Survive, surviveSurvival involved many aspects. The following were some of the key points:
** 1. Basic Survival Rules **
1. ** Three Rules of Survival **
- A person could go without breathing for up to three minutes, so in a dangerous environment, it was necessary to ensure that the breathing passageway was unobstructed to avoid suffocation.
- When a person's body temperature was lower or higher than the normal range, they could maintain a clear mind for up to three hours. This meant finding a suitable shelter as soon as possible to regulate body temperature and prevent hypothermal or heatstroke.
- A person could go up to three days without drinking water, so finding a water source was the key to survival. In an ideal situation, an adult should drink one liter of water a day. With water, they could go without food for up to three weeks, but they had to find food as soon as possible.
2. ** Mentality adjustment **
- In a Survival mission, it was important to maintain a good mentality. Calm judgment could help him calm down from his panic and focus on getting out of trouble. For example, they could use the "Spear" strategy, which included Stop (don't walk around), Plan (plan how to escape from danger), Execute (execute the plan), Assessment (evaluate and calculate), and Re-evaluate (re-evaluate the situation).
** 2. Survival Skills in the Wild **
1. ** Sanctuary related **
- There were three things to pay attention to when choosing a shelter: the location should be far away from danger and there should be abundant available resources nearby; it should be isolated from the ground, rain, wind, heat waves and other unfavorable factors; there should be a heat source to maintain body temperature or to start a fire. Natural shelters such as natural caves, hollow tree holes, and logs could also be built with branches.
2. ** Finding water sources and drinking water safety **
- Finding a water source was a higher priority. There were many ways to obtain water in the wild, such as making a simple water filtering device, preparing a large beverage bottle, cutting it one-third of the bottle, grabbing a handful of cotton and placing it at the mouth of the bottle, crushing the charcoal and putting it in, then laying a layer of sand on it, and putting a large stone on top. It could easily filter the impurities in the water, but remember to boil it before eating.
3. ** Food acquisition and cooking **
- For example, to make grilled fish in the wild, the cross of the wooden stake was split open, the center part was removed, and the fish was tied up with iron wire. After adding a fire, the fish was sprinkled with salt and placed in the wooden stake to be smoked for more than ten minutes.
4. ** Fire source related **
- The method of making a lighter was to break the candle and melt it in a can, put in a cotton rope to fully absorb the wax, and then wrap the cotton rope around the lighter after cooling. This kind of lighter was waterproof and easy to use.
- He could also use some special items to make lighting tools. For example, he could fill a glove with mineral water, tie it up, grab a handful of dry leaves, and squeeze them into a sphere to form a concave lens. He could wipe the bottom with chocolate and then wipe it clean. He could light the firewood with the bottom facing the sun.
5. ** Other practical techniques **
- To make a storage basket, tie a rope to both ends of the rod and twist it into a fork. Then, place it on the four sides in order to form a pyramid shape. After tying the rope, you can hang it on a tree to store fruits.
- He used a broken water bottle to make a kettle, opened it with a stick, filled it with water, and tied the plastic mouth tightly.
** 3. Dealing with special dangerous situations **
1. ** Being crushed by an avalanche **
- After stopping, dig a small hole near your face and spit at the hole. According to the direction of gravity, dig in the opposite direction to save yourself.
2. ** Tsunami Warning **
- If you find that the seawater receded rapidly and exposed the bottom of the sea, this is a sign that a tsunami is coming. You must immediately warn the people around you and escape as soon as possible.
3. ** No pump for flat tires **
- Pick a pile of grass or leaves and try to stuff them into the tires to support them to a safe place.
4. ** Chased by a black bear **
- Don't turn your back to the bear or try to escape. Lie on the ground to protect your vitals. Cross your hands behind your neck to protect your arteries. Don't climb trees.
5. ** Ditching on the water **
- Do not inflate the life jacket before getting off the plane. Take a deep breath first, put on the uninflated life jacket, and then pull the inflatable rope after leaving the plane.
6. ** Fire Escape **
- Try to stay low, because the smoke was more dangerous than the flames. The smoke floated up and stayed close to the ground to avoid inhaling the smoke.
7. ** Caught in the torrent **
- Don't try to swim back to shore against the current. Instead, stay parallel to the shore in the pool until you leave the current.
8. ** Trapped on thin ice **
- First, they lay on the ice and spread their arms and legs. If there were ice bricks, they could use them as ice claws to climb to a safe place. If there were no ice bricks, they could roll back in the direction they came from to evenly distribute their weight.
9. ** Sink into the car **
- When the door cannot be opened due to water pressure and the car is filled with water, the door can only be opened when the internal and external pressures are the same. If you are stuck in the car, hit the edge of the window (not the center point) to break the window. If you can take the pillow from the seat, you can use it to hit the glass.
10. ** Encounter a pack of wolves **
- They stood still because the wolves 'instinct was to chase after their prey. Standing still would make them retreat.
11. ** Choking till no one helps **
- You can perform the Heimlich technique on yourself with a hard surface, such as the back of a chair or a table. You can clench one hand into a fist and push it against your abdomen while leaning your back against the hard surface.
12. ** Diving in open water is dangerous **
- If the school of fish disappeared or floated to the surface, it might mean that the sharks were approaching and they had to get ashore quickly. Similarly, small animals and predators in the forest would also run to a safe place when the surroundings suddenly quieted down.
13. ** Missing battery **
- If you don't have a suitable battery for survival equipment (such as a radio or flashlight), you can take a piece of aluminum foil and stuff it into the gap of the battery box to make the small battery work.
