Surviving the H1N1 (Swine Flu)

Posted in Survival on October 29, 2009 by mrbrightside

Besides getting the shot (which i dont believe in anyway) your choices are limited to what you can do to survive it as the targeted areas have been fairly random. However, please remember that so far this year more people have died from the common flu. H1N1 is a respritory disease, you cannot get it by touching someones hands, food, sinks ect. However you can get it if an infected person coughs or sneezes maybe in some cases even breathes near you. H1N1 has a range of approximatly 10ft.
It seems that the sensible solution would be to wear masks, but who wants to do that. However i believe that if you are infected you should be wearing a mask to protect the people around you.
Don’t think though that becasue it’s a respritory disease you dont have to stay clean. Viruses and diseases change, staying clean has never harmed anyone.

Nobel Peace Prize!

Posted in Survival on October 23, 2009 by mrbrightside

This has nothing to do with hunting or survival. and it’s about 2weeks old, but i have to rant about Obama winning the Nobel Peace prize it makes me mad every day!

What has he done?

NOTHING!!!!!

Poor Nobel is probably turning in his grave right now! He’s black, so what. We’re suppose to be equal to every race. So why was he given the prize if he hasn’t done anything peaceful!

There are about 40,000 US troops in Afghanistan (this number excludes the number in Iraq). Now if he’d maybe brought 10-15,000 troops home, and then sent a full task force of about the same amount into the Sudan; then promised to relieve the dying citizens of the rebels that plague the country amd have killed over 300,000 people, and take care of those people and helped stabalize the country like we’re all trying in Afghanistan. . . THEN he might be elligble for the Nobel Peace prize!!!

But no!

Here’s why he won: He pledged to ’reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen its role in combating climate change’. So he hasn’t done anything. He said a few things that might be on his agenda.

Im sorry but he’s no better than George Bush was. I liked Bush, at least he did stuff. This guy is like my Queen, just a figure head and icon of the country. I love my Queen but she really doesn’t do all too much (sorry liz). Being a black president doesn’t quite cut it for me. That’s not going to stop terrorism. The only way to stop it is by force, and Georgey was doing that, and i think that the reason people dont like him (weather he caused the war or not) is because lots of soldiers are dying. But remember its WAR, people die; and soldiers understand this better than anyone. Obama….book your ideas up :P

The Physcology Of Survival

Posted in Survival on October 20, 2009 by mrbrightside

It takes much more than the knowledge and skills to build shelters, get food, make fires, and travel without the aid of navigational devices to live successfully through a survival situation. Some people with little or no survival training have managed to survive life-threatening circumstances. Some people with survival training have died because they didn’t use their skills.  A key ingredient in any survival situation is the mental attitude of the individual(s) involved. Having survival skills is important; having the will to survive is essential.

Fear plays a large part in surviving. Fear is our emotional response to dangerous circumstances that we believe have the potential to cause death, injury, or illness. For the soldier trying to survive, fear can have a positive function if it encourages him to be cautious in situations where recklessness could result in injury. Unfortunately, fear can also immobilize a person. It can cause him to become so frightened that he fails to perform activities essential for survival. Each person must train themselves not to be overcome by their fears. Ideally, through realistic training, we can acquire the knowledge and skills needed to increase our confidence and thereby manage our fears.

Very few people want to be alone all the time! As you are aware, there is a distinct chance of isolation in a survival setting. However loneliness and boredom can bring to the surface qualities you thought only others had. When required to do so, you may discover some hidden talents and abilities. Loneliness and boredom can be another source of depression. As a soldier surviving alone, or with others, you must find ways to keep your mind productively occupied. You must have faith in your ability to survive and don’t ever give up.

Winter Survival

Posted in Survival on October 20, 2009 by mrbrightside

One of the most difficult survival situations is a cold weather scenario. Cold weather is as dangerous as an enemy soldier. Every time you venture into the cold, you are putting yourself against the elements. With knowledge of the environment, proper plans, and appropriate equipment, you can overcome the elements. But as you remove one or more of these, survival becomes increasingly difficult. Winter weather is highly variable! Prepare yourself to adapt to blizzard conditions even during sunny and clear weather.

Cold is a far greater threat to survival than it appears, it takes more than just staying physically warm. It decreases your ability to think and weakens your will to do anything except to get warm. Cold is an natural enemy; it numbs the mind and body, it breaks down your will to survive.

Cold makes it very easy to forget your ultimate goal–to survive!

Windchill is a very important factor to remember about winter weather. Windchill is the effect of moving air on exposed flesh.  With a 27.8-kph wind, and a temperature of -10 degrees C, the windchill temperature is -23 degrees C. So keep that in mind if you deside to go search for food or help. And when you are building a shelter, make sure the wind cannot reach you.

A cave in a snowdrift would probably be the best solution. To do this you dig a tunnel into the drift as low to the ground as possibe; then tunnel upward off the ground and dig an area for big enough for you to stay. Place sticks in strategic spots going through the drift into your cave incase it collapses so you can dig out. The reason for the tunnel going upward into your cave is because heat rises, therefore the heat you generate will not escape. Once you have built your shelter, make a small fire inside your dug out were you will stay. Dont make it big because snow melts, just make it so that it glazes your roof and walls (making it shiny). This will help reflect back your body heat. Once the walls are glazed extinguish the fire and begin your next task.

Why Mr. Nickell is the best!

I have to say, Mr. Nickell is pretty much the smartest person alive.  He is so wise and strong.  He told me to join the army…….  Mr. Nickell knows everything, Mr. Nickell is God!

WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY, COULD YOU SURVIVE?

Posted in Survival on October 16, 2009 by mrbrightside

 

    I was sitting inside Saskatoon, SK, airport last week, and I came to a conclusion. The majority of us would all be screwed if our technology quit working.

I couldn’t count how many people were on their cell phones, or working on laptops, or listening to their iPods waiting for a flight.
And this wasn’t just buisness men/women or teens, there were farmers, elderly people, young kids; every age group and class. I’m not saying i wasn’t, i was texting away also.
But…
What if it all went away? What if technology and our communications systems stopped working?

Just here in Canada, how many people would survive the harsh winter; or at least know how too? Many farms here have to haul their water from the town for drinking, so how would they do that? How would you get food? Would you know how to keep your family warm? There are so many things we take for granted that involve technology, could you survive it stopped!?

It doesn’t matter what race you are, we all come from ancestors that couldn’t even dream about vehicles, or phones, processed food, and gps. Yet they survived! But of our ancestors, how many have passed down their skills of survival? How many of you out there know how to hunt for food? It’s alot harder than pulling a trigger, do you know where to even start looking?
Basically what im trying to say is that the skills we once depended on for survival have almost been lost in time like the Mayans, or the ancient egyptians.
If you have the time you should try this; go out into the country, away from the city and civilization, take a friend or a family member, or if your not too scared, go alone. Take only a knife, the clothes on your back, 2 matches, and 1 item of food and try and survive at least one night. I’ve done it before and i had a blast, it was one of the best nights i’ve ever had. If you know how to survive you’ll have a great time. If you don’t…. you’ll get the biggest wake up call of your life :P
