[@Spineless-Lobster]

I have a rhyming tip for bears from one reddit user, Black bears can be brown like grizzlies but they are smaller and leaner while grizzly bears are bulkier so keep that in mind. If you ever come in contact with a polar bear and you have no other options, this may seem stupid because you would probably be in the Arctic but take of a piece of clothing (something that doesn’t affect your temperature that much or something you can take off quickly) the polar bear will examine it thoroughly and you can get away, if you can’t do that, then you have tough luck because you can’t fight back. Anyways, here is the rhyme. If it’s brown, lie down If it’s black, fight back If it’s white, goodnight Hope this helps!

[@The_Truth773]

fun fact: the average polar bear has a 7 inch dick.

[@muzankibutsuji1895]

David Bis I thought you can only live without water for 3 days and on the third day you can die

[@emmasilver2332]

@@muzankibutsuji1895 it depends on a variety of factors, including your age, overall health, and how hydrated you were before going without water. If you're in peak condition and normally drink plenty of water, you're going to last a lot longer once you're deprived of it than someone who isn't as healthy or hydrated. Most people don't drink enough water, especially in colder climates. If you're in a hot environment, your first instinct is going to be to stay hydrated. If you're in a colder environment, you won't have that instinct until you've gone several hours without it. If you have IBS or some other gastrointestinal upset, water is going to be a bigger priority than if your gut is healthy. Heck, simply the ability to cope with stressful situations can have an impact on your overall hydration. If you're able to maintain a level head, you'll sweat less than if you're in a state of panic that you can't get out of. It all depends upon your circumstances.

[@Channel7331]

[@klyzer5725]

what kind of people are asking that dumb question?

[@pHixiq]

Y’all should go into a little more detail on certain points. Like only take the chance with water IF you are that close to the end. Because getting sick from it will kill you faster so if you can go longer without it and you think it isn’t safe then don’t take the chance. Also not all cave water is safe. Dripping water from the ceiling would be a better chance than a pool of water but both could be contaminated.

[@alison.3635]

The water thing I think is false. The right word is “get through” not “survive”. You can get through with out food for about 30 days, then your body will start to eat itself. And for water it’s around 3 days before you start to pass out and trip. After that, your chance of dying of dehydration is very high. Edit: IM NO PERSONAL, THIS IS ALL RESERCH THAT IVE DONE. THIS IS JUST CLARIFICATION, DONT HATE

[@universe1225]

Black Bear: fight like hell Grizzly bear: curl up in a ball and take the pain and hope they leave without killing you Polar bear:💀You might as well jump into the freezing water for a better survival shot Edit: there are also Sun bears (a.k.a. honey bears).

A brown bear will often swipe at your exposed organs if it sees them moving. They don't just leave you for dead, they make damn sure you're dead.

[@bnjmz]

As mentioned, telling someone where you will be and when you will come back is the single most effective AND easiest survival technique. Having the remote possibility at least of a helicopter coming to get you is way more valuable than expertly creating a janky trap to possibly catch a rabbit or whatever. The first thing to do is: nothing. Recognize your own psychology. When panicked, the brain will narrow its focus rather than broaden it. You'll also get a boost of adrenaline that can quickly turn in to action that harms you. What you want to NOT do is run around like crazy trying to find a way out as if you're chased by hornets. That's how you possibly injure yourself, waste energy, and get totally turned around. You may not feel calm, but you want to be as deliberate as possible with every move. That's the mentality that allows you to notice your surroundings. It's a good idea to mark your spot by piling sticks / rocks the very moment you realize you're lost. From there, you can slowly try to retrace your steps--but you want to have a starting point so that you can return to it rather than go from kinda lost to really, really lost. The tips in the video about finding clean water or starting a fire really need to be elaborated on (which wasn't possible in an 8-minute video, of course). There's no way one could start a fire just given the instructions above (it shows putting in green pine needles--that's not gonna work to get it started. Only after it's huge would you do that to create a smoke signal). Watch separate videos. It's totally accessible, but takes some knowledge. Better yet, practice. Regarding water, there are also tips there. If you find a stream source that starts from the ground, that can be good because the water is potentially filtered more rather than in a stagnant puddle. Stuff like this. Lots to learn. And best to do it gradually over time. Stay safe!
