As we’ve talked about before, cold is one of the quickest killers. Exposure to cold can kill you in only a few hours. Building a shelter and starting a fire should be your first priorities, especially at night, but you can’t always just wait for rescue to come. In order to get out of a snow-covered environment, you will need more than boots which will have you running out of energy fast trying to plow through snow. You will need snowshoes so that you can walk on top of deep snow. In this video we see a basic build for wilderness improvised snowshoes that only require a knife and some cord to make from material available in the woods, and we see a demonstration of how effective they can be. This is not a skill you want to find yourself without if you are stranded in an area with deep snow fighting for survival.
