I have my boreal survival instructor certification, and even I got in a jam once. I blew the clutch on my dirt bike way off in the backwoods, alone (first mistake, being alone). It started to get dark, then started to rain, then started to snow. I used some steel wool that I keep for polishing sap off my rims, a piece of cloth I keep to wipe the bike seat down if it rains. I needed fire, and I needed heat to survive the night. I dipped the cloth in the gas tank, then put the steel wool on the bike's battery, which actually lights the steel wool. Used that to light the gas-soaked cloth on fire, and it was enough to allow me to begin burning branches. Keep in mind the bike engine still ran, just didn't drive, so I had heat from the engine as well as from the fire, and I used pine limbs to make a bit of a shelter hanging off the bike to stay dry. I was found the next day, alive (obviously, it is hard to type when dead), but unhappy and starting to show signs of hypothermia. I went to the hospital as was mandated by forestry SAR, I spent a night there, missed a day of work, aaaaaannd... subsequently got fired from my job for missing the day... :/ Nice huh?
My husband is a CPR instructor, and it turns out that, funnily enough, in addition to "Stayin Alive" you can also use the song "Another One Bites The Dust" to time out chest compressions.
I once got locked out of a friend's apartment after a night of drinking, it was -40 out, but had snowed recently. I didn't have my shoes on, and I was inadequately dressed. I started going into hypothermia and was definitely developing frostbite. After calling got an ambulance, I found a nearby snow drift, stuck my feet in it, and moved them around to make some space around them. My thought was that Inuits use igloos, and snow is an insulator. It ended up saving my feet. The paramedics that arrived thought it was ingenious, and although my feet definitely did get frostbite, I greatly reduced the severity.
Another useful tip for using tampons out in the middle of nowhere is the fact that they and menstrual pads are very useful at staunching bleeding. In fact that's what they were invented for to begin with.
My dog cut his leg badly (we have no idea how he did it, he was on his sofa), and we obviously needed to cover it up to get him to the vet. Fortunately, one of my daughters had left some pads here for when she comes home. Ordinary bandages weren't helping, so I grabbed a pad, placed the top side over the wound, took the strip off the sticky line and wrapped it around the leg. Then I covered that over with the pad's plastic wrapper and we were able to get him in the car. The vet was impressed!
I love how this morning before this clip even came out. I just heard Rogan say from his most recent podcast that Fritos are good fire starter and now here you are telling me about potato chips lmao
Life hacks 3, 2, and 1 rang a bell with me. 3: I was second loader on a 40 mm cannon during the Vietnam War. We were taught to keep our mouths open to equalize the pressure on our eardrums, but we were also taught to shout at the moment of firing, for the same reason. 2: My younger brother and I were once lost in the mountains. We headed downward, looking and listening for moving water. A trickle from a rock became a stream that ended at a creek only 20 yards from our campsite. An emergency that could have been terrifying turned out to be fun. 1: Navy trousers had bellbottoms to make it easier to remove in an emergency. You neglected to mention that you must tie a knot in the ends of the legs to keep air trapped in them, and you must wave the pants over your head to capture air. The legs make great water wings.
@list25 The Not eating the Snow, Using your Pants as a flotation device, and the unlubricated condom for a water jug I learned in scouting throught my late Brother. I taught him the trick about the tampon. Another hack we both learned is if you have some plain steel wool and a 9 volt battery, you can start a fire to stay warm.
Knowing this allowed my dad to call an ambulance when he'd fallen and couldn't make it to the main landline phone in the other room. He was able to crawl to the other side of the room he was in, grabbed his cell phone that he didn't keep a plan on and dialed 911. I had told him to always keep it nearby for just this purpose. This allowed him to call 911 and our family was able to say "Good-bye" to him before he passed a week later. Had he not known this, we might not have gotten that chance. I'm also Ex-Navy. In boot camp we had to do the Pants thing in the pool, let me tell you, it is NOT easy!! You have to first be able to tread water, then you need to be able to have enough upper body strength to be able to cup air in your wet pants, which are now heavier than you might think!
the "bystander effect" is also known as "diffusion of responsibility" where each person witnessing an event feels a proportional responsibility to get involved.... the more people who are around, the worse off you may be if you need assistance
When I was small I was building a sand castle, more like a sand fort, with my brother and cousin. All of a sudden, I was grabbed, I also saw my brother and cousin being grabbed. Then there was a BOAT in the middle of our construction project! Another time, at the same beach, but I was a lot older, and I was body surfing. Except I got under the breaker and the wave came down on me. Now, unlike a lot of the kids on that beach, I knew how to swim. Our mother made a point of our learning to do so. So, I didn't panic. When it slammed me into the sand, I drove both hands in, so when it retreated it wouldn't take me. I then started crawling up the shore. When the wave retreated there was a life guard. He asked if I were okay and I didn't know what the problem was, I was fine!
They actually encourage people to keep older deactivated (pre-smartphone) cellphones in an emergency kit for calling 911. The older phones are small enough to toss anywhere and they hold a charge for a lot longer. I think they actually sell a phone that will ONLY call 911, and it’s powered by a AA battery
I've been in a few life or death situations but the scariest for me and I still have PSTD is from being dragged out of my house by firefighters after collapsing just before I got outside. I survived because my cat woke me up and I was able to call 911 to get help but I lost my beautiful cats in that fire.
@@Lily_of_the_Forest thank you for taking the time to read my comment and reply it really means a lot to me and is appreciated. Its not much but it's my way of honoring my best furry friend that was with me over 10 years by telling her story
Great insights! Below are the key points summarized using ChatWithPDF: ⚡ Hair raising hack: Your hair rising can signal lightning nearby, a warning sign to take cover. 🐻 Bear attack survival: Stay calm and lie face down with spread legs during a bear encounter to reduce chances of being flipped over. 🎵 CPR songs: Use songs like "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees to maintain the correct rhythm during CPR. 😷 Breathing with bras: Cut a bra cup and use it as a makeshift face mask in polluted environments. ❄ Snow consumption caution: Avoid eating snow directly as it consumes energy and can leave you dehydrated; melt it first. 🐍 Venom suckers: Avoid sucking snake venom from a bite as it can lead to more harm than good, causing infection risks. 💣 Explosive mouth facts: Opening your mouth before an explosion can help equalize pressure levels for safety. ⛰ Downhill direction: If lost, head downhill for a higher chance of finding civilization near water sources. 👖 Pants flotation device: Remove your pants underwater and turn them into a flotation device by filling them with air and tying them around your neck.
Regarding the condom holding water: I was in a co-ed division of the Boy Scouts called the Explorers Club in high school. We were all asked to bring a three pack of unlubricated condoms for our weekend camping trip. My Mother freaked out when I told her I needed to bring condoms that weekend. She called the leader who explained (as I did) that they were NOT expecting us to use them "with each other" but to teach us how to collect water in them as a survival technique. (Sorry that was SO long)
#8 about bears See brown, lie down See black, fight back See white, night night. No escape from a polar bear my friends, but this will help for other bears
I was in the eye of category 5 hurricane Maria and I dragged a 300 lb water-logged futon mattress into the bathtub and held it over my head. Sure my nails were breaking as the wind tore off the roof but it protected my head from the beam that crashed on it .. just in case you're ever in a similar situation. Bathroom, heavy futon😅
A black bear is rarely real trouble for a human. If you see a black bear cub, act as if you don't see it and have an important appointment in the other direction. A grizzly bear will kill you if you up set it. The thing that most upsets a grizzly bear is you being alive. A polar bear will actively hunt humans. If you are far north in North America you might be beyond the arctic watershed. Don't follow streams down hill in that case. Look for a place where you can get high enough to see into the distance so you can try to look for signs of human activity. An emergency kit with fishing stuff in it is generally not worth the bother. Very few of the places where you could get lost will have fish. Equipment to start a fire is of more use.
Just a strange funny dream I had which is about tornadoes so it's not completely off the wall but I had a dream I was with my mom and we were in her backyard with her stuff and there were there was a tornado and for some reason I was a it was a small tornado and I was able to grab it bring it to the ground and make it go away that was one weird dream when I woke up😮😅
Always loved this channel, but you mislead with one of your topics. You said "no bars? no problem, you can still call 911 if you didn't pay your bill" well, my bill isn't going to affect my bars, and if I have no bars(signal) Im not gonna be able to call anyone.
Bear Rules:. If it's black, attack. If it's Brown, lie down. If it's white, good night. (Side Note:. Not all black bears are black; learn the difference between black and brown bears and which ones you’re likely to encounter)
You CAN actually use regular super glue under certain circumstances and, if it's all you have. Also, I use Anbesol gel (cuz it's thick. the liquid just soaks into the q tip) on small cuts & abrasions. It may sting at first but, its an anaesthetic and an anesthetic & numbs the area
The way to find north you show is wrong as the sun could be starting to set and shadows will come from west same in morning and other times of the day 😢 only works if first shadow is 1/2 hour before noon and second shadow 1/2 hour after noon
Mike with the blade injury you also have to use something to let it still it has not to move until get help and with the venom when you suck it you are on risk to get the venom too I was in a life risk but at home when my dad fall inconscious in the bathroom first I keep calm move him to don't shoke while I was atended by phone by 911 operator. Saddly he died two weeks later but this showed me I can react well with an emergency 🎉😮
If you're confronted by a Polar bear you're done. That's it. They actively stalk humans as prey. You are not fast, tough or crafty enough on some frozen tundra to even think about outsmarting a polar bear. A very big gun is your only defense. With Black bears the trick is noise from the start. What I mean is they'd much rather avoid you so making lots of noise all the time will help you avoid them entirely. Luckily with black bears a good strong bear spray will often suffice even when they're getting closer to check you out. They HATE the stuff; often just a whiff will make most of 'em scoot. I've never been confronted by either one but I spent loads of time in forests as a firefighter in my younger days ( USA so no polar bears 😉)
Your best bet is to put yourself in the most vulnerable position possible to make the experience quickly and get it over with because you are straight up effed lmfao 💀😭😅
Huh...I didn't know explaining myself calmly was considered a tantrum. tan·trum noun an uncontrolled outburst of anger and frustration, typically in a young child.
2:20 not true(in my case at least) years ago i was surrounded by 4 guys+1 girl who tried to rob me and did the hey you how about a little help(he was a guy i was familiar with) he looked at me like f*ck no and just kept on walking.............reasons like that and many more is why i don't believe in others kindness 🤣
