I've always found survival guides and tips to be really important because while I may never need to use them, they are there in case I am in a situation where i would need to survive. I thought I would share some of the tips I know so that if you are ever in a situation yourself, you can be prepared for it.

- If your car was to become submerged underwater, wait until the car is completely under the water before you try to open any of the doors. It may sound crazy, but you have to wait until the car is completely filled otherwise the difference in pressure will be too much and will force the car door shut. 

- In case of fire, if there is smoke in the air, stay low to the ground and keep your head down to reduce inhalation exposure. 

- If you're stuck out in wilderness and find a source of water, it is important that you purify it for human consumption. Rain water, or any water you'd find in lakes and rivers, needs to be somewhat purified. Drinking water that has not been purified can lead to many health problems such as E-Coli and Hepatitis.  If you're wondering why - water contains parasites, bacteria, viruses and chemicals. You can purify the water by heating it up.
