18:38 a man is struggling to get free of quicksand. He has a blanket in front of him that he can spread out and lay across to paddle himself to safety. A jacket or even a shirt would help. If you're traveling in freezing weather, try to keep these in your vehicle: plenty of cardboard to stand or lay on. It'll keep you from freezing. A flat edge shovel for moving mud or snow if you're stuck. Lots of warm blankets(wool)Xtra clothes warm shoes and socks. Supply of emergency food and water in case you're stranded. Reflective emerg road signs so people can see you. Flashlight/Batts. First aid kit. A day pack in case you have to travel. This really FANTASTIC video! I learned so much. Thank You š«¶ š
I am a former combat medic, current first aid instructor and avid outdoorsman. The only one I take issue with is number 6: you can indeed use snow to rehydrate, the key is to have it melt in your mouth, not your stomach⦠so yes, do not āeatā show to rehydrate but rather let your mouthās warmth melt the snow before you swallow the melted snow. ⦠side warning, it is always best to do this while active so that you do not unintentionally cool yourself even more when already struggling to stay warm. Conversely, if you are being too active, sweat is a killer, so you then really need to eat snow to help prevent sweating when youāre still active. But as soon as you stop being active, switch to melt in your mouth before swallowing.
Fact 101: Car seat headrests are designed to pull out and used to break the window if trapped underwater or you don't like your windows.
The 911 tip is so accurate. I'm a former 911 operator and alot of callers go straight into their emergent details and I had to plead for them to answer where they are. You can give me your entire life story but I can't get help started until I know where to send them. Also, contrary to popular belief, we cannot track you like they show on TV. So the assumption that I will already know where you are is not a good assumption and can potentially lead to your death. First things first, give your location.
In dealing with a stroke, the FAST method is correct, however, the T for TIME means not only call for help quickly but ALSO for noting what time the symptoms started or what time you realized the need for help.
I remember learning about case where a woman was heard screaming late at night, after she was found dead, all those who heard her thought someone else would help, this case sparked a sociological study that coined the term bystander affect. Brilliant vid, learned a lot from this. Thank you x
Really love the way that you included help for mental health š something that is very easily overlooked
As an ophthalmologist myself, I must say #26 is wrong. It's not if you see a "white pupil", it's if there's one pupil reflecting light, and the other doesn't. The one that doesn't reflect light is the sick eye. In the case of the pic of the baby shown, the sick eye is the "black pupil" eye
That pupil reflection tip is how my cousin discovered his infant daughter had retinal cancer. She lost an eye, but is doing really well now.
2:51 I wish I knew this at 12! My friend and I almost drowned. Someone swam in, grabbed us, and pulled us on shore. Thank you to that person who saved us while we had a whole crowd lined up watchingšš¼š©
Another tip: chicken and pork need to be fully cooked to eat. With beef, if itās ground, donāt eat it rare like you can with steak, this is because most of the food born bacteria exists on the surface and during the grinding process, the surface bacteria gets pushed throughout the ground meat.
I had a stroke 5 weeks ago ~ I had ZERO classic signs...I had weakness, but could lift both arms, I felt like my tongue was heavy but not slurring with no face drooping, and all I can explain it as is I felt weird. The ER doctor admitted after my brain scan & MRI that he near sent me home without doing so! Be Careful with "Classic Symptoms".
No.36. Bee attack. If you run they will follow. If you are not near a shelter. Take a deep breath turn away, walk 10- 20ft. in a straight line. Lower your face to exhale and hide your eyes. You might get bite again but you are no longer a threat. Been there done that. For me it came naturally. My home was way up the hill. 5 bites instead of 50+š
Please more helpful list videos , very informative š
THANK YOU FOR SAYING NUMBER 91!!! I've dealt with alcohol withdrawal too many times, it even gave me a seizure 3 days AFTER I stopped drinking, even though it's legal, it's got the worst withdrawal of any drug, as it can be lethal.
āItās okay to ask for help if you are feeling depressedā¦ā YES. Absolutely! ā¤
If you have a flat tire while going around a corner, don't let off the gas. Instead, punch the gas. Centrifugal force keeps the tire round. This tip saved me when a screwdriver went thru my tire.
No 95. If a door is closed in in a room and you see the flames "Licking" out the bottom of the door. STAY AWAY..Anyone trapped behind the door is already dead. This is called "Dragon's Breath" and it means the flames are looking for oxygen. Flammable fumes are building up in the enclosed area, and will create an explosion if you open the door. In A perfect world, every room SHOULD have some form of fire-suppression, or at least in a centrally-accessible passage or hall, to stop smaller fires. Small fires get bigger in homes, so don't even risk it. Registered fire-Marshall here.
If u are walking and think ur being followed cross the street and then keep an eye behind u . If u notice the same person behind u, they could be following u . Get to public place at a fast pace , and call for help and stay at the public location til help arrives and give a description of person as best u can so the police can keep an eye out for similar problems with other people in the area. I live and have lived in some rough areas of town and have been followed and have used this method several times and I believe it saved me from being mugged or raped or other crimes . Remember if someone u donāt know acts to friendly that is suspect usually they have a motive for being that friendly and ofcourse never accept anything from someone on street u donāt know be polite but firm .
