Avoid cannibalism

Cannibalism on an Island can be avoided by not engaging in it. In the past, cannibalism was a survival technique for many people who had no other way to feed themselves. The practice of cannibalism grew in popularity over time among both sailors and islanders. It was discovered by islanders that human flesh tastes very similar to pork. Islanders discovered that human flesh tasted a lot like pork, so they dug new graves and stole their bodies to cook. It was a way to provide good food and not have to hunt.


Cannibalism is still practiced by some cultures. Cannibalism is a controversial practice that has been criticized and often associated with false allegations, which can be used to disparage entire communities. There is no evidence that cannibalism proves to be healthy. However, it has its downsides.

Create a shelter

The first and most important tool in your survival kit is a shelter. Because heat is lost when you are wet, the shelter must be as dry as possible. The shelter should be high enough for rescuers to see and insects to avoid. A tree shelter is one the easiest shelters that you can make. You will need a large tree to create the roof and large branches to create the walls.

To survive on an island, fire is another important item. But, if it rains, shelters will keep the fire going. It will also protect your supplies from the watery environment. This will prevent you from having to hunt through the island in search of dry fuel. Apart from keeping you warm, shelters will also keep you safe from predators.

Find food

When you find yourself on an island deserted, the first thing you need to do is search for food. Generally, it's easy. Crabs and fish can be found in the ocean. Land-based food sources are plants and fruit. Make a spear and a fishing net from materials you find on the island.

Water is not enough. Food is vital for survival. A person can only survive for 3 days without water. There are many places that provide water. You can also harvest rainwater and keep it in containers.

How To

How to Make a Fish Trap That Will Survive

A fishtrap is a device to catch fish. It consists of two parallel bars (the "trays") that form a funnel shape. The water flows into one trap, and then settles on the bottom of first tray. The water level rises as a result. The water level rises, and it eventually falls through the second barrier, allowing the fish to escape.

Fish traps have existed since antiquity and were used originally to catch salmon. They still function, but they can now be used to catch many kinds of freshwater catfish.

You can make your own fish trap if you can access a large enough pond. To line the trap's interior, you will need some type of material. You can also buy an online commercial fish trap kit if you don't have much space. These kits often include everything you will need to make the trap.

Here are some tips to help you build your fish trap.

  • You must ensure that the sides of the trap do not give way to water.
  • Make sure you choose a location that is well-lit so the sun can warm the water.
  • Use a smooth surface like concrete or stone for the bottom of the trap because rough surfaces tend to attract sand and gravel particles.
  • Keep the area around the trap free of debris so that there won't be any obstacles for the fish to get caught in.

Once you have constructed the fish trap you will need to place it at the edge of your pond. It doesn't matter if your fish escape. You can leave the trap alone for a few weeks until they return. It is not necessary to clean the trap, as it should remain moist. If there are any dead fish in the pond, they can be removed later.
