It is too long a subject to type in here.

Buy a copy of Army Field Manual FM-21-76 "Survival Evasion and Escape" from the US Government Printing Office (www.usgpo.gov I think), it is pretty much the definitive reference on the subject.

It may have been superseded by a newer version since I bought mine, but the website should still allow you to search for Army field manuals on the subject.

There is an awful lot to learn about survival. You really should study up on it. The quickest one I can put on here for you if you expect someone to do your schoolwork on such a complex topic in this kind of forum is to tell you to drop to your knees, clasp your hands together, and pray someone more sympathetic comes on here.
