APT 4 LIFE

Water is as important as the air (we all know, right? 45-75 percent of our body is water) Mostly people already know where to get water from and how to treat it. I will add few methods here which might be  less known. From the air (basically producing/collecting water vapor) - Air is almost always carrying water vapor. To collect it one would need a surface which is cooler as the surrounding air, to condense the water. In some cases fine meshes (or any other cold material/powder with a big surface) which can catch the water droplets from the saturated air (keep in mind that this water would also contain most of the dust and chemicals from that air too..) One could create water vapor from the salt water - through evaporation or to get the salts out and apply reverse-osmosis. Water could be extracted from the ground - mostly on the lower end of the hills and mountains (either collecting directly or through evaporation) Some layers of the earth are not letting the water through and a

One can get it through: - Friction (examples: fire strikers, stick and hole, cotton with wood cole,  ) - Compression (examples: fire piston, forged iron) - Concentrating/focusing of sunlight in one  point (examples: using lenses, mirrors ) - Chemical reactions (examples: permanganate and glycerine, oil on rigs and many others which produce enough heat to start a fire . some reactions might expand explosively, stay ready/protected)

Keep it as such, for yourself and your close ones. Only bring people, who you know very well for years, to your home, who you trust, who never left you down and who were there for you even when the situation was bad for everyone. In short only let very good friends access your home. Find other places outside to meet all the rest of people you might cross ways in your life. Home is your life, ideally you have 3 places where you feel safe and well, where you feel home. Ideally those places are shared between proximity to water, high ground and good, rich earth (i.e. forests or other areas rich of life) Ideally you manage to rotate your base between those 3 places over a calendar year. the 4th ,and the strongest, home is inside you, protect it well, you need to be able to feel weel inside yourself and need to be able to create a home base on your own, without help, no matter where life might bring you to.

Think about what you really need in your life. Think about what skills it requires to get what you need or wish to achieve. Aquire those skills and be patient practicing them. At first,  learn how to do it well, then increase speed. Often you will find that all you need is a shelter, a capability to create fire/heat and a capability to get enough water, along with balanced food. Add a couple of good friends to it and you are set, you would normally realize that you actually are happy. Make sure you carry a minimal set of those tools, which you need to create the minimal of the above, at all times. (I will add a short list of what I figured out at some point) Keep in mind, one of your most useful instruments is your body (aside of the brain :)) Excercise with it every day, minimum 3 different muscle groups every morning, it sounds heavier as it actually is and will take you only 15-20 minutes every morning but it will give you much more in return.

Humans are lazy by nature, this is coming from the animal world and serves to save the energy where possible. Only difference to the pure nature is that humans are not obliged anymore to do a lot of work to cover their basic needs.. The result is that we find ourselves very often telling "I think its enough work I invested in that" and mostly this decision is not based on how good that works quality is related to the average level of quality but instead by the value we imagine our time is worth against the value of the same time we xould do something nice and relaxing :) Well unfortunately the approach from above  is mostly wrong... It pays itself off through time to do things with the highest level of quality from the start because you eliminate the need of re-doing the same work again later in time and, in the same time, increasing the level of your skills so that next time you would require less time to reach that quality, just do it, you will see yourself at some point, i

Basically its about being with your mind where you are with your body. Realising with all your senses what is happening around you right now and then only move to the next step. Once you reach that happening at all times you can start assigning some thoughts/ressources to think through the next steps in advance. It sounds and is easy but requires a lot of focusing, self-awareness and concentration at the beginning.

Language means troubles, any language you can imagine involves coding and decoding of information, that means interpretation sets are required to achieve coding and decoding of the language and that means that there is a lot of free room for mistakes which, in turn, is leading to communication issues and misunderstandings. As quicker coding and decoding is happening  as more free room there is for miss-interpretation. Choose what words you use wisely, take your time to build you phrases and then only speak. Make sure you know what you are talking about at all times. Swearing and slang are one of the biggest mistakes you can do in your life and are leaving huge areas for miss-interpretation. They also are placing you and your life closer to the people who apply the same language. Think about it, do you really want to be in there? Probably not.. The language you speak very often decides about the fact who stays around/ follows you in your life.

This one sounds egocentric at the first look but  is actually quite the opposite and is one of the simplest to understand. You need to learn very well and practice, before you can start teaching others. Without knowing exactly how to correctly help yourself there is a high chance that you can cause more damage than do any good to those who are in need of some help. Trying to help someone else before you assured that you are out of danger might bring you in a situation where you not only cant deliver the support to the others but would need help yourself and someone else would need to assign resources to get you and the others out of troubles. This, by all means, doesn't say "do not risk anything". When someone needs help, please go and help, but calculate the risks and make sure you can do it and are able to complete the task, before moving into a situation. Unfortunately there are too many teachers without good knowledge base..

Any lie is bad, no matter how small as there are no ways to predict how "small" it will stay, or what else it will affect in your life and the life's of others. One is certain, any lie will cause something bad, some immediately, some later in time, but it will always happen, no matter how much you will try to avoid the consequences. Its so bad that it might stretch its negative echo through generations.. In short, don't let them get inside your life in a first place, never. If you see any lie is getting in your life from the outside => clear it. There is only one situation I could imagine where a temporary lie would make sense, its when a lie can save a life, or multiple life's. But even in this case one should clear it as soon as only possible. Make sure others can't lie to you too, no matter which from which position, relation or for which reason.
