"If you have a nosebleed, tilt your head back.
You should really lean forward while pinching the soft part of your nose closed so all the blood doesn’t run down the back of your throat into your stomach and make you vomit. If you have blood in your mouth from this already, spit it out or let it run out.
People love to argue about this and I’ll never understand why."

A lot of these "water" tips: technically true but if you're faced with a choice between drinking pee and maybe messing up your kidneys... and dying of thirst... its pretty clear what the smart choice is

#26 Well, why not??? It would help if they would say WHY it's a bad idea. Personally, I've yet to see a tornado peel a bridge up and blow it away. You get up under the abutment and you can sit there pretty as you please while the tornado just scoops up all the people laying in the ditch.

#3 Anyway, train to be at least competent at boxing. Then you'll have a better chance if you absolutely have to fight.

Clair,
I hope the assholes who downvoted you get mugged, sodomized and shot by some Monkey-Poxed Haitian someday. They probably look like my avatar.

Yes but warms up to usable temps in your hand or mouth. (Alaskans are actually trained to always have a lighter and a knife).
My Jr High did survival training on a mini island in Alaska, I got "Best solo survivalist".
1. Air
2. Water
3. Shelter
4. Warmth/fire
5. Food
6. (I forget) maybe communication or tools?
7. Entertainment (very important to survival alone or with others)
Hard to tell if some of these are meant as Do's or Don'ts, but I can say, don't do deadly dangerous things for low value items. I've known a trained Coast Gaurd who drowned while trying to retrieve a fishing hook stuck on a bouy, while stupidly fishing off a beach in waders during a rainstorm.

#38 I know two dogs that survived 4 days trapped under a landslide, because they were sleeping on the couch and the fallen roof made a triangle with the back.

ALSO, when lost as a pair, always stay together. I know people who have died on mountaintop or while lost I the woods because they sent their partner for help, and then left the location their partner left them, or their partner didn't make it and they did because they stayed put. Just go together or stay together.
