All life on earth is adapted to a day/night cycle. Further, all life on earth is ultimately dependent on plant life, and plant life is dependent on sunlight. Were no sunlight to reach earth due to thick ash clouds or something else obscuring sunlight, plants would die, herbivores would die and finally carnivores would die. There would be no food for humans to survive on, except for fungi which are not dependent on light.

What should you do when attacked by a bear?

What do you do in the rare case you are being attacked by a bear? Fight back. Predators do not attack out of anger, and they are always careful to avoid injury. Unlike what you may have heard, play dead only in the even rarer case of being attacked by an angry mother. She is acting out of instinct, she perceives you as a threat to her cubs.

For any other reason, a confrontation with a bear should be handled with a great deal of noise and threatening action. This will end the "attack" quickly with the bear leaving for safer grounds. See link below for more information.

How do you survive the dentist?

By thinking happy thoughts, listening to music on head-phones and getting them to tell me whats happening.

If you cannot refrain from unpleasant thinking due to the constant reminder of what they're doing, then nothing much but stick it out.

If they hurt you in anyway what-so-ever, then be sure to kill the dentist (after he's done his job) with his own tools. If the procedure itself doesn't make you want to commit murder, then the enourmous bill you get for going through torture should!

What was in a first aid kit for a soldier in World War 2?

The first first aid kit wasn't made until 1890 by Johnson and Johnson. It held antiseptic dressings, surgical supplies, wound care, and a first aid guide. This is well past the time of the pioneer time frame, so they didn't have a kit. They may have carried cotton strips to be used as bandages, some ointments, and medicinal plasters. When a person was hurt in the 1800's they very often died of wounds if they were serious and often had body parts cut off to save the life of the hurt person.

What are the best foods to eat if you are lost in the woods?

You can eat leaves and stuff but a lot of it is indigestible. You are not supposed to eat any fruit, nut, or berry you don't recognize. You can test a berry or fruit by taking a piece and touching the inside to your lips. Wait 5-10 minutes. If there is any stinging, swelling, or anything unusual, it is not safe to eat. If it safe to eat, take a little piece and start mashing it in your mouth for a few minutes and swallow. If there is any tingling, stinging, swelling, etc., don't eat it. If it passes this test, it is safe to eat, so you don't have to worry about dropping dead after eating it.
