It’s Christmas time! You, together
with some friends, are headed to the snow-laden woods to get the sturdiest and
most beautiful pine tree for your living room. White Christmas is almost sure
to brighten up your Holidays. But as you think of a white Christmas, nature
plays you with her bag of tricks, greeting you with a blizzard that you didn’t
prepare for. Unluckily, neither a cabin nor a bear-inhabited cave is near to
keep you safe.
Like what usually happens, no mobile
phone signal is usable and no traceable tracks can lead you back home. All that
is left for you and your friends is to helplessly wait for the blizzard to stop
under a tall pine tree, expecting this disaster will exhaust its load very
soon. You might be helpless, but that doesn’t mean you are sure to die because
sudden disasters always have equivalent strange survival techniques.
1. Pee yourself
Urine comes with strong odor which
makes it highly traceable by rescue dogs. After a freezing night under the
blizzard, the first thing you want to happen is be rescued and have the rescue
team do all the necessary actions to take you home, assuming you are too weak
to even walk.
What’s the best part of it? You can
pee on your friends without “pissing” them off. After all, you are saving them.
The worst-case scenario, however, is when other canines smell your pungent odor
before the rescue team, and they include foxes, wolves, and coyotes.
2. Exchange breaths
Your body heat as carried on by your
breath can be passed on to your friends; thus, keeping everybody as warm as
possible. In addition to huddling like penguins to avoid having the warm
temperature escape your bodies, exchanging breaths like how it is done in
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation will keep your lungs from freezing.
Want a bonus? Think of it as a more
intimate bonding between you and your friends.
