how do you survive in the prairie if you only have a 6-inch knife and the clothes on your back?

Answer 1

build a shelter, build a fire, hunt/trap some rabbits, then build a fence and start looking for some food to plant and make some tools.

Answer 2

You should invest in a good Survival Manual for ideas and instruction on how to build various shelters, how to acquire and trap food, how to start fires, etc. A good Survival Manual will tell you how to survive in most any kind of environments

I recommend; (in paperback or hardcover)
THE SAS SURVIVAL GUIDE HANDBOOK
By.., John "lofty" Wiseman

With this information, you could survive with a knife and the clothes on your back. A person needs a Multi-Tool at all times. It has a knife, small saw blade, screwdriver ends, and more.., much better than a swiss army knife. It would be the MacGyver tool of choice, if he had known about it. ;-)

Answer 3

Use a shoelace to tie your knife to a stick and make a spear, and hopefully kill a rabbit, turtle, lizard or bird. Use your other shoelace to make a friction bow for making fire.

If this doesn't work, use the knife to dig for grubs and worms.

If your prairie doesn't have a water source, you're just screwed.

Answer 4

Find water, as this is the most important in keeping you alive. After this, it is best to collect things to eat, plants, most likely. Depending on the temperature, it would be wise to start a fire to keep yourself warm. If you choose to move on to eating meat, you could use the knife to help form traps and to cut and clean any animals you find. Use the fire to cook them. Other than this, try to construct some sort of shelter to keep you safe at night. Or at least something warm to sleep on, so the ground doesn't sap your body of warmth - hypothermia should be the least of your problems. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

If you are lost in the bush, STOP, rest, gather your thoughts. Panic often is your WORST enemy.
Find 1.WATER 2.SHELTER and less importantly 3. FOOD. If you can't find those without sweating, then find a cool shady spot and rest till someone finds you. Try to leave obvious signs of your whereabouts.

Answer 6

you cant survive three hours without shelter
three days without water and three weeks without food

but nobody likes reading so watch the show Man Vs Wild on the discovery channel thatt should tell you all you need to know make sure you watch the one on dessert and not rain forrest or the alps

hope i helped;-)
