How do you survive a cannibal attack?
== In order to survive a cannibal attack, first you must . . .
1.) Get a weapon
2.) Kill/wound the person
3.) Tie up the cannibal
4.) Call 9-1-1
5.) Get a restraining order from the person that attacked you. == If you are not prone to violence you may also try some forms of cannibal prevention. First, stay out of areas cannibals are known to frequent. If you have to go into one of these areas, be sure to spray yourself with plenty of mosquito repellent. It smells strongly and the cannibal will know you taste bad. This will most likely cause him/her to move onto the next person who comes wandering through. Also, always bring a friend that runs slower than you.

What are some poolside survival tips for cruises?
During the day, especially when the vessel is 'at sea', the pool is THE place to hang out. During the summer months and holidays, expect many families to be poolside with their kids running amuck. If this isn't your thang, you may wish to utilize the pool while the ship is in port or at off-peak times such as when the dining rooms are open. Same goes for the jacuzzis. Also, remember that the pool water on ships is held to a much higher public standard than that of any neighborhood pool you've ever used. Because the United States Public Health department requires all pools to use a much higher chemical level, you may find that colored hair and swimsuits may turn a different shade even with minimal exposure. Oh, and it should go without saying, but don't ingest the pool water. Gross. Outside of the pools, you may have your heart set on bikini-clad women and hunky men to be walking around. Remember the demographic for most cruises are "newly wed" and "nearly dead". You may be a bit surprised that your fellow cruisers are in a completely different demographic than yourself. Use the nightclub to find the single guys and ladies, along with the 'singles activities' planned by the Cruise Staff. Lastly, as the old saying goes, "Wait an hour after eating before you enter the pool." This rings true on cruise ships more than anywhere else. Not only could jumping into the icy pool after hitting up the nearby buffet cause cramping (and drowning), but the ship is at motion, which (as stated below) causes the water in it to be sloshing around. Outside pools are often filled with salt water, in rough seas the water can resonate with the waves and splash out of the pool and onto the deck. If you like whale watching, it is often better on the pool deck than in the sea.

What to do if boat capsizes and stays afloat?
You are supposed to stay with the boat, for more than one reason:
If it's sailboat, you would want to release the main and/or jib sheets. Then, by standing on the keel, bring 'er back upright. Then you can start bailing, and resume your activities.
The second reason is that rescue boats can find that boat easier in the water than they can spot you, alone. And, they may run you over in their attempt to get near the boat.
Warning: If it is a LARGE BOAT (like a cruise ship), row (in a lifeboat) or swim away FAST(!) because when she goes under, she will create a whirlpool, which will suck you under with her.

Can you use shoelaces as a belt?
Yes, but it might wise to double them up, for strength (depending on your girth, that may take four, or even six, shoelaces). A normal pair of sweatpants uses no more than a shoelace, more commonly called a drawstring.
If you are ever lost in the woods, you might want to use those shoelaces for animal snares. While you are waiting for the traps to snap, you might want to make a spear, with which to slay the larger carnivore that you will bait with the small animal you 'trip up' with your humble shoelace.
'No trace camping' is a way of wilderness camping designed to preserve the natural space you will use as a campsite.
