The Ultimate Life Hacks: Tips That Could Save Yours

April 12, 2022 by Alison Campbell

We think most of us can agree that quicksand has turned out to be, well, not a threat at all, contrary to what our childhood taught us. But there are a lot of insane things that can happen to a person that will trigger our fight or flight, and the more prepared you are in these situations, the better. Let’s take a look at some tips that could be life-saving.

Never remove objects from stab wounds, whatever it is, it could be blocking or stopping the blood flow, so keep it in there. If there is no object still in the wound, find something to apply pressure.

If you’re ever being attacked or even think you may be getting kidnapped, make sure to scratch the absolute heck out of the attacker because then their DNA is under your fingernails, and any true crime junkie will tell you this is vital information to have at your, uh, fingertips. 

Never walk down the stairs or on the ice with your hands in your pockets. If by chance you start to fall, you’ll need your hands to catch you or at least guard your dome. Odds are, you probably don’t want to smash your face in when it hits the pavement. 

There may come a time, and we hope not, that you have to break a car window. You may be tempted to start whacking at the middle of the window, but car windows are tempered, so the edges will be much more brittle.

If you find yourself stuck in a riptide, start swimming parallel to the shore, as you do this, you’ll move farther into the ocean, but this is significantly better than being stuck in a riptide because we promise you, nobody is stronger than a riptide. 

On thin ice? You’ll want to lie down on your back and crawl/wiggle your way back to shore. If the ice will hold you while you’re standing, it will more than likely hold you with your weight dispersed across a surface area. 

Do you have a dog that just wants to fight? If you ever have to break up a dog fight, grab the dog by the back legs and pull backward. This way, you aren’t near any mouths and/or little (sharp) teefs. 

Never ever let an attacker drag you into a vehicle. Fight with everything you’ve got because the chances of you being found and/or rescued after you’ve been moved to a second location drop significantly.
