"Always turn towards a skid" is the best traffic safety rule of thumb I've dealt with. Still had an accident due to exiting a highway during a bad rainfall but ended up not getting injured at all despite to hitting the median on the passanger's side of the car while driving alone, which totaled the car. I also didn't get a ticket because one of the cops mom's happened to have an accident at that exact spot on the same day but must not have turned towards because she ended up in the hospital.
Always remember to turn towards skids for traffic accidents due to slippy weather! This one should be on this list.

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 “eat” show to rehydrate but rather let your mouth’s 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 you’re still active. But as soon as you stop being active, switch to melt in your mouth before swallowing.
You can frostbite your lungs and such if you're exercising in extreem Cold weather. Very dangerous.
@@nicolwolfsinger3592 sure can, but there are easy ways to meditate this down to a non-factor. In the Canadian Army we regularly did afternoon runs outside in temps as low as -30c. No one ever got hurt by the cold air.
It sounds like it's 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. If it saves your life though..
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.
@
Brian Buckmaster also want to hit near the edges. It is harder to break a window in the center. If it is safety glass also a tiny piece of porcelain from a spark plug, for some toilets will shatter the huge window.
That’s not what they were designed for, but it could work but not all seat rest come off lol that’s just something said in a video and you believed it
@@isaaclope9154 Mine come off and that heavy metal can break a window.
@@imskeptic did you not read what I said, I said yes of course a metal can break a window that’s common sense but I’m saying they weren’t meant for breaking windows and not all car seats can come off that’s just some not all so it wasn’t made ins case you need to break a window
@@imskeptic but yea you can use it for that but don’t tell people that was it was intended to be use for
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 🫶 👍
You definitely have to be a mom. Either that or you should be. Your caring is coming straight through the internet. God bless you ❤💯
I just copied and pasted this in my notes...❤
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.
Thank you.
Called a back draft ain't it?
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.
What if you don't know your location?
@@keithangstadt4950 your Phone might have a compass on it with your coordinates
Exactly!
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
You should look up the story about Kitty Genovese. Her attack was sensationalized by the press and almost everything reported was false or inaccurate. Several people called the police and Kitty's neighbor left her apartment in her pajamas to help Kitty even though she didn't know if the killer had left or was still attacking. There's a really good documentary called The Witness.
It was kitty genovese but that article was incorrect. Many ppl DID call 911 and someone even held Kitty while they waited for cops to arrive. Still super sad, though
I know somebody else said that it was somebody named Kitty but perhaps they're wrong on that part because I know I've heard a story where there was a woman that was screaming out for help and people heard her but nobody called the cops or anything and they all had their different reasons you know either they thought somebody else would or there was moments where she had stopped screaming at times and so they figured that everything was okay until she started screaming again and then somebody said that they were just going to wait and see if the screaming was still happening in the morning however by that point it was too late I'm just curious if the story that you're talking about pertain to a woman who got locked into a bathroom closet that there was the water heater in it and she was unable to get out and was screaming for help and broke off a pipe from the water heater to try to break her way out however when she did that water started spraying in the water was freezing cold so ultimately she ended up dying from hypothermia cuz she was unable to escape the water being sprayed all over her and she eventually was found when she did not check out. Really sad story.
@Ana The story about the woman screaming on the sidewalk was Kitty Genovese. The newspaper reported that people saw it happen and did nothing. But that was a lie. Only a few people actually saw what was happening, but many more heard the screams and they did call the police.
The story about the woman getting stuck in the closet is something different.
Right! Same study that recommended anybody being accosted yelll "fire!!!", yes? Not just the assumption that someone else will get involved... the lack of motivation to be the 1 getting involved. I've always taught my kids "Karma credit". Just ask, if they don't need help you still earned it.
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
good to know but i feel like its just the way the light reflected.
Watching this video makes ppl paranoid lol.

Sometimes parranoia can be helpful. You never know what will encourage people to seek medical attention when they normally wouldn’t. Except in my husband’s case. He wouldn’t get help no matter what. I don’t remember why he ended up getting a chest xray but by the time he did he had a tumor in his chest that was inoperable. Radiation, chemo, steroids (the whole shebang) were useless. I’ve been a widow for 16 months.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my wife 3 years ago
My cousin is a photographer, so he took lots of photos of his kids from day 1. He noticed weird pupil reflection in a photo of his infant daughter, which he brought up at her next check-up. She had retinoblastoma. 18 months of surgery, radiation, and chemo later she was down an eye but alive. She's now a preteen and in great health.
I have always wondered what they were looking for! Thank u.
Another tip: chicken and pork need to be fully cooked to eat. With beef, if it’s ground, don’t 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.
Some pork doesnt
When i was a kid my mom would feed my sister and i, little raw hamburger balls, they were such a treat. amazingly, neither my sister or myself ever died from eating that raw hamburger nor fell ill. Today this could be considered child abuse.
I hate to admit it but I eat raw hamburger all the time
Thanks tips!!
I'm screwed then because I have been eating bits of raw hamburger since I was a kid. Raw bacon is good too.
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 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".
Were you given a beta blocker?
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.
Anton, how are you doing right now?
@Vanessa Stegall oh ok great, a seizure tends to make me not want to do something. That's why I quit drinking energy drinks too
I was hospitalized many years ago for heavy alcohol abuse & severe DELIRIUM TREMENS, and almost died..... while their, doctors told me the worst withdrawal symptoms are experienced by BENZODIAZEPINE ADDICTION.....I believe them....an APRN was in horrible agony for weeks while I was there.....she was a lifelong VALIUM & XANAX addict who probably wished she could die...... screaming in delirium & all of that.... never saw someone suffer like that.....
One day at a time...
“It’s okay to ask for help if you are feeling depressed…” YES. Absolutely! ❤
I have asked for help and nothing happened for a while, but eventually I did get help sort of... They gave me medicine for my depression. It did nothing or at least it doesn't feel like it, but it's not like I can just stop taking it, I have to have a doctor help me get off of it otherwise withdrawal symptoms happen and I do not want that again. My mom said that it made me look more alert, awake and a bit better, but honestly, I think my depression got worse after she said that to my hematologist ;-; I just want to go to sleep and never wake up again and because my THREE prescribed medicines for it doesn't help and they can't go up or down on them and talking about it only makes me even more angry than I already was makes me even more angry and sad... I don't know what to do, but it's not like I can k1ll myself anyways. The Universe and God won't let me... Apparently I'm the Chosen One, God's Living Word, Moon Goddess, strongest angel, smartest and wisest being, God's right-hand angel(use to be. and fk Him), and The Protector and Server of all living things(that's what I call a true Mom... huh, like Mother Nature... What if I *AM* Mother Nature?!?!!? The fourth God?!?! :c)
TIME FOR MORE EXPERIMENTS!!!
Really love the way that you included help for mental health 🙏 something that is very easily overlooked
Please more helpful list videos , very informative 😄
THANK YOU! I am so glad you put this list up. I am even more thankful that you busted the extremely dangerous myth that you have to wait until a person has been missing for 24 hours before the police will do anything. I wish it was illegal to put that myth in movies and television. Way too many people don't know that it is not true.
I thought that was busted a long time ago lol
If you are lost and need to make a camp fire. And if you supply matches and a bag of potato chips, use them to make a fire. Make a small pile of potato chips and light a match. The chips make a good fire starter, because the oil on the chips catches fire quickly enough for you to make a camp fire.
Never thought of that If! But to be real, if I were lost I probably would have already eaten the chips so I would use the bag which still has some oil stains 😅👍
@@deboraballes9044 Good point 😁
Dry moss or leaves are good fuel. For sparks tou can strike certain rough stones together.
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.
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 don’t 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 don’t know be polite but firm .
If legal in your state, have a CCW permit, and learn how to use a pistol!
If you find a cookie under your doormat, call the police. That means your house is being targeting by burglars, and they're trying to see if you're home or not. If they see that the cookie is not crushed, it means you're most likely not home, and they can break in. (I re-posted this comment because I was tired of all the negative replies)
If you find a cookie under your doormat…
Place the cookie ON TOP of the doormat, wrapped in a note which reads, “No thank you…. I never snack until after I’ve finished cleaning ALL OF my guns.”

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.
You forgot tetanus or lockjaw, which is one of the most serious, painful and life-threatening conditions. Most people falsely associate it with stepping on a rusty nail. You can more likely get tetanus if a wet / rotten splinter penetrates your tissue deep enough to introduce the bacteria that cause tetanus into the bloodstream. The bacteria thrive in fertile soil and damp environments, and once in your bloodstream, they release a powerful neurotoxin that causes muscle spasms strong enough to break your bones. Please keep up to date on your tetanus shots people!
How can we keep up with tetanus vaccines when we can't trust our government with exactly what is in them?
They didn't forget to include it. They just didn't. There's plenty of other safety hacks out there for future episodes.
The association with stepping on a rusty nail isn’t necessarily wrong. They didn’t forget it, either. They just didn’t include it.
You talking about botulinum toxin which can cause tetanus or botulism the difference is tetanus causes paralysis from the feet upwards as opposed to botulism which causes paralysis from the head down

Here’s my contribution - 1 Fact that could save your life one day… The feeling of cobwebs against your skin is never a pleasant surprise. If you are ever in this situation and the cobwebs feel really thick and stronger than most, quickly move away and check to be sure a black widow isn’t hitching a ride. Their webs are noticeably different than other spider’s.
doubly important for funnel web spiders when you are in Australia.
I get bit by red backs all the time, they’re not that bad
The bit about heart attack signs left one out: Incessant, unexplained, severe and sudden heartburn. If you’re not prone to heartburn and haven’t eaten anything that can tend to cause you heartburn when combined with the other symptoms mentioned means it could be urgent and you need immediate assistance. This may seem like nitpicking but someone could possibly not realize they’re in danger because they don’t know heartburn’s a potential symptom so it’s “probably nothing”. Knowing this fact saved my life.
ALSO: Adding to the fact about not mixing bleach and ammonia, do not clean up urine with bleach for this exact reason. There can be tons of ammonia in urine, especially pet urine. I learned that the hard way when I chlorine gassed myself trying to clean up a pet mess.
I’m just gonna keep adding to this every time I catch something: If you are actively suicidal please call 911. If you are feeling suicidal but feel as if just talking to someone would help, call 988. If you call the “emergency hotlines” attached to some psychiatric hospitals the person who answers may not be properly trained to communicate with suicidal people and could threaten to send police to your house (if you’ve given them your address) even if you’re no longer suicidal. 911 and 988 (the National Suicide Hotline) operators are all trained on how to speak to suicidal individuals. Source? My own, personal experiences.
If I could 👍 your comment a thousand times, I would. I'm glad you pulled through - I did, too.💕💕
Rian & Kristine - Very, very glad you are both still here. The world would be less than what it is without either of you in it.

In case of a kitchen fire, grab the baking soda, snuffs grease fires safely every time.
Ah nice! Thanks!
We always used salt. I have a big thing of salt by the stove for this reason. I don't use table salt in food. I use Himalayan pink salt in cooking.

Never toss water on a grease fire!
Also use salt on grease fire too!
When removing stingers, don't use tweezers or your fingers; this can cause more venom to get squeezed into you. Use something like a credit card or another flat hard object to scrape it out.
If you run out of gas in an emergency and need to go another 10 miles, pee or dump a bottle of water into your tank. The reason it works is because gasoline is lighter than water so it floats on the surface, raising the fuel in the tank so you can drive it. Of course you start off slow, so as not to slosh the fuel around too much.
interesting. Won't that damage the engine?
Gas is drawn from the bottom of the tank. You'll flood the cylinders and kill the engine. However, if you're driving over uneven terrain that agitates the fluids in the tank, diluting gas with water will give you a slight extra driving range by virtue of the mixture lasting longer, even though the engine will run like crap.

In the United States, change the batteries in your smoke detectors when you are resetting your clocks from daylight saving and standard times. The cost of the batteries is far less than your life is worth.
Rubber gloves are great for storing water too. Especially surgical gloves.
Yes, machinery can be dangerous. My late mother got her arm caught in a old fashioned wringer washer when her coat sleeve got caught in the wringer.
I used to run my own to the ringer all the time when I was a kid
When I was a child in the 50’s our machines were in the basement. One day the phone rang and Mom told me to stay away from the washer. Of course I messed around and ended up with my arm in the ringer up to my shoulder. 12/17122
My daughter put my rubber gloves thru, finger part last and the result was I thought someone was shooting a gun five times😲
If there is a thick smoke during a fire dont try to walk and get past it, get down on the floor and crawl towards any possible exit, usually there is a space where the smoke does not reach the bottom of the floor.
Can you try to use cloth as a barrier as well? I was surprised they didn't mention that
If you are stuck in a train, that is a) in a tunnel b) was driving upwards and c) some part of the train caught fire. You need to get out of the train and then run downwards(!) in direction of the source of the fire. While this may seem counterintuitiv at first, running upwards and hence away from the source of fire, means running in the same direction the smoke goes. If the end of the tunnel isn't near, the smoke will suffocate you. If you run downwards, you are safe once you passed the source of the fire.
This incident happened in Germany known as the "Kaprun disaster" with 155 people dead.
I learned #7 in the Boy Scouts. I wondered in what situation would I have a 9-volt battery and steel wool, but not matches.
I learned #85 as "Reach, throw, row, go." If you have to go, grab the person from behind so their panic-induced grabbing won't affect you as much.
Related to #66, take off your shoes, socks and pants if you find yourself treading water. It will be a lot easier to tread and swim.
This video greatly overestimates my ability to think clearly in an emergency.
The one I’ll remember is 73. If I have to pee, do it on a shark, not a toilet.
After a car crash FIRST turn OFF the key. Cutting power to a running engine WILL PREVENT FIRE from starting between sparks and spilled gas or oil.

Oh true he helped my daughter’s and her 3 friends in an accident that she was the only one to walk away from.. I’m glad she survived but the whole god is watching over us tale is garbage

So they forgot to tell you something about having to jump into water from a height.
They mentioned go feet first with your arms close to your side.
However, it's also important to squeeze your buttocks tightly together.
This prevents a powerful jet of water from pushing up into your rectum which is typically fatal.
ask me how I know that...

If you are in Britain, Japan or other places that drive on the left, be very careful when you cross the street. Your instincts tell you to look left first. The reverse is important in those places.
As an American…
I habitually check the “wrong” direction first, then quickly alternate my attention back and forth until I am safely across…. Even when crossing a one way street.
I look both ways. Great tip though.
For many years women were not thought to fall victims to heart attacks. This is ridiculously untrue. Heart disease does not pick and choose. Sometimes, to this day, it’s difficult to convince doctors that women can and do have heart attacks. And as with men, young women are capable of having heart attacks!! Please learn the symptoms of heart attack in women because we don’t always have the same symptoms. I didn’t have arm pain, I didn’t have nausea, didn’t sweat, but I did have painful pressure right in the middle of my chest. When I had my cardiac cath the doc found a vessel (right ascending coronary artery) almost completely blocked. It could have been deadly if I didn’t insist on going to the hospital. Don’t try and brush off chest pain. Yes it can be stress or GERD! But if you aren’t living a stressful life and you aren’t having problems after eating, start looking 👀 in the direction of the ticker! Check the American Heart Association website for more information!!
I was pleased to see the info about the different heart attack symptoms women experience: I've had four heart attacks and none of them started with chest pain but with jaw pain a bit like toothache. In spite of being on very many medications I still have very occasional angina attacks and don't wait to see if they'll develop into heart attacks and I don't go anywhere without angina spray and high dose aspirin.
If an airbag goes between your legs, I don’t think legs will be the only thing broken.

#83 is wrong. The most likely survivors of plane crashes are the ones who are closest to the exits. 75% of plane crashes are survivable but you better have a plan worked out to know exactly which exit you're going to take before the tragedy strikes.
Actually, the back of the aircraft IS the safest place. Being by an exit may help, especially if it is at the back.
Cheers!
@@machupikachu1085 Hey there, I'll share an excerpt from an interview with Ben Sherwood, the author of "The Survivors Club."
Q: You write in your book about attending an FAA workshop on surviving plane crashes. What were some of the most important tips that you can recall from that session?
A: I learned several things. There's the five-row rule. When a professor in England, Ed Galea, analyzed the seating charts of more than 100 plane crashes and interviewed 1,900 survivors and 155 cabin-crew members, he discovered that survivors usually move an average of five rows before they can get off a burning aircraft. That's the cutoff. In his view - and he's done a lot of statistical analysis - the people who are most likely to survive a plane crash are people who are sitting right next to the exit row or one row away. Not a particular exit row but any exit row. That's the person most likely to survive. Beyond a five-row cutoff from the exit, your chances, in his view, are greatly reduced. So the first thing I think about when I get on a plane or when I'm making my flight plans is, "Where am I sitting?"
Let's just hope neither one of us ever has to test these theories, right? Happy New Year!
@@thebigjimmyd thanks for the perspective. I was told about the safety of the rear seats from my uncle who is an F-18 instructor for the US navy, and also flies 787 Dreamliners on international routes. His insight was verified by the research I found conducted by the FAA.
Imma gonna take your advice into account however, and try to obtain an exit seat in the back on my next flight.
Cheers!
@@machupikachu1085 I'm 6'5" so I always take an exit row seat for the extra legroom anyway.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the distinction between our information is my data is looking at "survivable" plane crashes - ie crashes where at least half the plane survives - and yours is looking at the total aggregate of crashes. Your uncle sounds like a badass! lol He's probably got a ton of cool stories.
The key ring thing happened to my sister. She used to have tons of keys and multiple padlocks on her key chain! The weight caused her to get a short in her starter.
If half of the fatalities from car wrecks came from people who were not wearing their seat belt wouldn't that mean the other half were wearing seat belts🤔
Yes, but wearing your seat belt won't protect you from being decapitated from the back of a Simi tractor trailer if you are following too close, and they put on their brakes....LOL.
The same if you're drunk and you hit something at a high rate of speed 🤣....Wearing your seat belt may not save you every time, but not wearing it is almost a garentee that you will get harmed, or die.
@@rogertaylor7433 every time I've been decapitated I wasn't wearing my seat belt... now every time I ride my motorcycle I wear my seat belt

Yes, & I see your point but you're leaving a lot of important elements out of the equation, such as the many fatalities in which a seat belt fails to save someone where the entire issue was irrelevant, such as if a rock came through your windshield, or your car flipped multiple times, or a pipe or board comes off a truck in front of you on the freeway or comes in the back windshiels from one behind you at a stop, & there are a lot of other types of accidents that cause fatalities that a seat belt can't save someone.
There are even a limited number of accidents in which seatbelt causes fatalities the person may have survived if not wearing one, but if a person has any sense they'll play the odds & wear one.
If you are driving on a highway at night, stay in the far right lane. Most wrong-way crashes happen at night and in the far left lane because the wrong way driver thinks they are driving in the "slow lane"
Wow didn't know a fire extinguisher will put out fire?! lord can I Have my common sense back oh and the 10 wasted watching this
What?
@georgec7782 Your advice is actually pertinent. I used to act as "designated driver" for my former hubster...dropping him off & cheerfully picking him when he decided to come home...until one night (after we became parents) I was driving to pick him up and had I been in any but the curb lane, I would have likely been struck head on by a car which broke through a divided highway to careen towards oncoming traffic.
I had our two sons in the car: a two year old and an infant. A light switch moment as I realized I was NOT being a responsible mother as I realized most of the cars during these small hours were being driven by drunks. That was the LAST TIME I drove him, as I refused to endanger our cherished boys.

The comment about buying a fire extinguisher b4 needed is correct. However, you need to learn the proper way to use it, or you'll never put the fire out.
It's called the PASS method. Pull, Aim, Squeeze & Sweep at the base of the fire.
Also, know that not all extinguishers are designed for every type of fire. Research the letters A, B, C & K (which used to be D). Each letter explains what type of fire that extinguisher is used for.
Truth. I purchased my fire extinguisher after the fire and it didn't help at all.
Off Santa Cruz beach one afternoon I did get caught in a rip tide...scared the hell out of me!! But I remember the old salt and swam parallel to the beach and it worked
Same in Capitola
As a child i got caught in a rip tide. I instinctly swam parallel to the shore because it made no sense to fight it. Eventually it passed and i swam to shore. Wasnt afraid as i didnt see the danger. Just figured it would pass. Had never heard of rip tide so wasnt afraid. Yrs later i understood what happened

As a former GHB user (addict) I never thought GHB really had a salty taste, however it is extremely bitter and unpleasant, so when it's mixed with other flavors it's more like those flavors are distinctly more bitter (like adding expresso to coffee, it's more bitter but still that flavor)
Thank you! In enough water it’s completely tasteless. By itself the taste is basically exactly what you THINK dishwashing liquid would taste like. If anything its thickish and gloopy but not salty.
If your girlfriend is changing clothes, and she asks you if she looks fat?. . . ALWAYS say "No"
Day made 😂😂this is so funnt
Yeah, dishonesty is always the best choice.
I don’t know if “no” is the RIGHT answer…
But I can assure you…
“I’m pretty sure your big ass is what’s making you look fat…”, is one of the WRONG answers 😂
The right anser is "that's nothing look at me . Neutral ground.

Cool. Thanks for those useful tips. I honestly did not know about the sun on the horizon & holding out your hand to count the amount of time till it’s dark out…
Generally works great depending on where you are.
That's a very important tip.
Thank you for this!
Picking and eating wild mushrooms is very common in my part of the world (Norway). But someone always accidently eats the wrong kind. Not many though, and they very seldom die, but their kidneys is severly damaged of course.
I only pick the ones that are impossible to mistake for a dangerous one. To bad not to use nature's free gifts....
In the Netherlands everybody is is too scared to pick mushrooms because of the chance they pick a poisones one. but there are many you absolutely can't mistake for a poisones mushroom. more for me!

I had an attack of Bells Palsy, and I thought I was having a stroke. I was taken to Saint Agnes Medical Center, where they ran several tests, and discovered the Bells Palsy.

I did too, recovered about 6 weeks later. So scary.

If you are driving and snowy weather and you begin to slide out of control turn your wheel in the same direction in which your vehicle is sliding. This seems like the opposite of what you would want to do because it's natural to try to want to turn the other way to straighten your path. However you first need to turn into the direction you're sliding because that will allow your wheels to align with the path. Even though I know this I still have to remind myself when driving during winter storms it's so natural to want to turn the wheel right to straighten out when you actually need to first turn it line the tires up with the tracks being made by the slide
Thanks for the tips that I hope I will never have to use but I know what to do if needed😊
If your girlfriend asks if "these pants make me look fat" the answer is always NO!
I prefer to use "It's not the pants, hun".
That's probably one of the greatest life-saving tips of all time!!
Never in my 22 years of marriage did I ever ask my husband that question. Actually, never in my entire life have I ever asked that question to anybody, not did I think the mirror was lying.
awesome video, great information
I actually had to Heimlich myself one time. Sesame Street taught me how when I was little. You can use the back of a hard chair to do the Heimlich on yourself. You need to do it hard though. I had a huge ORANGE bruise right under my sternum for to weeks.
If you're on a highway and notice red reflectors on the ground, stop! You are going the wrong way. Road reflectors are white on one side and red on the other.
My chimney and fireplace caught on fire about 4 years ago. It was super scary, and the smoke alarm blaring and smoke billowing out only added to the chaos the situation. Thankfully I got it out; but am now obsessed with having fire extinguishers in key areas (kitchen, living room, bedroom). The best $100 I ever spent. Please learn from my mistake and buy some on Amazon- they are way cheaper than they used to be, and will give you nice peace of mind.
A chimney or fireplace should be regularly ie yearly cleaned of creosote(wood tar) to prevent such fires.
Handy to know! I was a member of The Boy Scouts, so, I actually knew a lot of these. Thanks for the ones I didn’t though!
listen to the gas one. when i was in primary school in milltimber in aberdeen scotland in 1983 i saw and heard a massive explosion. it was the result of a hotel/pub two suburbs over the royal darroch hotel going up when one of the waitresses went downstairs to check the cellar turned on the lights and set off the gas which has leaked into the room from a damaged pipe.
Same exact thing happened in 1991 at our grain elevator. After the propane exploded, 100 years of grain dust went up.
Ever notice that when someone from the gas company shows up to check a suspected gas leak…. They NEVER RING THE BELL?
If you finish work late at night have a co worker or security guard walk with you to your car, so you don't get assaulted by someone or robbed at night
or get assaulted by the coworker or security guard wearing a mask.

Reminds me of the “dumbest criminals” video in which a store was broken into by a mall security guard who thought to wear a mask…. But did nothing to conceal his uniform.
Edited to emphasize: THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY SITUATIONS THAT REQUIRE A TOURNIQUET!!!
A tourniquet can absolutely save a life, it just needs to be applied ONLY to save a life. May need to edit this ‘fact’ in case someone remembers it at the wrong time. Previously it was thought that any major cut was in need of a tourniquet, but now it’s only if direct pressure doesn’t work, or you need to focus on airways/breathing, when the limb no longer matters in order to save the life. IE if someone’s leg is crushed and the femur is gushing blood, repositioning the leg won’t help. A tourniquet shutting off the femoral is the only option at that point or they will almost certainly bleed out. Please please check the misinformation.
So many of these say ‘see a doctor’, but, what if you live in the US and don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars just laying around?!
All emergency room are supposed to to see and treat you if you have money or not ! By not treating you they can be shut down !!
16:37 "If a stranger tries to force you into their car, fight back and scream"

If someone is hyperventilating find a paper bag and fold the edges inward to make a soft surface. Have the Patient place the bag over their mouth and nose and continue to breathe. Within 10 breaths they will stop Hyperventilating.

That crouching idea about lightning is not a good idea, just run away, from the area and any tree or metal large object. I've done that twice and avoiding being hit.
UK evelators don't fall unless the building they are in is in catastrophic collapse, because they have safety brakes built into their systems, but they might still go a little too fast, in which case stand or sit against the sides and get out as soon as you can, reporting the fault and if you get stuck in an elevator in the UK, call the 999 emergency service number which is free, and ask for the fire brigade, and an ambulance if you are injured.
Always use a safety chain on your door, if someone comes to your door, even if you are expecting them.
Sit in the middle carriage of a train, to avoid the worst effects of a train crash. Do not try to jump out of or on to a moving train, car or bus, etc, even if an entrance to the vehicle is open. Don't jump on your car if it's being stolen, you could be injured or killed. Instead immediately report it and send a video of it being driven away to the police.

If your diagnosed with cancer no matter how extreme test your bodies pH level.most likely it will be on the acid side , work to change your bodies pH level back to alckaline. Cancer thrives in an acid environment and most will die with out it much like taking a fish out of water.. unfortunately the FDA requires a drug or treatment to be man made to be pursued or prescribed in America so this fact is overlooked..
Having your weapons unloaded and behind locks can cost you precious time in the event your home is being invaded. Biometric locked vaults can keep your loaded weapon nearby, available and still safe.
Packing cayenne pepper powder in a deep wound will clot the blood instantly and prevent bleeding out while waiting for EMS to help

In my old work my supervisor would use bleach and floor cleaner mixture for cleaning the floors, and I mentioned how it was dangerous and unnecessary (it was a cafe lol) and they all thought I was dramatic, but when I was cleaning I never used the bleach part just the cleaner they were so stupid lol
Right, there is no need to over sanitize something if 5 minutes later someone will walk over it. Excessive cleaning is actually bad for you
I was eating at a Wendy's once, and the cleaning guy thought it would be quicker to clean the bathrooms with ammonia and bleach. It only took a few seconds to knock him out, and he was a big guy! They had to evacuate the whole place, as the cloud was drifting into the dining area. I was told later that he survived after being taken to an ER. The EMTS had to wear gas masks to go in and get him out.
A life saving fact: When lost in the woods, try to look for a fir tree, you can eat part of it. Cut off the bark and scoop out the white stuff and eat it. It may not taste nice, but it will save your life. 👍

Here's some life saving advice. If you go into debt with the cartel, give them a truck. They like trucks. It worked for my cousin, it could work for almost anyone. I'm happy to report, not only is he alive, he got his life together, too. I'm dead serious about this, but my best advice is, just don't get involved that sort of thing to begin with!
I’m sure the efficacy of this tip is somewhat relative to the “depth” of your debt obligation.

I used an empty portable ice chest as a floaty and to break ice to get two of my dogs out of a frozen pond. Worked really well. The handles made it easy to use and it's hard enough to break the ice but light enough to lift multiple times and makes the whole wide enough to get through.
