Survival Tips

Rabies is endemic in many countries. Its reservoir is in the wild animal populations, particularly carnivores.

If a person is bitten by a rabid animal, the virus, which is present in the saliva, will cause the person bitten to develop the disease which is mostly fatal.

However, there is a both a vaccine and treatment for rabies and it is possible to prevent infection and indeed cure the disease if treatment is given in time. Anyone bitten by an animal in a rabies area should seek medical help as early as possible. Thus, while a nasty disease, rabies is not really a severe problem.

In cases where the background infection rate in the animal population is high, it is also possible to vaccinate the wild animals by scattering bait for them to eat which contains the vaccine. This would be done in case of an outbreak.

no ,any person with this type of injury needs urgent medical help and food or drink can delay surgery times due to fact they can choke to death after surgery because the drugs used makes you throw up.

A Combat Lifesaver is a certified US Army soldier trained in advanced first aid. Ideally there should be one Combat Lifesaver per platoon. The purpose is to provide advanced first aid until an Army medic arrives. It is a three week course that teaches skills including: IV administration, bleeding control, heat injuries, cold weather injuries, burn management, etc.

Always make sure speed and route taken are the safest possible.

You can use this knowledge to orient yourself with the cardinal directions if you get lost.

The most important thing is to "stay with the crashed plane!" A crashed plane is easier for searchers to see from the air than a solitary person trying to walk out to safety. Use whatever you can in and around the plane. Make sure it is visible from the air. You should have left a flight plan and an ATE (Estimated Time of Arrive) with a responsible person(s). Most standard survival tips will apply. Fishing in a nearby lake - provided you have basic fishing gear, of course. Dead-trapping small game is also possible.

if the knife is stuck in the wound loosely and will come out easily then quickly remove it and apply immediate pressure and antiseptic to the wound. if the blade is stuck very firmly in the wound, then its best to leave it until help arrives, as there is a high chance you could make the wound worse.

If you're healthy (and, most importantly, don't have heart disease or diabetes) surviving three days without food is not a problem, assuming you're drinking water. At the time I'm writing this, I haven't eaten in three days, but I've been drinking several liters of water and unsweetened tea every day. I feel fine - just a bit tired and weak. As long as they have water, people can survive months without food, but anything past 3 weeks puts you in the danger zone.

Yes, salt can help in the heat, but you shouldn't ONLY depend on salt. You should also drink lots of liquids to keep hydrated. (Pop and Coffee dehydrate you, so try to navigate away from those options.) Also, try to stay out of the sun when you can.

Trees are needed for survival as they produce oxygen, which every animal - save for sea life - requires for inhalation. Animals and humans, in turn, release carbon-dioxide which is what the trees 'breathe' and require for survival. Think of it as a trade.

At least 2,000 calories a day

you must keep calm, panicking will only make the situation worse, an if you are in a place that experiences disasters, then get some knowledge on what to do when one hits, it could mean the difference life and death.

Dry ice has many advantages. It can be used in various industries for different uses. From laboratory experiments to shipping food to special effects on certain occasions. Having your own portable dry ice maker ultimately allows you to experience the all the advantages of dry ice at your convenience, anytime anywhere.

Use a platform

When wet and cold, your body will feel much colder than it actually is outside, which speeds along the process. When you are cold, you'll start shivering to warm yourself up. Your body focuses most of its energy on warming you up, so with time your blood will move from your fingers/hands/toes/feet to your core in an effort to keep the vital components operational. The problem here is, when the blood leaves these body parts (especially when you are wet as your questions states) they are at an even higher risk of Frostbite.

If your body temperature continues to fall (think around 95° F) Hypothermia begins to set in. Hypothermia is when your body is losing heat faster than it can replace it. Symptoms include stomping and uncontrollable shivering as your body tries to warm up, slurred speech, loss of coordination, and memory loss. After a point, you will stop shivering which is very bad. If one does not receive help soon at this point, they will probably be rendered unconscious and die.

So basically... stay warm and dry.

Food, water, safe habitat, and the ability to successfully reproduce are imperative to survival on this planet.

If your intelligent enough, almost anything can be useful in a survival situation. You just need to know how to use it.

Cobra Snakes are deadly their bite can kill very quickly and if a spitting cobra "spits" venom at you and it gets in your eyes or in an open wound then you may die.

Although Cobras dont actually spit venom they simply use a gland above their fangs to release a drop of venom to the tip of the fang, They then rapidly exhale creating a gust of air and spraying the drops of venom outwards. Sometimes at a distance of up to three feet.

If you have to build a shelter in the wild you want to pick an area that is relatively protected from the wind. It would be ideal if the area you settle on has at least a small source of water. You want to build your shelter on a slope above any sign of high water marks. It is best to avoid building a shelter on a ridge. It will be exposed to more wind and present a higher lightning hazard. You want it to be visible, so balance protection from the wind with open exposure, such as building your shelter at the edge of the tree line.

yes you should so you dont have to touch things with your bare hands
