Answer 1

1.) Hypothermia = exposure to extreme cold...Treat by slowly warming patient, get them into bed with you naked, rub muscles vigorously every 10 minutes, feed warm liquids///Bleeding...Treat by using bandage on wound and apply pressure///Heat Stroke...Feed patient bunches of liquids and a few salt tablets///Snake Bite...Assume bite is from poisonous snake...Make "X" shaped incision with knife blade at both points of fang entry. Suck hard over those two "X" marks and spit out all fluids that come out. Consider application of constricting band above wound to slow poisons pathway to the heart. Release constriction somewhat every 5 minutes...

2.) Best way to avoid panic is to set your mind on some definite plan such as singing a complicated song that you know, or calculating math problems in your head. Moral booster is planning what you will have for supper when you arrive back home, or what you will do on summer vacation.

3.) Personal surviva; kit: Good, sharp knife///Magnifying lens///flint stone///fishing line and hooks///small compass///rope saw with ring handles///waterproof matches///small mirror///snake bite kit///foil blanket or bag big enough to get in///2 liter plastic bottle and long cord///water purification tablets. Knife will be used to cut things-prepare food; magnifying lens can bew used to start fires on sunny days; flint stone is another way to start a fire; compass is good for direction finding for travel when lost; rope saw is good for cutting small branches for fire and/or sinews-bone in captured game animals; waterproof matches - obvious; mirror for signaling; snake bite kit - obvious; 2 liter bottle and cord - use for flotation if needed and to carry water from one place to another; foil or space blanket - super way to carry warmth in small package; water purification tablets are placed in water container to purify non saline ground water.

4.) Navigation w/o compass/map/gps...In daylight use the sun for compass...rises in EAST, sets in WEST. Look at the night sky, find the NORTH STAR and use to navigate at night. When walking always set your sights on a distant visable landmark and travel toward it. This prevents walking around in a circle.

5.) Carry water purification tablets...Boil water...Filter water through gortex membrane using pressure.

6.) Lighting a fire without matches or lighter...Friction - use cord strung on bow shaped branch of wood to spin a stick onto another hunk of wood. Moving bow back and forth spins stick. Junction of stick and hunk of wood will heat up enough to catch fire. Use magnifying glass in survival kit to set fire to leaves and shavings of wood. Use flint stone and knife to produce sparks which can ignite dry leave particles and dry wood shavings.

not an expert but i'll do my best ...
1) hypothermia , try to wrap up and get warm if treating someone else your body heat is best it will transfer to themwhen laying very close dont try to instant warm though it will cause the body to go into shock slowly bring the temp up but not too slowly. bleeding apply pressure to the wound constant pressure if the bleeding is severe you may have to turnicut the area but only do so if there is a danger of bleeding to death long periods of turnicut cause amputation the person needs to remain calm and sit down for a while so there heart slows pace to help with the bleeding for a deep cut use first aid kit and stitch it. Snake bites I can't remember.
2)deep breathing singing will help to avoid panic also singing loudly tends to scare off wild animals cause they don't know what u are. keep a level head and think of your options think now panic later
3) first aid kit filled with gauze, bandages benedine alchohol sterel splint kit needle and thread cool packs ace bandageand pain meds as well as a first aid book. emergeny flair gun and at least 3 flares. flint and flint stone water , survival guide snake bite kit trail mix (if you get lost snacking a little piece at the time will help the time pass and help stay calm and keep you from being hungry.) map compass for finding your way.
4) follow the northern star at night, follow the sun during the day or find water and walk it down (water like strem brook, lake) civilizations have been built along water since well forever
5)if its salt watr you use plastic to evaporate it and drip back into a pan you can boil freshwater for 15 minutes to purify thats all I know
6) rub two sticks toghether forever use a magnifying glass or yur eyeglasses to direct the sun two stone smacked can create a spark or prayy for lighting to strike a small nearby rotten log?

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.
