Can I Survive in the Rainforest? (point)

The forest is survivable. No matter how small you are, how skinny, it doesn't matter. You only need a brain and observation skills, which you already have as a baby. With these, you can find food, water, and build a shelter, which is all you need to survive. Let's look the the book "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", the main character got stranded on an island, and he survived, and even got a pet goat and parrot. So, what are rainforests? Rainforests are places with many trees and are also a good habitat for many different animals. It is split into different layers, and each differs and supports many different animals. It is located in the tropics, where it is not too hot or cold, just enough to survive.


When it comes to survival, the most essential things are getting food to eliminate hunger and water for hydration. You can get water from a stream, if you want it to be clean, find a hollowed piece of wood. Then stones in it, first large ones, then tiny ones, to large ones again, to filter out the sand and gravel. For food, try to get food you actually know, like bananas. Apples and oranges have similar poisonous fruits. Also, avoid getting colorful food, as it might mean it is poisonous. If you think you have food poisoning, just drink a lot of water, sleep well and more and avoid moving too much. 


When you are stranded in a rainforest, shelter is the most necessary thing you have to make for yourself for extra protection. Shelter is important for protection; it can block rain and protect you from falling acorns, seeds, or pinecones. But, you might be wondering, how do I build a shelter? First search. If you are lucky enough to find a cave to live in, you are all set. If you really can't find a cave, then build a shelter! First, you will need sticks and leaves. Find two trees next to each other and fit the stick in the middle to make a roof. Then do it a few more times and put the leaves on top, there, done.


Simulating and socializing with animals can help keep our social skills by interacting and bonding with animals who won’t run away and improving our ability to speak a certain language and even keep our patience up, to avoid loneliness and find happiness in our new life in a rainforest. We need to have company, we will first lose patience. Then we can’t hold around doing nothing, and after that we will go crazy if we don't get company. We can start by getting something to do, and the best thing to do is to speak to yourself. Think about what happened leading you to the forest. Then, after you know the forest better, you can start to interact with animals, by petting a squirrel, if it doesn't run away, or pretending any animal is a person and you are trying to tell the person something. 


When you think about the rainforest, you think about how peaceful it is there, with all the birds and animals; it is a paradise. Of course, many people will think the same, but when you are there, you won't think the same anymore. The rainforest is dangerous, but you can survive if you are smart about it. You won't know how to survive, but what if I told you what you need to survive is right there before you? And you can do more than you can at home. There is water everywhere, and they just follow animals like monkeys for food. Then you can build your shelter, or more of a roof, out of sticks and leaves. If you stay like this, you will lose patience, so interacting with other living things is a good way to bond and get into a relationship. In conclusion, you can survive the rainforest, no matter if you are alone, start with nothing, it is still possible, and you will most likely survive.
