"If you live in an area with tornados, wear sturdy shoes in your safe place. If the worst happens, you will at least have good shoes on to clean up the aftermath."

"Eat and drink normally the first few days while you're setting up your shelter. It's more important to have enough energy to get you set up for the long term, so you can spend the rest of your time sleeping if you need to. Part of the shelter should be making a big sign for help. 3 straight lines, Xs, SOS if you can.

Food requires water to digest. Don't ration/save the food if you know you won't get more water."

"Do not consider yourself as a main character, where everything is gonna be ok. Always think twice.. Bad thins happens with you too."

"If you're lost, in trouble, or being followed/harassed, it's far better to just pick a person and ask for help rather than relying on someone who offers. Most people are willing to help you if you ask with a specific request and someone volunteering might just be seeing a situation where they can take advantage of your vulnerability. The best person to ask is a woman with children with her followed by a man with children with him. People with children are more likely to be decent to set a good example for their kids in public and if they are a garbage human being will behave in front of their kids."

"If you smell fish for no reason at all, check your appliances. It could be an electrical fire. If everyone around you drops to the ground, drop to the ground. If there is ever a shooting at your school, office, ect, once you are clear to evacuate, keep your eyes straight ahead. Seeing dead bodies could cause you to develop PTSD."

"If you are lost in the countryside, follow water. Almost all towns, villages, cities are built near water. Folllowing water will mean you dont go in circles, have a ready source of drinkable water and are more likely to find civilisation. Depending on what you are carrying you may also be able to catch fish as well."

"Hiking: If unfamiliar, take a map or compass. If you have a dog with you, follow your dog. Their sense of direction is amazing. I should have paid attention to mine when I was lost. She headed in the right direction and me thinking it was wrong, told her to follow me; ended up walking in circles until I found my way out. Bring water and food that won't spoil."
