Study Notes
Preparation for Hunting Trips
- Learn as much about the hunting area as possible before arrival to ensure safety and preparedness.
- Always leave a hunting plan with trusted individuals, including location and expected return time.
- Begin physical conditioning well in advance of the trip to increase stamina and reduce fatigue.
Clothing and Safety
- Clothing should be suitable for expected weather conditions to maintain comfort and safety.
- The most crucial item of clothing for hunters is daylight fluorescent orange outerwear for visibility and safety.
Navigation and Survival
- Understand that true north and magnetic north differ; the difference is termed 'declination'.
- A compass points to magnetic north, which is essential for navigation.
- Basic survival rules include never leaving camp without fire-starting tools, bringing a map and compass, and informing someone of your location.
Emergency Responses
- In case of getting lost, always seek a natural shelter first for protection against the elements.
- The international emergency distress signal is signaled by three repeats of any signal (e.g., whistle, light).
- Daily water intake should be between two to four quarts, and boiling is the best method for water purification.
Hypothermia and Heat Exhaustion
- Prevent hypothermia by avoiding dangerous weather conditions; wet clothing increases risk.
- In extremely cold conditions without fire, use a thermal foil blanket for insulation.
- Symptoms of heat exhaustion include pale, clammy skin, weakness, and muscle cramps; ensure hydration and rest to prevent it.
First Aid Knowledge
- If a victim has a back or neck injury, move them only if necessary, pulling headfirst while supporting the head and neck.
- For second-degree or third-degree burns, wrap the area with a loose, dry dressing; do not immerse in ice or cold water.
- For a deep chest wound, cover it with the palm of your hand until a suitable bandage can be applied.
Recognizing Symptoms
- Cold, pale, clammy skin; rapid pulse; and shallow breathing are symptoms of shock, requiring immediate medical attention.
