I'm glad the video addressed the "punch a shark in the nose" myth. It makes so much sense that you'd have no power underwater. The advice to go for the gills or eyes seems much more effective and is something I'll remember.

Watching from South Africa.
You know, nobody ever told me that moss only grows on the north side of trees or what to do in the event of a bear attack. I must be really dumb (goodbye)

Bear advice is right for black bears, brown or grizzly. I would say climb a tree that's big enough they can't knock it over but small enough they can't climb it. The adults can climb but it's much harder for them.

I've always wondered if touching questionably edible things to your inner lip works at all. I hear that as a survival tip all the time

I would NEVER go into bear territory without some type of weapon.

Not only that but the black bear will steal your wallet. Your best hope against the black bear is to sprinkle a little bit of crack on him or give him a Bag of weed. Well at least according to Dave Chappelle. Chances are though the black bear is just going to kick your ass anyway.

When I was a kid you could but a snake bite kit with a tiny blade attached to a squeeze suction device the idea is you cookie cutter the wound open and suck out the blood and venom

5:29 The better saying to go by and will have a slightly better chance of survival is: If it's black, fight back. i it's brown, lie down. and if it's white, say goodnight.
Black bears are generally more timid than either of their larger cousins, and so by making yourself look big and scary by waving your arms, shouting, and potentially punching it if it gets too close, it will likely get scared and leave.
Brown bears or Grizzly bears are much larger, stronger, and will not be afraid of you. It is much more powerful and shouting will only piss them off. Because of their huge size, they know that they can take down whatever they want, and will be less willing to readily eat carrion like a black bear (who are very opportunistic creatures).
If you piss off a polar bear, you're already dead. Up in the arctic where they live, food is ALWAYS scarce, and so they will eat whatever they can get their furry paws on. You, a fleshy meat sack with little to no natural defenses and none that a hungry polar bear would give a shit about, who is phenomenally slower and weaker, are easy prey, dead or alive. A polar bear can and will eat you regardless of how you try to help yourself.
And, no matter the case, do NOT run from a bear, and ESPECIALLY not up a tree. Every one of them is faster than you, Grizzlies can climb and Blacks are very well known for their supremacy at it, and in the arctic trees are very scarce if at all within sight upon encountering a Polar bear. Bears can swim. Bears can run. And neither of you can fly.

22:37 best option is to not panic or try to swim away, since most sharks (including great whites) do not assume humans are prey, unless the human attempts to swim away or panics, because that sensation will send its instincts into full motion.
