat stroke is a threat in the equatorial and tropical, warm seas. You can fight to defend themselves from the sun under the clothes, a tent in the flesh.Hypothermia - the danger of northern seas.Motion sickness or motion sickness. Many people with a weak vestibular system suffer from pitching in the sea. Can blur consciousness, due to vomiting and dehydration sets the general weakening of the body.Poisonous fish and marine animals also pose a serious threat to survive in the open sea. At sea, really, along with edible, common and poisonous species of fish, shellfish.Predatory fish and animals, including sharks and killer whales, can pose a threat to humans, drifting in the open sea. Especially if the watercraft is not reliable and the man was bleeding wounds ...Food in autonomous navigationIf you are drifting in the open ocean, in addition to all-out problems with potable water, and the need to solve the problem of sustenance. Even if you go into the sea from the land and made a supply of food, it still will not last long. The same applies to the case of a shipwreck. If even managed to grab some food from the galley before the ship sank, - you still have to somehow replenish stocks.The first thing that comes to mind - this fishing. Still, the sea is full of various animals. Well, if there is at the disposal of improvised bait: fishing line or string, a hook wire, pins, bone.You can build a spear and dive from their boats to hunt for some depth. But should beware of sharks. Also, it should tie his leg to the flesh, or he could easily carry unpredictable ocean currents.While sailing on the high seas to best power solely by carbohydrates. Unfortunately, all of the fish and other animals that can get in the sea - a protein. If we had the opportunity to make a supply of food - better if it's carbohydrates. In addition to sufficient calories, they contribute to water retention in the body. Naturally, in the open sea will always be shortage of fresh water, so that the loss of moisture - it is a serious threat.Surviving in cold waterBe in the icy water - a serious test. Even for the trained body - it is a huge stress. In water temperatures below 5 degrees. Celsius, a person can survive for about 15-20 minutes, and then start to lower the temperature of the body. The blood begins to move slowly begin numbing of course, makes your breath. Well, then - the end.It's one thing if you consciously have to cross the water obstacle of ice water. Other - if you happen to be in cold water. If you fall into a lake or river - try without losing a second taken to shore. If the icy waves around the northern seas - the only hope for a miraculous rescue came to the rescue in the form of a ship or in a raft. As you know, if there was the last and there is no ship nearby, or raft in order - it's time to ... unytIn order to stay in the cold water as long as possible, it should be actively moving. But, without strain. Excessive exercise quickly exhausted the body.If it is possible to prepare for crossing water obstacles with cold water - this is good. We must try to keep clothes dry and swim naked. If there is available to fat - body rub with it - it will keep the heat extra few seconds to minutes (not without reason that waterfowl by body fat, well kept in cold water).I do not need to remind you that water obstacle to overcome an ice-water need in the shortest possible time. After selecting the opposite bank, we need to actively move to drive the blood. Activating blood circulation leads to heating of the body. Nice to do some exercise. Rub the snow. Then you need to wipe and put on dry clothes. Light a fire and finally warm up. If possible - make a hot drink.The distress at seaIn distress at sea, one is confronted with a number of serious problems. We humans as a species are too many branches of evolution back out of the water. Now, our element - land. And to survive in the open sea for a man much more severe test than if it were on land. Many techniques of survival at sea are specific and differ from similar techniques on land. Today we will talk about how to feed distress at sea.On land, one of the most effective ways to give a signal of distress signal fire.However, in the open sea, a fire is only possible if you are on a ship. In 9 cases out of 10, there is no ship, there is only a small raft, a piece of floating material or nothing at all ... so that the fire does not grow on anything and not anything else.To be widened by the waves should be possible to make themselves and their flotation device, as it is possible more vivid and visible from the air. In the sea there are only two chances - you will notice from the ship or aircraft.Well, if the signal is set, Flares, fireworks. Often does not. When in sight seem ship - best to try to "blind" someone on the ship sun glare from a mirror or any smooth surface. Such a signal mirror swept far away, so there is a chance to get attention, even if you are visually almost invisible. However bad that this only works if the sun.At night, you can apply a light signal lamp or any other source of light that is available.When there is nothing of the above, is up to his full height (if your raft allows it) and waving, yelling, whistling. If there is a long pole or stick - tie him and waving a bright cloth over his head, with a wild Oromo: "Zenit - Champion!".Extraction of fresh waterWhen autonomous navigation on the high seas is an issue provide fresh drinking water. How to be a man, to appear in the ocean without water supplies? How to get fresh water into the sea? These questions will be answered in this article.The easiest and most effective way to desalinate sea water - distiller. It looks like this. Take another bowl or wide vessel. At the bottom of the mug set. In a bowl pour the salt water. Cover the bowl with polyethylene, cloth, etc. Fasten the tape to the bowl with a rope or something else. In the center, put the cup over a small stone or other small object. We put a structure in the sun. The principle of operation is quite simple: the sea water in the bowl evaporates, the film appears on top of the condensate, which flows to the center, by lying on top of a small weight, drops of condensation dripping into a cup - it is fresh, potable water.As we can see from a fairly simple set of available tools can do a simple distillation and get the necessary fresh water. Naturally, you can use different variants of the distiller, on the same principle. If you can make a fire and a steel utensils - can desalinate water in times faster than the sun.But what if there is nothing to make that product, distiller? There is another option of saving to provide themselves with moisture. Marine fish, marine mammals, sea birds - all of them there is fluid in the tissues, blood, finally. Thanks to the bio filter in the gills, saltwater fish are not salty. Eating fish, using her blood - can replenish necessary fluids in the body. So one must be able to catch the fish. You need to have a fishing line, hooks, bait, or manage to replace these items and some materials at hand. Scaffold can be made from yarn, spreading a cloth woven from fibers and likeness cord, use other fibrous materials availability. Hooks can be made of wire, pins, fish bones, etc. Bait may serve as a model tyrant: pieces of fabric, thread, plastic fringe chopped condom. When you catch a small fish - it can be cut into small pieces and used as packing.If you have the motivation to survive - a means for solving problems always exist, even in the most unexpected places and ways. It must be remembered and never give up
