You came through them like a champ. So it’s time to look back at this year’s top five episodes and what we learned from them. What was your favorite How to Survive video in 2022? Let us know in the Comments below. Here’s How to Survive the Best of 2022

Number 5: World War III

It’s been a year of political uncertainty and unexpected dangers, so the threat of a new world war has haunted our planet. We must be ready for the worst. If a worldwide conflict breaks out, nuclear weapons could attack us without warning. After the weapon’s initial impact, you’d need to act quickly. Find a sturdy barrier, such as thick building walls, to protect yourself from the shockwave. You’ll only have 15 to 20 minutes to find shelter from the fallout. Cover your mouth and skin, and move to safety as fast as you can. Once you find shelter behind thick walls or underground, change your clothes and wait at least a full day before leaving. Take a shower, and wash your skin and hair well. But avoid using conditioner, as it traps radioactive material on your scalp. If you’re close to a country that’s not involved in the conflict, try to get there as fast as you can.

Number 4: The worst things to do in a dog attack

Dogs can be the most adorable creatures. But when provoked, they can become deadly beasts. Worldwide, they kill up to 25,000 people a year. To avoid getting attacked, never sneak up on a dog you don’t know or invade its territory. If the beast is barking and growling at you, take a deep breath and try to stay calm. Don’t look it in the eye or the dog may think you’re a threat and attack. Try to convince the dog that you are not a danger. Oh no! It didn’t work, and the canine lunged at you. Don’t yell. Loud noises will only trigger a more vicious attack. Instead, try firmly saying a common command such as “Stop” or “Calm down.” Hopefully, it will work. If it doesn’t, make sure the dog bites you in places where it will hurt less, like your shoes or a thick jacket. Since they smell like you, the animal may be satisfied after attacking them and leave. You’ll survive, but you will need a new coat.

Number 3: A saw-scaled viper attack

This tiny killer is the world’s deadliest snake. Its venom is not the most potent, but this viper is extremely aggressive. It kills more people than all other snake species combined. Why? Because it bites quickly and repeatedly. So if you see this snake, never take any chances. ”
Saw-scaled vipers usually attack our lower limbs. So if you live in or visit India, Sri Lanka or any Middle Eastern country, wear thick footwear when out in the wild. Also, if you hear a saw-like sound, the snake is rubbing its scales and warning you of imminent danger. Back away. And don’t make sudden movements.

Number 2: A SuperMax prison

United States Prison Florence ADMAX, sometimes called ADX, is one of the most impenetrable prisons in the world. Located near the Rocky Mountains, it’s called “The Alcatraz of the Rockies.” Escaping is impossible. You will be confined to a tiny cell for 23 hours each day. Seeing daylight will become your greatest joy for the rest of your life. Here, your biggest danger will be you. Since opening in 1994, at least six inmates have died by suicide. Solitary confinement survivors like Shujaa Graham agree that the most important thing is to stay sane. He was wrongfully convicted and sent to death row at San Quentin Prison. Although his days were numbered, he got up every day at 5 a.m. to exercise, shower and meditate. That routine kept him alive until 1981, when he was finally exonerated and released.

Number 1: A horse attack

You certainly have a taste for dangerous animals. These beautiful stallions are not commonly associated with deadly attacks, but a horse’s kick can deliver more than 8,896 Newtons (2,000 lbf) to your body. You could die almost immediately if a horse kicks you in the chest or head. Horses are vigilant and defensive animals, so it’s not surprising that more than 100,000 horse-related accidents are reported each year in the United States. Don’t be overconfident and watch for these warning signs. Even if you’re familiar with the horse, don’t approach it from behind or unexpectedly. Instead, call its name and walk slowly toward the horse. Make sure the animal can see you at all times and knows you’re not a threat. If it stamps on the ground or moves its tail quickly, back away. Surprising a horse could easily get you killed.
Well, after a year like 2022, I bet you’re looking forward to your next vacation.
