"After last night with strong icy winds, he enjoys a morning of sun and calm weather, observes some mountains in the distance, and heads towards a very dense forest. When he arrives he hears a soft sound, like that of water passing like a stream, he approaches and indeed, a river makes its way between the stones, he approaches to cool off and drink pure water, when he was inclined, he fell into the water."

His strength was weak at this time because he was very thirsty and hungry. The speed of the water road rising from the up to down of the mountain range is very fast, so he had to fall down with the water as soon as he fell into the water. Fortunately, fighting against the current of the water, he was able to grab a branch of a tree that was bent into the water. With the support of the surrounding trees and his own experiences, he gets out of the stream and starts his journey again.

He knew that he would have to face many obstacles in the future as his suitcase fell into the water with him. His flashlight and some electronic devices have been disabled by water. He therefore decided to camp in a plain in the middle of the mountains before dark. An experienced mountaineer, he knew that poisonous snakes and carnivorous predators lurked in this forested mountain range. Preparing his kit, he checked the essentials in his suitcase to see which ones were still functional.

His next challenge was to light a fire to beat the cold and prepare his food before nightfall. He found some pieces of dry wood and tried to light it, but he realized that all the things he had to light it were destroyed due to being wet with water. Then, his experience working to perfection, he took a few pieces of cotton wool and a few sticks of dry wood from his first aid box, and with a small knife he had, he made a small hole in one of the pieces of wood and placed the other piece of wood and the piece of cotton wool on it. He ignited the piece of stuffing in a quick circular motion and made a bonfire with a few pieces of wood.

He made a small drain around his tent and put burnt pieces of charcoal in it because he knows from experience that poisonous animals can approach him at night. Then he will know well that the snakes will not come towards him by passing the sparks.If any predatory animal came before him during the night, he also created a fire torch of a wooden stick from a piece of cloth he had and kept it nearby. Because of the sounds of the animals that were heard from time to time at night, he lit the torch and searched around the tent. Slowly the night passed and the morning dawned. His destination was the top of the mountain.

However, no matter how many obstacles came to him on this journey, he overcame all of them through his own experiences and finally arrived at his destination, the top of the mountain. Having faced many challenges and adventures, he rested on the top of the mountain that night. The next day he again completed his journey safely.
