# Survival Guide in Python 🏞️🛠️
## Overview
This comprehensive **Survival Guide** equips you with the tools, techniques, and strategies to survive in various challenging scenarios, including wilderness survival, apocalyptic events, world disasters, and grid-down situations. It includes modules for fire-starting, shelter-building, food foraging, water procurement, navigation, and emergency response. The guide is designed to be flexible, allowing users to modify it for their specific survival needs.

## Features
- **Fire Starting Techniques** 🔥
Learn to start a fire using tools and nature-based methods:
- Flint and Steel
- Bow Drill
- Fire Plough
- Solar Ignition
- Natural Tinder (dry leaves, grass, bark)
- Char Cloth and Fungus for fire-starting
- **Shelter Building** 🏕️
Find out how to build shelters using:
- Branches for framework
- Leaves for insulation
- Rocks for protection
- Mud for sealing gaps
- Snow for igloos and snow caves
- Tarp for quick shelter setup
- **Foraging and Hunting** 🍃🐟
Gather food through foraging, trapping, and fishing:
- Berries, edible plants, mushrooms (with caution)
- Small animal traps (e.g., snares, deadfall traps)
- Fishing in rivers, lakes, and streams
- Long-term food storage (drying, smoking, salting)
- **Water Procurement and Purification** 💧
Learn to find and purify water using:
- Streams, rivers, and rainwater collection
- Solar stills, dew collection, and transpiration bags
- Boiling, solar disinfection, chemical purification, filtration
- **Navigation Tools** 🧭
Navigate using:
- Compass
- Sun and Shadows for direction
- Star Navigation (North Star, constellations)
- Moss on trees for natural navigation
- Signaling methods for rescue (smoke signals, reflective surfaces)
- **Apocalyptic Survival Tools** 🛡️
Survive in long-term apocalyptic scenarios with:
- Makeshift weapons (spears, slingshots, Molotov cocktails)
- Fortifying shelters using natural barriers and traps
- Bartering for essential goods (food, water, medicine)
- Creating defensive perimeters with noise-making alarms
- **Using Nature as a Resource** 🌿
Discover how nature can help you survive:
- Tree sap as adhesive and fire starter
- Plant fibers for cordage (ropes, snares, shelter construction)
- Stone tools for cutting and scraping
- Natural insulation (leaves, grass, moss)
- Water extraction from plants (cacti, vines)
- **Emergency Response Strategies** 🚨
Prepare for world events and natural disasters:
- Earthquakes, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and tsunamis
- Grid-down scenarios (prepare bug-out bags, communication plans)
- Pandemic isolation and quarantine techniques
- **Water and Food Rationing** 🥤🍲
Manage your resources using the advanced water and food tracker:
- Track daily consumption of water and food
- Calculate rations based on remaining resources and days left
- Visualize consumption with charts for water and food
- Ration recommendations for specific environments (arctic, desert, rainforest)

### Use the `install_python.bat` to install python 3.11.6
---
## Installation
1. Clone the repository or download the project files:
```
git clone https://github.com/kernferm/survival_guide.git
```
2. **Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):**
```
python -m venv venv
```
3. **Activate the virtual environment:**
- ***On Windows:***
```
venv\Scripts\activate
```
- ***On macOS/Linux***
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
4. **Install the required dependencies:**
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
- or use the `run.bat` to install the dependencies.
## How to Use the Project
1. **Run the Project
- Run the main script to start using the survival tools:
```
python main.py
```
2. **Choose a Module**
Follow the on-screen prompts to select which survival tool you want to explore, whether it's fire-starting, shelter-building, food gathering, or water procurement.
3. **Water and Food Tracking**
Use the water tracker to manage your water and food supplies. You can track your consumption and receive daily ration recommendations based on the days you need to survive:
```
python water_tracker.py
```
4. **Customize the Guide**
You can modify any of the modules to better suit your personal needs or the environment you expect to encounter:
- **Change fire-starting techniques** in `fire_tools.py` to reflect the resources available in your region.
- **New survival strategies** for `arctic`, `desert`, or `rainforest` conditions.
- **New emergency response plans** for specific disasters.
## Water and Food Consumption Tracker
The water and food tracker helps you manage your consumption and rationing during survival situations. After consuming water or food, a pie chart will display the remaining resources. You can also receive daily ration recommendations based on your needs.
### Example Usage:
- Start by setting how much water and food you have available:
```
python water_tracker.py
```
- Visualize water and food consumption with charts to plan your resources better.
## Customizing for Your Needs
You can easily edit the survival guide to best suit your needs. Here’s how:
- **Change Region-Specific Techniques:**
If you're planning for a specific location (e.g., desert survival), edit the files in `survival_tools/` to reflect that environment.
- **Add Your Own Emergency Responses:**
Modify `emergency_response.py` to include disaster preparedness strategies for events more common in your area, such as hurricanes or tornadoes.
- **Modify Water and Food Rationing:**
Update `water_tracker.py` to customize how much water or food is needed for your daily rations, based on personal or family needs.
