Robinson Crusoe mastered the science of survival from his own experience. Using only materials at hand and things rescued from the ship, the sailor managed to adapt to existence on a desert island.
Instructions
Step 1
Survive at any cost
The first time Robinson Crusoe had the opportunity to die at the time of the shipwreck itself. The will of chance helped keep him alive. Of course, Robinson was in the right place at the right time and was able to get out alive on land when his comrades drowned. On the first night, when the island was unexplored, the sailor prudently climbed a thick, branchy tree. Thus, Robinson saved himself from the likely encroachment of large wild predators and venomous snakes.
Step 2
Take everything you need
Since Robinson's half-sunken ship initially remained within reach, he was able to take as many things as possible to the island. First of all, it was necessary to take food - rice, crackers, cheese, boiled goat meat. Robinson also managed to get on the ship carpentry tools, guns with gunpowder, sabers, clothes, pillows and sails.
Step 3
Survey of the territory and creation of temporary housing
On the very first day, Robinson decided to inspect the surroundings in order to understand if there was any danger from the local fauna, to determine what else to eat (since the reserves would only be enough for a limited time). The sailor learned that there are birds and animals on the island, like hares. Having fenced off a small area of boxes and chests, Robinson built something like a hut. Soon the sailor improved the dwelling, making a tent out of poles and sails. Robinson also made a bed from a mattress and was able to sleep in relatively comfortable conditions.
Step 4
Building a full-fledged home
Then Robinson set about making full-fledged housing. To do this, he fenced off the site with stakes and began to dig a cave. The time has come to create the hearth. Then Robinson acquired full-fledged furniture. During the construction, the sailor got to know the local fauna better, learned that there are also goats on the island.
Step 5
Psychological resilience
Of course, Robinson had everything necessary for existence, but it was very difficult to be alone on the island without communication. Fortunately, the sailor managed to grab ink and quills from the ship, so he could record his thoughts. A dog and cats escaped from the ship, so Robinson had the opportunity to communicate with at least some living creatures. And then he was lucky to meet a living soul in the person of Friday's faithful friend from a tribe of savages who lived nearby. Only such comprehensive survival work helped the hero escape.
