[Music] so a huge black bear is chasing you or you're stuck in the forest during a wildfire or your hands are trapped in a cable tie or maybe all at the same time so you're having a day huh no matter how hopeless the situation might seem there's always a smart way out find out how to save yourself pay attention if you're trapped under an avalanche spitting can help you out as soon as you stop moving make a little hole around your face spit in the air pocket and see where gravity carries your saliva then start making your way out by digging in the opposite direction if suddenly you notice that the water recedes quickly and unexpectedly from a beach exposing the ocean floor you should warn everyone around and get away as fast as you can because when the water line is abnormally far from the shore this is a sign of a tsunami no air pump and a flat tire is a bad combo when you're far from home to fix your bike grab a bunch of grass or leaves and evenly pack the tire with as much as possible that will be enough to reach a safe place now do you know any other tricks to fix a flat tire without an air pump share your wisdom in the comments below if you're under attacked by a moose those creatures are huge try to hide behind a tree those animals have a blind spot in their peripheral vision so they will lose you and you can escape easier if a black bear is chasing you remember that you shouldn't turn your back on this animal or try to run either of these actions can make them hostile your best bet is to lie flat on your stomach to protect your organs crossing your hands behind your neck to guard your arteries to convince the bear you don't pose any threat also don't climb a tree they do it better than you oh and if you see Yogi Bear don't try to look like a picnic basket he'll steal you every time in case of emergency water landing don't inflate your lifejacket before getting out of the play you'll end up not being able to move without help since you'll float up to the cabin ceiling the safest thing to do is take a deep breath and swim out of the airplane taking your deflated lifejacket with you only when you're out of the plane you can finally pull the inflation cord if you're in a cold house and no heating or electricity is available for some reason find a few large bricks a terracotta pot and some candles light the candles and put the bricks around them then cover the candles with an upside-down pot placing it on the bricks now you have a DIY heater that can heat a whole room if caught in a fire keep low to the ground the greatest threat comes not from the fire itself but the smoke since it's lighter than air it goes up so you should stay as close to the floor as possible to avoid breathing it in if you're accidentally caught in a rip current don't try to fight it and swim straight back to the shore you'll just get exhausted too soon instead try to swim parallel to the shore until you exit the current and only then move toward the shore if you're trapped on thin ice and there's no one to help you lie down on your stomach and spread out your arms and legs if you have ice picks use them as a grip to get back to safety if you don't have them then you'll have to roll away in the same direction you came from this will help to spread out the weight of your body evenly if you're in a sinking vehicle you'll probably try to just open the door but water pressure won't let you you can do it only when the car is filled with water and the pressure equalizes if you're stuck break the window but do it the right way hit the window not in the center but on the edges if you manage to remove the headrest from the seat then use it to break the glass the headrests are different depending on the car model so make sure you know how to remove the ones in your car if someone is keeping you against your will and your hands are tied by a cable tie first untie your shoelaces slip one of them through the cable tie loop and then secure it to the other shoelace tightly now keeping your hands close to your chest kick both legs as if you're cycling the friction created by these movements should make the cable tie snap if you hear the security announcement while traveling by plane and the emergency exits are made known be sure to count how many rows it will take to get to the closest one if the plane gets filled with smoke or there's no light during the evacuation you could count the number of headrests until you reach your exit your pre-planned counting could also help others get out if in an emergency you need to get through a locked door kick hard right next to the handle near the lock and avoid using their shoulders or back the lock will break more easily not running away from a pack of wolves might sound like a very bad idea to say the least but it will in fact eventually make them back off their instinct is to chase their prey if you stand your ground they probably won't risk it if you happen to start choking when no one is around to help you can perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself by using a hard surface like the back of a chair or a table push one fist with your other hand into your stomach while bent over a hard surface when you're diving out in the open water and suddenly see all the fish have disappeared or started jumping out of the water get to the shore quickly it means that sharks are getting closer the same sign works for the forest with smaller animals and predators sudden quietness run to find a shelter if you're caught in a raging fire you should immediately protect your lungs from toxic ash smoke and dust in this case a bra will save the day use one of its cups as a debris mask by covering your nose and mouth with it secure the straps around your face to attach it to your head as for the guys well you could start wearing one just to be on the safe side if you don't have the right batteries for vital devices such as radio or flash you can use shorter batteries with a little trick take a piece of aluminum foil and fill the gap in the battery compartment with it got lost use your watch as a compass in the northern hemisphere align the hour hand with the Sun south will be at the point halfway between the hour hand and the number 12 in the southern hemisphere align the number 12 with the Sun to get clean water take two containers one should be taller than the other fill the taller one with dirty water and place a piece of cloth in it sticking the other end in the other container after some time the water will filter itself through the cloth leaving all the dirt in the first container but you still have to boil the water you know for the little microbes that are still in it if you're looking for a place to hide inside your house during a tornado choose a bathtub it's the safest place in any home since a tub is well anchored to the ground besides most bathrooms have strong framing and the pipes help keep their structure together so good luck with all
