For that reason, we at Echo Woven\u00a0have gathered a few tips and tricks on how to act quickly and remain calm during such situations.\n\n

1. Learn how to\u00a0treat a\u00a0jellyfish sting.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
After this happens, you need to\u00a0get out of\u00a0the water as\u00a0soon as\u00a0you\u00a0possibly\u00a0can. Next, you will need to\u00a0remove what\u2019s left of\u00a0the fish with tweezers\u00a0\u2014 it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll see leftovers of\u00a0the tentacles on\u00a0your skin. Afterward, soak the affected area in\u00a0hot water or\u00a0take a\u00a0hot shower for about 20\u00a0to\u00a040\u00a0minutes.\n
With less severe stings, follow the treatment by\u00a0cleaning the sores daily and use icepacks. For severe ones, you might need to\u00a0go\u00a0to\u00a0the hospital so\u00a0that antivenom can be\u00a0administered.\n\n

2. Learn how to\u00a0survive a\u00a0shark attack.\n\n

First of\u00a0all, try to\u00a0remain calm and not splash the water around you, as\u00a0it\u2019ll draw more attention. It\u2019s important to\u00a0try and maintain eye contact with the\u00a0shark\u00a0at\u00a0all times to\u00a0prevent it\u00a0from ambushing you. Now, if\u00a0you notice the shark going into attack mode, make yourself look as\u00a0big as\u00a0you possibly can in\u00a0the water. This will make the shark respect you more.\n
Do\u00a0the opposite of\u00a0this if\u00a0it\u00a0looks like it\u2019s just passing\u00a0by, and make yourself smaller. However, if\u00a0it\u00a0starts attacking you, you have to\u00a0fight back. Kick it\u00a0and punch\u00a0it, and if\u00a0you can, do\u00a0so\u00a0in\u00a0its sensitive areas, like the gills. Don\u2019t let it\u00a0go\u00a0behind you either. If\u00a0you succeed in\u00a0scaring it\u00a0away, go\u00a0back to\u00a0the shore, slowly, without drawing too much attention to\u00a0yourself.\n\n
\n
3. Learn to\u00a0survive a\u00a0bear attack.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
First, always carry\u00a0bear\u00a0spray with you. If\u00a0you think there might be\u00a0bears around, make some noise\u00a0\u2014 talk to\u00a0yourself, sing, whistle, you name\u00a0it. Don\u2019t leave food on\u00a0the tracks since this will attract them. If\u00a0you encounter a\u00a0grizzly bear, don\u2019t run. Instead, back away slowly and be\u00a0prepared to\u00a0use the bear spray.\n
Try not to\u00a0show yourself as\u00a0a\u00a0threat, make yourself look smaller if\u00a0you can, and don\u2019t look at\u00a0the bear in\u00a0the eyes. If\u00a0it\u00a0charges at\u00a0you, throw yourself to\u00a0the ground and play dead for about 10\u00a0to\u00a020\u00a0minutes until the grizzly bear finally moves away. While doing this, lay in\u00a0a\u00a0position that protects your head and stomach.\n
The situation changes a bit if it\u2019s a black bear. If you happen to find one, make yourself look big, wave your arms around, and stand your ground. If it charges at you, you have to fight back. Try to hit the bear in the nose or any other sensitive area you might think of with sticks or rocks. Do this until the black bear runs away.\n\n

Simply put, don\u2019t risk your life. Give them the\u00a0car\u00a0because, more likely than not, they\u2019re only after the car. If\u00a0you\u2019ve got kids with you, it\u2019s important to\u00a0get them out of\u00a0the car first, then leave yourself. If\u00a0the robber happens to\u00a0tell you to\u00a0move over and let them\u00a0in, get out of\u00a0the car instead. Never stay in\u00a0the car when this happens if\u00a0you can avoid\u00a0it.\n\n

If\u00a0you ever find yourself in\u00a0the unfortunate situation of\u00a0being locked in\u00a0the\u00a0trunk of\u00a0a\u00a0car, there are a\u00a0few things you can try to\u00a0get yourself out. Pull the emergency release lever of\u00a0the trunk. If\u00a0that doesn\u2019t work, try pulling the trunk release cable instead. You can also try to\u00a0break the brake lights and grab the attention of\u00a0people this way. Lastly, you can try to\u00a0escape through the back seat by\u00a0kicking\u00a0it.\n\n

6. Learn how to\u00a0treat frostbite.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n

You can recognize\u00a0frostbite\u00a0by\u00a0redness on\u00a0the skin as\u00a0well as\u00a0accompanying soreness. This happens before it\u00a0becomes pale and firm. If\u00a0faced with frostbite, here\u2019s how you treat\u00a0it: Dry it\u00a0first by\u00a0patting it\u00a0with a\u00a0piece of\u00a0dry clothing. Be\u00a0careful not to\u00a0rub it\u00a0because this can make it\u00a0worse. Then cover the affected area with a\u00a0dry, clean cloth to\u00a0keep it\u00a0protected.\n
Get to\u00a0a\u00a0place where you can heat some water\u00a0up. The ideal temperature for it\u00a0would be\u00a0around 110\u00baF (43\u00baC), but it\u2019s likely you won\u2019t have a\u00a0way to\u00a0measure\u00a0it, so\u00a0go\u00a0by\u00a0the way it\u00a0feels. It\u00a0needs to\u00a0be\u00a0warm but not extremely hot. After this, soak the affected area in\u00a0the water and add more warm water as\u00a0you go\u00a0until you see that the skin is\u00a0going back to\u00a0its regular color. Your senses will also get back to\u00a0normal during this time.\n\n
\n
7. Learn how to\u00a0float by\u00a0using your pants.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
First, you have to\u00a0take your\u00a0pants\u00a0off and tie the legs together in\u00a0a\u00a0knot. Now, like you would do\u00a0to\u00a0a\u00a0plastic bag to\u00a0open it\u00a0up, hold the waist of\u00a0the pants and swing them across to\u00a0your head if\u00a0possible, and grab as\u00a0much air in\u00a0them as\u00a0you possibly can. Next, put your head in\u00a0between the tied legs, and hold the waist close to\u00a0your body, below the water.\n
As you go, keep splashing the pants with water so they stay wet.\n\n
\n
8. Learn how to\u00a0make a\u00a0plastic bag rope.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
You might need more than one bag, depending on\u00a0how long you need the\u00a0rope\u00a0to\u00a0be. But first, cut the bags in\u00a0half, down the middle. Next, make a\u00a0hole in\u00a0the bottom of\u00a0each bag. What you\u2019re going to\u00a0do\u00a0now is\u00a0place one half of\u00a0a\u00a0bag through that hole, then pass it\u00a0through its own hoop so\u00a0that it\u2019s wrapped around\u00a0it.\n
This will make it\u00a0so\u00a0you have strands of\u00a0plastic, ready for the next step, which is\u00a0adding more bags to\u00a0make your rope longer. After you add these bags, get a\u00a0place to\u00a0hook them on\u00a0to\u00a0so\u00a0you can braid them all together and make the plastic rope bag stronger. This way, it\u00a0won\u2019t fall apart as\u00a0easily.\n\n
\n
9. Learn what to\u00a0do\u00a0if\u00a0your brakes go\u00a0out.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
If\u00a0you notice that your\u00a0brakes\u00a0have started failing, take your foot off the gas as\u00a0soon as\u00a0you can. Next, if\u00a0you\u2019ve got time, turn on\u00a0your hazard lights and make noise with your horn to\u00a0warn others not to\u00a0come close to\u00a0you. Then, slowly shift the gears down so\u00a0you start going slower. As\u00a0you do\u00a0this, try to\u00a0pump the brake pedals as\u00a0hard and fast as\u00a0you can, as\u00a0it\u00a0might be\u00a0enough to\u00a0stop the car.\n
You can also use the emergency brake, but with care, because this won\u2019t exactly stop the car. However, it\u00a0will slow it\u00a0down significantly and you\u2019ll be\u00a0able to\u00a0steer the car to\u00a0safety. If\u00a0nothing works and you\u2019re in\u00a0a\u00a0real predicament, you can try to\u00a0use the rail guards, especially if\u00a0you\u2019re on\u00a0a\u00a0highway. It\u2019ll scrape the sides of\u00a0your car, but it\u2019ll help you slow down.\n\n
\n
10. Learn how to\u00a0break down a\u00a0door.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
You\u2019ll need to\u00a0kick the\u00a0door\u00a0in\u00a0a\u00a0specific spot, which is\u00a0next to\u00a0the lock and not the lock itself. For more efficiency, lean into the kick, and then with your heel, kick down the door. With the foot that\u2019s still on\u00a0the ground, press on\u00a0it, giving the kick more strength. Do\u00a0it\u00a0this way instead of\u00a0trying to\u00a0jump kick the door down or\u00a0using your shoulder to\u00a0do\u00a0it. You might end up\u00a0hurting yourself if\u00a0you do\u00a0it\u00a0that way.\n\n
