9. A simple way to cook a bird in the forest: gutting, salt and stuff the bird with herbs. Then we smear with clay and bury it under a fire. Between clay and poultry you can also put burdock. In this way, you can also cook fish.

Thus you can make an impromptu smokehouse. Willow and alder come out of firewood. Cook for about 2 hours, but it is better to control the process.

Then add pieces of willow, alder or birch bark to the bucket, boil for another 20 minutes. After all these operations, water should be allowed to cool and the branches and bark removed from the bucket, then you can drink water;
- Another option: let water through a makeshift filter consisting of sand, then charcoal and then gravel. Then boil the water for about 15 minutes;
- A 5% iodine solution can also help, you need to add 2-5 drops per liter of water, after which let the water settle for half an hour, then you can drink it.
