Survival Hacks That Might Save Your Life

[@erictaylor5462]

#9 Also dryer lint makes VERY good tinder. It is cheap and easy to get in abidance for anyone who wears clothing on a regular basis. In fact dryer lint burns so well it is often implicated in accidental house fires. Make sure your laundry area is free of lint build up, but don't throw it out. Save it for camping.

[@JimFortune]

Can you imagine how unlikely it is that you will get lost while carrying your clothes dryer around?

[@erictaylor5462]

Jim Fortune Collect the lint before you co hiking and carry a bag of the stiff in your back pack.

[@JimFortune]

Shawana Washington Wool can give interesting aromas.

[@erictaylor5462]

Shawana Washington I've never had dryer lint not burn well.

[@christinamarshall681]

Eric Taylor I never heard of this, but it's really brilliant!

[@IronheadOfScroteus]

Tampons also make great fire starters. Pull it apart until you have a big bird's nest wad. Really easy to light with sparks.

[@loveinchrist7585]

IronheadOfScroteus Why do you know that? 😂

[@IronheadOfScroteus]

Im King Lol, it's on another video here somewhere, and I'm married. I have access. It really works.

[@stijnvisser7306]

Im King other youtubers duh

[@TheVergile]

tho in a survival situation or post apocalyptic scenario tampons and other hygiene articles will quickly become a rare and valuable commodity. Fire starting materials are easy to gather in nature. Tampons aren't. So I wouldn't do so unless its your last resort ;)

[@stijnvisser7306]

Uses for tampons in survival situations: water filter, firestarter, plant dirt, emergency for women, air filter, toilet paper, blood stopper, floss, drain plug, water container

[@leahs.147]

You can bring a few pencil sharpeners (the blade gets worn down fast). They are actually pretty useful! 1. You can sharpen sticks and use them for arrows, spears, etc. 2. The wood inside can be used for kindling 3. Small ones don't take up much space in a backpack or bag 4. You can use the blade inside for carving sticks and other things, it's like a tiny knife

[@leahs.147]

Here's another one: If you get lost, *DO NOT* look for food or make shelter first. The first thing to do is *FIND WATER.* BUT make sure you filter and boil it, because you reeaally don't want to get sick or die. You have to find water first because humans can go weeks without food, and only a few days without water. Next find shelter, THEN think about finding food. You can hunt or gather plants, but if you gather, make sure you know exactly 100% what the plant is, and don't eat any mysterious berries, because this can mean that difference between life and death.

[@leahs.147]

Annnnd don't drink urine... It can really dehydrate you.

[@morroschreiber]

So, how often have you killed game with hand-fashioned arrows you made with your pocket pencil sharpeners? Because, actually, making (working) arrows is not quite as easy as people with a stick and a pencil sharpener might think. Of course, if you're 8 years old playing cowboys and Indians in the back yard, I'm sure they'll work great. Good luck in your survival situation however.

Guys another trick for finding north west east or south, is you look at the sun or the moon while it's rising that means you are facing east and when you look at a dawning sun or moon, it means you are facing west hopefully you know where north is from east and west, if it doesn't work sorry, I live in Canada and it works for me.

[@jinyutranslation5411]

they will die from 12 hours waiting

[@tsura-]

Shenzhen Translator & Interpreter in China no they can do the same thing with the moon

[@Franklin-qn8dy]

xXNitroGamerXx Another tip, if red sky at sunset, it means that there will be good weather the next day but of there's red sky at morning then there will be bad weather that day

[@jnv1971]

Billy the dinosaur Nope. That is entirely dependent on your surroundings. mountains north/south or east/west nearby? Coastline east or west. Which latitude are you on? Any active volcanoes nearby? etc. etc.

[@artbookgaming]

If you get bitten By mosquitos and it starts to itch, you can rub some butter, or anything oily, on the spot and it helps with the itch. If it's hot and you come across some water, but you don't have a container, so you could drink/ carry it and you're not thirsty at the moment, to still have it cooling you would be a good idea. So you could soack your t-shirt in it and just wear it casually, and so it cools you as long as it's wet.

[@petertaylor3310]

A lighter, guitar pics, crayons, chapstick, 2 empty water bottles, a knife, a box of matches, a saucepan, a sewing needle, sticky tape and tampons. Sounds like an essentials gear guide for a crack baby's weekend camping trip!

[@Dannyy71]

[@chaselee3965]

I'm an Infantryman and my soldiers used to make fun of me carrying Tanpons in my med bag. Until they used for punctures and 7.62mm bullet holes. Also a great fire starter with some added chap stick or petroleum jelly.

[@mandolinic]

That explains why my picks keep catching fire when I play my mandolin too quickly.

[@icantthinkofaname15]

Ya right lol

[@ASHl33164]

Drinking your urine is actually very much not helpful and much more likely to cause dehydration faster than attempting to locate another water source and boiling the water to drink. Because urine contains all the substances your body filters out, by drinking them again you’re just making your kidneys work harder, leading to quicker dehydration.

[@SchlipSchlap404]

I broke my ankle better rub some chapstick on that

[@icantthinkofaname15]

Lol

[@marleyboy7732]

3:10 make sure the condom hasnt been used first LOL

[@jewgirl952]

This is weird, because the things that are necessary to have to survive are probably not available at the time one is stranded.

[@rotmgWevouls]

Depends where your stranded

[@Shadowbat.o_O]

If I get stranded I hope it's in a 7 Eleven.

[@christinamarshall681]

Jason Haynes This is really good information! I'm a very detail oriented person, who is very good at paying attention, and knowing my surroundings. But anything could happen, and one time it did. As a teenager a girl friend and I got turned around, and were lost in the mountains. The main road was above us, but we didn't know in which direction. I remembered someone saying on TV, that if this should ever happen, follow the sun. The sun was setting, our time running out, so we did just that, and viola! We climbed the side of the mountain as the sun set (which was west), and came right to the road, but a couple of miles away from where we were originally. We were so happy to see that road!

never heard someone say ramen like that... Rammun

[@yourhandlehere1]

I built a log cabin with a guitar pick. The chainsaw helped a little.

[@fredericofp]

IcantSignIn did you use chapstick ? use it, its very usefull

[@yourhandlehere1]

FredericoFP I usually use it for it's usefulness when I'm using it. If you rub it on a bird's tailfeathers, it makes them easier to catch.

[@jasonhaynes5352]

got u beat i built another human with my privates

[@lestershawley7969]

Dan S. I have a life hack: For starting a fire when you go camping or ? Get a cardboard egg container, put lawndery lint in all the pockets. Then with any old candles you have, melt them down, Then put in egg container pockets with the lint. You let them harden and then when you are ready to start a fire, rip one or two parts of the pockets off and light. the pockets will burn till your fire logs start. :-)

[@gorefist3907]

1. pickles quickly fight back dehydration due to the high salt content in them. 2. a 9 volt battery and metal brillo pad can be used to instantly start a fire even in very high winds. Just strike the brillo pad across the battery over something flammable. 3. Any non hide material pants (like leather) can be made into a makeshift life vest. tie the legs together, and place over your head. You will have to occasionally blow air into the waste area to keep it full, but will allow for some rest time if exhausted and treading water for long periods.

[@phxtonash]

just when I thought I knew everything already. you come out with this and remind me why I subscribed great video

You left out vaseline. In the Philippines, moms use it to cure everything and its flammable.

hey Be Amazed, about the tampon thing... you can also use them to start a fire easily, just tear one apart a little, making it puffy, then light it up. this even works with sparks

hint for 1) if the bottle for the "clean" water is in at least a bit of shadow, it should be cooler and let the water condense faster.

[@B-legend91]

best survival hint..dont fuck around in the woods with no chapsticks or condoms lollol

[@chrissosa3723]

knowing how much sunlight you have before it gets dark is also essential, to do this: -stretch your arm out towards the horizon directly underneath the sun with your hand bent 90° in relation to your arm -See how many fingers (excluding thumbs) fit in the gap between the horizon and the sun 1 finger = 15 minutes

[@loveinchrist7585]

Best Survival Hack... *Don't get strandet*!

[@Azurath100]

and if you do, look for the closest source of freshwater. Once you get to a road(which is a likely case) , stick out your thumb and go to your nearest settlement. unless you want to stay, in that case observe what animals are there and what they eat, you can also use friction to start a fire.

[@SpiritBear12]

I'm trying that filtering dirty water trick right now. I took a cup and put some soil from one of my plants in it along with some water and stirred it up. I placed it up on an over turned piece of tupperware. I placed two strips of cotton t-shirt in the cup of dirty water. Below it I placed a clear glass jar for the "clean" water to fall into. We'll see how long this takes to do. I do not intend to boil it to drink it though. I'm not going to drink it at all. I don't want to risk getting sick, but I do want to see if this clears up the water at all. The water is wicking up the cotton cloth, but I don't know if the water will transfer to the lower jar.

[@ganimated8862]

Go through ur camping gear , your parents ask "johnny why do u have tampons?"😥

[@fragilefrank]

Vaseline, and anything cotton or wool, makes an excellent fire starter. A roll of toilet paper, in a large tin can (coffee?), covered in high proof alcohol, make for a reliable heater/stove. That should also work with most cooking oil.

[@TheMounten1]

[@ArkadyVasiliev]

We were always told in the army to NEVER drink your own urine. If you're at the point where you are that desperate your potassium levels etc are already at too high of a level to be safe. This is especially true if you were involved in an injury that caused you to be stranded in the first place, particularly crush injuries because damaged tissues leak extra toxins into your blood which ends up in the urine

[@hiemsx]

I have a guitar Pick (the first one I ever used) as a necklace, so thats nice😂

[@creadishcread2243]

[@whitedo1]

Candles are the best fire starters. They also make good candles.

[@TheJeremyevans]

what about the hack to purify water from a river or stream. use preferrably a 1 litre plastic bottle. cut the bottom off it. then find the moss that grows around the river/stream banks. put a layer of moss in the bottle. then a layer of the river/stream mud into it. continue the process until 3/4 the way up the bottle. ladel in the water and allow if to filter through the layers of moss and mud. you'll have clean water when it comes out the other side. but you still have to boil it. but of course it is much easier if you use the tap, that's on the top of the hill.

[@dkpsyhog]

So I should use tampons for first aid, condoms as canteens, and pee on a shirt and tie it around my head to keep cool? Sure! Also, can't you just look at wether the sun's rising or setting? That oughta work for directions :P

EB3 (EBE) Alien guitar picks are the best fire starters. They burn without oxygen. I had a TON of them and got bored and threw a few into a small jar with an air tight seal. Lit them on fire and closed the lid. They kept burning. Fire went down a bit but continued to burn with a bright blue flame. When I opened it the gasses inside burned my eyes much like a race car burning nitromethane.
