Lesson of the day: Just stay home

If a bear charges, simply decline his credit card :)

Bear attack advice: If it's black, fight back If it's brown, lay down If it's white, say goodnight

As a person who's taken many bear safety courses for jobs and lived in bear country all my life it is not a good idea to ever run away from a bear.They can run faster than any person can. If you see a black bear make yourself look larger by stretching your arms up and if it ignores you slowly back away facing it. If it charges you then you should remain still with your arms up. It is most likely a false charge (runs up to you but stops about 2 ft away) to test if you'd run. If you face away or trip infront of the bear it will see that as an oppertunity to attack. If it pushes on the ground roll on your back and cover your neck. If the bear is trying to kill you and you have no other option but escape,never climb a tree or run on a flat ground instead look for a steep hill to run down once at the bottom run far away. Bears take a few minutes climbing down steep hills and often avoid it. If no hills are near you and it is chasing you your pretty fucked you could try to throw food at it to distract it but at that point it probably isn't hungry and just wants to kill you. Another option is to attack it with a stick or weapon. But to avoid bear ecounters completely bring bear mace, dogs with bells, or a bear whistle, don't bring that could attract bears and avoid areas with bear scratches in trees and possible bear dens

I'm sorry, if a fucking big ass great white shark attacks you, you are dead AF..

Basically if find yourself in a situation like that then you are totally fucked

Never under any circumstances should you run from any charging bear. Running may turn a false charge into an actual attack and at any rate, you will never out run a bear.

A magical place where you never get harmed a magical place with magical charms ....indoors indoors INDOOOOOOOOOOOORS

Running from a black bear will get you mauled; you don't run from any bear. Play dead for Grizzly Bears, and make yourself seem bigger for Black bears.

what do i do when i encounter an angry platypus though?

if the bears chase you...call your homie winneh the poo

"Bear pepper spray is a good idea." Bro i'm going hiking at a creek, not living in the woods like bear grylls.

Okay, I don't see how you can outrun a bear because they are fast as hell

If a shark attacks you just play dead... on land... after escaping it.

I'm sorry but there's NO WAY YOU'LL FIND ME LAYING DOWN WHEN I SEE A BEAR CHARGING ME, NOPE I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH RUNNING, MY BODY WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME MAKE A DECISION LIKE THAT

I love how he said "sometimes". Encountering a bear is very dangerous, and you're most likely going to get mauled. "Playing dead" "Tip toeing away" "Making yourself look bigger" and that nifty "bear spray" is not a 100% solution. Read the situation carefully, act cautiously, remember these "tips"('cause they help, but they don't solve your problem), and hope for the best!

now I can fight jaws

ye like im going to lie right in front of the bear in a flight or fight situation

Yeah.. if i'm in this situation.. i'll Forget everything this video told me..

How many people do you know would fight a bear or shark??

How will #4 get me killed?

You will never out run a bear and punching a shark has saved many lives

6 weeks without food; can I even survive 6 hours

yeah because i just have some bear pepper spray under my bed no big deal

pff, don't make me laugh, if a shark attacks you the best thing you have left to do is to fucking pray.

My tip when u encounter a bear: Try to look like a sexy female bear. I mean bears have poor eyesight...

Myth 10: Half of these won't work and you're totally dead

1)Hold the limb below or close to the heart level for the poison to prevent from reaching the heart or get to the hospital as soon as possible 3)Another survival tip is that we can bring food 5)Some sharks if punch and nose work

If you want to learn more about how to survive, read this book called "Don't Get Eaten" by Dave Smith

How to survive a video on KZfaq with incorrect information: exit!!!

This animation was absolutely hilarious for some reason. Especially the bear charging at you (and the bear with underwear lol) + the music. Very informative as well though, thanks :)

Thanks for the info.

Just one simple question, why do parents put backpacks on their kids in bear country, then fill them up with sacks.

The thing about sucking out snake venom never made any sense for me, not even when I was child. I mean, if you got the smallest notion of how venom works (that is, that it's injected into the bloodstream), then common sense alone should tell you trying to suck it out is simply impossible.

Great video.

I think I will go on a marathon of videos like that. Even if those situations are very unlikely to happen in my life, I can still brag on my knowledge :D

Poison and venom are two completely different things.. This video is a joke

I don't see how thinking moss is on the north side of a tree gets you killed.

Very interesting!

this is so Informational.

1:02 so your being racist between a brown bear and a black bear?

I'd rather have venom in my mouth than bloodstream

Good Content. New Subscriber. I have a question, Why is this channel called tech insider? what's with the tech?

I love the animation 😊 Especially the black bear running, haha!

Yeah, good luck outrunning a bear.

Now how can I survive my dad's leather belt

My grandfather lives near a forest in Maryland. He told me, when I was little, that hikers should always carry pepper spray and wear little bells when they hike in bear country. How do you know that you're in bear country? Check for droppings. They smell like pepper and have little bells in them.

Thankd for da tips

if you play dead when a grizzly bear attack's you won't he try to eat you still?

The black bear one is also false. Not even Usain Bolt can outrun a bear and bears are extremely good at climbing trees so that's useless as well. With a black bear you're basically fucked.

Thanks sir

N°1) First off, venom, uncontrary to poison, needs to be injected into the bloodstream to carry it's effect but it's impotent when ingested into the mouth straight to his way into the stomach (excepted when wounds are present in the mouth.) Second off, since the bloodstream is connected to the whole body through the heart, once venom is injected by biting it is impossible to prevent it from further progressing into the body as long as the heart beat. The only theoretical method of "protecting" yourself from a venom bite would be by using a piece of cloth or anything that could be used as a belt to be tightened around the base of the affected limb, as to shut down the blood circulation and thus stopping the venom from spreading. And i emphasize the term "theoretical method" because, at best, you got a couple of second to carry that out and, in the heat of the moment, when you've got a creature with sharp long fangs biting deep into your flesh, rationnal survival thinking becomes pretty much a foreign concept. N°5) Sharks are fishs. And like any fish, they suffocate when air is blowing into their gil - it is akin for humans to having water poured into their lungs. Though dangerous and difficult to pull out, it is more practical than clawing at it with human nails which would simply result in making it even madder. Also, despite being predators, Sharks are not overly aggressive creatures. They're "professionnal" hunters : they'll first look forward to ascertain the nature of the objects in their vicinity, differenciating living things from objects, animated or not, before going on the attack. Sharks have bad eyesight and relies more on heir sense of smell and touch to find out preys. The nose in particular is a very sensible part of their anatomy that acts like a second tongue, probbing the thing they hit it with as to differenciate what they can eat from what they cannot when they find something that doesn't move in the water, like we'd use a stick to see if something is dead by poking it. That is why, though you could send a rubber ring/life preserver in at a location filled with Sharks in unturbulated waters, they'll never attempt to eat it because they'll find out that it doesn't move and it's texture isn't flesh. As such, if you spot a Shark away from you, *do not make any sudden move* and instead try to take out everything and anything metallical and/or artificial upon you, as slowly as possible, and hold it in front of the Shark's nose for it to sense it, but also take EXTRA care as not a single part of your flesh touches it (otherwise you're as good as dead.) IF done correctly (i insist on the "IF") the Shark will take you for an inanimated object and not potential food and will simply be swimming away from you. And before someone replies me with comments of the likes of _"that doesn't sound like those methods are very reliable at all"_ , i'll answer : who, in their right fucking mind, would either go into a forest trip filled with venomous creatures *_without_* any form of proper medical preparation, or go swimming at sea *_without_* consulting the local rescuers' bulletin to see if there's any danger they should know about and/or be looking for before going !?

The odds of surviving a shark attack are slim

if a bear charges ,simply decline his credit card

awesome!

I have read that "playing dead" when face with a grizzly bear only works when actually being attack and just falling down would have little effect. But running won't work but backing away, nose, and large numbers will deter a bear.

thnx u just saved my day wont do any of those mentioned things in my life

If you have to watch a youtube video for this advice, dont try any of it!

I don't know what to believe some videos say to do this and some say don't it could kill you

Here's advice from the National Park Service: www.nps.gov/subjects/bears/safety.htm . Note that it says there is no single strategy that works in every situation. I have encountered bears before, and I found that walking away slowly and calmly worked. But as the Park Service says, there is no guarantee of safety.

we need to growl if a bear arrives

I wonder if they have a Mcdonalds in the woods?

Who did they get the shark advice from??? LOL John Mayer: "Like punching underwater, you can never hit who you're trying for." Dwight Schrute: "The eyes are the groin of the face."

Interesting!

Easiest way to survive bear attacks: Bring a gun

when a bear charges you're dead. Unless you're an assassin "Gamers will understand"

Why is this channel called Tech Insider but there's very little about tech here? And why am I subbed? And why can't I stop myself watching these videos? :-/

nice channel

Of course the black bears are more dangerous xD

Know the difference between venom and poison next time (regards from a 11 year old).

I like how its a video of myths that can get you killed while in this video their answer for bears is actually a myth that can also get you killed.

I subscribed

When people make pointless videos...seriously these are no myths

For a snake bite its best to encourage bleeding, or to use a form of tourniquet to prevent the poison from spreading from the site where you were bitten. A snake bite is also much more likely to inject the venom intramuscularly, not intravenously so it is not going straight into the blood stream. Holding you hand close to, or below heart level is going to do jack sh*t. Your feet being below your heart doesn't stop blood from flowing all the way back up, so it wont work with your hands either. Avoiding raising your heart rate will reduce spreading though, which might be difficult because you're probably panicking about being bitten by a snake.

I saw one of these technique in brave wilderness (especially myth #2)

oh and by the way tech insider YOU JUST EARNED YOURSELF A PROBABLY LOYAL SUBSCRIBER I HOPE YOU READ THIS!!!!

Thanks for the advice. Now how do you stop a angry koala again??

1:18 do not try to RUN they can run up to 30 miles per hour and they like the cardio as well as climbing tress so don’t do that either. Wave you hands and yell to assert dominance if it howls back don’t flinch keep going make yourself bigger. And don’t look at Its eyes if it does attack you and doesn’t back out aim for its eyes and snout don’t punch it their claws are better weapons use anything you have to get and advantage

If you get lost in the woods or any other secluded area remember the rule of fours On average, you can last about: 4 minutes without air (ability to breath) 4 hours without heat (shelter and fire) 4 days without water (fresh drinking supply) 4 weeks without food (fresh and edible food)

when in the wilderness, food is very important; without food you are left without energy, without energy all you can really do is sit around awaiting starvation. Food is actually a bit more important than water.

I love it how nearly all of these are wrong?😂

Also with North-side moss, if you are in the southern hemisphere, it is more likely to be on the south side. If you're in the tropics, well, just feed yourself to a jaguar. You can't navigate.

If a bear charges you it's usually either a False charge, or it just wants to give you its Mixtape

Nice info! But they forgot to add the "draw a circle to get rid of the sea-bear" it worked! But it attracts sea-rhinos

In Any bear encounter try to look bigger then the bear, like grab a big stick and wave it in the air and make a lot of noise. Also to prevent getting attacked by yourself in the wild you should make loud noise every couple minutes to let any bear know that your coming or else they will get startled and make a great effort to hurt you/defend themselves

what about preventative measures for sea bears and sea rhinos?

Knew all but the shark... good tip!

And advice on polar and cartesian bears?

For the first one about snake venom, all it could do is give the wound an infection. It actually wouldn't matter if the venom got in your mouths. This is because venom has to enter the blood stream to do anything. So just ingesting it wouldn't do anything.

Liked, subscribed, commented! Wow triple whammy

"a venomous bite delivers poison" very impressive snake.

If a bear confrontation is imminent, just show a few Wing-chun hand-drills. However, if he then essays some BJJ rolls and hip escapes, you're in trouble.

omg thank you I have been attacked by moss multiple times and i didn't know what to do.

Those are scary scenarios

So is no one going to mention how lit the music was?

Here in the North, my dad told me if I ever go hiking to make as much noise as possible.

Better tip, just make loud noises in the forest. Bears are very shy animals and will stay away from the noise.

These may have been cartoons but the second that shark popped on screen I was TRIGGERED.

What if your food supply contains watersuck as juce, coconut milk(the green unripen ones), and moist food

People have told me the moss one, but i never believed them. I saw a tree with moss covering the entire trunk
