Survival Tips

World War III is due to start somewhere between 2012 and 2014. It will start in the middle east and spread through Africa, Europe and Asia. It will end when Russia invades North America and China invades South America. By then about 85% of the global population (mostly civilians) will be annihilated. Those who survived will deal with radiation, disease, violence and torture by foreign armies. After 2020 the world will be a complete different place, and there will be "peace" for a while. Checkmate!

Get really really warm stuff

If you have a knife or sharp-edged stone you can carve a spear, using a shaft of wood at least six and a half feet long. If you have some plants that can be processed to make cordage, and a medium to large pointed thin stone, you can lash on a spear head shaped stone, or even your knife, to the top of your spear.

You can take a sawed off branch and split it two-thirds of the way down the shaft, or instead use a naturally forked branch, and lash a hammer or ax head-like stone into the split or between the forks of the branch. In making this type of hammer wrap tight lashing to well above and below the stone in the split you made, or well above and below the forks. A simple large and hard stick makes an excellent club.

You can use your shoe strings and a small piece of fabric ripped from your shirt or other article of clothing to make a stone sling.

There is a number of weapons and other tools that a survivor on a desert island could improvise.

If a shark is attacking you tighten your fist as if it were rock while playing rock paper scissors and hit it as hard as you can on the nose. It will swim away. Then return to shore and take it easy so you don't get the bends or other health problems.

First you dig a hole half a metre deep. Put a bottle or container in and wee around it. Then put a plastic sheet over the top (like the one on the inside of a rucksack) and put stones around the edge and one in the middle. the wee will evaporate then condense on the underside of the plastic and will trickle to the middle and drip into the container. It will no longer be wee, but pure distilled water!

Check the link below for a diagram.

You can only find water in the desert from the oasis of the desert it is a small body of water that can sometimes be found in the desert.

Yes that is very correct but the water from a barrel cactus is drinkable.

If you have something shiny, you can use it to flash light to get someone's attention. You can make a small fire and put some branches on top of it, green ones, and it will cause the smoke to go up so people can find you more easily. If you find a stream you can follow it, and it will usually lead to a place where there are houses, that use the stream as a water source. Don't just walk around, because you will end up walking in circles. It is best to stay where you are, so people can find you, but if no one shows up soon, here's what you can do: Find two trees in a line and walk up to the next one, then find two more trees that are in a line and go to the second one, then keep doing that and you will be walking in a line in one direction instead of going in circles.

DIRECTLY killed by grasshoppers? Probably none.

But grasshoppers in large numbers are called "locusts" which are capable of devouring every shred of grain, grass or plant material. Over the course of the centuries, probably millions of people have starved to death after locusts ravaged their crops and fields. Locusts were one of the "ten plagues of Egypt" for a reason.

To survive a disaster you first must know what type of disaster you wish to prepare for. And that is the key phase, PREPARE Do your homework on what types of disaster you need or want to prepare for, then PREPARE. Get all the items you may need to survive. You also will need to mentally prepare by going over "what if" or worst case scenarios in you head or on paper. Keep in mind that to survive you NEED to be all about you and you alone. The only way you can help others is if you've helped yourself.

whenever u see a cobra u should not get angry or scared. bcos, they have infra red radiating eyes which can understand our situation because of change in blood pressure. so be cool and casual and let it go.....they will not hurt us unless we initiate it.

OK, i don't know why someone changed my old answer (pray) because there is no physical way of surviving a direct volcanic explosion. If lava runs you over at who knows how many degrees, you will die and if a chunk of lava flies through the air and hits you, you will also catch fire (and die) or melt (and die), depending on the size of the lava mass. If a rock propelled by the explosion hits you, you will either die of the impact or being suffocated/burned when you pass out from the hit and die of indirect causes. If you are too close to the fumes of the volcano or lava (lava releases CO2 and Sulfur gas - both harmful to humans), you will suffocate and die. If there is a pyroclastic flow, you will be burned at thousands of degrees and die (no one as ever survived a pyroclastic flow and don't bet on being the first). If you become stranded on an "island" in a flowing river of lava, the heat will dehydrate you, or if sufficient, catch you on fire and kill you, no to mention the toxic gases released by lava suffocating you. If there is a terrestrial rainfall or pumice rain, and you are completely exposed, you may or may not die, but for sure you will become impaired. And lets not even mention if you are on the cone of the volcano when the eruption takes place; that's obviously a guaranteed death. Basically you will not survive a volcanic eruption if you are near it long enough, I'm assuming your question implies that you survive the entire length of the volcanic activity within a near distance, and history will support that. Look at Pompey, not even on the volcano and nearly the entire city wiped out, or the Minoan civilization which was on a separate island from the volcano and had many people killed (an indirect cause of the fall of Minoan civilization BTW) and Krakatoa too. So physically you will not survive, and therefore you're better off praying, unless you can outrun the volcano's wrath (don't forget volcanoes typically have earthquakes too and as for pyroclastic flows; they move at over a hundred mph, way faster than any human) or you can find some type of man-made shelter that can withstand lava, which doesn't exist by the way.

Most scientists believe that not many people could survive a lion attack because they are too fierce and aggressive. A lot of people die from lion attack, especially adult lions. Recently, guns have been invented, so they usually shoot gun at the lion quickly when they're about to get attacked in order to protect themselves from being killed.

My opinion: 1. Water (boil all outdoors water 10 minutes if possible) 2. Shelter (even a pile of leaves if nothing else) 3. Food (or you have no energy for surviving and only exhaustion) 4. Calmness (or you won't even see solutions that are presenting themselves) 5. A plan for escape or maintaing where you are

the average adult has ten pints of blood.

You pretty much have to search the island for all means of food and shelter.

You could survive on an island by drinking coconut milk. Eating the citrus fruits from the trees. Also with the coconut, you can get the coconut oil on and rug it on your skin to prevent sun burn.
Fish if you can and hunt to get meat. Make a rod with materials around you. You can spear for fishes too.

You should try to look around the island and search for human made products that could be useful. Like a tin can. You then can boil water in it.
Find or make a place of shelter and start a fire.

== == Its because we are made up mostly of water. If you dont give the body water, the blood cells cannot deliver it to all the cells of the body that rely on it to stay alive. If they dont get water, the individual cells die of dehydration. If this happens in large quantities, the host (body) dies of dehydration as well. The same is true of oxygen and food.

There are many ways in which you can manage disaster depending on the situation. For hurricanes you can seek shelter in high places or travel to a different location until the storm blows out.

If you have recently drank a quantity of treated water, then maybe the first time you drink your own urine it would be fairly diluted and might not harm you. But every time you drink your own urine without replenishing your intake of pure water the salts and other minerals in the urine becomes less and less diluted and more concentrated and will eventually severely dehydrate you and possibly kill you. For this reason very few survival experts recommend drinking urine.

I think we can not live without water because 84% of our body is made up of water.But I am curious Can we live without water?

no we cannot
