I recalled this when I saw the McDonalds Hot coffee thread
If you ever get blasted with Scalding hot liquid, Strip off the wet clothing immediately. That way it does it does not continue to burn you A long time ago I was told a story of two maintenance men who got sprayed by scalding hot water. As they were running to get away from it one man tore his wet clothing off, and the other man did not. The one who tore his clothes off had far less burns than the one who did not. Post your tip |
| I was wearing no shoes outside once, and my socks got drenched in boiling water. I tried like Hell to get the sock off because I could feel it doing damage to my foot after I had jumped away. When I finally did get it off, I saw a sheet of skin peel away with the sock.... |

| When driving, walking, or anything in between if you do something that requires another driver to slow down or change lanes or direction to avoid hitting you then you are putting your life in the hands of someone you don't know anything about. You can't avoid doing it completely but trying to keep it to a minimum increases your odds of survival significantly. |

Quoted: Post your tip If you're ever suffering from dehydration, find elephant poop and squeeze out the water. Oh, and if you ever need to go swimming, and it's really cold... Pull a seal out of it's skin and then wear it as a wetsuit. The skin, not the seal. Throw the seal away, or squeeze it for water. |

1. Never trust a fart. 2. Don't pass up a chance to take a piss. 3. Never waste a hard on. Parting words to me from my favorite CO of all time after his retirement ceremony. His advice will not be forgotten. Wise man for sure. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Those three things were said by an old guy who was assisting with a class in New Hampshire by Mas Ayoob some years ago. I'm kinda thinking he was retired military. He was in his 70s then, maybe 8-11 years ago. Makes me wonder if it was the same guy or just from the same circles. |

If you catch on fire stop, drop, and roll. You know, they kept telling us that shit in school like there was a high probability of catching fire. So far, 40 years into life and I haven't need this piece of information yet... That shit didn't work for me

Tip: while drinking and around a fire, be careful using any kind of fuel to "really git'er goin'" |

Tip: while drinking and around a fire, be careful using any kind of fuel to "really git'er goin'" My fire involved gas so a simple "stop, drop and roll" didn't cut it. Tip: Seriously, don't use gas to start a fire |
