Be Amazed at these survival myths that do more harm than good! Suck out snake bite venom – This survival tip has been played out in several movies and TV shows, as doing this act presumably removes venom from the victim who was bound for an untimely death due to the snake’s venomous bite. Play dead to avoid bear attacks.This is perhaps the most well-known “survival tip” of them all — playing dead in order to avoid getting mauled by a bear. It is important to find a food supply immediately. Food is essential if you want to survive in the wild outdoors. Without food, you’d run out of energy and eventually starve to death, so it’s quite logical to find a food source first, right? Not really, because an average person can live for weeks without eating food . Eating snow can rehydrate you. Snow is literally frozen water, and as said earlier, water is needed in order to replenish your lost fluids when you’re trapped in the wild. Rubbing frostbitten skin will warm it up. Being exposed to extremely cold environments without proper equipment significantly increases the risk of frostbite.

Moss grows on the north side of trees. Lost in the woods without a compass? Not a problem, just look where the moss grows on trees as it always grows on the north according to one survival tip. Prioritise having a roof on your shelter. If you’ve seen many TV shows about surviving in the wild, you’ll see that they build shelters with roofs over their head, prioritising it over anything else. Punch a shark to stop an attack – Shark attacks rarely happen. In fact, you’re more likely to die from a lightning strike compared to getting attacked by a shark . Locate a water source immediately in a desert. Suppose you find yourself stuck on a desert with a dwindling water supply, the first and foremost course of action to take is to locate a water source to prevent dehydration, correct? Boiling water will make any water supply clean. So you found a water source, but you’re not sure whether it’s clean enough to drink. The solution? Boil the water and it will be completely safe to drink!
