5 Life-Saving Survival Skills You Just Might Need One Day


Increase your chances of escaping dangerous quicksand, being buried alive, deadly bear attacks, and more.

What to do if you're buried alive


Modern embalming procedure and the amount of pressure created by tons of dirt on top of the casket make the possibility of waking up six feet under nearly impossible. Still, it happens, so it's good to be prepared.

Step
1. Hope that you've been buried in a cheap pine or wicker box. The
chances of breaking out of a more fortified casket are bleak. Step 2.
Stay calm. You have about three hours' worth of oxygen, at most. Yelling
and/or panicking will use up some of that precious O2 (as
will lighting a match or lighter, if you happen to have one). Step 3.
Take off your shirt and use it to protect your face from dirt that will
fall into the coffin. Step 4. Kick the lid of the coffin until it
breaks. As the dirt rushes in, pack it into the space around your legs
and feet. Step 5. Sit up and continue to push the loose dirt into the
coffin. Step 6. Stand up and dig your way out of the hole.
