00:00Food is essential, isn't it? Well, good news!
00:04If you happen to be in the middle of the ocean, you won't starve.
00:08Almost all saltwater fish can be eaten raw, like sushi.
00:12Parasites don't survive in this water, so these fish are pretty safe.
00:17Alas, you won't find soy sauce to accompany your improvised sashimi.
00:23You won't risk starving in the middle of the forest either.
00:26The inner bark of bread, trembles, herbs, salts and boulders is edible.
00:32Even if it's not as delicious as sushi, it's still better than nothing.
00:37In addition, it contains vitamin C.
00:40You can also use bread needles to prepare an excellent tea that will warm you up on cold winter days.
00:47Now let's move on to the bad news.
00:49Eating snow is totally discouraged.
00:52And it's not just about this suspicious yellow snow.
00:56It won't fill your stomach.
00:58Not more than it will dampen your thirst.
01:00In fact, consuming it can lower your body temperature.
01:04In addition, your body will need more water to melt the snow than the amount you will consume,
01:10which will dehydrate you even more.
01:15Even looking for food in your own kitchen can be quite risky.
01:19When you prepare delicious pastries, keep the flour away from the fire.
01:24Because this highly flammable substance can burn in a few seconds.
01:28It is 35 times more flammable than coal, so make sure to store it in a safe place.
01:34There is still a cooking tip you should know.
01:37If the oil catches fire, don't try to extinguish it with water.
01:41It will only make things worse.
01:43Instead, if the fire is small, it would be better to throw baking soda on it.
01:48If it's a bigger fire, use a fire extinguisher.
01:51You can also put a lid on the pan.
01:54The oxygen will run out soon, and the fire can't survive without it.
01:58Imagine that you are walking near a lake or a pond with your dog,
02:02and you see a kangaroo in the middle of the water.
02:05Exotic, isn't it?
02:07Whatever you do, don't try to help it, and keep your dog at ease.
02:12Kangaroos only adopt this posture when they feel threatened by a predator.
02:16And if the unfortunate predator gets into the water, the kangaroo can try to drown it.
02:21It is reported that many dogs have been injured in this way.
02:25So make sure to stay safe on the bank with your companion.
02:32Hitchhiking can be a fun experience,
02:35but there are many dangers lurking in the forest.
02:38You may have seen people on TV recommending sucking the venom in case of snake bites.
02:44But it's a very bad idea.
02:46Indeed, it can introduce harmful bacteria into the wound.
02:50Instead, stay calm, lie down on the ground,
02:54lift the affected limb above your heart,
02:58and immediately call for help.
03:00Otherwise, ask your friends to take you to the hospital urgently.
03:04In case of emergency, you can light a fire using your reading glasses.
03:09Hold them in front of the sun and direct them towards a flammable material, like dry grass.
03:14You will soon see smoke forming.
03:17If your glasses do not have a strong correction,
03:20you can add water to the lens to strengthen the effect.
03:23Never run away from a kangaroo and avoid fixing it.
03:26Looking it straight in the eye means that you are ready to take on the challenge.
03:30Instead, try to grow up, spread your arms,
03:34inflate your chest, and start screaming to scare the animal.
03:39Dangerous animals are everywhere.
03:42Before putting on your shoes, shake them vigorously,
03:45because you certainly don't want your toes to meet a spider or a scorpion.
03:50Snakes are known to slip into sleeping bags during the hot summer days.
03:55You can't blame them.
03:57Everyone tries to escape the heat.
04:00Before putting yourself in your bag,
04:02make sure there are no rampant creatures inside.
04:06In addition, a campfire can dissuade the reptiles.
04:10You have probably seen scenes from movies where bees attack a character
04:15who throws himself into the water to escape the insects.
04:18Although it may seem plausible, the reality is very different.
04:22The bees will simply wait for you to run out of breath and face them again.
04:27These little animals are very smart.
04:30If you fall into a frozen lake and you can't find a way back,
04:35go to the darkest part of the ice,
04:38which is often the hole you fell through.
04:41Snow and ice reflect light and are generally much brighter than an opening.
04:47Once out, don't go back on foot.
04:50Slide away from the hole like a seal.
04:53Swimming is a fun activity, unless you fall into a frozen lake.
04:58But rip currents can also complicate things.
05:01If you ever find yourself in such a situation,
05:04start by swimming parallel to the shore to escape the currents.
05:08To rest while swimming,
05:10tilt your back so that you stay on the surface.
05:13Position your hips up, horizontally.
05:17Relax, bring your shoulder blades together
05:20and release the tension in your chest.
05:23Stay relaxed to keep your breath and don't panic.
05:26If you don't know how to swim
05:28and you don't want to spend money to buy a life jacket,
05:32your pants can save your life.
05:34It can be used as a real life jacket.
05:38By tying it to the openings after filling it with air,
05:41just place it around your neck and you're ready.
05:45Let's just hope your pants are waterproof.
05:51Your pants will be of no help to you if you see someone drowning.
05:55Your first instinct would be to jump to help him, right?
05:59But if you don't have a floating device,
06:02the person could cling to you,
06:04dragging you both and putting your life in danger.
06:07In this situation,
06:09the best thing to do would be to throw something that floats
06:12or help him get out of the water with a stick or a rope.
06:16Diving in dark waters can be confusing
06:19because it is difficult to find your way back to the surface.
06:23Exhale some air.
06:25Less dense than water, it will always go back to the surface.
06:29Follow these air bubbles and you will find safety.
06:33In case of emergency, it is possible to drink salty water.
06:36But it is essential to dilute it four times
06:39because sea water is four times saltier than the fluids of your body.
06:43In other words, you will need three glasses of fresh water
06:46for each glass of sea water.
06:48Once mixed, the water becomes sure to drink.
06:51Although salty water contains many beneficial minerals for health,
06:55it can never replace fresh water,
06:57so only consume it if necessary.
07:02You are on a beach, with water up to your knees.
07:06Suddenly, you notice that the sea is withdrawing quickly.
07:09In such a situation,
07:11the best thing to do is to run as fast as possible
07:14to the highest point you can see,
07:17because this could indicate an imminent tsunami.
07:20This sign includes earthquakes in the ground and a powerful earthquake.
07:24Even in your own bed, you are never totally safe.
07:27If you wake up in the dark with a strong smell of gas,
07:30avoid turning on.
07:32A spark from a switch could trigger an explosion.
07:36Refrain from using any light source,
07:39because even the flashlight of a phone could set the gas on fire.
07:45Now imagine this.
07:47You are approached in the street by an assistance dog.
07:50You could want to pet him,
07:52but it is preferable to stay still and not move.
07:55Let your master lead the dog.
07:58If the dog is not present and the dog is trying to get your attention,
08:02it could mean that he is in trouble.
08:05In this case, follow the dog,
08:07because you could save a life.
08:09Avoid posting on social networks when you are away from home.
08:13A burglar could use this information to break into your home.
08:17Although this seems obvious,
08:19many people do not take this advice seriously.
08:22You can always share your beautiful beach photos
08:25once you get home.
