This chapter covers how to craft essential items in a survival situation.

## Be prepared

### Gear

**Necessities**:
- Knife or multi-tool
- Cordage (paracord)

**Optional**:
- Axe
- Saw
- Metal container with a lid

### Knowledge and skills

Start by learning how to do the following:
- Tie several types of knots.

Once you have mastered these skills, you should learn how to do the following:
- Use wood to make tools, containers, and other items.
- Make cordage, charcoal, and pitch.
- Sharpen tools and knives.
- Construct various crafted items (as covered in this chapter).

## Woodworking

### Cutting wood
In the majority of cases, use fallen wood. If you need to trim the wood to a specific size, break it by hand or foot. To break a larger piece of wood, you can insert it between two live trees at the point you want to break it and push it to the side until it snaps.

A saw or axe can also be used to cut wood. Be sure to cut away from your body and use proper technique.

### Stop cuts
Stop cuts are used to prevent wood from splitting when you are cutting it. To make a stop cut, make a small cut perpendicular to the grain of the wood where you want to stop the cut. This cut should be about 1/3 of the way through the wood. You can baton the knife to form a stop cut.

### Batoning wood
Batoning is the process of using a knife to split wood. To baton wood, place the knife on the wood where you want to split it and hit the back of the knife with a piece of wood. Be sure to use a knife with a full tang and a fixed blade.

## Sharpening
If you find a smooth rock, you can use it to sharpen your knife or axe. Preferably the rock will be small enough to hold in your hand. To sharpen your tool, rub the rock in a circular motion along the edge of the blade. Be sure to match the angle of the blade when sharpening.

## Knives

### Bone knife

**Resources**
- Large bone
- Rock with a coarse surface

**Instructions**
1. Break off a large shard of the bone. You can do this by hitting the bone with a rock. You may want to use a sharp rock to make a groove in the bone that is the shape you want the knife to be prior to breaking it.
2. Grind an edge onto the shard using a rock with a coarse surface.

### Stone knife

**Resources**
- Flint, chert, or obsidian
- A second rock

**Instructions**

Break off a shard of the flint/chert/obsidian by hitting the edge with another rock using a glancing blow. This shard will likely have a sharp edge, if it does not, break off another shard and try again.

## Compasses

**Resources**
- Needle
- Knife
- Leaf or bottle cap
- Water

**Instructions**
1. Magnetize the needle by stroking it with the knife in one direction (to avoid dulling the blade, use the back of the knife). Stroke at least 50 times.
2. Place the needle on the leaf/cap and float it in water. The needle will slowly align to the north-south axis. Ensure there are no currents or wind that could affect the needle.

## Fishhooks
- **Wooden hooks**: Cut a piece of hardwood, put a notch in one end and secure a sharp object into the notch using cordage.
- **Gorge hooks**: Carve a piece of wood or bone into the shape shown in the picture below. Tie a line to the middle of the hook and place into bait. When the fish swallows the bait, the hook will lodge in its throat - you do not need to pull the line to set the hook.
- **Other hooks**: You can use metal wire or thorns as hooks. See the picture below.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/47.webp)

## Tongs

**Resources**
- Green wood

**Instructions**
1. Cut a length of green wood.
2. Split the wood down the middle to create a flat surface.
3. Optionally, carve a small notch in the center of the stick to allow it to bend more easily.
4. Bend the wood in half to create tongs.

## Bowls
Bowls can be used for cooking, eating, and storing food.

**Resources**
- A small log (not decayed)
- Hot coals

**Instructions**
1. Cut or obtain a small log.
2. Using makeshift tongs, place hot coals into the log.
3. Let the coals burn out.
4. Scrape out the charred wood with a stick or rock.
5. Repeat the process until you have a bowl.

## Charcoal
Charcoal is made by burning wood in a low-oxygen environment. It can be used for filtering water, making pitch, medicine, and as fuel for fires. You can grind charcoal into powder by placing it in a container and crushing it with a stick or rock.

### Container method

**Resources**
- Wood
- Metal container with a lid

**Instructions**
1. Fill a metal container with wood.
2. Cover the container with a lid, ensuring there is a small gap or hole in the lid.
3. Place the container on a fire, smoke will come out of the hole.
4. When the smoke stops, remove the container from the fire and let it cool. For best results, flip the container upside down or cover the hole.

### Extinguishing method

**Resources**
- Wood
- Water or dirt

**Instructions**
1. Burn a fire down to coals.
2. Douse the fire with water or dirt to quickly extinguish it.
3. Wait for the coals to cool, there should be some charcoal among the ashes.

## Pitch (glue)
Pitch is a natural glue made from tree resin. It can be used to repair tools, make waterproof containers, and as a fire starter.

**Resources**
- 2 parts tree resin (pine, spruce, or fir), preferably hardened chunks
- 1 part ground charcoal
- 1 part ground organic material (dried bark/leaves, sawdust, deer/moose droppings, animal fat, or wax)
- Container or a rock with a depression
- Stick or bone for stirring

**Instructions**
1. Melt the resin in a container over a fire. Be careful not to burn it.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in the charcoal and organic material.
4. You can either let it cool in the container or continue to step 5.
5. Dip the end of a stick into the pitch to coat it.
6. Remove the stick and let the pitch cool, ensuring it forms an even coat.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have a thick layer of pitch on the stick, it should look like a large matchstick.

**Usage**
1. Melt the pitch in a container over a fire.
2. Apply the pitch to the object you want to repair, as you would with glue.
3. Let the pitch cool and harden.

## Cordage

### Twine
Twine is made by twisting fibers together. It is weaker than rope but can be used for sewing, fishing line, or light-duty cordage.

**Resources**

Any fibrous material can be used to make cordage. Some examples include:
- Grasses and sedges (sedges are stronger)
- Bark or palm fiber

**Instructions**
1. Gather the fibers into a loose bundle.
2. Hold the bundle near the center and twist one side clockwise until a kink forms.
3. Fold the bundle in half at the kink.
4. Twist the top half clockwise.
5. Twist the two halves together counterclockwise.
6. Repeat the process until you have a full strand. If a material is running out, add more material to it and twist it in.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/139.webp)

### Rope
Rope is made by braiding multiple strands of twine together. It is stronger than twine and can be used for heavier tasks.

**Resources**
- 3 or more strands of twine
- A small strand, tape, or pitch

**Instructions**
1. Lay the strands parallel to each other.
2. Cross the right strand over the center strand and under the left strand.
3. Repeat the process with the new rightmost strand.
4. Once you reach the ends, you can whip the ends or coat them with pitch to prevent unraveling. See the knots section for more information on whipping.
5. You can repeat this process using ropes instead of twine to make even stronger rope.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/140.webp)

## Knots

### Overhand knot
Used to prevent the end of a rope from untwisting.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/120.webp)

### Round turn and two half hitches
Used to anchor rope to a pole or tree.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/121.webp)

### Figure-eight knot
Used to form a larger knot than would be formed by an overhand knot at the end of a rope.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/122.webp)

### Square knot
Used for tying two ropes of equal diameter together. Be sure to tie a true square knot to prevent slipping, if you reverse the procedure, the knot will slip under strain.

Untie by grasping the bends of the two bights and pulling the knot apart.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/123.webp)

### Single sheet bend
Used for tying two ropes of unequal diameter together. This knot will draw tight under light loads but may loosen or slip when the tension is released.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/124.webp)

### Double sheet bend
Used for tying two ropes of unequal diameter together. This knot will not slip or draw tight under heavy loads.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/125.webp)

### Bowline
Useful for forming a loop in the end of a rope.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/126.webp)

### Bowline on a bight
Useful for forming a loop at some point in a rope other than at the end.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/127.webp)

### French bowline
Used as a sling for lifting people. If used in this manner, one loop is used around the body under the arms.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/128.webp)

### Two half hitches
Used to tie a rope to a timber or pole. The single half hitch is not very secure without load, so use an overhand or the two half hitches instead.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/130.webp)

### Timber hitch
Used for moving heavy timbers or poles. You can make a tighter hold on heavy poles for lifting or dragging by combining a timber hitch and half hitch.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/131.webp)

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/132.webp)

### Clove hitch
Used to fasten a rope to a timber, pipe, or post. It can be tied at any point in a rope.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/133.webp)

### Sheepshank
Used to shorten a rope or take the load off a weak spot in the rope.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/134.webp)

### Prussic
Used to tie a short rope around a longer rope in such a manner that the short rope will slide on the other rope if no tension is applied, and will hold if tension is applied on the short rope.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/135.webp)

### Trucker's hitch
Used to secure a load or tighten a line.

![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/truckers_hitch.webp)

### Square lashing
Used to secure one pole at a right angle to another pole. Can swap with the diagonal lashing if desired.

The Weather tool can be used to roughly predict the weather.

## Weather prediction
The weather prediction appears at the top of your screen. This does not use the Internet and factors in pressure history, historical (30-year average) temperatures, and the clouds from the Clouds tool. It also attempts to estimate when the weather change will occur, displayed beneath the prediction. The accuracy of the time frame depends on if the clouds indicate a weather front; if it's detected, an approximate time will be displayed, otherwise, it's more vague, like "soon" or "later."

If the weather monitor is on, it records pressure history automatically. Otherwise, pressure updates only occur when you open the Weather tool. For accuracy, it's best to record pressure every 30 minutes.

You can adjust prediction sensitivity in Settings > Weather > Forecast sensitivity. Higher sensitivity may detect more patterns but might yield more false predictions.

## Weather monitor
The weather monitor runs in the background to record pressure history. Enable it by clicking the start icon at the bottom-right. This causes a notification to appear with the current prediction and an option to stop the weather monitor. You can also stop it by clicking the stop icon in the bottom-right.

To change the recording frequency, click the time under the weather monitor label at the bottom left and enter a new interval.

For better accuracy, grant Trail Sense Location permission to determine your elevation via GPS. This helps convert pressure to sea level pressure, improving prediction accuracy.

In Settings > Weather, you can customize the notification to show:
- **Pressure**: Displays the current pressure.
- **Temperature**: Displays the current temperature (refer to Thermometer guide for details).

You can also enable daily weather notifications in Settings > Weather > Daily weather notification. Without the weather monitor being active, you won't receive these notifications. The timing of this notification is configurable in Settings > Weather > Daily weather time.

You can disable weather monitor notifications in Android's notification settings for Trail Sense.

## Storm alert
If the weather monitor is active, Trail Sense can notify you of storms. Enable this in Settings > Weather > Storm alert. You can adjust the sensitivity in Settings > Weather > Storm sensitivity. Higher sensitivity might trigger false alerts, while lower sensitivity could miss some storms.

## Weather details
The Weather tool also provides more information about the current and predicted weather.

### Alerts
The Weather tool displays alerts when a storm is detected or historical temperatures suggest hot or cold conditions.

### Pressure
A pressure history chart is displayed at the top of the screen. Falling pressure may indicate an incoming storm, rising pressure suggests clearing weather, and steady pressure indicates no significant changes. The current pressure and its tendency (change over time) are listed below the chart.

The current pressure system is also displayed. Low pressure often means poor weather, while high pressure indicates fair conditions. Clicking on it provides a description of the pressure system.

You can change the history duration in Settings > Weather > "Pressure history".

### Temperature
The current temperature, sourced from historical data or the onboard thermometer, is shown in the weather list. Daily high/low temperatures are also provided using historical data. Clicking on the current temperature reveals a temperature history chart, while clicking on high/low temperatures displays a 24-hour temperature prediction chart based on historical temperatures.

### Humidity
If your device has a humidity sensor, the current humidity is displayed. Clicking on it reveals a humidity history chart.

### Clouds
The last logged cloud type appears in the weather list. Clicking on it provides a description of the cloud type.

### Weather front
The current weather front is displayed in the weather list. Fronts typically indicate weather changes and are often associated with precipitation and wind. Clicking on it provides a description of the weather front.

## Exporting weather data
You can export the recorded weather data to a CSV file with Settings > Weather > Export weather records.

## Quick action
You can enable the Weather Monitor quick action in the settings for the tab you want it on.

To use the quick action, tap the Weather Monitor quick action button to toggle it on or off.

## Accuracy
The weather prediction is a best guess using available sensor data and may not be accurate. If Trail Sense says it is going to be clear but you see what appears to be storm clouds rolling in, trust your instincts - sometimes storms roll in with gradual changes in pressure. Seek shelter if you sense a storm approaching, regardless of Trail Sense's prediction.

Climate normals (historic temperatures) are based on the 30-year average of the historic data and indicate what the weather usually is. The actual values may differ for a variety of reasons but should remain fairly close to the historic values. Large differences are normally due to a storm or other weather event.

Historic temperatures are estimated using a custom 30-year "climate normal" model derived from the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office - MERRA-2 data (1991 - 2020).

The Water Boil Timer tool helps you determine the necessary boiling time to make water safe for drinking, taking into account your current elevation since boiling time varies with elevation.

## Making water safe to drink
To ensure water is safe for consumption, you must first filter and then boil it. Please note that filtering and boiling will not render polluted water safe to drink. Follow these steps to make water potable:

1. Filter the water into a metal container.
2. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
3. Click the 'Start' button once the water reaches a rolling boil.
4. Your water is likely safe to drink when the timer expires.

By default, the timer utilizes your current elevation to calculate the required boiling time. Alternatively, you can manually select either a 1-minute or 3-minute duration using the buttons located at the bottom of the screen.

## Disclaimer
This tool uses recommendations from health organizations, but if done incorrectly or if the water is polluted you could still get sick. Use at your own risk.

The Turn Back tool can be used to alert you when to turn back on a hike to return at a specific time.

## Return time
You can set the return time by clicking the input field and selecting a time from the time picker. The return time is the time that you want to return back to your current location if you start the hike now.

Once the return time has been set, an alert will be displayed a little before halfway through the hike to remind you to turn back if you want to return on time. The time until the turn back time is displayed at the top of the screen.

### Return before dark
If you click the "Return before dark" button, the return time will be set to sunset. This is useful if you want to make sure you return before it gets dark.

## Cancel the alert
You can cancel the alert by clicking the "Cancel" button at the bottom of the screen. This will clear the return time and the alert.

The Triangulate Location tool can be used to determine the coordinates of a location using two known locations. This can be used to either determine your location if the GPS is not working, or to determine the coordinates of a location in the distance.

## Determine your location
If your GPS is not working and you want to determine your current location, you will first need to see two known locations. Ideally, these locations are at least 60 degrees apart for the best accuracy. The locations can be beacons or you can determine them using a map. For a guide on how to get the coordinates of a location from a map, see the 'Photo Maps' guide in the 'Calibrating from the Map Grid' section. Once you have the coordinates of the two known locations, you can use the following steps to determine your location:

1. Select 'My location' as the location to triangulate.
2. Enter the coordinates for the first known location and record the direction from where you are to that location as Location 1. You can click the camera icon on the right side of the direction field to sight the location using the camera.
3. Repeat for Location 2 using the second known location.
4. If your location can be determined, it will be displayed at the top of the screen.

## Determine a destination's location
If you are able to see a destination from multiple locations, you can use the Triangulate Location tool to determine the coordinates of the destination.

1. Select 'Destination' as the location to triangulate.
2. Record your location and record the direction from where you are to that location as Location 1. You can tap the GPS icon next to the location field to use your current location. You can click the camera icon on the right side of the direction field to sight the location using the camera.
3. Move to a new location that's at least 30 m / 100 ft from the first location and repeat for Location 2. You can put away your phone while you move; the tool will save what you entered.
5. If the destination can be determined, it will be displayed at the top of the screen.

## Triangulation map
As you enter locations, the map at the top of the screen will update to show the intersection of the two lines. You can use this to verify that the locations you entered are correct. The map always has North at the top.

## Share options
Once you triangulate a location, you have several options:

- **Beacon**: Create a beacon at the triangulated location. This will open the Beacons tool. For more information on beacons, see the 'Beacons' guide.
- **Navigate**: Navigate to the triangulated location. This will open the Navigation tool. For more information on navigation, see the 'Navigation' guide.
- **Share...**: Share the triangulated location. This will open the share menu, where you can copy the coordinates, share as a QR code, open in a map app, or share with another app (e.g. a text message).

## Reset
You can reset the tool by clicking the reset button at the bottom of the screen.
