35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community

I saw another post asking if you had any not helpful survival tips, but I was wondering if our pandas had any HELPFUL advice.

My three best tips are if you facing the rising sun, that's east. If you turn right, that's south. If you turn left, that's north, and if you turn all the way around, that's west. My second tip is don't drink standing water, and my third tip is if you find a river, go downstream (there's likely a settlement there).

Bonus tip from a video game: If you see a plume of smoke, there's likely someone at the origin. Scroll down for all the useful tips!

35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community If you're ever alone and get something stuck in your throat 'til you can't breathe, throw yourself backward against a wall or any hard vertical surface. Do it 'til it dislodges the object. Thank goodness for the foot-thick concrete walls of that old creamery building, I'm still here.

35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community If you encounter a wolf, NEVER, EVER run away, as it will think you are prey fleeing. And ALWAYS keep eye contact with the wolf (yet don’t stare) while raising your arms to make yourself look big and intimidating. Slowly back away. This trick works gradually, but if you want to scare them off quickly, bend down (WHILE KEEPING EYE CONTACT) and pick up a stick or rock to throw at the wolf. You can also, if you have a gun, shoot it in the air. DO NOT shoot it at the wolf, as if they survive the shot they will charge and try to kill you. If you are walking with a group, link together and be intimidating-also, if there are vulnerable or young people, form a circle and keep them in the middle. Wolves rarely attack people unless rabid, starving, (Really, really starving) hurt, or if you had gone too close to them or terrorized them in any way. Wolf attacks and encounters are very rare, as wolves are shy and actually harmless. They are a major keystone species and very essential to the environment, so they aren’t bad at all. Many people are misled, thinking “Oh Wolves are bad because they are bloodthirsty killers, they want to hurt us.” But no, they are actually not. If you are camping, a campfire will also deter them away.

35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community Know your exits. If you're at a concert or bar or theatre or anywhere like that take a second when you arrive to note the location of the exits. In a fire or other disaster most people will head for the door they came in. If there's going to be a crush, that's where it will be.

If there is smoke then, if possible, get low and stay down until you're out of the building. One or two breaths of smoke can incapacitate you. If you can't get low try and find something - a shirt, a scarf, anything, to tie over your mouth and nose. If you can wet it first so much the better.

And remember once out never ever re-enter a burning building. The odds are that you won't save anyone, you'll just add to the body count. I mean if your kids are in there you're probably going to ignore this and that's understandable, but just know you have very low odds of success without breathing apparatus.

The first of these is hugely important though, so I'm repeating it. Always always know your exits.

Take a picture of your kid(s) once you get to your destination, this way, if they do become separated from you...you will have a current picture of them.

The safe word: if someone says Your Mom Dad etc, said for me to come get you...your kid should asks them for the safe word given, so they know to go with them...

35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community When you go hiking, wear proper equipment, preferably hiking/combat boots with long laces. If you tie the laces tightly around your foot the chances of you spraining your ankle lessens. The boot will support it.
I personally am quite accident prone. I always take a cloth with me in case i need to stop a wound from bleeding and keep skin in place. I've had to reattach the front half of my leg with Band-Aids before and trust me, the cloth works far better. Press the cloth over the wound and tie it with the shoelaces.
Not really survival but definitely helpful for just not getting hurt too badly.

As soon as you realise yoh are lost, stop. Make a fire or at least sit down and eat/drink something. Do not leave untill you have a direction and plan. The fire and put on the kettle bit will help you to calm down, and give comfort. That was the first thing we learned on the survival course when I went to a school for forrestry workers in my youth. It was up in Swedish Lappland, and the survival bit was serious - if you get lost and start to walk in the wrong direction up there, you will most likely never be seen again.

35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community If you're lost, in trouble, or being followed/harassed, it's far better to just pick a person and ask for help rather than relying on someone who offers. Most people are willing to help you if you ask with a specific request and someone volunteering might just be seeing a situation where they can take advantage of your vulnerability. The best person to ask is a woman with children with her followed by a man with children with him. People with children are more likely to be decent to set a good example for their kids in public and if they are a garbage human being will behave in front of their kids.

35 Life-Saving Tips That Aren’t Hard To Remember But Might Come In Handy When You Least Expect It, As Told By Our Community Always have baking soda at hand near the stove to put out fires. Never put out a fire on the stove or oven with water, in case there's grease. Always keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen or know where the closest one is in the building.

If you need to catch a falling knife, always do so with your hands flat and clap them closed. (I did this once at work.)

Get a carbon monoxide detector.

Take a CPR class, especially if you have kids, and retake it every few years.

If you're hiking in the snow, doing some winter camping, or anything where you might be outside in the cold, don't drink alcohol. It's not making you warm, it's lowering your internal body temperature, putting you at greater risk of hypothermia.

1: If you're being chased by a bear, don't climb trees. They are very strong and can knock down smaller trees, and younger bears can climb. Instead, lay down. That should make them think you're dead, and they'll leave you alone. If they start licking your wounds, then that means they'll eat you, though.
2: If you're being chased by a black bear, fight back. It should scare them away. If you're being chased by a brown bear, try the tip above. If you're being chased by a polar bear, throw your clothes down. They have ADHD, and will be forced to sniff every single piece of clothing.
3: If you're walking through a forest or something like that, and everything goes quiet, instead of birds chirping, or other animals, get out of that spot. It means there's most likely a predator nearby.

Don't eat snow. It will kill you by giving you hypothermia.
If you MUST eat something and aren't sure if it will kill you, mash it up and spread some on you lips. DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY EAT ANY OF IT.
If after fifteen minutes there is no rash or itch, it has a higher chance of being safe. Unless the plant smells like almond. Then it will probably kill you. But, as a general rule of thumb, don't eat something if you aren't 100% sure it is edible.

If you see a zip tie on your car that you didn't put there, don't get in, someone is watching you. Get help from the police or a friend if you're with one.

If you get in and there's money on the windshield, don't get out, someone is trying to steal your car. Just lock your doors and roll your windows up and call the police.

If you have a dog and you see a random zip tie on your fence, get help because that means someone marked it to remember to steal your dog later.

There are markings that thieves will use on houses to tell whether or not your house is good to rob. I'd suggest looking these up and remembering them, because if you see one on yours or someone else's house, you need to be able to understand it and possibly get help.

If you're being followed down a high street, go into a shop/fast food outlet/pub and ask for help from the staff. In the UK, we have a scheme in pubs called "Ask Angela" where if you go to the bar staff and ask for Angela, they will know you're in trouble and will make sure that you're safe.
