Another thing you can do to orient yourself in a survival situation: Put a stick straight up and down in the ground. Place a rock at the end of the stick’s shadow. Wait about a half hour, and place a second rock at the end of the stick’s shadow in its new position. A line you draw between the two rocks will be running West to East.

Question, why not just look up? Using the sun you can guestimate the time of day. As long as it's not noon you should be able to identify east and west based on the sun's positioning and if it's am or pm. Once you have east or west you have all other directions by orienting yourself.

Good question! Using the sun to orient yourself is totally viable, but only if you know the time of day and you’re familiar with its path for that part of the world. The sun actually only moves directly East to West on the equator during the equinoxes. Using the sun to orient yourself gets harder as you move towards the poles and even more difficult during winter in your respective hemisphere. The method using the stick will always give you a line parallel to the earth’s latitudes, and the Shari’s tip will always start further west than the second measurement you take.

Worked out in the Mojave Desert for a while. The desert rattler liked our area in the winter because it was warm (they LOVED the photocopier). We were told that, if bitten, we had 20 minutes to get the antivenom or else. It was ok. The base infirmary at Edward’s AF base was about 20 minutes away - less if you did 100 through the desert. Our rule was no one stays there alone. Then we found out the infirmary closed at 4:30 pm. NO ONE stayed after 4 pm. You don’t mess with venomous snakes. 🐍

There's a few tricks with bears: black/brown bears don't like being surprised, so wearing small bells on your clothing will warn them from a distance. Pepper spray is also useful if they get too close. Knowing about their scat/faeces is also useful. Fibrous, not-unpleasant smelling means it's probably from a black/brown bear, while grizzly scat smells strongly of pepper and has lots of little bells in it. (No, of course you shouldn't take me seriously...)

If you’re in the Australian outback and are bitten by a snake, they have extremely well known compression bandage first aid (provided you got bit on an extremity). This is because almost all of their snakes have neurotoxins that don’t generally cause much local tissue damage and so the compression bandage slows the spread of venom in the body and gives you a great deal more opportunity to get your ass to a hospital. Now you can’t get away with this first aid in the Americas, Asia, or Africa unless you are enough of an expert to know what bit you and it happens to have a pure neurotoxin that doesn’t cause local tissue damage. This is almost never the case with American snakebite victims because all the venomous snakes except the Coral snake in the US are Vipers - and therefore have at least some myo/cyto-toxic venom in their bite. So, if you get bit in the US, fast-walk your backside to a car and get to a medical facility with antivenin.

Don’t use the North Star for direction. Most people cannot find it reliably. The sun rises in the east. If you know it’s morning and put your right shoulder towards the sun then north is in front of you. If you know it’s afternoon put the sun to your left shoulder and north is front of you. If you’re not sure because the sun is directly above then just wait an hour or so. If it’s night time then stay where you are because it’s likely dark and you’ll end up hurting yourself anyway.

He calls 911 and tell the operator his best friend just got bitten by a rattlesnake. She asks where you and he says several miles up Wolf Creek trail. She says it will take a while to get help there so you are going to have to suck out the poison now or he will die before help arrives. I can't do that. Didn't you say he's your best friend? Yes.

The number 1 survival skill though, is the same as it's always been: knowing the location of your nearest supermarket, restaurant or food delivery app 🤣 Against bears,, there's a much simpler method: never get to a distance where you can no longer hear Sir David Attenborough's commentary. If that happens, you're no longer near the TV and that's always a mistake.

(1:52) Do not "wait until dark". That's how you freeze to death. Plus, congrats--it's dark. Now you have to wait throughout the whole night so you don't fall into a hole and bust a leg wondering in the pitch black of the night. Your choices are find flowing water and follow it downstream to freedom. You can also make a compass if you have U.S. currency higher than a dollar by using the magnetic strip, a straight twig, a leaf, and a puddle. There's also a "I happen to have a steel needle in my wallet" variant. (4:22) Match flames flicker in the direction of the oxygen, so if you're stuck in a cave the direction of the flame is the way out of the cave. (6:25) The only chance you have if alone is to remain calm. Poison is poison. In the system is in the system. Now it's about damage per minute. First, get away from the snake so you don't get bit again. Second, if you panic you are increasing the rate at which the poison flows through the system. So stay calm and don't run. Venom lasts 2-3 days. If you have to, find a place to hunker down and focus on slow, methodical breathing. It's the only chance you have. Finally, even if the snake is venomous, that rarely means you've been envenomed. If you can breathe just fine after an hour, your biggest fear now is "necropathy" (flesh eating). So start walking back toward a ranger station. (7:53) Sharks attack because they have mistaken you for something else. If you can reach the gills, it's already too late. To prevent the attack, hold your arms and legs out spread eagle so the shark thinks you're something else. If it does try to go for a limb, attempt to move it like a bull fighter. Sharks have what's called a "nictitating membrane" to protect the eye; you're not getting through that. If all else fails, show it your scuba tank. The flash of light is disorientating and very few sharks can pierce the steel. (11:06) Bro, do you do no research at all? Snow is a fantastic insulator. That's what IGLOOS DO!!! You can put snow in a thermos/container/old brandy bottle and keep it inside your jacket to make water without fire. Also, most alcohol is fantastic for starting a fire. If you dunk wood in it, the alcohol removes the water from the wood. Let it dry for 1-2 hours while it's hanging off of you for quick-fire kindling. Finally, LEAVES, people. LEAVES!!! You put leaves in your jacket and you can walk for days. Do research!!! Read!!!

I remember checking out the one about the moss facing north when I was a kid and it does work, at least in English woods. The bark on the north side of trees is definitely greener than on the south side. It's not very precise, but it is good enough to keep you going in a straight line until you reach the edge of the woods.

I did use to carry around a flask of strong alcohol, just for a swig when waiting for the bus in really cold weather, or if i needed a "jolt" of sorts to keep walking in the snow. NOTE that this was only for when i knew that "warm place 1km away" or "bus is coming in 10 minutes". In survival situations, no, but the bad juice does have its small uses :D Now, if you want a really nnoying movie thing with alcohol; the AMOUNT of alcohol(like whisky) they pour into glasses in scenes :D

Shark attack, swim between the flags at popular beaches that way if you get bit life savers may deal with your issue. No bears in Australia.....except drop bears of course. Chapter 7 well in Australia the "native" birds will lead you to water. Pretty heavy on ignoring the Southern Hemisphere Simon

I bought a survival book written by an ex-SAS soldier. I stopped reading it when he said if you're stuck outside for a thunderstorm, lie completely flat on the ground. WRONG! That's the WORST thing to do! If you feel the hair on the back of your neck start to stand up, a lightning strike is imminent. You want to crouch down on the balls of your feet, touching as little of the ground as possible, and put your hands over your ears to shield them from the crack of thunder about to go off.

This entire episode is filled with so many errors that even more urban people who listen to this will die… but then if they are so foolish to follow your erroneous advice … well .. maybe the world is better off without them.. .. with exception of snake bites and the sharks episode which is hilarious(based on overblown sensationalism), #6 and #7 which is just outright hilarious.. maybe the entitled urban elites should just stay out of the wilderness without a guide or as in your case actually learn some practical and useful information/training from seasoned backcountry inhabitants before embarking on their urban fantasies and facile videos.. respectfully.. it’s just a thought.. 😉😎

All outdoor wildlife professionals, enthusiasts and bear experts appreciates that you clarified between responses towards polar, black and Grizzley. Most dont go that far, and it matters. * In every case ... pick up children first, then dogs. If your holding a child, let the dog go after the bear or let the bear attack the dog. It may give you time to escape or back away with the child. Priorities. * In every case again, talk to the bear so it knows you are human and not a prey animal. This might work on its own, bears know humans are not worth the trouble, they will likely want to just leave. How they respond to this and your follow up behaviour depends on the variety of bear. - Yes a polar bear is the hard exception to everything ... with a polar bear its up to the bear if you survive, full stop. They have no fear and you are lunch. Doesnt matter what you do. If you dont have a concrete box, a helicopter or a howitzer, be prepared to fight the good fight, if they dont get bored of you and wander away because they are already full of seal blubber. You cant make the situation better, but you can make it worse. - A black; you scream, yell, wave, throw rocks, appear large, aggressive and threatening and obviously fight if necessary. These are the easiest to dissuade, as they have no interest in a meal of your size. More interested in fish, rodents and berries. If you are between a black mom and its cub, grab the nearest weapon or stick and be prepared to fight like its a polar bear, this black will not stop until the threat is over. - A Grizz ... yes, cower and hide your parts as much as possible, remain quiet and still, and only fight for your life if you have to ... yelling and being big like a black, will only antagonize a Grizz and make it attack, they can not be frightened. They will only eat you if they are very hungry. A mom will also immediately attack you if you are between it and its cub. It will be instantly angry. - A brown ... can be very tricky as there are different kinds, many are just brown coloured black type behaviour bears, so those rules apply, but some others are more aggressive, and people might mistake a Grizzley for a brown and act wrong. Its hard to provide one line of advice for a non Grizzley brown bear, but the default is the same as Grizzley's. *If any bear actually attacks, fight back hard, use strike weapons or a gun aimed at the eye or inside the mouth, do not ever stop.

DON'T raise the area of a snakebite above the heart. This expedites the spread as gravity helps the blood, and the venom to get to the heart and the rest of the body quicker. Exactly the opposite of what you want. Place a tourniquet, keep the area BELOW heart level and lower the heat rate as much as possible, by lying still. Only move if it is necessary to get to help. The raising above the heart thing only applies to big wounds to limit blood loss, as that gets the blood away from the wound as fast as possible. Something you DON'T want in a snakebite.

Alcohol can help a little in situation of cold, if you drink it like 5-10 minutes before getting to warm shelter. It would increase heat loss, but increase peripheral blood supply reduce damage to skin and fingers. So if you know that source of heat is close (probably you see it) it might be useful, but in any other circumstances it would harm chances of survival in cold.

you dont punch the shark's nose after they attack you. you gently push their nose BEFORE it becomes an issue, to disorient and get it away from you. if its already attacking, you jab it in the eye with your thumb - no large motions required. 😂 just didnt know the advice properly on that one.
