Surviving is essentially applying one trick after another until you get out alive or you die. Of course this means the more survival tricks you know, typically the better your chances are of survival.

To greatly improve your odds, it's highly recommended that you watch the video below.

Most people rely on store-bought medication to serve all of their emergency survival needs. This is great if you have those things packed in your bag.

However, in a survival situation, you may not have that luxury, which is what makes this video so great.

You can fix a lot of common problems with simple things you can acquire out in the woods or that you may have on you, like pads or tampons for wounds.

Another great tip from this video is the tip of waiting to eat until just before bed if you have a limited supply of food, which will give your body the boost it needs to keep you warm through the night.

A good night's sleep is one of the most important factors that will keep a survivor alive.

Of course, the best piece of advice from this video: “Pack toilet paper if you get a chance, bros. You don't want to be wiping that ass with a pinecone.”

This is an awesome video that I'm going to watch again and again as I take notes.
