How to get your self out of life threatening situations.

Sign in to disble this ad
I used to have this book I kept in my toilet, about how to get out of major emergencies and how to survive....I found it fascinating. I have help now to escape an avalanche, deliver a baby or escape quicksand...

I forgot what it was called, but I loved it.

Name an emergency and lets figure it out.

If you need booze that bad, why not prepare?

(these were not the emergencies I was imagining... )

A heartfelt, handwritten note will do just fine.

I went through a period in my 20s where I had an honest-to-goodness life-threatening experience of some kind at 18-month intervals pretty regularly. My experience has been, if you take time to think, it's too late. You've got to be able to react quickly & decisively without second-guessing yourself (until later, when it's safe to do so). The time it takes to think, "Oh, s___!" can be too much.

So, you lost the book?

Here's an emergency for you:

What do I do if I'm in an emergency but I lost my book about what to do if I'm in an emergency?

The best way to get out of life-threatening positions is not to take the unwise actions that get you into them. Not all can be avoided, but many can.
