You need to constantly monitor your condition, search for life-saving supplies, and master survival skills like fire-building, gear maintenance, hunting, fishing, and landmark-based navigation. Learn to decipher Mother Nature’s signs so that extreme weather conditions doesn’t catch you off-guard. Stay alert as dangerous wildlife can attack you at any moment. Protect yourself against bears and other animals by crafting weaponry.
