4 Simple Hacks That Could Someday Save Your Life
An emergency situation can happen anywhere — in your favorite supermarket, on the street, and even in your own home. Unfortunately, we can’t predict them, but we can certainly be prepared and learn how to deal with them in order to save our own life and the lives of our loved ones.
We at Bright Side hope that you’ll never find yourself in a dangerous situation, but just in case you do, it would be better for you to know these 5 survival tips that will help you stay safe and sound.
Use a bra to protect your lungs.
If you’re caught in a raging fire, you should immediately protect your lungs from toxic ash, smoke, and dust. In this case, you can use the cup of your bra as a debris mask — just cover your nose and mouth with it and tighten the straps to attach it to your head.
Make a lantern with a headlamp and a water jug.
To create your own camping lantern, simply strap a headlamp around a jug filled with water, making sure that the light is pointed inside.
Fill a punctured tire with leaves.
If you don’t have an air pump but you need to fix a flat tire to get home, grab a bunch of grass or leaves and evenly pack the tire with as much as possible. This will help you with riding until you can reach a safe place.
Heat a room with a clay pot and candles.
If your power goes off in winter, take a few large bricks, a terra-cotta pot, and some candles. Light the candles and put the bricks around them. Turn the pot upside down and place it on the bricks, covering burning candles. This DIY air heater can easily heat an entire room.
