Nice seeing you mention the emergency battery flares from your vehicle.ive got six of them in my vehicle and love them.

@greggmouritzen7478 Год назад

Mirror tip: Put your thumb near your target, then flash the reflected light over it, angling it towards the target. As long as your thumb is not actually over the target, it should be able to see your light.

@ndroidrage Год назад

Make a v with index and middle finger . Line target with between v. Flash. Up down. 3 times pause. 3 times pause

I have used my Garmin Inreach Mini for an SOS when I was run off the road in my Landcruiser and rolled down a ravine 8 times. It is VERY situational. Bad weather and being in a valley of sorts, I didn't get signal. Lucky for me I had a friend in his Landcruiser in front of me and he came back, thought I was a dead and then he went and got help. It took 45 minutes to get a signal and that was when I was being driven to hospital. The best thing you can do is let someone know where you're going and what time you're expected to be back.

With the trouser buoyancy aid, it is important to keep the trouser legs wet. Obviously, the part of the legs that is touching the water will stay wet, but the top side usually sits out of the water and can dry out. By keeping them wet, you lengthen how long the buoyancy aid lasts before you need to refill it.

@condor1961 Год назад

Another great video Mike, alot of people would panic and not know what to do. The video was very informative and interesting. Well done Mike!! 👍

@jestr102763 Год назад

Awesome video. As always love the content you put out. As for any input if wanted. First and foremost ALWAYS notify someone anyone of your travels of departure and return dates/ times cause otherwise there will be NO search and rescue till weeks after it’s too late. And for the mirror. Great source of id, best way to use a mirror peep hole or not is to keep the mirror by your face and extend your other hand with the pointer and middle finger around the target you want to hit (plane, hele, boat) and use the mirror to shine the light on your hand/ target. It’s easier to see reflected light hitting your hand which is surrounding your target which in turn shines light on your target. I know I suck at explaining things but hope it helps.

@verdeyenbart Год назад

Some great tips there, and as a former emergency rescue paramedic, I wish all people would go out this prepared :D A small addition: even if you seem to have no reception on your cell phone, still try to call emergency services. Modern phones are programmed to send out a stronger signal than they normally allowed when emergency numbers are dialed. Also, if you don't have a gps on you, there are free apps available that can be used to dial emergency systems. Upon doing so, these apps also rely information such as your location data, any pre-entered medical information (blood type, useful medical data, ...), ... and can jumpstart a rescue attempt.

My family makes fun of me for stocking my car with emergency foil blankets and rain ponchos…until we got stuck in torrential down pour at an outdoor event. The foil blankets were great protection against the rain/wind. I bought some battery powered road side flares (flashing disc like devices) that I keep in my glove box.

@nielsstrandskov6705 Год назад

I've been watching some documentaries about people lost in the wilderness, and in almost every case, if people had just stopped where they were when they realized they were lost or in distress, they would have been found alive. Remember S.T.O.P -- Stop Think Observe Plan. It's a good rubric for a lot of things in life, but especially for staying alive long enough to be found.

DD hammocks have a “sunset orange” colour option on its tarps. I think it goes from 2x2.9 m to 5x5 m tarps.

This happened to me during a 1 night camp where I had to leave in 4 am as my body temperature was getting to cold and I started showing symptoms of hyperthermia, luckily this was only in my garden in the wooded area. I am fine bow it only took about 1 hour to get my temperature back up

@tarnafiti8212 Год назад

Nice story haha, Once I told people about this big camping trip I did during lockdown. Listing all the things I did, made a fire, even how I found a tap, didn't tell them it was in my backyard until the end haha. Also just so you know, Hyperthermia is when you are too hot. Hypothermia is cold. (Hypo low, hyper high)

Forgotten was a dedicated strobe light. ACR include one when you buy their EBIRB. We sometimes use them when we are hunting away from camp but in the bush where we have to cross several creeks to get back to camp. Hang in a tree and their reflection can be seen from a fair distance. In an emergency you set on off at night and just leave it on. I carry one with me all the time when hunting.

You can also mark your trail with old tshirts. I would recommend bright colors or white. You can put a glow stick on them in case it’s getting dark this way if you have a night rescue they can find a trail.

@MikeWood Год назад

Solid tips here. I have some of that reflective luminescent paracord. More for lines on a tent to not trip over them, but the idea of zipper pulls is one that I hadn't considered. Put them on the tent door and vent zippers too. 👍 Edit: I also carry a 1mx1m bright orange nylon signal panel. I put grommets on each corner so it can be pegged down, clipped to your ruck, or used as a flag. It weighs nothing and packs in a small zip loc bag.

@TheSaneHatter Год назад

If you like the zipper-pull method of carrying paracord, there are reams of resources on how to to tie them, often quite creatively. There are even videos here on RU-vid, with one called "The Weavers of Eternity" that I can recommend pretty highly.

If I'm in trouble, I'll use the app, get my location but then change the voice mail message on my phone..."I need help... *insert type of problem*..This is my location with what 3 words" Ideally, turn your phone off. When someone calls you, it goes straight to voicemail 👍

@michaelernst3731 Год назад

Very good advice for people to know. IF you have acorns near by you can use the lid as a whistle. Make TWO fists touch the Fingernail digits together. TOUCH the TOP joints of your Thumbs together. The Thumbnail Joints at a 45 Degree angle. Place the Acorn Lid under your Thumbs with a small amount of the Lid showing. Place your LIPS on the Thumb Knuckle Joint and Tilt your Hands about 45 Degrees and Blow into the Lid. This works best with Acorn Lids that have no damage to the rims of the lids. On a large sized lid you can get 120 - 130 db whistle that can be heard up 1 mile or about 2 km away.

Hey ground search and rescue in Canada here these options are viable but always have a plan tell someone you know where your going and what time you will be back. If you are lost stay put and hug a tree if near a clearing if possible have a whistle on your person at all times wear bright colours, and stay calm

@JohnSmith-gs4lw Год назад

One additional note on dialing emergency services with the iPhone. Depending on how you have that configured in settings, it will also initiate that 911/999 call if you hold down the power button and one of the volume buttons. It will delay this for a few seconds, and give you plenty of warning about what it is about to do. This is important for other scenarios where you don’t want to look at your phone or want to dial discretely, like during an active shooter situation or while driving. You can focus on other things (run, hide, fight) and let your phone do its thing. It is very tactile because you are just squeezing the phone between two fingers. Also worth noting, the iPhone 14 has satellite SOS built in. So if you are out of cellular/mobile coverage, it can still send out an emergency beacon via satellite.

@dancurtis5981 Год назад

On mobile phones - in the UK 999 is the standard emergency number. However 911 will also work. This is because a lot of tourists dial 911 in a panic. 112 is also an emergency number in the UK and EU. Even if you have no service and need help try phoning 999. Just because your handset shows no service that doesn’t mean it’s true. Normally you only get coverage from your provider, this is what your phone shows you. however for a 999 call your phone can latch on to any provider’s network. Further in this day and age it can even latch onto some satellite signals! This does cause some technical problems for emergency services so know your location.

@becky2235 Год назад

Few questions I have a new android phone and the volume trick to call emergency services (could be handy in urban survival too if attacked and attacker seeing a phone would escalate things) but it doesn't seem to work any ideas can you change this in settings? How can you tread water with no arms? Sorry for noob question I'm not the strongest swimmer I've tried in the pool but to no avail. Only thing with mylar blankets is it's near impossible to fold them back up small enough to pack back into the packet Thank you!

@rumblechick73 Год назад

The secret to staying floating is to not tread water, relax onto your back with your arms and legs splayed out a bit and your head tilted back. Your body will sink a bit but don't panic, for a second or two your face might submerge but as long as you keep your head tilted back you will pretty much be able to keep your face out of the water so you can breathe. Take deep breaths to keep your lungs inflated and you will stay floating.

@rougenarwhal8378 Год назад

you gotta run the fine line of being visible to people who aren't neccesarily looking for you, but invisible enough to deceive wild carnivores that ARE looking for you

@crazydave1 Год назад

Not true. The majority of predators will be warded off by bright colors that allow them to see you easily. Think about it like this: If you could choose between 2 meals, would you choose a food you've never had before, or one you have all the time. Most wild animals are not familiar with humans so they choose to avoid them. The bright colors are deterrents if anything, especially due to the fact that there are not many brightly colored reflective items out in nature.

@crazydave1 Год назад

In addition, when most human x animal interactions occur, it's most often due to a human crossing paths with the animal, and not because said animal was actively trying to go closer
