the whole Kim family incident has been very tragic....
and so i ask,
are there any survival tips for when you are stranded somewhere?
any useful things?
Stay in one place, you saw the results of trying to hike out. Do what you can to stay warm and dry and hydrated. A car is easier to spot from the air than someone walking through the forest.

I'm very saddened by Mr Kim's death and wondering what you think may have saved him from such a cruel death? Any survival skills?
thing is, may he rest in peace, he should have stuck with the family. started three nice smokey fires, and huddled up. this is america, three colums of smoke will draw attention.
you must remember extreme weather can kill you. wait it out.
I am writing a survival book and had just started planning the "hunting" chapter, and then thought, what if you need to hunt, or make things when you are stranded, but dont have a knife? what (from the forest, jungle, island, etc.) would you make it from and how? if any one has a step vy step guide that would be great.
thanks

PS: sorry if this annoys u but i didnt know which category to put it in.
In the absence of metal rock usually has the best knife like qualities. Selecting the proper rock for this purpose is difficult. What you are looking for is rocks that are made from silica (glass). When broken rocks made up of silica leave sharp edges like shards of glass. The goal is to select an irregular shaped rock to break (e.g. longer flatter rocks are easier to break, so the more a rock deviates from a sphere the easier it will be to break) that is not to large, ideal would be double fist sized and smaller. Use a hard surface like another rock as your base and finally a third rock to do your smashing. Once broken chose a shard with the best potential "knife" shape and then again use other rocks this time just to chip at it for better shape. I recommend sticking with a bare stone handle to begin with. If that is not possible due to sharp edges, the bark of many small shrubs can be stripped in strips and used as a basic rope to wrap around the handle to avoid cuts. Remember to avoid injury. In the absence of medical care (eg antibiotics) it is important to avoid cuts and scrapes as much as possible.
in the water, not an island.
that's why I said "recorded survival" strategically hiding the implication of rescue so you wouldn't find it.
Maybe the USS Indianapolis sinking? Those guys were adrift in the ocean for at least a week, I think.
I need to know some survival techniques for a project I'm doing please help???
Your needs can vary depending on the time of year and location of the world you are in. But even then you top concerns are water, shelter and food.
