Subterranean Treasure | Primal Survivor

·Nov 11, 2024

These environments can look dry and barren, but they can be useful in a survival situation if you know how to read the landscape. This solid granite gorge has been carved out by water, and just look at the walls; they've been smoothed and polished by millions of years of water raging through here. If I was here during the wrong time and a flash flood came through, this would be a very dangerous place to be.

But right now, more than likely, under all this gravel is water. These walls channel rainwater underground, where a base layer of rock collects it, but I have no way of telling how deep that will be. No water is revealing itself yet; just got to get a little bit deeper here. This is a local method for getting water in emergencies, but sometimes it could mean hours of digging.

I was told to keep an eye out for a predator; the corners prey in this terrain. This gorge is leopard territory. Oh yeah, found water! Deeper than I was hoping, but it's definitely water. Yeah, lots of water!

Okay, it's a little dirty right now. I can let it settle, and it'll be clear in about an hour, but it tastes fine even though it's muddy. I'll fill up the rest of my container. There we go! A lot of success comes from reading the landscape, and this time it worked out.
