Today I’m going to do my extra oral presentation in which I’m going to present some
tips and tricks to survive in extreme conditions.
The principle aim of this oral presentation is not only to highlight some of the best
survival tips but also to possibly save your life one day.
Here it is a list of some survival tips.
But how many times have you seen this, how many youtube videos and tiktoks have
you seen
And have you ever asked yourself if this tips would actually save your life
So today for my extra oral presentation I’m actually going to present some tips and
tricks that we see constantly in social media platforms and search platforms that could
actually get you killed.
Here are some survival tips that would actually get you killed:
“If a bear is ever chasing you just run downhill because bears can’t run downhill”
You can barely run downhill I think whoever started this just wanted to see their friend
get mauled by a bear
Because bears can run down hill at a shocking speed
“If you’re ever out lost somewhere be sure to ration your water. That way it’ll last you
longer.”
Lots of hikers have been found dead with plenty water on them because they decided
to ration it, got dehydrated and didn’t realize it.
So just drink your water when you’re thirsty if it only lasts like a couple of hours. It’s
going to keep your mind and body working.
“If you’re ever out lost in the extreme cold drink some alcohol to warm you up”
Alcohol actually lowers your body temperature.
You feel warmer because your blood vessels are dilatating. But this is just making you
lose more heat and you’re more likely to die from hypothermia.
Myth: You need to find a food supply immediately if you are lost in the wilderness.
Fact: Not even close. You can survive up to six weeks without food. The exact amount
of time might vary, depending on starting point and other health issues, but water and
shelter from the elements are far more important.
Avoid hairy insects, have bright colours, and have stingers.
If you’re dying of thirst, drink your urine.
Fact: It’s one thing to drink dilute (pale) urine, which is 95 percent water. But the more
times you pass it through your system, the more toxic the effect on your kidneys. Still,
at what point it does more harm than good is a gray area.
. In a desert, you can drink water from a cactus.
Fact: The pulp from prickly pear and various barrel cacti contains some nontoxic fluid,
but its chemical content can induce diarrhea and vomiting, which hasten dehydration.
You’re better off seeking water in rock crevasses.
If you get buried in an avalanche, spitting will help determine what direction to
dig out.
Reality:
Spitting probably won’t help much because the snow around you would be too
dense and compact. Snow is roughly one-tenth the density of water, but snow
following an avalanche is at least double that—and sometimes exceeds the
density of the same snow pre-avalanche due to how dense and compact it is. “The
snow is no longer that fluffy powder we like to play in,” Brant-Zawadzki says.
“Instead, it’s basically concrete. Even if you knew which way was up or down, the
ability to dig yourself out is more or less impossible. Just being under a foot of
cubic snow can translate into hundreds of kilograms weighing on your body.”
