Read 'n' Seed 4: Third Quarter of "Man vs. Wild"

1. For this quarter I read the next 64 pages which were pages 130-164. 
2. The main topics in the third quarter were: Surviving the jungles and deserts.
3. I've yet again learned a ton of vital and essential information on surviving some dangerous terrain; jungles and deserts. 

• Jungles: 
• Friend not Foe: Adapting to such an alien environment is a mental battle that must be won. Think of the jungle as your friend, not your enemy. It can provide everything you need to survive.
• Slow Down: Speed is not the way of the jungle. The faster you go, the quicker you'll fall. Move slowly and deliberately around obstacles, checking the undergrowths as you go. 
• Keep covered: The jungle's greatest danger is "death by a thousand cuts." Keep stings, bites, and scratches to a minimum from the outset and ensure your skin is covered.
• Sleep High: The jungle floor is a repository of creepy-crawlies. Always try to sleep on a raised platform or A-frame bed.
• Rivers: The sure way out of any jungle is by its rivers. Look for them, then follow them. They will eventually lead you to safety and civilization.
• Deserts: 
• Think Water: In the desert, dehydration is Public Enemy Number One. Don't waste a drop of water and make it your first priority to find.
• Keep Your Head Covered: In extreme heat, your head and neck will gain heat as fast as they lose it in freezing weather. Always keep them loosely covered.
• Find Shade: Nothing will make you dehydrate faster than direct exposure to the sun. Keep well covered and out of the sun and use the terrain and surrounding foliage to keep in the shade. 
• Don't Waste Energy: Any vigorous activity will make you sweat. In the heat of the day, don't exert yourself unless you are certain there is something to gain.
• Move Early or Late: If you are sure that moving on will help and you are confident of finding water, do so early or late, when the sun is less fierce, or under a full moon.

      4. I would continue for people to take away from this book that they have what it takes to survive in vast, dangerous, and unforgiving terrain. "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude of mind."-William James. By following these tips you do in fact have a chance of surviving any types of wilderness/terrain, especially the jungle or desert.
