00:00:00You are hiking in a sublime protected reserve in California, and you find yourself in front of a puma.

00:00:06Stay calm, you have to show him that you are not afraid.

00:00:08Shout out in the direction of the animal and shake your arms.

00:00:10If it does not work, throw stones, branches and everything that falls into your hand.

00:00:14Aim at the ground in front of the puma.

00:00:16Never throw anything directly at him.

00:00:18It would only make him more angry.

00:00:21If the puma approaches, protect your most vulnerable parts.

00:00:24He will aim at the neck and try to catch your arms.

00:00:27So tilt your head forward to protect your neck, and do not make big movements with your arms.

00:00:32When he realizes that you are not an easy opponent, the puma will probably retreat and run away.

00:00:38You are at Yellowstone.

00:00:40Here you find yourself face to face with a grizzly.

00:00:42He drinks water in a stream.

00:00:44The safety distance is 60 meters.

00:00:46The grizzly spotted you.

00:00:48He stands on his hind legs and looks in your direction.

00:00:50He is now the size of a normal-sized basketball player.

00:00:53He weighs about 360 kg.

00:00:55So you have no chance of winning.

00:00:57You have to stay frozen in place.

00:00:59The grizzly has a bad view, so he may not see you.

00:01:02But then he starts walking in your direction.

00:01:04Do not turn your back to him and do not try to run as fast as possible.

00:01:07He will chase you.

00:01:09You have to look bigger than you really are.

00:01:11Shake your arms and spread your legs a little more.

00:01:13Speak and shout constantly in the direction of the bear.

00:01:16He will understand that you are not a simple deer.

00:01:18Try to make a metal noise.

00:01:20If you have food on you, do not throw it to the bear.

00:01:23Put it on the ground and keep moving back in front of the animal.

00:01:26If he starts running towards you,

00:01:28your only chance is to lie down on the ground and stay frozen.

00:01:31Bears are not scarecrows.

00:01:33So if he thinks you are not alive,

00:01:35he will just sniff you, raise his shoulders and leave.

00:01:37Now you are going to dive on the Florida coast.

00:01:40You have to protect yourself from the big white shark.

00:01:42Never wear shiny and shiny jewelry when you bathe.

00:01:45They attract sharks.

00:01:46And never bathe at night.

00:01:48That's when they come out to get food.

00:01:50A lot of water projections can also attract this marine predator.

00:01:53But if the shark is still swimming towards you,

00:01:55the rule is the following.

00:01:57Do everything in your power to face it and win.

00:01:59Try to stay calm and swim towards the beach.

00:02:01If the shark takes you for food,

00:02:03there is only one thing that can scare him.

00:02:05Try to hit the shark on the nose, eyes or gills.

00:02:08Now you are in Africa.

00:02:10Here, in the high grass of the savannah, you see a lion.

00:02:12And the worst thing is that he sees you too.

00:02:14The first thing you have to do is keep visual contact.

00:02:16Don't turn your back to the lion.

00:02:18And don't run.

00:02:19This two-meter predator, which weighs as much as three adults,

00:02:22runs towards you at the speed of a car on the highway.

00:02:24But he stops abruptly and keeps staring at you.

00:02:27Lions often pretend to charge to scare their opponent.

00:02:30At this stage, you must appear much bigger than you really are.

00:02:33Spread your arms and make loud noises.

00:02:35The lion can then make another false charge.

00:02:37And if you don't move, the lion will realize

00:02:39that you are a size opponent and will go the other way.

00:02:42Be careful, the lion is much more dangerous than the male.

00:02:45If she keeps her babies, she will never stop.

00:02:47And you will have no chance.

00:02:49Your safari jeep takes you to the next place.

00:02:51You see elephants drinking water peacefully.

00:02:54These animals can measure 3 meters high and weigh as much as 2.44.

00:02:58They can even overturn cars with their powerful defense.

00:03:01And that's when one of them sees you and shakes his big ears.

00:03:04It's bluff.

00:03:05With his ears, the elephant wants to appear bigger and make you run away.

00:03:09He is also afraid and will not rush at you.

00:03:11You have to make the beast understand that you are not threatening it.

00:03:14Don't scream and don't shake your arms.

00:03:16Move back slowly until you have left the elephant's personal space.

00:03:20But if he runs towards you with his ears against his head, he doesn't bluff.

00:03:24Climbing a tree is not a good option for the moment.

00:03:27He could hit the tree and make you fall.

00:03:29He could even make him tilt with his big trunk.

00:03:31You have to run in a zigzag.

00:03:33The elephant is heavy and it is difficult for him to change direction quickly.

00:03:36So little by little, you will start to move away from him.

00:03:39But don't forget that an elephant can run at 40 km per hour.

00:03:42It is therefore unlikely that you will escape him.

00:03:44Now let's go to the Nile River in Egypt.

00:03:46There are the largest number of crocodiles in the world.

00:03:48If you are camping, settle at a distance of at least 50 meters from the shore.

00:03:52In this way, the crocodile will not find your camp at night.

00:03:56Never leave the crocodile out of sight.

00:03:58He can take advantage of this moment and take you by surprise.

00:04:01Their top speed is only 16 km per hour.

00:04:03But they can charge 13 meters per second from the water.

00:04:07So the only chance to survive is to stay out of the water.

00:04:10Otherwise, the crocodile's weak points are the eyes, the tip of the nose and the membrane of the throat.

00:04:15This membrane prevents water from entering the crocodile's throat.

00:04:19When you run away from a crocodile, be careful not to fall on a hippopotamus.

00:04:23It is one of the most dangerous animals in the world.

00:04:26They can be the size of a tourist car and weigh as much as a big elephant.

00:04:30In addition, they can run as fast as horses.

00:04:32So they are sure to overtake you in a sprint.

00:04:34The main thing is not to frighten them.

00:04:36If you are at a safe distance, draw their attention with a loud noise.

00:04:40In general, they will try to get away from you.

00:04:42Take advantage of this moment to back off too.

00:04:44But if you see a hippopotamus howling, it's a sign that you're breaking their comfort zone.

00:04:48They can open their mouths at 180 degrees and have the strength to bite a crocodile.

00:04:52So you won't be able to beat him and you have to run away.

00:04:55The best option is to climb a tree or something high.

00:04:58Hippos have trouble climbing high.

00:05:00And if you manage to escape, you will be one of the few people to have survived

00:05:04a face-to-face with a hippopotamus.

00:05:06There are also buffalos that live here in the savannah.

00:05:09They can be as tall as an adult man and weigh a ton.

00:05:12And unlike lions and elephants, they do not make false charges.

00:05:16If you see this machine running at you, it certainly has bad intentions.

00:05:20Their powerful horns and skulls can bend metal plates.

00:05:23They can turn a new car into a pile of scrap metal.

00:05:26You can never distance a bison.

00:05:28Your only option is to find the nearest tree and run to it,

00:05:31even before the buffalo starts its charge.

00:05:33If you come across a snake, you have to stay still.

00:05:36There are an infinite number of snake species,

00:05:38and you don't know if your opponent is venomous or not.

00:05:41So you absolutely have to avoid being bitten.

00:05:43Make slow and fluid movements backwards.

00:05:46If the snake follows you, stop and start tapping your foot.

00:05:49The strong vibrations of the ground should make it run away.

00:05:51If the snake bites you anyway, try to remember exactly what it looks like.

00:05:55Or even better, take a picture of it.

00:05:57To neutralize the venom, you have to take an antidote

00:06:00against the specific venom of this snake species.

00:06:03You are now on your way to Northeast Asia.

00:06:05As you cross a dense jungle, you see a clearing.

00:06:08Several wild boars are grazing peacefully there.

00:06:11One of them is a female with several cubs.

00:06:13She is ready to protect them all,

00:06:15so she is particularly aggressive with her entourage.

00:06:18Oops, she spotted you.

00:06:19Get ready to defend yourself.

00:06:20If the boar makes loud and piercing noises, it will hit you.

00:06:24The first thing to do is to stay calm and not move.

00:06:27You are in good luck that the boar is still on its way.

00:06:31But you see that it starts to run.

00:06:33You then have several options.

00:06:35You can run away.

00:06:36You can face the enemy or climb the nearest tree.

00:06:40The first option is bad.

00:06:41Wild boars can run as fast as Senbolt.

00:06:44And when it catches up with you,

00:06:45its sharp defenses will leave you no chance.

00:06:47Option B, stay or kill.

00:06:49False.

00:06:50A wild boar can weigh as much as a motorcycle

00:06:52and be almost as long as an adult.

00:06:54A shot at 40 km per hour will knock you down.

00:06:57So the right option is to climb the nearest tree.

00:06:59If there is no tree,

00:07:00climb a car or a large rock.

00:07:02You must be in a higher position than the boar.

00:07:05When it realizes that it cannot reach you,

00:07:07it will leave you alone.

00:07:09Overall, the most important thing is to stay away from wild boars,

00:07:12to never try to feed them or provoke them.

00:07:17This black snake with a menacing appearance will not hurt you.

00:07:21It has no tail.

00:07:22You may have mistakenly thought

00:07:24that this creature was nothing more than a black Mamba,

00:07:27but it is just an harmless snake.

00:07:29There is a characteristic sign

00:07:31that can help you determine

00:07:33if a snake is really dangerous.

00:07:35Species without tails

00:07:37do not have a venom distribution mechanism.

00:07:39Consequently, their bites

00:07:41will not have much effect on you.

00:07:43But if you see a snake with tails,

00:07:46then you are really in danger.

00:07:49If you come across a snake,

00:07:51it is preferable to leave the area

00:07:53and ask the help of a wildlife professional

00:07:55to identify the reptile.

00:07:56Here are some tips to help you

00:07:58distinguish the two types.

00:08:00Observe their behavior,

00:08:02their habits of nesting and their habitats.

00:08:04Some snakes can shake their tails

00:08:06as a warning.

00:08:08In addition, venomous snakes

00:08:10usually have triangular heads,

00:08:12compared to non-venomous snakes

00:08:14which have rounded heads.

00:08:20It's time for a little optical illusion.

00:08:22Can you spot a snake here?

00:08:24You'd better be careful

00:08:26because a boomslang is hiding in this tree.

00:08:28This unnoticeable reptile

00:08:30has mastered the art of camouflage

00:08:32and he likes to pretend to be a branch.

00:08:34In addition, boomslangs

00:08:36may not have the best odor,

00:08:38but they compensate for this

00:08:40by their ability to detect

00:08:42the chemical compounds present in the air.

00:08:44By using their tongue,

00:08:46they gather the smell molecules

00:08:48and press them against the sensory receptors

00:08:50of their mouth.

00:08:52A snake is venomous.

00:08:54Just look at its claws.

00:08:56However, when it does not intend to use it,

00:08:58the snake just has to carefully

00:09:00fold its claws back.

00:09:04Boomslang snakes

00:09:06and humans have something in common.

00:09:08Both have a quantity of accessories

00:09:10made of keratin in their body.

00:09:12The nails and human hair

00:09:14are made of keratin

00:09:16and the boomslang is also made of it.

00:09:18The characteristic sound produced

00:09:20by boomslang snakes

00:09:22is similar to the sound

00:09:24that we humans can make

00:09:26when we rub our nails

00:09:28against each other.

00:09:30But these reptiles

00:09:32do it extremely fast

00:09:34so that it sounds

00:09:36almost like a whistle.

00:09:38Every time these snakes moan,

00:09:40they add a new segment

00:09:42to their sonnets.

00:09:44But it is not as if more a snake

00:09:46were old,

00:09:48because boomslang snakes

00:09:50and many other snakes

00:09:52have an internal ear

00:09:54with a unique structure

00:09:56that does not include a tympanum.

00:09:58This means that they cannot

00:10:00capture air sounds as we do.

00:10:02Instead,

00:10:04their internal ear

00:10:06is connected to their jaw

00:10:08and they use this mechanism

00:10:10to feel the vibrations.

00:10:12Biologists are still looking

00:10:14to determine

00:10:16if boomslang snakes

00:10:18have an internal ear.

00:10:20They are also quite selective

00:10:22eaters.

00:10:24Boomslang snakes

00:10:26do not eat only when they are hungry

00:10:28and adults usually wait

00:10:30about two weeks

00:10:32between each meal.

00:10:34The time they wait

00:10:36can vary depending

00:10:38on the frugality

00:10:40of their last meal.

00:10:42These stealthy hunters

00:10:44tend to have

00:10:46a more robust appetite,

00:10:48eating sometimes

00:10:50up to once a week.

00:10:52Now,

00:10:54look at their huge jaws.

00:10:56They are like hypodermic needles,

00:10:58hollow and sharp,

00:11:00allowing them to inject their venom.

00:11:02What is very practical

00:11:04is that these jaws are articulated

00:11:06and lie flat against the upper jaw

00:11:08of the snake when its mouth is closed

00:11:10so as not to flow perpendicularly

00:11:12to their prey.

00:11:16Mokasindos, as they are called,

00:11:18owe this name to the white color

00:11:20inside their mouths

00:11:22that they exhibit when they feel threatened.

00:11:24These semi-aquatic snakes

00:11:26move effortlessly

00:11:28both in water and on land,

00:11:30which is also why they are nicknamed

00:11:32for their thermosensitive jaws,

00:11:34nestled between their eyes and nostrils.

00:11:36They have an extraordinary ability

00:11:38to detect the smallest variations

00:11:40in temperature and focus

00:11:42precisely on their potential prey.

00:11:44It is rare for Mokasindos

00:11:46to attack humans.

00:11:48They rather reserve their venom

00:11:50to respond to a provocation.

00:11:52Here is a tip on how to distinguish

00:11:54non-venomous water snakes

00:11:56from their dangerous counterparts.

00:11:58While water snakes display

00:12:00an elongated silhouette,

00:12:02Mokasindos have a heavier

00:12:04and more robust presence.

00:12:06Another difference is that water snakes

00:12:08are proportioned to their neck,

00:12:10unlike the large and thick head

00:12:12of a Mokasin.

00:12:14The pupils of water snakes are round

00:12:16and differ from vertical pupils,

00:12:18similar to those of cats,

00:12:20of Mokasins.

00:12:22In addition, non-venomous snakes

00:12:24do not have the characteristic facial

00:12:26faucets of vipers that Mokasindos have.

00:12:28When they feel in danger,

00:12:30non-venomous water snakes

00:12:32resort to an ingenious tactic

00:12:34to imitate their venomous cousins.

00:12:36By flattening their bodies and heads,

00:12:38they aspire to appear more massive,

00:12:40thus resembling Mokasindos.

00:12:42However, a keen eye

00:12:44can discern the superficiality.

00:12:46The flattened head of the water snake

00:12:48takes a triangular shape,

00:12:50distinct from the robust

00:12:52and thick head of a Mokasin.

00:12:57Here is another venomous star among all,

00:12:59the copper snake.

00:13:01Their muscles recall the smell of cucumber,

00:13:03and their venom is quite particular

00:13:06Would you be in trouble

00:13:08if this snake bit you?

00:13:10Yes, absolutely.

00:13:12Does this venom help to cure

00:13:14mortal affections?

00:13:16Well, in a way.

00:13:18It is not a totally proven fact at the moment,

00:13:20but researchers have been testing

00:13:22this theory for a long time,

00:13:24and they have noticed that

00:13:26the venom of the copper snake

00:13:28could, if it were to cure

00:13:30serious conditions,

00:13:32slow down the progression.

00:13:34However, this is not always

00:13:36the case.

00:13:38Copper snakes are known

00:13:40for their unaggressive nature,

00:13:42because they are shy and discreet creatures.

00:13:44They represent less than 1%

00:13:46of snake bites in America.

00:13:48Their venom is a powerful neurotoxin

00:13:50that paralyzes nerves,

00:13:52and because of their small teeth,

00:13:54they have to gnaw their prey

00:13:56to inject the venom.

00:13:58When they feel threatened,

00:14:00the copper snake wraps

00:14:02its head around its head.

00:14:06The mysterious and fascinating

00:14:08Black Mamba

00:14:10made its kingdom out of the

00:14:12rocky savannah, and wandered

00:14:14near the hermitages.

00:14:16With a range of colors ranging

00:14:18from gray to dark brown,

00:14:20it owes its name to the dark

00:14:22interior of its mouth.

00:14:24The Black Mambas are among

00:14:26the fastest snakes in the world,

00:14:28reaching speeds of 15 to 20 km

00:14:30per second.

00:14:32Unprovoked attacks on humans

00:14:34remain unproven,

00:14:36and this snake is actually

00:14:38responsible for a small number

00:14:40of deadly incidents each year.

00:14:42The vipers of the pyramids

00:14:44have the fascinating ability

00:14:46to produce a sound that

00:14:48gives goosebumps,

00:14:50accompanied by an impressive

00:14:52demonstration.

00:14:54The unique shape of its scales

00:14:56allows it to create a whistling

00:14:58sound. These sounds serve as

00:15:00clear warnings to anyone

00:15:02who would be in immediate

00:15:04proximity to the snake.

00:15:06Despite the many victims

00:15:08that can be imputed to it,

00:15:10without any treatment,

00:15:12the bites of the vipers of the pyramids

00:15:14are only deadly in less than

00:15:1610% of cases. This strongly contrasts

00:15:18with the royal cobra and the

00:15:20Black Mamba, whose untreated bites

00:15:22are much more deadly.

00:15:24The vipers of the pyramids are

00:15:26some of the most lively and

00:15:28unpredictable snakes in the world.

00:15:32When you walk in nature,

00:15:34remember not to disturb

00:15:36the snakes you come across,

00:15:38even if they no longer seem

00:15:40completely alive to you.

00:15:42Some venomous snakes act like

00:15:44loposomes and can attack

00:15:46if they are disturbed.

00:15:48If you see one,

00:15:50give it some space.

00:15:52As for snakes, they are generally

00:15:54less likely to feel threatened.

00:15:56Trying to catch or hit a snake

00:15:58is to be avoided, because it is

00:16:00at this moment that most bites

00:16:02occur. And do not let yourself

00:16:04be abused by their size,

00:16:06even the smallest snakes

00:16:08can be dangerous. Thus,

00:16:10brown baby snakes even

00:16:12nest with venom. It is therefore

00:16:14preferable to admire them from

00:16:16afar. Every year, more than

00:16:187,000 Americans are victims of

00:16:20snake bites, often due to

00:16:22their size.

00:16:24It is crucial not to do anything

00:16:26like this and to seek medical

00:16:28assistance in case of bite.

00:16:30Understanding how to differentiate

00:16:32venomous snakes from non-venomous

00:16:34snakes is the key to evaluating

00:16:36potential risks. Contact a

00:16:38professional if you are not sure

00:16:40of the exact nature of a snake

00:16:42and never handle one in the

00:16:44palm of your hand, even if it

00:16:46seems harmless to you.

00:16:48You are driving with your

00:16:50car in an Australian country.

00:16:52The sun is burning, but you see

00:16:54a group of cute kangaroos jumping.

00:16:56You stop the car and go out

00:16:58to film them with your phone.

00:17:00You even make a live story to

00:17:02impress your friends and followers.

00:17:04Suddenly, one of the kangaroos

00:17:06rushes towards you at full speed,

00:17:08ready to fall on you.

00:17:10Well, let's stop here for a second

00:17:12just before you or your friend

00:17:14get hurt. Kangaroos have

00:17:16extremely powerful legs and

00:17:18can jump up to 10 meters high.

00:17:20These powerful legs allow them

00:17:22to move at speeds up to

00:17:2450 km per hour,

00:17:26faster than any human being.

00:17:28So if you plan to distance

00:17:30a crowd of angry kangaroos,

00:17:32or only one of them,

00:17:34you have no chance of getting there.

00:17:36They will have chased you

00:17:38and put you to the ground even before

00:17:40you reach your maximum speed.

00:17:42Their tail is just as powerful

00:17:44and sometimes acts like a fifth member

00:17:46when they grow peacefully in a field.

00:17:48Just like cows, kangaroos

00:17:50generally feed on grass,

00:17:52shrubs, moss and even mushrooms.

00:17:54The tail is essential

00:17:56to the balance of the kangaroo

00:17:58and represents half its size

00:18:00standing up, which can

00:18:02be as close as 1.80 meters.

00:18:04Let's get back to our sheep.

00:18:06The kangaroo is only a few meters away from you.

00:18:08The first thing you have to do

00:18:10is protect your body.

00:18:12Turn to the side and stretch your arm.

00:18:14Make sure your head is out of reach.

00:18:16Their legs are equipped with

00:18:18clamped claws that are

00:18:20really better avoided.

00:18:22The blows are carried by both feet.

00:18:24They then move their weight on the tail

00:18:26and then deploy their hind legs

00:18:28causing a double kick

00:18:30to push their opponent,

00:18:32in this case, Annie and yourself.

00:18:34The feet of these animals are huge,

00:18:36which makes them extremely dangerous.

00:18:38Time is still frozen,

00:18:40so Annie and you take position,

00:18:42ready for the kangaroo's attack.

00:18:44And... action!

00:18:46The kangaroo stands in front of you

00:18:48like a boxer on a ring.

00:18:50He gets closer, but you are in the right position

00:18:52to reduce the damage as much as possible.

00:18:54However, even knowing how to defend yourself,

00:18:56facing a kangaroo of 1.80 meters

00:18:58is not the best strategy.

00:19:00The best you can do

00:19:02is to step back slowly without surprising him.

00:19:04Do not turn your back to him

00:19:06at the risk of being attacked from behind.

00:19:08If beating in retreat is not enough,

00:19:10try to understand that he won this battle.

00:19:12Do not extend any visual contact

00:19:14and, if you can,

00:19:16try to crouch on yourself.

00:19:18You may have missed some warning signs

00:19:20by watching them from afar.

00:19:22Kangaroos did not kick

00:19:24because they were happy to see you.

00:19:26In reality, it was a sign

00:19:28not to approach.

00:19:30When one of them jumped at you,

00:19:32he stood up high on his legs

00:19:34and flexed his muscles

00:19:36to assert his dominant position.

00:19:38The big mistake was to stop you

00:19:40while he was peeing quietly.

00:19:42They considered you a threat

00:19:44and went on the defensive.

00:19:46We can see several kangaroo babies

00:19:48coming out of their mother's pocket.

00:19:50Female kangaroos have a pocket

00:19:52on their belly made of a fold of skin

00:19:54to shelter the babies.

00:19:56Newborns are the size of a grape vine,

00:19:58but they will soon reach the impressive size

00:20:00that we know them at an adult age.

00:20:02After only 10 months,

00:20:04the babies are ready to come out of the mother's pocket

00:20:06to start jumping on their own.

00:20:08Anyway,

00:20:10Annie and you have survived this confrontation

00:20:12for the moment.

00:20:14But what happens if you find yourself

00:20:16facing a kangaroo 12 meters high?

00:20:18I'm kidding.

00:20:20Let's stick to the strict reality

00:20:22and highly probable events.

00:20:24For example, what to do in case of encounter

00:20:26with a grizzly?

00:20:28The first thing to know is that they are very cute

00:20:30when they gather bays or scratch their backs

00:20:32against trees, but their dark side

00:20:34goes far beyond that of kangaroos.

00:20:36You are on a picnic, Annie and you,

00:20:38when suddenly a grizzly approaches

00:20:40attracted by the smell of food.

00:20:42Do not panic,

00:20:44we will freeze the time again

00:20:46to give you a chance to think about

00:20:48what to do.

00:20:50In general, the best way to survive

00:20:52a grizzly attack is to avoid it completely.

00:20:54Grizzlies are big vagabonds

00:20:56always looking for the best spots

00:20:58to feed.

00:21:00The smell of this bear is impressive

00:21:02and it is his nose that leads him

00:21:04directly to your picnic.

00:21:06The bear is right next to you.

00:21:08Do not panic.

00:21:10You just have to show him that you are just a visitor

00:21:12on his territory.

00:21:14Step back slowly while speaking

00:21:16in a low and calm tone.

00:21:18He must know that you do not hold his head

00:21:20because the dominant creature here is him.

00:21:22There is a lot of tension

00:21:24during a face-to-face with a bear,

00:21:26so do not turn your back to him

00:21:28and do not run away.

00:21:30Grizzlies can attack you

00:21:32and you have little chance of winning the race.

00:21:34These animals are faster than humans

00:21:36and know how to swim and climb trees.

00:21:38So unless you know

00:21:40how to get wings and fly,

00:21:42do not try to distance a grizzly.

00:21:44Visual contact

00:21:46is also to be avoided.

00:21:48Just like cute kangaroos,

00:21:50bears take this look very seriously

00:21:52and monitor each of your movements.

00:21:54A direct and prolonged visual contact

00:21:56will be perceived as a sign of aggression

00:21:58or challenge.

00:22:00Grizzlies are the kind to test their opponent

00:22:02by trying to scare him.

00:22:04They can even simulate a charge

00:22:06to evaluate his reaction.

00:22:08Whatever he does, you will have to hold on.

00:22:10If the bear lowers his head

00:22:12and makes his neck bow to you,

00:22:14it is because he intends to charge you.

00:22:16As we have frozen the time,

00:22:18for the moment we can not know

00:22:20with certainty what his next move will be.

00:22:22Let's dive back into the action

00:22:24to see what he's going to do

00:22:26depending on the bear.

00:22:28So, action!

00:22:30The grizzly does not show any signs

00:22:32of aggression so far.

00:22:34He is just curious about the scenery.

00:22:36Remember the instructions.

00:22:38No visual contact.

00:22:40Ok, the bear is now starting to show

00:22:42a certain hostility,

00:22:44which means he could attack you.

00:22:46Stay where you are.

00:22:48He's getting closer.

00:22:50The best thing to do in this scenario

00:22:52is to completely submit yourself

00:22:54and hold your head with your arms.

00:22:56Stay still.

00:22:58The bear could understand that you are submitting yourself

00:23:00and leave.

00:23:02They sometimes manage to stay in the parishes

00:23:04for a while before camping out.

00:23:06Fortunately, this bear only had it

00:23:08after the picnic food.

00:23:10So he grabbed the sandwiches and left.

00:23:12You were lucky this time.

00:23:14But if the bear had decided to attack,

00:23:16it would have had to push him back as much as possible.

00:23:18Use all objects nearby

00:23:20that can serve as projectiles.

00:23:22Aim for the most sensitive points,

00:23:24such as the eyes or the muzzle,

00:23:26and throw them with all your strength.

00:23:28What distinguishes pumas from other predators

00:23:30is that they are excellent trackers.

00:23:32While you are hiking in the forest,

00:23:34you do not realize that you are no longer alone

00:23:36and that an invisible and threatening presence

00:23:38has recently accompanied your walk.

00:23:40Pumas will track you

00:23:42if they think you are edible

00:23:44and can appear from nowhere

00:23:46at the right time.

00:23:48These felines do not attack humans in principle,

00:23:50but who knows what could well happen

00:23:52in the head of such a big cat?

00:23:54The golden rule against a puma

00:23:56is about the same as for other animals.

00:23:58Hold on tight and don't run away.

00:24:00Running could trigger

00:24:02an immediate attack from the feline

00:24:04and it will catch you for sure.

00:24:06These animals are strong

00:24:08and have very fast reflexes.

00:24:10Their claws are powerful

00:24:12and their bites are even worse.

00:24:14You don't want to be chased by one of them.

00:24:16As you face it,

00:24:18you must be taller than the puma.

00:24:20Raise your arms and inflate your chest.

00:24:22Always keep visual contact

00:24:24to try to assert your dominance.

00:24:26You must not appear weaker

00:24:28or submissive to felines,

00:24:30unlike grizzlies or kangaroos.

00:24:32On the contrary,

00:24:34you must show that you are more powerful than him.

00:24:36So don't crouch down and don't tremble.

00:24:38He monitors each of your movements.

00:24:40The rest of the events depend on him.

00:24:42Let's go back, okay?

00:24:44Well, it looks like he's being aggressive.

00:24:46He's a tough puma

00:24:48and he doesn't want to lose his prey.

00:24:50If being imposing doesn't give you anything,

00:24:52try to shake your arms in all directions

00:24:54and shout very loudly.

00:24:56If you can throw stones at him to scare him,

00:24:58it would be a plus.

00:25:00The feline seems to want to attack.

00:25:02Whatever happens, don't flinch.

00:25:04After a while, he submits and runs away.

00:25:06You won this time,

00:25:08but that doesn't mean it will be the next time.

00:25:10If the puma takes it from you,

00:25:12your only option to stay alive

00:25:14is to defend yourself and fight back.

00:25:16Lean on your environment to help you

00:25:18and above all, don't give up.

00:25:44If you see two deep wounds on your leg,

00:25:46they correspond to the hook of a venomous snake.

00:25:48In the case of a non-venomous snake,

00:25:50you will see small marks of pointy teeth

00:25:52forming a U.

00:25:54There are about 600 species of venomous snakes

00:25:56and you must pay attention to vipers

00:25:58and cobras.

00:26:00Each of these snakes has a different type of venom

00:26:02and therefore requires different care.

00:26:04If a viper bites you,

00:26:06don't rely on the wound.

00:26:08Imprisoning the venom in the same area

00:26:10could aggravate the damage caused to the tissue.

00:26:12You can quickly go to the nearest hospital

00:26:14to get treated.

00:26:16If a cobra bites someone,

00:26:18you must bandage the bite

00:26:20to prevent the venom from spreading

00:26:22in the bloodstream.

00:26:24Keep an eye on the victim to make sure

00:26:26she is breathing well

00:26:28because cobra venom can paralyze the diaphragm.

00:26:30Don't try to suck the venom.

00:26:32It spreads so fast in the blood

00:26:34that it will be useless.

00:26:36Observe the snake and if possible

00:26:38take a picture to show it to medical staff.

00:26:40Allergies

00:26:42Most people react to allergenic compounds

00:26:44by nasal discharge or sneezing.

00:26:46But others react in a much more complex way.

00:26:48A cutaneous eruption

00:26:50can be the sign of an allergic reaction.

00:26:52This kind of irritation can appear

00:26:54a week after exposure to allergenic compounds.

00:26:56Some time ago,

00:26:58a person who had a dental device

00:27:00developed cutaneous eruptions

00:27:02under her mouth and belly.

00:27:04It turned out that she was allergic to nickel

00:27:06contained in the rings of the device.

00:27:08If cutaneous eruptions appear on your skin

00:27:10after being exposed to the sun for 1 or 2 hours,

00:27:12it is not a sunburn,

00:27:14but an allergic reaction.

00:27:16You can also have redness,

00:27:18pimples and blemishes.

00:27:20If this happens, go to the emergency room.

00:27:22They will examine you

00:27:24and explain what to do.

00:27:26Some drugs can be used

00:27:28but also fruits such as citrus or tuberculosis.

00:27:30If you are allergic to pollen,

00:27:32beware of fruits and vegetables.

00:27:34Some contain the same proteins

00:27:36and your immune system will react

00:27:38as such by causing

00:27:40chewing, swelling of the mouth

00:27:42and maybe even the face.

00:27:44If you have a deep wound on your hand,

00:27:46the first thing to do is to call an ambulance.

00:27:48You are stuck in a car in the middle of winter

00:27:50and the cold makes you shiver.

00:27:52That's a good sign.

00:27:54When the temperature drops below a comfortable level,

00:27:56the body trembles to increase its heat production

00:27:58by nearly 500%.

00:28:00But the shivers won't warm you up for long.

00:28:02After a while, your muscles will lack fuel

00:28:04and they will stop contracting.

00:28:06If a cold person keeps shivering

00:28:08and falls asleep, act quickly.

00:28:10Take her to the shelter,

00:28:12remove her wet clothes, rub her hands and feet,

00:28:14wrap her in blankets and apply

00:28:16hot compresses on her chest,

00:28:18neck and belly.

00:28:20Do not apply hot compresses on her arms or legs.

00:28:22The sudden heat will force

00:28:24the cold blood to return to the heart,

00:28:26brain and lungs and will lower the temperature

00:28:28in the center of the body.

00:28:30While you are driving on a deserted road,

00:28:32you may hear a tornado warning on the radio.

00:28:34A tornado warning means

00:28:36that one of them is likely to form.

00:28:38But a tornado warning means

00:28:40that a tornado has appeared on the radar

00:28:42or that it has been spotted by a person.

00:28:44You must also beware of hail.

00:28:46It appears when the rising currents

00:28:48of a storm push raindrops

00:28:50into thick clouds where they freeze.

00:28:52But when a tornado approaches,

00:28:54it can hail without rain.

00:28:56Everything suddenly becomes calm

00:28:58and there is no wind.

00:29:00You will hear hail moving in rotation

00:29:02or towards the sky,

00:29:04then you will hear a sound of a waterfall

00:29:06which will turn into a roar

00:29:08when the tornado approaches.

00:29:10This sound is similar to that of a train

00:29:12or an airplane jet.

00:29:14Debris will begin to fall

00:29:16and a cloud in the shape of a funnel

00:29:18will begin to spin,

00:29:20attracting branches and leaves upwards.

00:29:22If the tornado does not move

00:29:24to the left or to the right,

00:29:26it may be heading towards you

00:29:28If you are watching TV at home,

00:29:30you hear a strange sound.

00:29:32It sounds like an air flow,

00:29:34but after checking all the doors,

00:29:36you don't say that there is nothing.

00:29:38The next day, you feel a pressure

00:29:40in your chest that gets worse

00:29:42as the week goes by.

00:29:44These chest pains are accompanied

00:29:46by a terrible feeling of exhaustion.

00:29:48You then tell yourself that you have

00:29:50a health problem, but the real problem

00:29:52comes from your house.

00:29:54You may be intoxicated

00:29:56by the oxygen in your body.

00:29:58This intoxication can cause headaches,

00:30:00nausea and a state of confusion.

00:30:02In this case, run outside to get some air

00:30:04and call an ambulance.

00:30:06Also get a carbon monoxide detector

00:30:08and install it in the hallway

00:30:10or in the room where you sleep.

00:30:12Check the batteries twice a year

00:30:14and if the alarm goes off,

00:30:16go out immediately.

00:30:18As you ice skate on a frozen lake,

00:30:20you hear a crack and you suddenly

00:30:22find yourself in icy water.

00:30:24Don't panic, it will pass

00:30:26after 1 to 3 minutes.

00:30:28Then find a piece of solid ice

00:30:30to which you hang.

00:30:32Don't try to climb it,

00:30:34just put your arms on the ice

00:30:36and push with your legs

00:30:38as if you wanted to swim forward.

00:30:40This will help you crawl out of the water.

00:30:42Once you are on the ice,

00:30:44don't get up,

00:30:46because your weight will

00:30:48concentrate on a small surface

00:30:50of ice and it will crack again.

00:30:52Glasses are made of several layers of material

00:30:54whose purpose is to make them resistant.

00:30:56Here is how to do it.

00:30:58Avoid the windshield and the rear window

00:31:00because they are more difficult to break.

00:31:02Choose glasses for the driver

00:31:04or passenger side.

00:31:06If you have a hammer,

00:31:08don't aim at the center of the glass,

00:31:10but rather the edges,

00:31:12where the glass is less resistant.

00:31:14If the glasses resist the hammer,

00:31:16screwdriver or other tool,

00:31:18look for a small pointed stone.

00:31:20Open the hood, remove the candle,

00:31:22break the porcelain case

00:31:24and hit the ceramic piece

00:31:26anywhere on the glass.

00:31:28Imagine that you are on vacation

00:31:30somewhere on the Pacific coast.

00:31:32Suddenly, you feel a strong shock.

00:31:34It may be the forerunner

00:31:36of a tsunami approaching.

00:31:38It could also trigger big waves

00:31:40several thousand kilometers away.

00:31:42But there are other signs

00:31:44that announce the approach of a tsunami.

00:31:46One of them is the sudden change

00:31:48of the sea level

00:31:50to 1.5 kilometers inland.

00:31:52According to many experts,

00:31:54when the sea level starts to rise,

00:31:56there are 5 minutes left to evacuate

00:31:58before the giant wave hits.

00:32:00And don't forget,

00:32:02science is always there to help you.

00:32:06On the way to the Caribbean,

00:32:08your plane breaks down

00:32:10and you crash straight into

00:32:12a dangerous tropical forest.

00:32:14If you want to survive

00:32:16the course,

00:32:18you will have to overcome

00:32:20a series of challenges.

00:32:22Great holidays, right?

00:32:24You know you can't survive

00:32:26without water for a long time.

00:32:28So your first mission

00:32:30is to find a drinking water source.

00:32:32Near your camp,

00:32:34there are a few options.

00:32:36You have a small pond,

00:32:38a stream and a juicy cactus.

00:32:40Which water source

00:32:42do you think is the most reliable?

00:32:46Most of the cacti

00:32:48are quite toxic

00:32:50and instead of quenching your thirst,

00:32:52they could give you stomach cramps.

00:32:54The pond is not a good option either.

00:32:56It is full of all kinds

00:32:58of bacteria and therefore

00:33:00to be prescribed.

00:33:02The stream is your safest water source.

00:33:04It's the freshest.

00:33:06It's been two hours

00:33:08since your accident.

00:33:10The survivalists know that your next step

00:33:12is to find a shelter or spend the night.

00:33:14You look around

00:33:16and spot three different options.

00:33:18There is a big tree with a branch

00:33:20on which you could rest for the night.

00:33:22There is a rather dark and humid cave

00:33:24that seems quite scary to you.

00:33:26And there is a clearing in the forest

00:33:28where you could make yourself

00:33:30a bed of fortune with dead leaves.

00:33:32What do you choose?

00:33:38There is a wide choice of natural shelters

00:33:40in nature.

00:33:42There are also large trees

00:33:44because they can be hit by lightning

00:33:46and a clearing will not protect you

00:33:48from potential predators or bad weather.

00:33:50This is why the cave

00:33:52is generally a good option

00:33:54especially if you are in a cold region.

00:33:56Caves tend to maintain

00:33:58a constant temperature.

00:34:00So it's a good place to spend the night.

00:34:02More than ten hours have passed

00:34:04and your stomach is starting to growl.

00:34:06You go on an expedition

00:34:08to find food

00:34:10and plants that could be edible.

00:34:12You just need to determine

00:34:14the best way to know

00:34:16if it is safe to eat them or not.

00:34:18What should you do then?

00:34:20You could feel the plant

00:34:22and inspect its color.

00:34:24You could rub the plant on your skin

00:34:26and wait for a reaction.

00:34:28Or you could take a small bite

00:34:30and wait for any effects.

00:34:32What is your opinion in this scenario?

00:34:40The simple fact of feeling a plant

00:34:42and judging its color

00:34:44will not be enough to determine

00:34:46if it is toxic.

00:34:48Rubbing it on your skin

00:34:50could give you some indications

00:34:52but you should go a little further.

00:34:54The best way to see

00:34:56if a plant is edible or not

00:34:58is to take a small bite

00:35:00and wait for any undesirable effects.

00:35:02Of course, this option

00:35:04already presents a risk

00:35:06but if your stomach growls

00:35:08at the end of your second day

00:35:10in the jungle,

00:35:12you start to hear noises.

00:35:14It looks like there are predators

00:35:16in the surroundings.

00:35:18What is the best idea

00:35:20to stay safe in this case?

00:35:22You could climb the highest tree

00:35:24and wait until you heard nothing.

00:35:26You could hold on

00:35:28and light a fire.

00:35:30Or you could spend the night

00:35:32in the open

00:35:34so that they do not find you.

00:35:38If you decide

00:35:40to go on an excursion at night,

00:35:42it could be very risky.

00:35:44Although most wild animals

00:35:46are not dangerous by nature,

00:35:48they have a hunting instinct

00:35:50and may want to

00:35:52only eat you.

00:35:54Lighting a fire in the middle of nature

00:35:56tends to protect you from the biggest predators

00:35:58in the jungle.

00:36:00The fire frightens them

00:36:02while it means

00:36:04that the area is occupied.

00:36:06You managed to spend your first two days

00:36:08in the jungle in one piece.

00:36:10Congratulations!

00:36:12But the next morning,

00:36:14walking in the woods,

00:36:16you come across the feline

00:36:18you heard the night before.

00:36:20It is a female jaguar

00:36:22and her cubs.

00:36:24She starts to growl

00:36:26and show you her claws.

00:36:28What should you do now,

00:36:30Indiana Jones?

00:36:32Your first option

00:36:34is to stay in your position

00:36:36and grow as big as possible,

00:36:38while growling the same

00:36:40to frighten this mother jaguar.

00:36:42Your third option

00:36:44is to throw pieces of wood

00:36:46and pebbles at her,

00:36:48hoping that this is enough

00:36:50to keep her at a distance

00:36:52while you move away slowly.

00:36:54Jumping in the air

00:36:56could make this mother jaguar

00:36:58even more agitated

00:37:00and push her to attack you.

00:37:02Small jaguars tend to be more protective

00:37:04and more reactive.

00:37:06Throwing pieces of wood and pebbles

00:37:08could have the same effect as jumping,

00:37:10which is to be avoided.

00:37:12Your best option would therefore be

00:37:14to stay there and grow as big as possible.

00:37:20Just like Chris McAnlis in Into the Wild,

00:37:22you come across a river

00:37:24that you have to cross

00:37:26and you have to imagine

00:37:28the safest way to cross it.

00:37:30You can take off your shoes

00:37:32as well as most of the things

00:37:34that weigh you down

00:37:36and cross it swimming.

00:37:38You can build a fortune raft

00:37:40with the materials on board

00:37:42like tree trunks.

00:37:44You can throw a stick

00:37:46to evaluate the speed

00:37:48and strength of the current

00:37:50and try to find a narrower section

00:37:52to cross it naked.

00:37:54Here is what you should never do.

00:37:56Cross a river at high current

00:37:58because it reduces your grip.

00:38:00Hmm.

00:38:06And building a fortune raft

00:38:08doesn't seem like a war in nature

00:38:10where it could take you days.

00:38:12On the other hand,

00:38:14throwing a stick to test the current

00:38:16is an expert trick

00:38:18that will help you evaluate

00:38:20if this river is safe to cross.

00:38:22Prefer narrow and shallow areas

00:38:24if you see any.

00:38:26During an excursion,

00:38:28you accidentally cut your hand

00:38:30on a sharp rock.

00:38:32No time to panic.

00:38:34You have to act quickly.

00:38:36But what should you do?

00:38:38Hurry to find the source of the bleeding

00:38:40and apply direct pressure?

00:38:42Search for a clean water source,

00:38:44rinse the wound

00:38:46and cover it with a bandage?

00:38:48Or should you look for leaves

00:38:50to protect the wound?

00:38:56This last idea is to be proscribed.

00:38:58Never cover a wound

00:39:00without cleaning it beforehand.

00:39:02You probably won't have time

00:39:04to find a water source

00:39:06while you empty yourself of your blood.

00:39:08Which leaves us with only one option.

00:39:10You should find the source of the bleeding

00:39:12and apply pressure.

00:39:16You come across an animal carcass

00:39:18in the middle of nature.

00:39:20It looks fresh,

00:39:22but you don't know its origin.

00:39:24What should you consider

00:39:26before deciding to feed on it?

00:39:28Examine the color of its skin

00:39:30or feathers

00:39:32and make sure it doesn't smell strong.

00:39:36Pay attention to the presence

00:39:38of carcass-like birds nearby

00:39:40or wait to see another animal

00:39:42interested in this carcass.

00:39:46If carcasses, like vultures,

00:39:48hang in the parishes,

00:39:50it probably means that the carcass

00:39:52is contaminated.

00:39:54These birds have a rather developed sense

00:39:56of smell and are attracted

00:39:58by the carcass in decomposition.

00:40:00But if they avoid the animal,

00:40:02it could be a sign that it was sick

00:40:04or contaminated.

00:40:06In other words,

00:40:08your first option is still the best.

00:40:10It's been three days now

00:40:12and you decide it's high time

00:40:14to call for help.

00:40:16Why have you waited so long?

00:40:18A few options are available to you.

00:40:20You can call at regular intervals.

00:40:22You can blow in your survival whistle

00:40:24three times in a row.

00:40:26Or you can put out your fire

00:40:28to send signals with its smoke.

00:40:30Which seems to you

00:40:32to be the best choice here?

00:40:40Let's be frank.

00:40:42You shouldn't waste your precious forces

00:40:44shouting minute after minute.

00:40:46You'd better preserve your energy

00:40:48Blowing can be useful

00:40:50if you hear human noises

00:40:52in the forest.

00:40:54Otherwise, it's also a waste of energy.

00:40:56The best choice

00:40:58is probably to send

00:41:00smoke signals to the sky.

00:41:02Let's hope the rescuers notice you.

00:41:04Otherwise, well,

00:41:06this animal carcass looks more and more

00:41:08attractive, doesn't it?

00:41:12You fly over the Pacific Ocean

00:41:14when suddenly a storm hits the plane

00:41:16The plane starts to descend

00:41:18and you lose control.

00:41:20You quickly equip yourself

00:41:22with a parachute,

00:41:24you eject from the plane

00:41:26and you land on an island.

00:41:28Fortunately, you were the only one

00:41:30aboard the aircraft

00:41:32carrying goods abroad.

00:41:34Luckily, the storm

00:41:36didn't damage your parachute.

00:41:38You detach yourself

00:41:40and head for the nearest shelter

00:41:42under palm trees.

00:41:45The next day

00:41:48The sun shines

00:41:50and the waves seem pleasant and friendly.

00:41:52You wake up and look around you.

00:41:54There is nothing but a large stretch

00:41:56of water surrounding you everywhere.

00:41:58There are no boats,

00:42:00no humans,

00:42:02no other living beings in the shelters.

00:42:04You travel the island trying to find anything.

00:42:06You don't even know what you're looking for.

00:42:08On one side of the small island

00:42:10you see scrap metal

00:42:12lying on the shore.

00:42:14You rush there

00:42:16and try to see if there is anything useful.

00:42:18Unfortunately,

00:42:20everything has been destroyed

00:42:22except a sealed box that came out of it.

00:42:24You open it

00:42:26and see dozens of duct tape rolls

00:42:28stacked on top of each other.

00:42:30After crossing the island,

00:42:32you return to your camp

00:42:34dragging the duct tape box with you.

00:42:38You try to understand what to do

00:42:40and suddenly you have a wonderful idea.

00:42:44Some places on the island are difficult to access

00:42:46and as your shoes are damaged,

00:42:48you will make yourself sandals.

00:42:50To do this,

00:42:52you grab a few branches

00:42:54and try to use duct tape

00:42:56to make a new pair of shoes.

00:42:58After several unsuccessful attempts,

00:43:00you are about to give up.

00:43:02It is then that you attach duct tape

00:43:04to pieces of tree bark

00:43:06that are about the size of your foot.

00:43:08These will be the soles

00:43:10of your new shoes.

00:43:12The duct tape is smooth

00:43:14and will not hurt you.

00:43:16After adding several branches,

00:43:18you wrap the duct tape around your feet

00:43:20and voila!

00:43:22You have sandals in canvas duct tape.

00:43:24You can now venture

00:43:26into the rocky parts of the island

00:43:28without damaging your feet.

00:43:30As you walk along the island,

00:43:32you begin to feel the heat.

00:43:34You wrap your shirt around your head

00:43:36and this is not enough to protect you.

00:43:38You use duct tape

00:43:40to create a hat with leaves.

00:43:42You then place it on your head.

00:43:44You can now leave safely.

00:43:46After a while,

00:43:48you come back with objects

00:43:50that you found on the island.

00:43:52At this time,

00:43:54you begin to feel your stomach growl.

00:43:56Then, on a rocky reef,

00:43:58you spot big crabs and delicious fish.

00:44:00But you can't catch them

00:44:02with your bare hands.

00:44:04You grab a long branch

00:44:06and palm leaves

00:44:08and tie it to make a net.

00:44:10You then use duct tape

00:44:12to reinforce it

00:44:14and you head for the reef.

00:44:16You wear your lucky sandals

00:44:18and your hat to protect your head

00:44:20and you transport the net

00:44:22to catch fish.

00:44:24So far, you have only used

00:44:26two rolls of duct tape.

00:44:28After a while,

00:44:30you manage to catch some fish

00:44:32You make a fire

00:44:34and start to grill your catch.

00:44:36You sit on a log

00:44:38but this seat is not very comfortable.

00:44:40You take duct tape

00:44:42and you make a mat.

00:44:44Once the food is ready,

00:44:46you enjoy yourself.

00:44:48But there is another problem,

00:44:50the water.

00:44:52There is no fresh water in the surroundings

00:44:54but a storm is preparing.

00:44:56In the meantime,

00:44:58you take some coconuts

00:45:00to refresh yourself.

00:45:02You prepare a small hut

00:45:04by gathering branches and leaves

00:45:06and tying them together

00:45:08so that the water cannot infiltrate

00:45:10into your new house.

00:45:12At the same time,

00:45:14you create a funnel

00:45:16with duct tape

00:45:18to collect rainwater.

00:45:20After entering the funnel,

00:45:22the water is collected

00:45:24in an artificial pond

00:45:26also made with duct tape.

00:45:28The storm starts to prepare

00:45:30and you stay inside your hut

00:45:32where you have your new floor mat.

00:45:34You get bored

00:45:36so you create a chair and a table

00:45:38with duct tape to make the hut

00:45:40a little more comfortable.

00:45:42It starts to rain

00:45:44and you notice that water has accumulated

00:45:46in the reservoir you built.

00:45:48You drink it immediately

00:45:50using a coconut shell as a glass.

00:45:52Your hut resists the storm

00:45:54and you sleep on your comfortable mattress.

00:45:58The next day,

00:46:00you check the duct tape

00:46:02and you see that you are halfway

00:46:04to your last roll of duct tape.

00:46:06You have built a solid and secure hut

00:46:08and you have a regular supply

00:46:10of food from the reef.

00:46:12You have already spent 5 days on the island

00:46:14so it is time to find a way out.

00:46:18You have done your best to get help

00:46:20but nothing.

00:46:22Not a plane or a boat in sight.

00:46:24You desperately try to get out

00:46:26and you are lucky.

00:46:28You see a cargo far away.

00:46:30You have to act quickly.

00:46:34After reviewing

00:46:36your box of duct tape,

00:46:38you decide to create a raft

00:46:40to go to the sea.

00:46:42You gather enough food and water

00:46:44for the trip and you get to work.

00:46:48You start by gathering big ronds

00:46:50for the base and you put them side by side.

00:46:52You have a rope

00:46:54made of tree bark

00:46:56and leaves to tie the trunks together.

00:46:58You make sure it is big enough

00:47:00so you can hold on to it.

00:47:02You then take another series of ronds

00:47:04and you place them on the base

00:47:06then you repeat the same process

00:47:08to create a second layer.

00:47:10This way, you minimize the risk of sagging.

00:47:12Finally, you glue duct tape

00:47:14on all the weak points to strengthen your raft.

00:47:16With the help of a few branches,

00:47:18you create rams to move forward

00:47:20with pegs made with duct tape.

00:47:22You see that you used

00:47:24about 75% of your reserves,

00:47:26including the duct tape

00:47:28you used to build the cabin and the furniture.

00:47:30It is not as solid

00:47:32as new duct tape,

00:47:34but it does the job.

00:47:36Once the base

00:47:38and the rams are finished,

00:47:40you create a small cabin

00:47:42to shelter your food and supplies

00:47:44and protect them from the waves.

00:47:46You also make a wooden mast

00:47:48and use a piece of fabric as a sail.

00:47:50You put the raft on the water

00:47:52and start rowing.

00:47:54So far, everything is going well.

00:47:56You open the sail and take a break.

00:47:58You turn around

00:48:00and look at the island

00:48:02that has been your home

00:48:04for the last five days.

00:48:06You leave for a dangerous journey.

00:48:08You risk everything,

00:48:10but if you stay on the island

00:48:12for too long,

00:48:14you certainly won't make it.

00:48:16It's already been an hour

00:48:18but the boat is getting closer.

00:48:20You still have a roll of duct tape

00:48:22to use in case of emergency.

00:48:24The waters are calm

00:48:26and you see dolphins swimming around you.

00:48:28You eat fish

00:48:30and drink water before noticing

00:48:32that the waves have grown.

00:48:34You prepare your sail

00:48:36and you take shelter.

00:48:38Fortunately, your raft is solid.

00:48:40Big waves crash

00:48:42against it,

00:48:44dropping some of your food

00:48:46but the raft is still in one piece.

00:48:50The sun is setting

00:48:52and there is still no sign of life.

00:48:56You use the rest of the duct tape

00:48:58to repair the raft.

00:49:00Even if you lost food

00:49:02during the storm,

00:49:04you have your net to catch more fish.

00:49:06You light a small campfire

00:49:08in a coconut shell.

00:49:10You cook the fish and start eating.

00:49:12You turn around

00:49:14and you see a boat coming towards you.

00:49:16You catch a branch,

00:49:18light it and shake it

00:49:20so that the boat sees you.

00:49:22It looks like you're going to miss it

00:49:24but someone on the boat

00:49:26notices you.

00:49:28They bring down a lifeboat

00:49:30to rescue you.

00:49:32We can say that the duct tape

00:49:34really saved your life.

00:49:38Are you ready for a special challenge?

00:49:40You won't be able to leave

00:49:42for a whole month

00:49:44and your friends will come

00:49:46to give you food and drinks.

00:49:50You will be able to adjust

00:49:52the water temperature

00:49:54whenever you want.

00:49:56You are already excited

00:49:58and you are sure

00:50:00that you will win a lot of money,

00:50:02several hundred euros,

00:50:04when you have held on for a whole month.

00:50:06You recently made a bet

00:50:08with your friends

00:50:10and sat in a bar.

00:50:12You were far from suspecting

00:50:14that a simple conversation

00:50:16would lead to this.

00:50:18You discussed the evolution of humanity

00:50:20and the conversation focused

00:50:22on the possibility

00:50:24that humans are evolving

00:50:26towards aquatic mammals

00:50:28and potentially becoming amphibians.

00:50:30Evolution will prove it to us,

00:50:32you tried to tell your friends.

00:50:34They were not convinced,

00:50:36even with your example

00:50:38that we, humans,

00:50:40have a better grip

00:50:42when we fish with our bare hands.

00:50:44Of course, your friends

00:50:46don't see how this could relate

00:50:48to a possible evolution

00:50:50towards an amphibian state.

00:50:52You felt the need

00:50:54to prove them wrong

00:50:56and while your friends

00:50:58were having fun,

00:51:00you thought about

00:51:02how to prove them wrong.

00:51:04Then the idea came to you.

00:51:06You said,

00:51:08I bet I can stay in a bathtub

00:51:10for a whole month.

00:51:12And now you are following

00:51:14what you seem to suspect.

00:51:16Your knowledge of the particular evolution

00:51:18of humans gives you confidence.

00:51:20You know that there have been

00:51:22some cases in the history of humanity

00:51:24where people adapted naturally

00:51:26to live with the sea.

00:51:28This seems to be a sure bet to you.

00:51:30For example,

00:51:32sea nomads from Southeast Asia

00:51:34have been fishing in their own way

00:51:36for a thousand years.

00:51:38By diving deep into the water

00:51:40to catch their fish,

00:51:42armed with simple lures,

00:51:44these nomads adapted

00:51:46to become bigger over the centuries.

00:51:48This allowed them to pump

00:51:50more oxygen cells

00:51:52into the vital organs

00:51:54and store more of it

00:51:56in order to plunge them

00:51:58into deep water.

00:52:00This understanding is enough

00:52:02to make you laugh all day long.

00:52:04You say it will be the easiest money

00:52:06you have ever earned.

00:52:08And you list what you plan to buy with it.

00:52:10You sleep well during the first night.

00:52:12But you are far from suspecting

00:52:14that your skin absorbs the water

00:52:16from the bathtub while you sleep.

00:52:18Every passing hour,

00:52:20a larger amount of water

00:52:22penetrates your skin.

00:52:24Between the two layers,

00:52:26water bubbles form,

00:52:28creating visible bumps

00:52:30You are slightly alarmed

00:52:32to see the transformation of your skin.

00:52:34You look at your hands.

00:52:36They are all white,

00:52:38with the skin crumbling,

00:52:40and your arms are covered

00:52:42with big blocks full of liquid.

00:52:44It's not nice to see.

00:52:46You hear someone entering the bathroom

00:52:48and you try to calm down.

00:52:50It's only the second day after all.

00:52:52You have to harden yourself.

00:52:54You have to win this bet

00:52:56not only for the money

00:52:58but also for a plate of food.

00:53:00His face quickly becomes pale

00:53:02when he sees the bumps on your arms.

00:53:04Worried, he asks you if you are okay.

00:53:06But, surprisingly,

00:53:08you feel very well and answer

00:53:10that it's just a little bit.

00:53:12You are curious to understand

00:53:14why there is no pain

00:53:16given the appearance of your arms.

00:53:18Without thinking,

00:53:20you start scratching the big bubbles

00:53:22on your arms.

00:53:24You keep rubbing them

00:53:26as if you were rid of a useless weight.

00:53:28You find yourself with a new layer

00:53:30of scales instead of skin.

00:53:32Your friend asks you

00:53:34to end the bet

00:53:36given this sudden change of appearance.

00:53:38But you say that you are okay

00:53:40and that you want to continue.

00:53:42The stake is too high

00:53:44and you desperately want to win.

00:53:46While your friend accepts and leaves,

00:53:48you ask to continue in a jacuzzi.

00:53:50Your wish is granted

00:53:52and now not only

00:53:54your friends come to visit you,

00:53:56but also the members of the village,

00:53:58very curious,

00:54:00because events like this

00:54:02do not remain secret

00:54:04for long in such a small village.

00:54:06Over the days,

00:54:08other scales appear instead of your skin,

00:54:10covering your legs,

00:54:12your arms and the bottom of your body.

00:54:14Your skin is still visible

00:54:16on most of your body,

00:54:18but the scales spread quickly

00:54:20in the same way as a cutaneous eruption.

00:54:22This is the swimming pool of the village,

00:54:24not far from the sea.

00:54:26You now enter the last week of the bet

00:54:28and the whole village is aware of you,

00:54:30the fish man.

00:54:32What you find incredible

00:54:34is that when people visit you

00:54:36in the pool,

00:54:38there is neither fear nor judgment.

00:54:40People are simply delighted and intrigued

00:54:42by the show you offer them.

00:54:44The pool is large but not heated.

00:54:46A teenager asks you if you are hot enough.

00:54:48But you don't notice the cold at all

00:54:50and you feel rather comfortable.

00:54:52Your diet has changed a lot.

00:54:54You mainly eat fish.

00:54:56Palms have grown between your fingers

00:54:58and your toes

00:55:00and small slots on each side of your ribs

00:55:02have opened,

00:55:04forming branches that allow you

00:55:06to breathe underwater.

00:55:08As you continue to evolve,

00:55:10you try to reassure yourself

00:55:12by telling yourself that it's almost over

00:55:14and that winning this bet was all that mattered.

00:55:16You think back to what happened

00:55:18when you and your friends made this bet.

00:55:20You consider all this money.

00:55:22All this will soon have been worth it.

00:55:24And then you can always go back to normal.

00:55:26It will surely only be temporary.

00:55:30The last day of the bet is finally coming.

00:55:32A big party has been organized

00:55:34to celebrate your victory.

00:55:36All the villagers attend the celebration.

00:55:38There is an orchestra

00:55:40and a big feast for everyone.

00:55:42You have fun with the villagers,

00:55:44preferring to stay in your pool, of course.

00:55:46Teenagers throw fish at you

00:55:48and you catch them in your mouth

00:55:50laughing at your own expense.

00:55:52You jump in the air,

00:55:54making turns for the villagers

00:55:56who applaud each time.

00:55:58As the party goes on,

00:56:00you slowly detach yourself

00:56:02from the celebration,

00:56:04meditating alone in your pool.

00:56:06You feel tired of the festivities

00:56:08and the tension.

00:56:10You watch the villagers laugh

00:56:12and party.

00:56:14You feel a sudden urge to leave

00:56:16and the party is no longer of interest to you.

00:56:18The money of the bet

00:56:20is not of interest to you either.

00:56:22You don't care anymore

00:56:24to have proved that everyone was wrong.

00:56:26You only feel the urge to be free.

00:56:28You swim to the edge of the pool.

00:56:30It is night, so no one can see

00:56:32your attempt to escape.

00:56:34You are being pulled out.

00:56:36The weight of your body out of the water

00:56:38is so heavy and your legs and arms

00:56:40are so weak that you collapse

00:56:42Finally,

00:56:44you reach the edge of the beach

00:56:46and you collapse when you reach the water.

00:56:48Out of breath.

00:56:50The small waves of salty water

00:56:52that you feel splash on your face

00:56:54revive you after your exhausting journey.

00:56:56Once you have gathered enough energy,

00:56:58you start swimming towards deeper waters.

00:57:00And like a fish in the water,

00:57:02you swim with ease.

00:57:04What you feel right now

00:57:06is to have been in a cage all your life.

00:57:08Now you are finally free.

00:57:10The graying sensation of the water

00:57:12and its unlimited extension

00:57:14seems heavenly to you.

00:57:16As you swim further in the sea,

00:57:18you suddenly stop to look at the village

00:57:20for a moment.

00:57:22You take a break

00:57:24and you look at what was once

00:57:26everything you knew

00:57:28and you listen to the sounds

00:57:30muffled in the distance

00:57:32while thinking about your old existence.

00:57:34You feel no emotion

00:57:36while looking back,

00:57:38ready to start a new life

00:57:40under the sea.

00:57:42You can turn ordinary matches

00:57:44into waterproof matches.

00:57:46Apply a thin layer of nail polish

00:57:48on your matches and let them dry.

00:57:50Once they are ready,

00:57:52they will remain dry enough to light a fire,

00:57:54even if you drop them in the water.

00:57:56If you get lost somewhere

00:57:58during the winter and you are thirsty,

00:58:00don't eat snow.

00:58:02It contains a lot more air than water,

00:58:04so you won't feel much more hydrated.

00:58:06However, it takes a lot of energy

00:58:08to try to melt it.

00:58:10Worse still, you risk lowering

00:58:12your body temperature

00:58:14and you could fall into hypothermia.

00:58:16If you come across a coyote or a wolf,

00:58:18don't turn your back to it.

00:58:20Move back slowly while facing the animal.

00:58:22However, this only works

00:58:24if the animal is alone.

00:58:26If you come across a seagull,

00:58:28the most important thing is to make sure

00:58:30it doesn't surround you.

00:58:32Move back to a tree and put your back against it.

00:58:34Do it as quickly as possible.

00:58:36Several layers of clothing

00:58:38will warm you up better

00:58:40than a single fur coat or a single warm jacket.

00:58:42The air will be trapped between the layers of clothing,

00:58:44which will isolate you

00:58:46and keep your body warm.

00:58:48If you get lost in the woods,

00:58:50always try to sleep a little above the ground.

00:58:52You can lie down on a layer of branches

00:58:54and leaves like a fortune bed

00:58:56or a hammock between two trees.

00:58:58At night, the temperature drops

00:59:00and the ground becomes cold.

00:59:02Turn off the light while you sleep

00:59:04and the ground will absorb your body heat.

00:59:06You are in a boat

00:59:08in the middle of the sea.

00:59:10There is no food, no fishing net,

00:59:12and you are hungry.

00:59:14It was supposed to be a three-hour excursion.

00:59:16But you know what?

00:59:18You can catch fish with your shoelaces

00:59:20and any object.

00:59:22A phone, a watch, a key.

00:59:24The shadow projected by the boat in the sea

00:59:26can attract fish

00:59:28and a thoughtful object can serve as bait.

00:59:30Even if a fish does not die,

00:59:32activities like this

00:59:34are a good way not to lose your head in the sea.

00:59:36A short meditation

00:59:38can save you from a panic attack.

00:59:40You have to focus on your breathing

00:59:42and try to slow it down.

00:59:44Your brain will quickly calm down

00:59:46and divert its attention from panic.

00:59:48Oxygen masks in airplanes

00:59:50work on the same principle.

00:59:52When you control your breathing,

00:59:54your attention is redirected

00:59:56away from what is happening.

00:59:58You can make a torch

01:00:00from a log.

01:00:02Place a small log vertically,

01:00:04make a deep notch in the shape of a star on top.

01:00:06Put some dry grass,

01:00:08leaves and twigs in it.

01:00:10Once you have finished,

01:00:12put the fire on the log

01:00:14and it will burn for three hours maximum.

01:00:16It should work no matter the size

01:00:18and the type of wood.

01:00:20If you meet a grizzly in anger,

01:00:22never try to run away

01:00:24because the bear can easily catch up with you.

01:00:26Grizzlies only attack when they see a threat

01:00:28so they will often leave you alone

01:00:30if you show them that you won't cause them any trouble.

01:00:32But this only works with grizzlies.

01:00:34If a confrontation is inevitable,

01:00:36move back slowly

01:00:38and use an anti-bear spray.

01:00:40If you don't have one,

01:00:42the pepper spray works the same way

01:00:44and should disorientate the bear and make it run away.

01:00:46Or not.

01:00:48Don't eat bees or mushrooms in the forest

01:00:50if you don't know exactly what they are.

01:00:52They could be toxic.

01:00:54If you don't have a choice,

01:00:56eat the inner bark of the herbs,

01:00:58boulders and bread to fill your stomach.

01:01:00Use a knife to remove the rough outer bark

01:01:02and get to the softer white substance.

01:01:04You can boil it

01:01:06to make it even softer

01:01:08or cook it on an open fire

01:01:10to make it crunchy.

01:01:12And if you are really hungry,

01:01:14you can eat ants.

01:01:16They may not be very appetizing

01:01:18but they are quite nutritious.

01:01:20If you don't have a watch,

01:01:22put your finger in front of the sun.

01:01:24Lift your hand so that the inside of your palm

01:01:26is facing you.

01:01:28Your fingers should be between the sun

01:01:30and the horizon line.

01:01:32Look how many fingers can hold in this space.

01:01:34The thickness of a finger corresponds to about 15 minutes.

01:01:36You can therefore calculate the time left

01:01:38before sunset.

01:01:40If you are lost and you have to make a fire

01:01:42to attract attention,

01:01:44throw a lot of bread or cedar branches,

01:01:46pineapples and any useless rubbery object.

01:01:48Your fire will emit more black smoke

01:01:50and it will be visible from afar.

01:01:52If you don't have water in the desert

01:01:54but you have food,

01:01:56try to avoid eating for as long as possible.

01:01:58The more you eat, the hungrier you are.

01:02:00The body needs liquid to digest food.

01:02:02It will therefore use the little you have.

01:02:04A person can live much longer

01:02:06without food than without water

01:02:08so don't be afraid to be hungry.

01:02:10You found a huge puddle of dirty water

01:02:12in the forest.

01:02:14If you desperately need to drink,

01:02:16you can fill your bottle and filter it

01:02:18with clean drinking water.

01:02:20To clean it, make a rope made of gas or clothes.

01:02:22Place one end in the dirty water bottle

01:02:24and the other in an empty bottle.

01:02:26Very quickly, clean water will flow

01:02:28into the empty bottle through the rope

01:02:30while impurities will remain in the first.

01:02:32Before going hiking,

01:02:34replace your ordinary laces

01:02:36with paracord laces.

01:02:38If you don't have enough rope,

01:02:40these laces can give you a few extra centimeters

01:02:42if necessary.

01:02:44If you are lost in the forest

01:02:46then pick up leaves and dry grass

01:02:48on the ground and mix them with two layers of clothes.

01:02:50This will help you stay warm longer.

01:02:52If you are lost in a desert,

01:02:54try to move as little as possible

01:02:56during the day.

01:02:58Find a shadow or create one

01:03:00from improvised materials

01:03:02and shelter until the evening.

01:03:04At night, you will spend much less energy

01:03:06and you will use less liquid while walking.

01:03:08This will help you avoid the risk of sunstroke.

01:03:10If you fall through the ice,

01:03:12don't try to get out of it

01:03:14or you will fall into the pool.

01:03:16If you put your hands on the ice

01:03:18and you try to swing with your arms,

01:03:20they could crack and make you fall into the water.

01:03:22You have to stretch your arms parallel

01:03:24to the surface of the ice

01:03:26and extend your legs back

01:03:28so that they float in the water.

01:03:30In this horizontal position,

01:03:32start shaking your legs as if you were swimming.

01:03:34Move your arms carefully

01:03:36without putting too much weight on the ice

01:03:38and you should be able to get out of it.

01:03:40If you have to make a fire

01:03:42and create a small underground tunnel

01:03:44between the two,

01:03:46make a fire in one of the pits.

01:03:48The wind will not be able to extinguish it

01:03:50and the fire will be fed into the air

01:03:52by the second pit.

01:03:54This method is as useful

01:03:56if you have to make a fire

01:03:58without attracting attention.

01:04:00In the dark,

01:04:02this type of fire will be less visible.

01:04:04Do not throw or burst the bubble wrap.

01:04:06Take it on an expedition with you.

01:04:08It will protect you from the cold

01:04:10and protect you from the heat.

01:04:12The bubble wrap prevents heat from escaping.

01:04:14The plastic in which the bubbles are made

01:04:16is impermeable

01:04:18so the bubble wrap can also prevent you

01:04:20from being wet.

01:04:22By swimming in the sea,

01:04:24not far from the shore,

01:04:26you can easily be carried away

01:04:28by the currents.

01:04:30If this happens,

01:04:32the most important thing to remember

01:04:34is not to swim against the current.

01:04:36This will only waste your energy

01:04:38and your life.

01:04:40Sooner or later,

01:04:42you will have to get out of the current

01:04:44and you will be able to swim safely

01:04:46to the beach.

01:04:48If you are stuck in a free-fall elevator,

01:04:50do not try to jump at the moment of impact.

01:04:52Do not sit or stand either.

01:04:54You have to lie on the ground facing the ceiling.

01:04:56Spread your legs as much as possible,

01:04:58open your face with one hand

01:05:00and put the other hand behind your head

01:05:02to protect you.

01:05:04In this position,

01:05:06a rescue helicopter flies over the forest

01:05:08but you do not have a lighting rocket

01:05:10and you do not have time to make a fire.

01:05:12Use a small mirror or a phone screen

01:05:14to reflect the sunlight.

01:05:16Direct the beam of light towards the helicopter.

01:05:18Rescuers should notice the flash

01:05:20and fly towards you to save you.

01:05:22If you fall from a great height,

01:05:24try to reproduce the position of a paratrooper.

01:05:26Your head and chest

01:05:28must be facing down.

01:05:30Spread your arms and legs

01:05:32and bend them at an angle of 90 degrees.

01:05:34If possible,

01:05:36find a place to land.

01:05:38Bushes or haystacks

01:05:40can dampen the fall.

01:05:42On the other hand,

01:05:44the surface of the water is safe

01:05:46only if the fall does not exceed 45 meters high.

01:05:48Before landing,

01:05:50try to place your body vertically.

01:05:52Remember that it is always preferable

01:05:54to fall forward than backward.

01:05:56Protect your head and neck

01:05:58by closing your arms together around you.

01:06:00In fact, none of this

01:06:02will save you,

01:06:04but it will give you something to do

01:06:06before crashing like a huge stone

01:06:08that will dig a crater on the ground.

01:06:10But hey,

01:06:12if you fall from a cliff,

01:06:14do your best to decompose your fall

01:06:16into several parts.

01:06:18And the shorter they are,

01:06:20the better.

01:06:22Each of these steps

01:06:24will absorb part of the impact of the fall.

01:06:26In this way,

01:06:28you will have a much better chance of surviving.

01:06:30If you see a piece of wood

01:06:32or a board,

01:06:34grab it too.

01:06:36This could help dampen your fall

01:06:38when you touch the ground.

01:06:40More importantly,

01:06:42do not keep your body too rigid.

01:06:44This could damage your internal organs.

01:06:46Protect your head

01:06:48and try to land on your feet

01:06:50with your knees slightly bent.

01:06:52Well, we're not going to lie,

01:06:54once you've touched the ground,

01:06:56everything that concerns you will be slightly bent,

01:06:58so you have to try.

01:07:00If a building you were in

01:07:02has collapsed and you find yourself

01:07:04under a pile of debris and gravel,

01:07:06try not to panic.

01:07:08Yes, not easy, I know.

01:07:10Your main task is then

01:07:12to protect your respiratory organs

01:07:14and make your air tank last as long as possible.

01:07:16If there is enough space,

01:07:18take off your shirt

01:07:20and tie a knot at the bottom.

01:07:22Then put it back on your head

01:07:24through the neck hole

01:07:26of your head.

01:07:28You will then have a hood

01:07:30that will protect your face from dust,

01:07:32sand and debris.

01:07:34It will also provide you with a little oxygen

01:07:36while you try to get back to the surface.

01:07:38If you are stuck in a falling elevator,

01:07:40lie on your back

01:07:42and try to occupy as much space as possible.

01:07:44The fat and muscles of your body

01:07:46are compressible.

01:07:48They will absorb part of the force of the impact.

01:07:50If you can't lie down,

01:07:52sit on the floor.

01:07:54Your buttocks will act

01:07:56like an airbag in a car.

01:07:58But whatever position you choose,

01:08:00cover and protect your head.

01:08:02The best way to do this

01:08:04is to put one arm in front of your face

01:08:06and the other on your neck.

01:08:08If you find yourself stuck in nature,

01:08:10start by finding water.

01:08:12Check the low altitude areas.

01:08:14If there are mountains,

01:08:16look for water at the foot of the cliffs.

01:08:18If you manage to find rainwater,

01:08:20don't leave it in a container for too long.

01:08:22Observe the ants climbing the trees.

01:08:24It is likely that they are heading

01:08:26towards a source of moisture

01:08:28inside the tree.

01:08:30A bottle of water can light a fire

01:08:32if you leave it long enough

01:08:34under direct sunlight.

01:08:36The bottle will act like a lens

01:08:38gathering all the heat in one place.

01:08:40Use fire and smoke

01:08:42to signal your presence and get help.

01:08:44Cover the flames with a large branch

01:08:46or with a saucepan

01:08:48for 3 to 4 seconds.

01:08:50This will allow you to gather enough smoke.

01:08:52Then let this cloud of smoke escape.

01:08:54If you have fallen through the ice,

01:08:56try to come back to the edge.

01:08:58Don't try to get out of the water

01:09:00by pressing on the edge.

01:09:02It will continue to detach

01:09:04and you will exhaust yourself in no time.

01:09:06Put your feet and legs down

01:09:08until your body is completely

01:09:10horizontal in the water.

01:09:12After that, get out of the water

01:09:14and climb on the ice.

01:09:16Once you have arrived,

01:09:18your weight should be distributed

01:09:20on the largest surface possible.

01:09:22This way, the ice will tend

01:09:24to break less.

01:09:26So start rolling towards the edge

01:09:28like seals do.

01:09:30If you have a cramp,

01:09:32try to turn on your back

01:09:34and float.

01:09:36Massage the plant of your foot

01:09:38or the part of your leg

01:09:40that is stretched by the cramp.

01:09:42If you have a cramp at the back of the leg,

01:09:44bend it at the level of the knee

01:09:46by pulling your toes up.

01:09:48If you are caught in a fire

01:09:50inside the house,

01:09:52stay crouched down

01:09:54and crawl to the nearest exit.

01:09:56Smoke usually goes up to the ceiling.

01:09:58This is why staying on the ground

01:10:00can allow you to breathe

01:10:02a slightly cooler air.

01:10:04If you have a piece of fabric

01:10:06or a handkerchief,

01:10:08put it against your mouth.

01:10:10It will act like a filter

01:10:12against the smoke.

01:10:14Always stay at the base of the flames.

01:10:16It is much more efficient.

01:10:18And don't forget that if you break a window,

01:10:20you will let in more oxygen,

01:10:22which will feed the fire even more.

01:10:24And here is what you have to do

01:10:26to stay safe during a natural disaster.

01:10:28If you see that the area is flooded

01:10:30while you are outside,

01:10:32stay away from streams,

01:10:34rainwater collectors or rivers.

01:10:36Try to reach a higher ground.

01:10:38If you are stuck at home,

01:10:40climb on the roof if you think

01:10:42it is too dangerous.

01:10:44If a tornado is coming towards you

01:10:46and you don't have time to escape,

01:10:48find a ditch or a recess.

01:10:50Lie down and cover your head

01:10:52with your arms or clothes.

01:10:54If a tornado occurs while you are inside

01:10:56and there is no basement in your house,

01:10:58hide in a bathtub.

01:11:00Use a pillow to protect your head

01:11:02from all kinds of debris likely to fall.

01:11:04Remember that plumbing in the bathroom

01:11:06reinforces the structure of the place.

01:11:08But if your bathroom has windows

01:11:10and a wall on the outside,

01:11:12choose a safer place,

01:11:14for example a closet.

01:11:16The more walls that separate you from the tornado,

01:11:18the better.

01:11:20If you are outside during a storm

01:11:22and you suddenly feel your hair rustle,

01:11:24it is a sign that the lightning

01:11:26is about to strike.

01:11:28Your skin can start to itch

01:11:30and you may hear clicks or rumbles.

01:11:32Crouch immediately

01:11:34and place your head between your knees.

01:11:36But even if you have to sit as low as possible,

01:11:38don't touch the ground.

01:11:40The only thing that should touch the ground

01:11:42is the sole of your feet.

01:11:44Keep your heels together.

01:11:46This way, instead of going all the way around your body,

01:11:48electricity will tend to enter one foot

01:11:50and exit the other.

01:11:52You can also cover your ears with your hands

01:11:54to avoid hearing loss.

01:11:56If you are lost in the desert,

01:11:58move around in the early hours of the morning.

01:12:00This way, you will avoid the biggest heat.

01:12:02If you see a hill or another high ground,

01:12:04climb on it and look around.

01:12:06You may be able to see greenery,

01:12:08buildings or a road.

01:12:10At night, such an opportunity

01:12:12is obviously not offered.

01:12:14Many animals in the desert also hunt

01:12:16after sunset.

01:12:18This is how you should behave

01:12:20with wild animals.

01:12:22If a bull charges at you,

01:12:24stay still until it approaches,

01:12:26then throw a garment in the opposite direction.

01:12:28Bulls react to movement

01:12:30and by throwing a hat or shirt away from you,

01:12:32you will distract the animal.

01:12:34It will follow the object in motion

01:12:36and forget you.

01:12:38If a shark approaches you,

01:12:40do not swim in panic to get away from it.

01:12:42You will look like a prey

01:12:44that the animal will want to devour.

01:12:46Wait for the shark to get closer

01:12:48and start hitting it with your fists.

01:12:50Aim for its eyes, nose and gills.

01:12:52These are the only vulnerable areas

01:12:54of the animal's body.

01:12:56If you meet a pack of hostile dogs,

01:12:58divert their attention

01:13:00and move away quietly.

01:13:02If one of the dogs throws itself at you,

01:13:04place an object between you

01:13:06and the animal's jaws.

01:13:08Now, let's say you accidentally

01:13:10disturbed a bee swarm.

01:13:12Well, they will come to you.

01:13:14Run in a straight line as fast as possible

01:13:16until they stop chasing you.

01:13:18An even better solution

01:13:20is to find a shelter,

01:13:22your car, a house or even public toilets

01:13:24and hide inside.

01:13:26Now, if you accidentally

01:13:28meet a bear,

01:13:30turn around.

01:13:32No, wait, in fact,

01:13:34everything will depend on its species.

01:13:36If it is a big brown bear,

01:13:38lie down on the ground

01:13:40and pretend you are dead.

01:13:42It should not be difficult.

01:13:44But if it is a smaller black bear

01:13:46that rarely attacks people,

01:13:48scream and pretend to be bigger.

01:13:50It can help you.

01:13:52You can also try to make the bear flee

01:13:54by pretending to throw yourself at it.

01:13:56If you meet a snake,

01:13:58scream and pretend to be bigger.

01:14:00But if you can not avoid the reptile,

01:14:02raise the voice,

01:14:04hit two sticks against each other

01:14:06or hit the foot can make it retreat.

01:14:08Even if snakes have no visible ears,

01:14:10they are sensitive to vibrations.

01:14:12And if all these things happen to you on the same day,

01:14:14well, call the people

01:14:16of the Guinness Book of Records.

01:14:18I think you deserve to be in it.

01:14:20A purple sunset.

01:14:22You must have seen at least one

01:14:24during your life.

01:14:26It is related to the way in which light propagates.

01:14:28The light produced by the sun

01:14:30is white.

01:14:32When it crosses a prism,

01:14:34we observe luminous waves of different colors,

01:14:36from red to orange,

01:14:38passing through blue, green and indigo.

01:14:40Light normally moves

01:14:42in a straight line

01:14:44if there are no obstacles.

01:14:46The shortest luminous waves,

01:14:48especially blue and purple,

01:14:50are more easily dispersed

01:14:52when they meet these obstacles,

01:14:54such as the ground in the atmosphere.

01:14:56As the sun is low on the horizon

01:14:58at sunset and sunrise,

01:15:00its light must pass through more molecules

01:15:02that disperse the purple and blue light.

01:15:04The colors that your eyes perceive

01:15:06are yellow,

01:15:08orange and red.

01:15:10But in good conditions,

01:15:12you can see a beautiful purple sky.

01:15:14Sometimes a purple sky

01:15:16appears for much more harmful reasons.

01:15:18It can be caused by hurricanes,

01:15:20forest fires or dust storms.

01:15:22The concentration of steam in the air

01:15:24increases and the light

01:15:26disperses more than usual.

01:15:28Dust, the sunset

01:15:30and low clouds also contribute

01:15:32to this natural spectacle.

01:15:34The sky becomes orange and red

01:15:36at dusk if there is still enough light.

01:15:38Then it emits pink colors

01:15:40that mix with the dark blue of the sky.

01:15:42Do you remember what happens

01:15:44when you mix pink and blue?

01:15:46You get purple.

01:15:48All hurricanes do not make the sky turn purple

01:15:50and trying to predict

01:15:52if this is going to happen

01:15:54is like trying to predict a rainbow.

01:15:56However, people have reported

01:15:58that several major hurricanes

01:16:00were so close to the sky.

01:16:02A green sky can seem just as spectacular

01:16:04as purple,

01:16:06but it is also synonymous with danger.

01:16:08It usually indicates that a storm,

01:16:10a hail storm or a tornado

01:16:12is nearby.

01:16:14This unique color results from the mixture

01:16:16of the yellow rays of the sun

01:16:18and the blue of the storm clouds.

01:16:20You enjoy a beautiful day by the sea

01:16:22with a cool breeze in your hair

01:16:24when suddenly you notice

01:16:26that the water is starting to withdraw

01:16:28from the beach at full speed.

01:16:30This is the forerunner sign

01:16:32that you have to flee as quickly

01:16:34and as far as possible from the beach

01:16:36because this probably means

01:16:38that a tsunami is approaching.

01:16:40A quick reaction maximizes

01:16:42your chances of survival.

01:16:44If you notice that the sea level rises

01:16:46to the extreme,

01:16:48it may be another sign

01:16:50that a tsunami is approaching.

01:16:52This happens in 40% of cases

01:16:54and this rain is only the first wave

01:16:56of this tidal wave.

01:16:58The next wave, much more

01:17:00significant and dangerous,

01:17:02usually follows in 10 minutes.

01:17:04Another characteristic of tsunamis

01:17:06is that they are accompanied

01:17:08by a powerful rumble.

01:17:10People have compared it to thunder,

01:17:12the noise of a locomotive,

01:17:14or the rumbling of the water channel

01:17:16on the beach.

01:17:18It is in your interest

01:17:20not to approach the water.

01:17:22There may be a tearing current

01:17:24under the surface

01:17:26that can be extremely dangerous.

01:17:28Sometimes the waves hit the shore

01:17:30in an unusual way,

01:17:32forming tearing currents.

01:17:34You can then observe a strange rupture

01:17:36in the waves or an area

01:17:38whose color is different

01:17:40from that of the rest of the water.

01:17:42If you find yourself caught

01:17:44in such a phenomenon,

01:17:46try to continue to float

01:17:48but do not try to go against the current.

01:17:50You would only waste precious energy.

01:17:52Call for help

01:17:54and try to float along the shore.

01:17:56Once you have come out of the current,

01:17:58swim diagonally towards the beach.

01:18:00The next time you see

01:18:02conical-shaped clouds in the sky,

01:18:04remember that this is the right time

01:18:06to start looking for shelter.

01:18:08If they look like this,

01:18:10the storm is on its way.

01:18:12But if a cloud of this shape

01:18:14begins to spin on itself,

01:18:16it means that it is about

01:18:18to turn into a tornado.

01:18:20If bees are nearby,

01:18:22they can alert you

01:18:24to such a cataclysm.

01:18:26These working little animals

01:18:28become more active than usual

01:18:30when they feel a storm is approaching.

01:18:32They accelerate to collect more nectar

01:18:34before the storm arrives.

01:18:36And once they have finished,

01:18:38the storm will stop 15 minutes

01:18:40before a heavy rain,

01:18:42even if there are no obvious signs

01:18:44of its arrival.

01:18:46Their secret?

01:18:48Super-sensitive hairs on their backs

01:18:50that can detect the electrostatic

01:18:52accumulations of storm clouds.

01:18:54For centuries and centuries,

01:18:56people have noticed that animals

01:18:58behaved strangely a few days

01:19:00before a big earthquake.

01:19:02Dogs keep barking,

01:19:04cows stop producing milk,

01:19:06and bees desert their habitat.

01:19:08It seems that animals can feel

01:19:10the first shock waves

01:19:12weaker than humans do not even notice.

01:19:14Scientists have tried to find

01:19:16a logical explanation for this phenomenon

01:19:18and have conducted countless experiments.

01:19:20So far, they have not yet

01:19:22managed to fully explain this mystery.

01:19:24Can you smell the ozone in the air?

01:19:26When a storm is preparing,

01:19:28it is the most distinct smell

01:19:30you can perceive.

01:19:32It is the electric charge of the lightning

01:19:34in the air at an altitude.

01:19:36The other smell of the rain,

01:19:38more pleasant,

01:19:40is the petrichor.

01:19:42Rainwater exalts the molecules

01:19:44of plants, trees,

01:19:46concrete and asphalt.

01:19:48Their aroma spreads everywhere

01:19:50and you can even smell it

01:19:52in your mouth.

01:19:54All the positive ions in the air

01:19:56and released by lightning

01:19:58mix with the ozone

01:20:00and your saliva.

01:20:02You can also feel strange vibrations

01:20:04coming from metal objects

01:20:06located nearby.

01:20:08Your hands can start to sweat

01:20:10and finally, you can feel your hair

01:20:12standing on your head.

01:20:14It is a very clear signal

01:20:16that it is time to react

01:20:18and that is to flee to save your life.

01:20:20Positive charges then cross your body

01:20:22trying to reach the negatively charged part

01:20:24of the storm.

01:20:26And believe me, you really do not want

01:20:28these charges to meet.

01:20:30If there is no shelter that you can reach quickly,

01:20:32try to make yourself smaller

01:20:34than the objects around you.

01:20:36Lower your umbrella

01:20:38and stay away from the iron wires,

01:20:40pipes, rails

01:20:42and any other metal object.

01:20:44Do not lie on the ground, however.

01:20:46It is probably wet,

01:20:48which means it is an excellent

01:20:50electricity conductor.

01:20:52If you suddenly notice crevasses

01:20:54in the asphalt next to your house,

01:20:56it could be a forerunner

01:20:58Inspect your house from the inside.

01:21:00Does the door start to get stuck?

01:21:02Or maybe there is a space

01:21:04between the walls and the ceiling.

01:21:06Unequal cupboards and drawers,

01:21:08inclined floors,

01:21:10stairs that start to lean,

01:21:12infiltrations after each rain

01:21:14and moldings that move

01:21:16are all signs that a valley

01:21:18is about to open.

01:21:20To know if it is really a cliff

01:21:22and what is its degree of danger,

01:21:24you have to call a geotechnical engineering office.

01:21:26If you come across a pre-existing valley,

01:21:28you have to stay away from the area.

01:21:30Install a fence or a rope

01:21:32to make it less dangerous

01:21:34for the passers-by.

01:21:36Finally, you will need the help

01:21:38of a professional to fill it.

01:21:40Some volcanoes scream

01:21:42when they are about to erupt.

01:21:44The small tremors that often occur

01:21:46beforehand generate a rumbling.

01:21:48It is generally inaudible

01:21:50to the human ear,

01:21:52but it sometimes reaches a frequency

01:21:54like this strange rumbling coming from the ground.

01:21:56This noise is known as

01:21:58harmonic tremor.

01:22:00In the case of some volcanoes,

01:22:02it is the sound of magma bubbles vibrating

01:22:04when they cross the cracks

01:22:06of the earth's crust,

01:22:08but this is not always the case.

01:22:10If scientists were able to understand

01:22:12the exact cause of these volcanic screams,

01:22:14they could create a limited system

01:22:16of pre-alert systems for eruptions.

01:22:18If you are in nature,

01:22:20pay attention to the water of streams,

01:22:22streams and rivers.

01:22:24If their level drops rapidly

01:22:26while it is raining,

01:22:28it may be a sign of an imminent landslide.

01:22:30And if you hear a slight rumbling

01:22:32or unusual noises like

01:22:34rocks colliding,

01:22:36it may mean that debris is already

01:22:38on its way to you.

01:22:40This is obviously a sign

01:22:42that you need to take shelter immediately.

01:22:44Oh, you find yourself in cold water

01:22:46all the way to your neck.

01:22:48You are surrounded by ice.

01:22:50When you swim in icy water,

01:22:52your body can experience a certain shock.

01:22:54Your reflexes may push you to stop,

01:22:56but don't do it.

01:22:58Just try to keep your head out of the water.

01:23:00Get rid of any heavy objects

01:23:02like boots, jackets or water bags.

01:23:04When you reach the ice,

01:23:06don't just try to get out of it.

01:23:08It's not exactly like a pool.

01:23:10Try to stand horizontally

01:23:12and use your legs

01:23:14to swim on the ice.

01:23:16Use your hands to get out of the water.

01:23:18Once on the surface,

01:23:20roll sideways and move away from the edge.

01:23:22Then crawl, then walk.

01:23:24If you are adventuring in nature,

01:23:26it is preferable to prepare

01:23:28a few things in advance.

01:23:30Make your own fire at home.

01:23:32Heat water in a saucepan,

01:23:34put a pyrex container in it

01:23:36and melt paraffin in it.

01:23:38Then take an egg box

01:23:40and put drying plushies in each section.

01:23:42Fill them with paraffin

01:23:44then wait for everything to be solid

01:23:46and cut each small section.

01:23:48You only need one of these small pieces

01:23:50to start a fire much more easily.

01:23:52Paraffin can be very useful

01:23:54to survive in the jungle.

01:23:56You can use it as fishing line

01:23:58with a canning net

01:24:00like a marten.

01:24:02It can also be used as a rope

01:24:04if you tie it between two trees.

01:24:06It looks a bit fragile,

01:24:08but a single piece of wire

01:24:10can support up to 2.2 kilos.

01:24:12It is also very flammable,

01:24:14so if you have trouble starting a fire,

01:24:16you can use a few meters of wire

01:24:18to start it.

01:24:20You can make a very solid rope

01:24:22with a simple plastic bottle

01:24:24if you have a good pair of scissors.

01:24:26Cut the tip of the bottle

01:24:28so that it looks like a tall and narrow cup.

01:24:30Then cut it like some people

01:24:32peel an orange by turning it

01:24:34in a circle and making a spiral.

01:24:36Try to keep the same width

01:24:38throughout the whole process.

01:24:40The result will be much longer

01:24:42than what you expect.

01:24:44You can use it to tie sticks together

01:24:46to make a hut

01:24:48or wrap it around your backpack

01:24:50in case it tears or something.

01:24:52Sugar can be harmful

01:24:54for the teeth,

01:24:56but it has a pretty cool superpower.

01:24:58You just have to pour it on a piece of fabric

01:25:00and use it as a bandage.

01:25:02Oh, it's delicious!

01:25:04Mosquitoes can be very painful

01:25:06and there are a lot of them everywhere.

01:25:08You can make your own insect repellent

01:25:10with these exasperating little animals.

01:25:12All you need is an orange, a lemon

01:25:14or any other citrus.

01:25:16They are full of essential oils

01:25:18that mosquitoes can't stand.

01:25:20Peel an orange and rub its peel

01:25:22directly on your skin,

01:25:24making sure to press it lightly

01:25:26beforehand to bring out

01:25:28the precious essential oils.

01:25:30Another good way to keep mosquitoes away

01:25:32is to add a little orange peel

01:25:34to your campfire.

01:25:36This releases the essential oils into the air.

01:25:38You're starting to get hungry,

01:25:40but you don't have anything to light a fire.

01:25:42Empty your pockets.

01:25:44There may be something in there

01:25:46that you can use as a fire starter.

01:25:48If you have a battery

01:25:50and a metal chewing gum packaging,

01:25:52you have what you need.

01:25:54Cut a thin strip of the packaging

01:25:56long enough to be able to join

01:25:58the two sides of the battery.

01:26:00The middle of the strip must be

01:26:02thinner than the ends.

01:26:04Take dry grass, twigs

01:26:06and fire.

01:26:08The aluminum foil should catch fire

01:26:10immediately, so get ready.

01:26:12A human can survive

01:26:14incredibly long without food,

01:26:16but not without water.

01:26:18It all depends on where you are,

01:26:20but often it's not safe to drink.

01:26:22You can make a water filter

01:26:24by yourself.

01:26:26It all starts with a fire.

01:26:28It may be that boiling water

01:26:30is not enough,

01:26:32so as soon as the ashes of your fire

01:26:34don't use any ash

01:26:36randomly found in the forest.

01:26:38There may be melted plastic on top

01:26:40or something like that.

01:26:42Then you need a plastic bottle.

01:26:44Cut the bottom and drill a small hole

01:26:46in the cap.

01:26:48Turn it over, put about 5 cm

01:26:50of charcoal in it and pour the water

01:26:52in the bottle, very gently.

01:26:54The drops are ready to be drunk.

01:26:56If you find pieces of ash

01:26:58in the water, wrap a piece of

01:27:00clean fabric around the cap

01:27:02for additional filtration.

01:27:04A carbonized rag can be useful

01:27:06if you are lost in the jungle.

01:27:08To make it, you will need

01:27:10a metal container with a lid.

01:27:12Put a piece of fabric inside

01:27:14and place the container

01:27:16in the fire for a few minutes.

01:27:18The fabric should end up

01:27:20becoming a little black on the edges,

01:27:22but stay intact.

01:27:24A carbonized fabric catches fire very quickly,

01:27:26even with an old school silex.

01:27:28If you ever go hiking

01:27:30in the garden of an anaconda,

01:27:32listen carefully.

01:27:34Stay away from shallow rivers

01:27:36because these giant snakes like to hang around.

01:27:38If an anaconda decides to squeeze you a little,

01:27:40don't expire.

01:27:42Every time you do it,

01:27:44the snake will squeeze you a little harder.

01:27:46Anacondas, however, have a weak spot.

01:27:48They don't like to get their tail bitten.

01:27:50It's not particularly delicious,

01:27:52but it will help you get out of there.

01:27:54Avalanches are quite powerful,

01:27:56so don't forget these tips

01:27:58the next time you go hiking

01:28:00if things get a little dangerous.

01:28:02First of all, cover your mouth.

01:28:04Use a scarf or another piece of fabric

01:28:06and don't let the snow get in.

01:28:08Keep your right arm

01:28:10above your head

01:28:12and don't forget to leave a small window

01:28:14in front of your face.

01:28:16This will allow you to breathe

01:28:18for about half an hour.

01:28:20Get rid of everything heavy,

01:28:22even if it's expensive,

01:28:24but make sure you keep your backpack

01:28:26on the ground and hang on to a tree

01:28:28if you see one.

01:28:30To get back to the surface,

01:28:32move as if you were swimming straight.

01:28:34Snow is nothing but water.

01:28:36If you ever find yourself stuck

01:28:38in a car that's flowing,

01:28:40don't panic and don't try to open the door.

01:28:42The pressure from the outside water

01:28:44may be too strong.

01:28:46You will only waste precious energy

01:28:48and this door won't open.

01:28:50The best way to escape

01:28:52would be to go through the windows.

01:28:54You just have to lower them

01:28:56and run away while swimming.

01:28:58If you're not a good swimmer,

01:29:00you can try to create your own

01:29:02floating device like a plastic bag

01:29:04with air trapped inside.

01:29:06Make a knot in it

01:29:08and make sure it's tight.

01:29:10The plastic bottle

01:29:12would be a good option,

01:29:14but one won't be enough.

01:29:16You can also use a waterproof

01:29:18or waterproof pants

01:29:20or even a garbage can upside down.

01:29:22If you have a car problem at night,

01:29:24in the forest for example,

01:29:26you need light to see what you're doing.

01:29:28All you need is a bottle of water

01:29:30or a pitcher or even a garbage can

01:29:32filled with water.

01:29:34You just have to attach it to a projector

01:29:36and voila!

01:29:38The water will diffuse the light

01:29:40so that you can see better.

01:29:42Perfect for setting up a rescue tent

01:29:44or finding wood for a fire.

01:29:46Mason pots, these garbage pots,

01:29:48are very practical for keeping matches.

01:29:50It's really important to hide

01:29:52these matches in a dry and secure place.

01:29:54To make it even more practical,

01:29:56prepare a foldable lid.

01:29:58Cut the strips on the side

01:30:00of your matchbox

01:30:02and stick them on the lid of your glass pot.

01:30:04Before your next big adventure

01:30:06in the open air,

01:30:08make sure you've filled it with dark chocolate.

01:30:10Chocolate is probably the most delicious

01:30:12food for survival,

01:30:14but it's also one of the best.

01:30:16It's rich in calories

01:30:18and it's good for your health.

01:30:20You don't even need a fork,

01:30:22a plate or a fire to taste it.

01:30:24One last tip for today,

01:30:26my friends.

01:30:28Do you still have trouble lighting a fire?

01:30:30Look no further than this bag of chips

01:30:32that you've secretly hidden

01:30:34from your camping companions.

01:30:36Corn-based chips are everywhere nowadays

01:30:38and in addition to their delicious taste

01:30:40and the strange color they give your fingers,

01:30:42they have another trick up their sleeve.

01:30:44You can use them to light a fire.

01:30:46This kind of chips is flammable,

01:30:48so make a small pile

01:30:50and keep this funny piece of dry wood

01:30:52at hand.

01:30:54Your fire will go out in a few seconds.

01:31:02When you need help

01:31:04in a public space,

01:31:06don't go to a group of people.

01:31:08Go to one person.

01:31:10Because of what we call

01:31:12the witness effect,

01:31:14no one will know how to help you.

01:31:16This theory of social psychology

01:31:18states that people are less likely

01:31:20to help you

01:31:22when other people are present around them.

01:31:24They think that someone else

01:31:26in the group will necessarily go to help you

01:31:28and therefore pass their way.

01:31:30If you drive in the city or in an area

01:31:32with streets that cross each other

01:31:34and that you think you are being followed,

01:31:36turn four times to the right or left.

01:31:38You will end up in the same place as before

01:31:40and if the car behind you

01:31:42doesn't do the same thing,

01:31:44you are probably being followed.

01:31:46Don't go home and try to sleep.

01:31:48If you are outside when a storm

01:31:50approaches and your hair stands up

01:31:52on your head,

01:31:54immediately find a shelter.

01:31:56If your hair is up,

01:31:58it means that positive electric charges

01:32:00are passing through your body

01:32:02and are heading towards the negative charges

01:32:04of the storm,

01:32:06so you may be hit by lightning.

01:32:08If you can't hide,

01:32:10put your hands on your knees

01:32:12and your head between the two.

01:32:14By making yourself as small as possible,

01:32:16you will minimize contact with the ground

01:32:18and problems related to lightning.

01:32:20Always carry a small mirror with you

01:32:22when you travel in isolated regions.

01:32:24It will be very useful if you get lost.

01:32:26If you get stuck in the desert

01:32:28and a plane passes above you,

01:32:30direct the mirror towards it

01:32:32to reflect the light.

01:32:34If you don't have a mirror,

01:32:36make signs with your arms from top to bottom

01:32:38so that the person next to you

01:32:40has a chance to see you.

01:32:42If you are stuck somewhere in your car,

01:32:44don't give up.

01:32:46It is easier for rescuers

01:32:48to locate your vehicle.

01:32:50Unlike what we see on TV,

01:32:52when someone is about to drown,

01:32:54he will not make a sign

01:32:56nor will he be able to scream.

01:32:58He will have his head leaning backwards

01:33:00submerged in the water.

01:33:02He will try to keep his mouth

01:33:04to the surface by using his arms.

01:33:06He will try to get his head out of the water

01:33:08and he needs urgent help.

01:33:10If you don't know how to swim

01:33:12and you fall into deep waters,

01:33:14don't panic.

01:33:16Hold your breath

01:33:18and let yourself go back to the surface.

01:33:20Keep your back and legs straight.

01:33:22Try to kick

01:33:24to bring your body back to the surface.

01:33:26If you are trying to save someone

01:33:28who doesn't know how to swim,

01:33:30never approach him directly.

01:33:32He will probably make you sink

01:33:34Slide your arm on his chest

01:33:36and make sure his hands are not in front of you.

01:33:38If he catches you,

01:33:40he can push you down.

01:33:42Try to swim underneath him,

01:33:44go back a little further

01:33:46and try to help him again.

01:33:48If you meet a grizzly,

01:33:50it's not your day of luck.

01:33:52Don't run and don't make any visual contact.

01:33:54Speak slowly if he is still far from you.

01:33:56But if he charges you,

01:33:58stay still.

01:34:00You won't be able to distance him.

01:34:02Before leaving,

01:34:04you can do some research

01:34:06to see if there are grizzlies

01:34:08where you travel

01:34:10to bring a pepper bomb

01:34:12or a bear repulsive.

01:34:14If a bear is less than 7.60 meters away from you,

01:34:16use the spray.

01:34:18If he attacks you,

01:34:20put yourself in a ball

01:34:22and lie down on the ground.

01:34:24Stay calm, don't move

01:34:26and don't panic until he leaves.

01:34:28If a polar bear chases you

01:34:30don't run away.

01:34:32Polar bears have a short attention span

01:34:34and can stop to sniff your clothes.

01:34:36This will give you time to take shelter.

01:34:38If you have met both bears,

01:34:40remember to never go on vacation with you.

01:34:42Let's move on to something else.

01:34:44If someone suffocates

01:34:46but can cough, don't intervene.

01:34:48Coughing means that air can enter

01:34:50and exit and that there is a partial obstruction

01:34:52of his respiratory tract.

01:34:54By helping him,

01:34:56you could cause a return of air

01:34:58and an evacuation of danger

01:35:00or remove the obstruction

01:35:02and cause a complete blockage.

01:35:04Just let the person cough.

01:35:06Give your help only when she can't breathe

01:35:08or cough.

01:35:10When you are caught in a return stream

01:35:12in the sea,

01:35:14never swim against him.

01:35:16You will get tired and it won't end well.

01:35:18Swim fast and follow a parallel line

01:35:20to the beach, but stay calm

01:35:22and don't panic.

01:35:24But if you move away,

01:35:26you will be thrown into the sea.

01:35:28Thumbs are the weakest part of the hand,

01:35:30where there is the least strength

01:35:32and resistance.

01:35:34If someone grabs you by the wrist,

01:35:36don't twist your arm in his hand.

01:35:38Try to push him back

01:35:40by starting where his thumbs are.

01:35:42The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns

01:35:44if you go abroad.

01:35:46In the United States and in some other Western countries,

01:35:48you can tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

01:35:50that you are going abroad.

01:35:52In the event of a natural disaster

01:35:54they will know that you have to be evacuated.

01:35:56They will also inform you of what is happening

01:35:58in the country you are visiting

01:36:00to protect you from possible problems.

01:36:02If you find yourself in a crowd,

01:36:04that you feel bad and that you fall on the ground,

01:36:06don't crawl back into a ball

01:36:08to wait for the end.

01:36:10You can hurt yourself and get crushed.

01:36:12Try to catch someone's leg

01:36:14that passes over you to help you get up

01:36:16and continue.

01:36:18Sometimes, when going out in wild camping,

01:36:20we end up getting lost.

01:36:22If you find yourself in this situation

01:36:24and you want to be able to find your way back,

01:36:26take some charcoal or wooden sticks with you.

01:36:28Use them to draw marks on trees,

01:36:30rocks or logs.

01:36:32These traces will stay there for weeks

01:36:34and it will be easier for the rescue team

01:36:36to find you.

01:36:38You must always have a needle

01:36:40in your first aid kit.

01:36:42If you get lost,

01:36:44you can make a compass with it.

01:36:46You must first magnetize the needle

01:36:48by rubbing the cat of the needle

01:36:50with a piece of fur or silk

01:36:52a hundred times.

01:36:54Then fill a container with water,

01:36:56place a sheet on the surface of the water

01:36:58and put your needle on it.

01:37:00It should start pointing from north to south.

01:37:02When you call the emergency services,

01:37:04first tell them your exact location

01:37:06and then your problem.

01:37:08Even if the call is cut off,

01:37:10they will know where to send the police

01:37:12or an ambulance.

01:37:14If you smell a fish in your house,

01:37:16immediately call an electrician.

01:37:18If a snake bites you,

01:37:20there are several ways to know

01:37:22if it was venomous.

01:37:24You can ask it,

01:37:26but it probably won't answer you.

01:37:28Venomous snakes usually have

01:37:30several colors and pupils

01:37:32like felines.

01:37:34Look at the bite area.

01:37:36If there are two deep open wounds,

01:37:38the snake is likely to bite you.

01:37:40If there are two deep open wounds,

01:37:42the snake is likely to bite you.

01:37:44If there are two deep open wounds,

01:37:46the snake is likely to bite you.

01:37:48If there are two deep open wounds,

01:37:50the snake is likely to bite you.

01:37:52If the bite mark has tiny pointed teeth

01:37:54in the shape of a U,

01:37:56it was probably not venomous.

01:37:58In any case, call the emergency services

01:38:00and take a picture of the snake if you can.

01:38:02It is even more dangerous to use your mouth

01:38:04to extract the venom by sucking.

01:38:06You are more likely to be poisoned

01:38:08than to eliminate the toxin from your body.

01:38:10If you travel and you are exposed

01:38:12to ice temperatures,

01:38:14you are more likely to get frostbite.

01:38:16At first, a part of your body

01:38:18will become hard and pale.

01:38:20Then you will feel pain,

01:38:22itching and fattening.

01:38:24To avoid frostbite,

01:38:26apply vaseline to your nose,

01:38:28ears and the tip of your fingers

01:38:30and toes.

01:38:32You thought of bringing some, didn't you?

01:38:34Once this is settled,

01:38:36you have to remember something.

01:38:38If you shiver when you are cold,

01:38:40it means you are safe.

01:38:42But if you ever stop shivering

01:38:44and you feel tired

01:38:46and you want to sleep,

01:38:48immediately find a warm place.

01:38:50You risk hypothermia.

01:38:52You will need a hot compress on your chest,

01:38:54neck or the bottom of your stomach.

01:38:56Never apply a hot compress

01:38:58on your hands or legs.

01:39:00The sudden change in temperature

01:39:02could force the cold blood to return

01:39:04to the heart, lungs or brain,

01:39:06which would lower your body temperature.

01:39:08If you are lost

01:39:10and you have to drink water

01:39:12from a stagnant source,

01:39:14always boil it first to purify it.

01:39:16Untreated water contains bacteria

01:39:18or oils and chemicals

01:39:20that can be harmful to you.

01:39:22The exact temperature and time

01:39:24to boil the water depends on the altitude.

01:39:26To be sure,

01:39:28boil the water for at least 3 minutes.

01:39:30When the cooking oil

01:39:32starts to boil,

01:39:34it smokes and catches fire.

01:39:36If this happens, turn off the heat

01:39:38and cover the pan with a metal lid.

01:39:40The fire will not survive

01:39:42without a source of oxygen.

01:39:44Use baking soda

01:39:46to extinguish the small fires.

01:39:48Be careful, you will need

01:39:50a ton to get there.

01:39:52Know this and use this trick

01:39:54only when the fire is small.

01:39:56Never use water

01:39:58because it would cause oil splashes

01:40:00and spread the fire.

01:40:02It's good, you understood everything and noted?

01:40:04Great!

01:40:08Arid deserts that extend

01:40:10from your point of view seem

01:40:12lifeless on board.

01:40:14But among these sands,

01:40:16it is also possible to meet

01:40:18dangerous and sometimes frightening creatures.

01:40:20Some of them can only present

01:40:22a slight risk to our health.

01:40:24But others will remain

01:40:26forever engraved in your memory.

01:40:28Let's get to know them,

01:40:30starting with the most moderately dangerous

01:40:32and ending with the real nightmares.

01:40:34You walk in the desert

01:40:36with your arms wide open.

01:40:38You deduce that it is probably a mirage.

01:40:40But you still approach.

01:40:42You had just seen

01:40:44it is not a plush, but a giant cactus.

01:40:46And there is something

01:40:48strange about it.

01:40:50Thanks to its strange pilosity,

01:40:52its branches seem to look like

01:40:54the arms of a teddy bear.

01:40:56However, it is not fur,

01:40:58but thousands of fine needles.

01:41:00And that's why you should not

01:41:02approach it.

01:41:04Cylindropuntia bigelowii

01:41:06or Cholaurson.

01:41:08It grows in the desert areas of Arizona

01:41:10and northern Mexico.

01:41:12Do not worry.

01:41:14This cactus will not attack you.

01:41:16But it will cling to your skin or your clothes

01:41:18if you have the misfortune to touch it.

01:41:20This fur coat protects

01:41:22the cactus from animals,

01:41:24creates shade and protects it from heat.

01:41:26The lateral branches are

01:41:28the most important parts of the plant

01:41:30because they carry out photosynthesis

01:41:32and produce a large amount of moisture inside.

01:41:34Thus,

01:41:36despite all the dangers it presents,

01:41:38this cactus can be useful

01:41:40for people who move in the desert.

01:41:42And the danger here

01:41:44are the needles.

01:41:46If you look closely,

01:41:48you will notice their bearded appearance.

01:41:50Just touch them and hundreds of thorns

01:41:52sink into your finger.

01:41:54It is difficult to get rid of it

01:41:56and the thorns cause extremely unpleasant

01:41:58painful sensations.

01:42:00But what is most interesting

01:42:02with this cactus

01:42:04is the way it reproduces.

01:42:06The plant clones itself in a new place.

01:42:08When animals and humans pass

01:42:10in front of this cactus and touch it,

01:42:12it gives them a small piece of itself

01:42:14with its thorns.

01:42:16As soon as this piece falls to the ground,

01:42:18it takes root and begins to grow.

01:42:20We increase the degree of danger.

01:42:22The next desert monster

01:42:24runs towards us.

01:42:26And it's an ostrich.

01:42:28Many people think that these animals

01:42:30are poltrons, just good

01:42:32to bury their heads in the sand.

01:42:34You would probably change your mind

01:42:36if you had the bad luck to meet one.

01:42:38In general, ostriches are not aggressive.

01:42:40But you will have to take your legs

01:42:42at your neck if you ever

01:42:44approach their nest.

01:42:46However, you are unlikely to escape them

01:42:48because ostriches have a top speed

01:42:50of 70 km per hour.

01:42:52You will need a car to distance them

01:42:54because they sprint and hit

01:42:56their chest.

01:42:58It even happened that ostriches

01:43:00attacked trucks and caused

01:43:02significant damage to them.

01:43:04But the main danger of these

01:43:06volatiles lies in their powerful legs

01:43:08equipped with clenched claws.

01:43:10With these, they can deliver

01:43:12powerful blows and even hit

01:43:14an opponent on the ground.

01:43:16So yes, if you see an ostrich in the distance,

01:43:18make your way.

01:43:20This little sharp-tongued lizard

01:43:22spends almost all his time underground.

01:43:24He lives in the arid deserts

01:43:26of the southwest of the United States

01:43:28and northwest of Mexico.

01:43:30Sometimes he goes out

01:43:32to look for his meal.

01:43:34He looks like a trognon,

01:43:36but in fact he is a very dangerous

01:43:38gila monster.

01:43:40His thick skin protects him

01:43:42from falcons, coyotes and other predators.

01:43:44But his main asset is his venom.

01:43:46Snakes and spiders inject

01:43:48their toxins with clenched claws.

01:43:50But the gila monster

01:43:52is very close to his prey

01:43:54and the mesh to spread his venom.

01:43:56And when a person dies,

01:43:58he is able to keep his jaws closed

01:44:00for a very long time.

01:44:02It is difficult to get rid of the animal.

01:44:04People who have felt the effects

01:44:06of his venom say they have had

01:44:08the impression that fusion lava

01:44:10passed into their veins.

01:44:12Despite this, the lizard

01:44:14proved useful to science.

01:44:16Doctors have exploited his venom

01:44:18to design drugs

01:44:20The time has come.

01:44:22Get ready to meet

01:44:24one of the scariest creatures

01:44:26in the desert.

01:44:28Do not make any noise

01:44:30and just enjoy the silence.

01:44:32Do not move.

01:44:34There is no one around.

01:44:36Suddenly you hear a whistle

01:44:38coming from below.

01:44:40You lower your head

01:44:42and you see it.

01:44:44A big yellow spider

01:44:46the size of the palm of your hand

01:44:48It is not easy to do

01:44:50in such a situation.

01:44:52But try to calm down.

01:44:54The creature is not interested in you.

01:44:56It only wants your shadow

01:44:58to hide from the scorching sun.

01:45:00In any case,

01:45:02it is better not to touch it.

01:45:04The powerful jaws of the giant spider

01:45:06can cause very unpleasant sensations.

01:45:08It is the least we can say.

01:45:10Besides, this creature is not

01:45:12exactly a spider.

01:45:14Sure, it belongs to the arachnid class.

01:45:16But it is a distinct species.

01:45:18The solpugidae.

01:45:20It likes to bite.

01:45:22It is not fearful,

01:45:24and even quite aggressive.

01:45:26The solipude feeds on insects,

01:45:28lizards, rodents and small birds.

01:45:30It can also move

01:45:32at a speed of 16 km per hour.

01:45:34Given its small size,

01:45:36it is very fast.

01:45:38You have to be a professional athlete

01:45:40to escape it.

01:45:42Most often,

01:45:44it is also found in Mexico

01:45:46and in the southwest of the United States.

01:45:48These spiders are nocturnal

01:45:50and try to avoid the sun during the day.

01:45:52So that they will always be in search of your shadow.

01:45:54Moreover,

01:45:56they owe their name to the fact

01:45:58that they flee the sun in all circumstances.

01:46:00You will have no chance of escaping them

01:46:02during the day.

01:46:04But they will also want to take you

01:46:06during the night.

01:46:08Especially if you make a fire.

01:46:10The solpugidae always run towards the light

01:46:12Some species of spider

01:46:14even emit a whistle

01:46:16to frighten their enemies.

01:46:18Let's calm down for a moment

01:46:20and leave this scorching desert.

01:46:22We enter the humid tropics of Tanzania.

01:46:24Under the bark of the trees,

01:46:26the dead leaf mats

01:46:28and in the dark caves,

01:46:30you could meet

01:46:32one of the most terrifying creatures on the planet.

01:46:34The amblypige or 24-hour spider.

01:46:36Imagine yourself

01:46:38a big scorpion without a tail,

01:46:40with a flat body that seems to have been compressed.

01:46:42It looks like spiders

01:46:44but has no venom glands

01:46:46and cannot weave webs.

01:46:48This monster is fast and silent.

01:46:50But what is most frightening

01:46:52are its two front claws,

01:46:54twice as long as the creature itself.

01:46:56Any prey it catches will never escape.

01:46:58His entire life spent

01:47:00in a dark cave has altered his sight

01:47:02and the amblypige therefore tries to avoid the light of the sun.

01:47:04During the night,

01:47:06he climbs to the ceiling

01:47:08in order to escape from his old skin.

01:47:10Imagine yourself directing your lamp to this place

01:47:12to see small cocoons

01:47:14from where pale spiders come out

01:47:16with excessively long legs.

01:47:18If you meet this creature in real life,

01:47:20keep calm and move away

01:47:22as far as possible.

01:47:24Stay on your guards.

01:47:26The amblypige can slip under your clothes

01:47:28in a wink and bite you in the abdomen.

01:47:30And it's nothing compared to what awaits you.

01:47:32Okay, it's a joke.

01:47:34This nice little guy

01:47:36is one of the most shy and harmless creatures

01:47:38among all the arachnids.

01:47:40He is afraid of us and will never take you.

01:47:42Many find him majestic

01:47:44and keep amblypige

01:47:46in green terrariums.

01:47:48If you want such a pet,

01:47:50watch carefully

01:47:52that it does not escape from its house.

01:47:54Because if this happens,

01:47:56it will be very difficult to catch it.

01:47:58In a few moments,

01:48:00it can slip under your bed

01:48:02or pass through the interstices of the floor.

01:48:04Then it will go into your neighbor's apartment

01:48:06through the ventilation system

01:48:08and terrorize the people who are there.

01:48:12Well, why not a little scorpion

01:48:14for the road?

01:48:16The latter is not as scary

01:48:18as the other creatures in this video.

01:48:20But this is the most venomous scorpion

01:48:22in the United States.

01:48:24The Centruroide Sculturatus of Arizona.

01:48:26The problem is that it can be found

01:48:28in the desert, at home

01:48:30or in your garden.

01:48:32Dangerous venomous animals

01:48:34slip into rooms and often sting people.

01:48:36A single sting is enough

01:48:38to cause a pain similar

01:48:40to that of a bee sting.

01:48:42But an allergic person can suffer from paralysis,

01:48:44respiratory distress

01:48:46and other extremely serious health problems.
