If you find yourself in a survival situation, just 3 species of trees can mean the difference between getting out successfully and dying like an animal. This video will tell you what those trees are and how you can use them to your advantage.

Birch, spruce, and oak. All 3 serve their own purpose, but without knowledge of each of these trees, you'll likely not get out alive unless you have a tremendous amount of luck on your side.

When planning your next jaunt into the woods, be sure to learn some survival methods with these unique plants and practice them when you get into the forest.

It's easy to learn the methods, but putting them into practice is much more difficult; you'll thank yourself for practicing if you ever do get into a survival situation.
