You never know what tomorrow might bring. It might start like a perfectly ordinary day but then you go out for a hike and get lost in the wilderness. Or get back to your apartment building and take the elevator to your floor just for it to start falling.

Of course, it's very improbable that you'll end up in a similar situation. But if, God forbid, you do, internet personality Adorian Deck, aka The Facts Guy, wants you to be prepared. So he is working on an interesting video series where he shares information on how to identify and escape emergencies.

40 Life-Saving Tips You Might Not Have Known But Definitely Should When crying for help, try and call some specific people like "hey, you in the red shirt, help, I'm being mugged!" A lot of people will ignore a help call so if you call someone specifically they'll look at you. If people are really ignoring your help call you can just try and yell "fire!" because people are going to come running to see stuff burning.

It's an instinct in felines and other predatorts too. Turning your back is what will trigger prowling/attack behavior. So whatever you do, don't turn your back.

If somebody is ever trying to take you or points a gun at you to get you away in a public place, you just have to start screaming and fighting. Even if you're shot, medical attention can get to you relatively fast, but if they do end up taking you to a private place, your chances of being rescued are much lower

40 Life-Saving Tips You Might Not Have Known But Definitely Should If you've gone two and a half days without water and your only choice is either drink water that can't be sanitized or not drink water, drink the water. You're gonna pass away no matter what if you don't drink it. Most diseases you get from drinking bad water takes a couple of days to set in so you have some more time to get out.

40 Life-Saving Tips You Might Not Have Known But Definitely Should If you ever feel like someone is following your car, take four right turns. If they're still behind you, they're following you. You can also get off and on the freeway, but if this happens, just stay calm. Call the police and drive to a police station. Don't go home.
