00:00Some, claiming to be experts in survival, claim that in a critical situation, when you are running out of water, it would be acceptable to urinate and drink this entirely natural lemonade.
00:13Make no mistake, this idea is not only extremely dangerous, but also totally ineffective.
00:20It is not only disgusting, but it will not relieve your thirst.
00:26In fact, you will suffer the opposite effect and accelerate your own dehydration.
00:32Indeed, this drink from the bladder is the last attempt of your body to get rid of accumulated waste.
00:39It is therefore full of toxins that you should never reintroduce into your already dehydrated body.
00:47However, it is possible to use it as a way to cool your body.
00:53You just have to moisten your clothes if you are looking to refresh yourself.
00:58Another myth spread about hydration suggests sucking a stone if you are dehydrated.
01:04It is true that this practice can, in a way, stimulate the flow of saliva.
01:09It is an ancient survival technique, formerly used throughout the world.
01:17However, this method does not provide any real hydration, because it is obviously impossible to extract water from a stone.
01:25In addition, there is a risk of accidentally inhaling this stone, if it is small, which could lead to suffocation.
01:32And finally, you can not know what this stone went through before you decided to carry it in your mouth.
01:42Perhaps you have already heard that moss grows on the north side of trees,
01:47and that this information could help you orient yourself in the forest.
01:51Let us doubt it.
01:53Contrary to popular belief, and to what we observe in movies and cartoons,
01:58moss does not grow systematically north of trees.
02:02The growth of moss depends rather on the species of tree and local climatic conditions.
02:07It thrives where the conditions are most favorable, without any particular link with the north or the south.
02:13It is therefore careful not to rely too much on this rule.
02:17Survival blankets are really effective.
02:20Despite their frilly appearance, similar to that of a plastic bag,
02:24these emergency blankets in mylar are able to keep you warm.
02:29Their effectiveness relies on the aluminum coating that composes them,
02:33able to reflect infrared energy and retain heat.
02:37In the event of a shock or prolonged exposure, your body loses its heat to air contact,
02:43causing a drop in your body temperature.
02:46A survival blanket helps prevent this loss of heat by retaining moisture in your clothes
02:50and reducing evaporation, thus limiting thermal losses.
02:55By wrapping yourself in one of these sheets, resembling aluminum paper,
02:59you will stay much warmer.
03:01In addition, these blankets are both compact and affordable.
03:05So think about slipping one in your backpack before going on an expedition.
03:12Many people mistakenly believe that in the event of a loss in the wild,
03:16it is essential to find food first.
03:19This belief can be dangerous.
03:22In an emergency situation, water and shelter must be your absolute priorities.
03:27A study published in 2009 reveals that humans can survive up to 2 months without food
03:33and between 8 and 21 days without water,
03:36although these periods vary according to individual and environmental factors.
03:42In a survival context,
03:44it is much more vital to find water and shelter than to get food.
03:49In extreme conditions, you could only survive 3 hours without adequate shelter and 3 days without water.
03:56Ensuring your supply of water and a suitable shelter considerably increases your chances of survival.
04:03Alas, many preconceived ideas also circulate about hypothermia,
04:08like the idea that a hot bath could cure this condition.
04:12It is indeed crucial to warm up the body when the central temperature drops below 37°C,
04:18but this method must be applied with caution and according to a precise protocol.
04:23Diving a person in hypothermia in a hot bath can not only cause extreme pain,
04:29but also trigger serious complications such as a heart attack.
04:33It is preferable to place buoys under the person's armpits
04:37or to use a skin-on-skin warming technique,
04:39avoiding intense heat sources because they can be extremely dangerous.
04:46Another myth about hypothermia is that it would be preferable to let the person sleep.
04:52In reality, it is essential to keep the person awake during the heating process.
04:57Symptoms such as chills, mental confusion, incoherent speech or even pronounced dizziness
05:04are signs of severe hypothermia, and insomnia can quickly settle.
05:09Letting the person sleep can lead to serious consequences.
05:13It is therefore imperative to keep the person awake during the heating process.
05:21As for the question of feeding a person in a hypothermia state,
05:25it is often said that it should not be done.
05:28However, this is not exact in the case of mild or moderate hypothermia.
05:34The treatment of hypothermia differs from the treatment of a classic shock.
05:37Feeding a person in a shock state poses risks
05:41because they could vomit and suffocate in case of loss of consciousness.
05:45On the other hand, in moderate cases of hypothermia,
05:48administering small quantities of repeated foods rich in calories is beneficial.
05:52These foods generate metabolic heat,
05:55thus helping the person to restore their ability to generate their own heat.
06:00When you are lost in nature,
06:03it is tempting to believe that you can consume everything that animals eat.
06:07But beware, it is one of the most dangerous survival myths.
06:11Although humans have some biological similarities with animals,
06:15there are significant differences in our food tolerance.
06:19Some plants that are harmless to them can be extremely toxic to humans.
06:24Birds, for example, consume a variety of bees, some of which are toxic to humans.
06:30Even squirrels, although they usually eat harmless nuts for us,
06:34sometimes nibble on mushrooms and fruits that can make us seriously ill.
06:39It is not because an animal consumes something that it means that it is harmless to you.
06:45There is also a belief that, in order to find water,
06:49it would be enough to follow the birds in flight.
06:52But this method is extremely unreliable.
06:55Although some aquatic birds are generally close to water points,
06:58many species travel long distances in search of food.
07:02Some believe that geese fly towards water at dusk,
07:06but they can simply go to a clearing to spend the night there.
07:10Another widespread belief is that if you can put your nail in wood,
07:15it means that it is suitable for lighting a fire by friction.
07:19This myth is widely spread, but it is not reliable.
07:22Some softer woods that pass this test are actually ineffective,
07:27while some denser woods are perfect for lighting a fire.
07:30The success of this test is purely fortuitous.
07:34It is therefore not a reliable method.
07:37So, spare your nails.
07:41Another misunderstanding regarding friction fires
07:45is the idea that hardwood would be the best choice to obtain flames.
07:49Although woods such as oak are excellent for classic wood heating,
07:53they are not suitable for friction fires.
07:55The high ignition temperature and the density of hardwood
07:59make them unsuitable for such a method.
08:02Choose soft and non-resinous woods such as poplar,
08:06cedar, cedar or sawdust.
08:09Much better adapted to this use.
08:13In emergency situations, it is sometimes suggested that eating meat
08:17or raw seafood could help you survive.
08:20This is not entirely accurate,
08:22although some survival studies show animators consuming various raw foods,
08:27this practice is not recommended.
08:30Raw meat can contain pathogenic agents,
08:33including bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms,
08:36representing a serious risk to health.
08:39They can easily cause serious and difficult diseases to diagnose in humans.
08:43Although many people eat sushi without health problems,
08:47it is because some raw seafood from saltwater is safe
08:50and the pathogenic agents it contains are not harmful to us.
08:55To minimize health risks,
08:58always make sure that the meat and seafood are well cooked before consuming them.
09:04Rubbing two sticks together to make a fire is part of the myth.
09:08Although friction is a real method to create a flame,
09:12friction fire techniques require patience, practice
09:16and sometimes even a little luck.
09:18It may seem easy in the movies,
09:21but you should not be too confident and tell yourself that you will get there first,
09:26especially in a stressful situation.
09:28If you really want to try,
09:30favor a fast downward movement rather than excessive force.
09:34Okay, let's say you don't have enough patience to light a fire by friction,
09:40but you have matches.
09:42They got wet at one point,
09:44but now they are dry.
09:46Great, right?
09:48It is wrong to think that your matches will work properly after being dried.
09:53The chemicals used are indeed very sensitive to humidity.
09:57Ordinary matches are found in a box with a surface of match made of a granular material,
10:04like powder glass mixed with phosphorus.
10:07The head of the match is also composed of this grain of sulfur and an oxidant.
10:13A small amount of heat is released when you scratch the match,
10:16caused by the friction of the glass powder.
10:19This converts the phosphorus into white phosphorus, which begins to catch fire.
10:24The match heads, which have been wet at one point, will simply not ignite,
10:29because the internal chemical balance is completely disturbed.
10:32So, if you go somewhere where there is a risk of wetting your matches,
10:37invest either in waterproof matches or keep them in a waterproof container.
10:42Some people believe that a big fire can replace the need to build a shelter.
10:48However, even a fire made of large logs will not replace this important step.
10:54In the event of a rain, the flames will quickly go out,
10:57and sleeping under the stars is not safe,
11:00because wild animals will not miss the opportunity to feast.
11:05It is therefore always wise to take the time to build a shelter to protect yourself from the impacts of the rain.
11:11There is a myth that all layers of clothing are also effective.
11:16Unfortunately, this is not the case.
11:18Cotton, for example, can cause hypothermia if it is used as a main base layer in cold weather.
11:24This fabric is ideal for the house, but it is preferable to avoid it in cold and humid climates,
11:31because once wet, cotton loses all its insulating properties.
11:34As soon as you start to sweat, moisture penetrates the cotton fibers,
11:38and your clothes cool your body by conduction.
11:42Remember that cotton can retain its weight in water up to 27 times,
11:47and retain this humidity up to 8 times longer than wool or synthetic fabrics.
11:53The rule is therefore simple.
11:55If it is cold enough to wear a jacket,
11:57then it is too cold to wear cotton.
12:00One of the most widespread and dangerous survival myths,
12:03often conveyed in fiction,
12:06is the belief that it would be possible to suck the venom of a snake bite.
12:11In reality, this method is ineffective,
12:14and, even worse, it exposes the bitten person to a high risk of death.
12:20In reality, this method is ineffective,
12:23and, even worse, it exposes the bitten person to a high risk of infection,
12:28by enlarging the wound, and to contamination via the bacteria present in the human saliva.
12:34It is therefore imperative to cover the wound with a compressive bandage,
12:38and to seek medical help as soon as possible.
12:41One might be tempted to believe that a GPS provides flawless navigation.
12:45It is true that it is fair to carry a GPS on your hikes, if you have one.
12:51This device can offer a precious peace of mind.
12:55However, it is important to keep in mind that these devices are not flawless.
13:00You could misplace or damage the device,
13:03or even notice a battery failure.
13:06It is therefore advisable to also carry a map and a compass,
13:10and to be familiar with their use.
13:11Indeed, tracking is not only about knowing which direction to take,
13:16but also about knowing your current position.
13:20A common idea is that when you are in a snowy environment without access to drinking water,
13:26consuming snow is the best way to rehydrate.
13:30This notion is actually misleading, and can lead to increased dehydration.
13:35Indeed, when you consume snow,
13:37your body spends energy to melt it and reheat it,
13:41which leads to a faster loss of bodily fluids.
13:45In addition, consuming snow can lead to hypothermia,
13:49a particularly dangerous condition if you are alone in the wild.
13:53Snow can also contain harmful bacteria,
13:56likely to cause diseases.
13:58If you are forced to consume snow,
14:01melt it first with a source of heat.
14:03Also avoid snow that does not appear white and fresh.
14:07You see what I mean.
14:12In the event of freezing, it is essential to act quickly.
14:16And it is dangerous to think that you have to apply hot water on the affected area,
14:21because this can aggravate the injuries.
14:23If medical help is not immediately available,
14:27remove all wet clothes and immerse the frozen part in warm water.
14:31Prevent the risk of freezing
14:34by maintaining the affected part elevated to reduce its swelling.
14:38Apply a bandage on the affected area.
14:41If the frost concerns your fingers or toes,
14:44wrap them individually and place cotton swabs between each other
14:48so that they do not touch.
14:50And remember, it is imperative to never rub the frozen area.
14:55If you find yourself lost in nature,
14:57try to locate a stream or a small stream of water
15:01and follow it downstream until it spills into a larger river,
15:04which should lead you to civilization.
15:07Do not believe in the myth that water is drinkable
15:10simply because animals drink it.
15:12Purify all the water you find
15:15to avoid health problems,
15:17because even clear water can contain dangerous microorganisms.
15:22It is also wrong to believe that there is no risk
15:24of drinking small amounts of salt water.
15:27In fact, it can lead to a much faster dehydration
15:30than not drinking at all.
15:32Use salt water to cool your body in hot weather,
15:35but do not consume it.
15:39You discover a cave while you are lost in nature,
15:42and it seems an ideal refuge,
15:45especially since you have matches
15:47and can find wood nearby.
15:50But it is crucial to never make a fire inside the cave.
15:54The heat could lead to an expansion of the rocks
15:58and their possible rupture,
16:00which could lead to a collapse.
16:02It is preferable to light your fire outside the cave
16:06to ensure your safety and keep you warm.
16:10When you realize that you are lost on a hike,
16:13stop walking immediately.
16:15Although this may seem counterintuitive,
16:18staying in place and building a shelter
16:21increases your chances of being found by the rescue.
16:23This approach also avoids dehydration
16:26caused by continuous movement.
16:30You may have heard that if you find yourself
16:33in front of an aggressive swarm of bees,
16:36you should jump into the water
16:38and it will leave you alone.
16:40The problem is that the bees are patient.
16:42They will wait for you to come back to the surface.
16:44Instead, run in a straight line as fast as possible
16:48until the bees abandon the pursuit.
16:51It is still preferable to look for a shelter in a car,
16:54a house or public toilets.
16:57Here are now some additional survival tips to consider.
17:01Keep them in mind to be prepared for any eventuality.
17:07When meeting a snake,
17:09avoid approaching it and do not try to frighten it.
17:12Snakes are sensitive to vibrations.
17:14So making noise by raising your voice,
17:17applauding or tapping your foot
17:18can incite them to withdraw.
17:21If possible, simply stay away from the reptile.
17:27If you fall off a cliff,
17:29try to sink your fall into several shorter segments
17:33to reduce the impact.
17:35You can also cling to objects such as bushes or rocks
17:39to slow down your descent
17:41and improve your chances of survival.
17:43In the event of a fall through the ice in very cold water,
17:47do not try to pull yourself out by directly grasping the edge
17:50because it could break.
17:52Instead, use your legs to position yourself horizontally
17:56and then slide slowly onto the ice.
17:59Once against the surface,
18:01spread out to distribute your weight
18:03and avoid breaking the ice.
18:07If you encounter a sea whirlwind,
18:09stay calm.
18:11Analyze the direction of its rotation,
18:13lengthen the edge
18:15and use the current to get away from the danger.
18:17If you are trapped,
18:19take a deep breath
18:21and wait for the right moment
18:23to swim towards safety when the whirlwind weakens.
18:26If you are trapped and under debris during an earthquake,
18:30it is essential to protect your respiratory system
18:33and to keep your air reserves.
18:35Use your shirt as a cover
18:36to protect your face from dust
18:38while trying to rally the surface.
18:41When you are caught in moving sand,
18:43make sure to keep your head and arms above the surface.
18:46Slowly move your legs
18:48to allow the moving sand to fill the space
18:50and create more room to move.
18:52Lean on your back to increase your contact surface
18:55and make small movements to get away.
18:58If you no longer have small pieces of wood
19:01on your back,
19:02you can use snacks like chips.
19:04Thanks to their high fat content,
19:06they can serve as effective substitutes for dry leaves.
19:09Spaghetti can also be used in case of emergency.
