ACTIVITY 4

Means of signal for help: 

Signal:
As I've been living in the rainforest for a while I've already know how to make fire, so this method is very simple because fire is de vital thing for this tactic. 
Go to a high place and not so round of trees. When you found THAT place it comes the second thing for this grat method!
You have to cut a big size of your shoe's 
sole with your knife and burn it into fire.
That would create a very gray/black smoke that would make other people watch it and make them think that there is something or someone.
You need, a bit of fire but also a LOT of luck.

    ACTIVITY 2

    Take into account
    Example
    Why?
    Places you should avoid

    Caves
    Because they are a lot of bears
    A good place to camp

    at the top of a big tree
    because you are 100% safe
    Materials for the shelter

    big branches
    begause they are very, very solid
    Tips for the night
    when the night is coming go very fast to your shelter
    because you can`t see the snakes, bears, wolves etc


    You can start a fire with the hand drill method. This tactic is very easy but you have to do a lot of effort. you need a big piece of wood and another piece bit smaller. Tou rub the small branch to the big one that is on the floor. you cant get tired of thit because the peak of the branch would get cold.
    This is this easy but not so easy method.
