4) Floods
It may be confusing not to run away from a flood, but if you try to drive away in a car when the floor is taking place at a fast pace, you could get swept away. Instead, get to higher ground. Seek out the most elevated point that you can safely reach. Of course, try to stay away from power lines and dangerous objects that may be swept away in that deadly current.
It might be difficult to remember the best advice for every single survival scenario. But if you can help it, remember these four! And don't run!
I would never have thought about the risk of running from a flood! Pretty fascinating. Do you have any other scenarios where running is not an option? Share below!

Two photographers were in the woods taking nature pictures when an angry bear appeared and started running straight towards them.
One photographer turned to the other and said “One of us is going to get some fantastic pictures”.
you can run away from a bear going down a steep hill but if you try running away up hill or level land then you will just die tired.
Totally depends on circumstances.Think about it.Use your Brain
When in bear country always travel with someone that runs slower than you
Bear pepper spray? Seriously?
Nope. A rifle in the 400 caliber range seems a better deterrent
You. 45/70. 444 marlin 416 rigby stuff like that.
Just then he shoots the other photographer in the knee with a 22 and slowly backs away.
I’m with Richard big bores are your friend in bear country
Did someone say dinner!
Mag-357 is always good to have in hand.
Try 44 mag.
Just always have a buddy and a small caliber handgun with you. Shoot your buddy in the knee and walk away like a boss. 😉
Were the fk did you get this info, “Black bears often bluff when attacking”! BS, if a black bear attacks they mean fkng business i.e. YOU are lunch jerk. Grizzly’s will often bluff charge. Stupid post.
At least a 44 mag, people shoot deer and they run a hundred yards or more sometimes. A passed off bear may be tougher to stop. That’s just my opinion.
Oh, and if he or she is headed your way in a trot, don’t wait to see if he just wants to be friends.
Just bring a shotgun with a few slugs, Winchester PDX1 (buck and ball or the new PDX1) great at stopping anything
Or maybe this?
“Bear spray” Bwahahaha….. .357
A cheetah?
Well a 454 Casull will take care of this bad boy! never go in the deep woods without it!
Would love to read your article but keep getting pop ups saying I won 1000 dollars… this needs to stop or Unfortunately I’ll unfollow…
I’m thinking you’re pretty much screwed with a grizzly bear whether you run or stand, excepting a large caliber handgun perhaps. And even that’s dicey.
Yeah and if a big brown bear is charging at you don’t thing bear spray will stop it that’s bull crap it a big grizzly or brown bear is hungry and wants you , you better have a firearm that can stop it and you better know how to use it. ,now if a bear not hungry bear spray might work but if it wants to kill you and the spray is all you got. , then God better send a angle to protect you if not your a fool to think bear spray is all you need , so it’s like this stay out of big bear country and mountain lion country and for sure wolf country , a pack of wolfs they are smart cunning and will follow you for miles ,a single bear is bad enough but a pack of wolfs is something else can’t watch all of them at the same time , one guy said take out a knife and go for the neck lol what a dumb$#%&!@*better stay out of their home unless it armed good and have a buddy that’s armed to help watch your back . When idiots get killed by bears lions or wolfs then it’s a all out hunt to kill the animal , that’s stupid if a dam fool puts their self on a ace like that don’t hate the animal
Oh you can’t fix stupid
I have nightmares of bears.
I’ll shoot 2 of them
I don’t live in the woods but I never leave the house unarmed.
Run downhill if possible. That’s the only thing bears don’t do well.
Always hike with a friend that can’t run as fast as you can.
I don’t own bear spray… Would bullets work?

Remember that if you are in a group, you never have to outrun the bear, just slowest member of your party. You know, the one nobody likes with the leg wound.
You gotta know when to hold em know when to fold em know when to walk away know when to run.
