1. If you're ever caught in a whirlpool, do the best you can to take a deep breath (its tough, I know) and let the whirlpool suck you down underwater. Once underwater swim sideways to escape it. Since the whirlpool creates a conical shape its much easier to swim away once you're underwater rather than swimming at the top and getting pulled back.
2. When boiling down water in the winter remember that ice is 90% water 10% air, snow is 90% air 10% water. Melt ice, not snow.
3. Dont drink water fast when you finally encounter clean water. You’ll throw up, and give yourself stomach ache.
Take 1 sip every 10 seconds until you feel satisfied
4. If you are already experiencing hypothermia, your body has stopped making heat. At this point your insulating layers are only maintaining the slowly worsening status quo. The only way get better is to expose yourself to a heat source like a fire, a warm body, or heated structure.
That means you have to take off the insulated layers in order for the heat to get to your body. I knew someone who almost died because she was experiencing hypothermia. She went into a warm building and people kept piling more and more blankets on her. The blankets kept out the heat and her body wasn't producing it's own so she wasn't getting any better. Finally someone called them all dumb asses and pulled off the blankets so the warm air could actually reach her.
5. The entire dandelion plant is edible.
The entire clover plant is also edible.
need to be cooked.
One cup of chopped, raw dandelion greens has 25 calories, 1.5g protein, 0.4g of fat, 5.1g of carbohydrates, 1.9g fiber, and 0.4g sugar. Dandelion greens are an excellent source of vitamin A, folate, vitamin K, and vitamin C (in its raw form), and a good source of calcium and potassium.
A 100-gram serving of raw clover contains only 23 calories. Clover is a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. It even is anti inflammatory towards the cardiovascular system.
6. For sleeping - 1 layer below you is the same as 2 layers above you
The ground sucks all the heat out of you so the more separation you can get, the better.
