Surviving at Any Cost

Making a rope in the woods Conifers have long, flexible roots that extend in all directions beneath the surface of the ground. If you need an improvised rope to build a shelter or do other work, a pine or spruce tree will help you out. Sharpen your stick and tear up the top layer of earth near the tree. Very soon you will come across thin, long and flexible roots. Gently pull on them, pulling them out of the ground. To make the rope more flexible, cut the root lengthwise and remove the sheath.

How to survive a nuclear explosion. Yes, there is such a possibility! In a nuclear explosion, the main danger is the shockwave created by the explosion, not the flash itself and the fireball, which has a relatively small radius. If you are far enough away from the fireball and see it, you may have 8-10 seconds to react correctly. You must quickly lie face down with your fingers over your eyes and ears. You should breathe through your mouth. If you stay upright, the shockwave will damage your lungs, eardrums, and other organs. As soon as the shockwave passes by, you should immediately find a well-fortified underground shelter and stay there for the next 48 hours. The radioactive material after the explosion diminishes exponentially, and after 48 hours you can already try to find your loved ones. And then you must leave the city and get as far away from the site of the explosion as possible.

Hygiene If you are in the woods for a while and don't know when you will be rescued (or find your way home), you will have to take care of your personal hygiene needs. Plaque can cause inflammation, pain and bleeding gums, which can be very irritating and can be fertile ground for germs and bacteria. Also, keep your body clean, especially areas like your armpits, private organs, between your fingers, and skin folds. This is because bacteria build up and can cause rashes, allergies, inflammation, all of which can lead to illness.

Be aware of your intuition and fears If you're scared to walk on a ledge, swim in deep water, ski down a steep mountain, then you're okay with your self-preservation instinct. Listen to it, be proud of it. It's your personal bodyguard. Life surrounded by danger, constant vigilance and the occasional experience of fear - it's normal. Man is evolutionarily adapted to this, and only a significant deviation from such conditions in one direction or another is unfavorable for him. It happens that young people want to shine in front of girls or in front of buddies. In friendly company, everyone becomes more reckless in general. People turn on each other with hackneyed replicas, like "who doesn't risk, doesn't drink champagne," then commit a "feat" and spend the rest of their lives cursing their stupidity. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to survive and someone you know is with you, stick together and don't show off in front of each other.

How to give yourself first aid without a first aid kit Fresh resin, oleoresin, has antiseptic properties. Oleoresin can be used to rub on small cuts and wounds to protect them from infection. Old dried resin can be chewed when you have a cold and sore throat. The methods are as simple as possible, but true and working. In difficult conditions, it can help to avoid aggravating the disease.

Water filter ✅Pine or spruce wood is porous enough to allow water to pass through, but also to trap bacteria and other harmful particles. ✅Most bacteria are 1 to 10 microns long, and the gaps in the wood tissue are small enough to trap them. ✅Cut a piece of wood 3-4 cm long and about 2 cm in diameter and place it in a tube. ✅By passing water through it under pressure, you can filter 4 liters of pure water in 24 hours.

Fractures and dislocations A dislocated bone needs to be put back in its place. There are many tutorials on YouTube that you can follow to learn the basic techniques. For example, the shoulder can be set by hitting it against a hard surface or rolling on the ground, and the kneecaps can be set by extending the leg. For fractures, a splint should be put on, and a pair of sticks will work as materials. The broken bone is first stabilized with sticks and then tied together with string or rope.

Know your priorities Experts recommend the following list of priorities for survival in the event of a disaster: Immediate rescue: if a building is on fire, get out; if someone is shooting at you, move for cover. Whatever the immediate danger, get away from it. First Aid: Take care of medical problems resulting from the disaster. Check yourself for injuries and give yourself first aid. Self-defense: if you are in danger (e.g., near predatory animals), you should arm yourself. This could be a sharpened stick, knife, or any other item that will allow you to defend yourself. Physical needs: shelter, fire, water, food, and hygiene. It's also worth noting that almost every survival instructor, doctor, and teacher recommends one key survival rule that everyone should follow: positivity. A positive attitude will give you the mental and emotional stamina to stay safe.

Need to be ready at all times Be sure to be in every place so that you cannot be approached unnoticed from behind, so that nothing can fall on your head, etc. In every room or cave, if possible, take a place so that you can see what is coming in and also so that you can easily leave it if necessary. Always have with you an emergency kit - items and means that you will need if you get wounded, get sick, tear your clothes. Carry a knife with you - a large, folding, sharp knife. It is valuable above all as a tool of universal use - from opening cans to basic surgery. Always keep a lighter or matches with you. Fire is a means of lighting, heating, treating wounds, scaring away predators, etc.

How to escape: methods to get out of the wilderness Survival experts recommend remembering: If you get lost, stop, think and look around. In most cases, you should stay where you are and wait for help. If help is late, build shelter, make a fire and find food. When there is no one to wait for help, you need to move on. The first thing you need to do is find north. Remember: the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Determining north is only half the battle. You still need to know which direction to go. If you have a general idea of the area, head for the nearest road. If you don't know the area, follow the water source downstream or head for a clearing where you can visibly signal for help. If you have a signaling tool (a flashlight or a mirror will do), use it the second you see the rescue helicopter.
