"Always have baking soda at hand near the stove to put out fires. Never put out a fire on the stove or oven with water, in case there's grease. Always keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen or know where the closest one is in the building.

If you need to catch a falling knife, always do so with your hands flat and clap them closed. (I did this once at work.)

Get a carbon monoxide detector.

Take a CPR class, especially if you have kids, and retake it every few years.

If you're hiking in the snow, doing some winter camping, or anything where you might be outside in the cold, don't drink alcohol. It's not making you warm, it's lowering your internal body temperature, putting you at greater risk of hypothermia."

"Always have something with you made from rope. You can get cool key chains, belts, etc. that are made from strong rope. Tie a car shut, can't quite reach a hand, "lasso" a dropped object...so may sticky situations made better with rope."

"If you are out in the cold without enough clothing, homeless, etc, buy a newspaper, crumple it up and put it under your clothes. The crumpled newspaper creates pockets of air that will help keep you warm."

"Attach Your name-phone number-emergency contact-address to your coat/kid's coat

Never assume something is safe to eat because a deer/various other prey mammal ate it,they process some things different from us."
