Gary Paulsen’s Adventures • His nonficGon book, Guts, tells about his own real-‐life experiences in the wild that provided all
of the great details for the Brian books.
• Paulsen has a list of top 10 survival Gps: • 1. Stop. Don't panic. Breathe deeply and make yourself think slowly. • 2. Look for shelter from wind, rain, snow, or sun depending upon weather. • 3. Conserve moisture. Avoid drinking anything with caffeine unless it is all you have. • 4. If it's hot, conserve body heat and fluids by taking it slow so you don't sweat. Or, if it's cold,
make a leaf or pine-‐needle bed to stay warm. • 5. Protect yourself — a long sharpened sGck can be a useful tool or weapon. In the same vein,
a fire can provide protecGon. Most animals won't bother you, but it just takes one. • 6. Take an inventory and count everything: matches, coins (they can make fish lures), candy,
any nearby food sources — grub worms, berries, ants, fish — all of it. Count it all. Even an old can may be handy.
• 7. Take a moment to review the long-‐term problems coming at you — do you need more wood because it's going to be very cold or a more permanent shelter?
• 8. Start thinking of geang help. Make a signal fire. Or make a large design on the ground that can be seen by air.
• 9. Don't listen to the fear side of your mind. Try to think of posiGve things. • 10. Amass wealth — get more wood, more leaves, more food, and more tools. You can never
have enough stuff.
