If there are snakes or other animals in the cave, they will come out when stones are thrown in. In a word, the type of shelter that you find or canmake depends on the weather and the area’s natural features.A good way of looking for food in the wild is to see what the animals eat. If the food is safe for them, it should be safe for human beings as well. You could consider fishing it there is a lake close by.
