Survival Tips

If the cut is superficial - the first thing to apply is warm water and soap. Next apply an antibacterial ointment (such as Neosporin) and a bandage. If the cut is deeper and bleeding heavily wrap the cut with gauze and a towel if necessary and go to the ER. Let them cleanse the wound.

So you have less of a chance of dying.....

The first thing to consider is how you're feeling: Ill, fatigued, thirsty, hungry, if you have any injuries that need treating. This also goes for anyone who might be with you. The next thing to do is to take stock of any and everything you or anyone else there may have with you that may be of use.

Three primary things to consider is regulation of body temperature through building a fire and/or shelter, finding a source of water, and acquiring food. The order of meeting these priorities will depend on the situation.

Wet wood, vegetation, and plastics will make a thick, dark smoke that should not be breathed in.

Dry wood and dead leaves make a thinner, grayish smoke.

Usually one person needs to be very passive, you need the ability to just let things go.

To survive a struggling economy, it's essential to create a budget that prioritizes essential expenses and reduces unnecessary spending. Diversifying income sources, such as taking on freelance work or part-time jobs, can provide additional financial security. Additionally, building an emergency fund can help cushion unexpected expenses, while staying informed about economic trends can aid in making better financial decisions. Seeking financial advice or support from community resources can also provide valuable guidance during tough times.

If you have the time....

1. Understand what is going on.

2. Put food, water, important documents and valuables in your car.

3. Drive to somewhere safe.

If you don't have time...

1. Understand what is going on.

2. Take food, water, important documents and valuables to the attic

3. Take yourself to the attic

If I found myself on a deserted island with no manmade areas of shelter, I would first search for a suitable location to make a shelter. If there was a source of fresh water, I'd think about sheltering near there, but still close enough to the beach in case rescue came. I'd also check to be sure the fresh water would not overflow its banks during a heavy rain. I'd look for thick trees for one side of the shelter, or a boulder or cliff for one side. If temps on the island stay hot, the rock face will help keep me cooler. I'd also plan where I'd put my fire, if I'm able to start a fire.

Next, I'd start collecting items to use in my shelter and any useful items I find. In today's world, oceans are often used as garbage dumps and plastic bottles, shoes, boards, cans, etc. often wash up on beaches. I can use plastic or cans to collect rain water or cans to boil water.

I'd be collecting as much driftwood and shells I could find to make 'walls'.

If I had a knife, I'd look for living trees with leaves on them, or any fresh fallen leaves to make bedding. Other things to use might be dry seaweed or other fresh dry vegetation. I wouldn't want it so dry that it could catch fire, though.

Once I had tree limbs and vegetation gathered to my location, I'd use some leafy-braches overhead. I'd look for a "Y" in the trees I picked for shelter and try to wedge my branches from one "Y" to another tree's "Y". Once I had 2 or more branches wedged in and braced, I'd slowly and carefully lay more leafy-branches on top of that base. I'd go around the backside of the trees and fill in "holes" with leafy-branches, starting from the ground up. I'd do this on the outside and from "inside" the shelter.

Back on my side of the shelter, rather than digging an indentation to lay down, I'd pile up sand or dirt to make a "bed"; I'd make it as high as possible and pack it down with my hands and feet/shoes as I put down each layer. I'd make it wider and longer than my body to account for erosion. Once it was big enough and packed down, I'd lay leaves and soft debris on my "bed" to lay on. I'd keep out a few leafy-branches to use to cover myself if I needed to.

I'd make sure to always keep the clothes I had dry while I worked. Many places get colder at night and the body temperature can drop at night (circadium rhythm). I'd do everything possible to keep my head & scalp warm since a lot of body heat is lost from the scalp.

I'd start work on a fire long before sunset because it may take hours to make a spark. I'd make sure the location had a wind break to protect the fire. I'd make sure I always had a stockpile of things to burn.

It really depends on where you work. I would not expect anything above minimum wage unless you have some type of skill that is certified.....like being cisco certified.

in a mass shelter (apex)

it would depend.if i was going camping and had a backpack with a tent, some food and water, and a sleeping bag i would have an alright chance. If I had nothing then I would probably die at a maximum of 3 days since you cant live without water for 3 days. If I found water and needed food then a maximum of 3 weeks since you cant live without food foe 3 weeks. so it all depends on what you have and/or if you get injured or bitten or stung by a wild cat or snake or scorpian.

Whales will never attack human even though they are provoked. Whales will only attack if it's just by an accident. The only whale that will attack human is the killer whale. Whales are the largest sea animals and they are helpful because they eat any sea animals that will harm human like the shark or the anglerfish. Whales are much bigger, so they could even eat the great white shark. If we refer to whale, some people could survive, but some people get killed. If we refer to killer whales, not many people could survive a killer whale attack, so Eskimos are recently using helicopters instead of boats.

If he or she is drowning alone then you shouldn't panic and you should lean forward facing the bottom and hold your breath. By doing this you will start floating and once your above the water turn around quickly to breathe

You cannot live on medicine alone, however, certain vitamins are necessary for long-term survival, therefore, some vitamin supplements may be helpful in surviving adverse conditions when your food does not supply these vital nutrients.

Differs with the individual but usually late 40's.

Make or buy decisions help businesses determine if it is better to produce a product in-house, or outsource the production. When another business has a comparative advantage in production it is best to outsource production.

You would have to start a fire and boil the water

Nope. I'm glad too because if we had to go into torpor then we'd have to sleep underground in the mud. Yuck! That would get my new spring wardrobe all gross! :0)

Personal safety.

Yes, but only in dire situations. Over time, the toxins flushed out by your kidneys will build back up through consumption, and make you ill to the point of kidney failure and death. I don't know why a person would be dumb enough to say drinking urine is "healthy." It's not.
You shouldn't drink it because it is a waste product and it is not good for you.
Yes considering you have bottle to pea in or a partner to swap serve urine back and forth with.. eww. Urine is 95-per-cent water and better than nothing in a pinch. There have been many documented cases of people surviving on there own urine in life or death situations. Some people even drink their own urine claiming many health benefits. If there are any other cleaner water sources you would want to consider them first. But if your afloat in the middle of the Atlantic or in a desert with no streams around then yes, drink your urine.

Survival in space requires a pressurized environment, oxygen, and heating. None of these exist in the vaccum of space. You also need protection from the twin hazards of radiation and fast-moving micro-meteoroids.

In the manned space missions, a sealed spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station can provide a shirt-sleeve environment that has everything except gravity. On long-term missions, astronauts must exercise regularly to keep their muscles and bones in healthy condition, because these bodily systems begin to atrophy in zero gravity.

For excursions into space or to the lunar surface, spacesuits take the place of a walled vehicle, but provide the same environmental supports:

- heavy materials to block radiation and small space particles

- heat exchangers to keep the interior warm but distribute the scorching heat from the Sun

- a pressurized inner suit

- the breathing apparatus that provides oxygen while removing exhaled carbon dioxide.
