Entry No. 7 Stranded


If I were stranded on the top of a mountain and I got separated from my friends I would probably search for them for hours upon hours until it was so dark that I couldn’t see, then crash out near a tree because of exhaustion . The next day I would rise and try to go looking for my friends once again yelling until I couldn’t anymore. Shortly after all of that I would try and gather as many wet leaves and things like that on top of dry wood to make a large amount of smoke so that anyone from mile around could spot me easily. I would use the already started fire to create another fire and when it begins to burn more steadily I would dump small amounts of water on the flame to get a big bunch of smoke up into the air.

While the fire is burning I would go into the more dense area and try to find some sort of large stick to possibly sneak up on a small animal and club it across the head. For a second backup plan of means of food, I would try to find some small logs long enough to trap some freshwater fish that inhabited the small stream near my camp. As soon as a fish would go into the trap I would knock the logs over rendering the fish helpless in the water. Besides all of this I would just try to keep safe from big animals and crazy hillbillies.
