Study Notes
Warmth Providing Materials
- Wool retains warmth even when wet, making it a preferred material for cold weather clothing.
- Cotton does not provide warmth when wet, and polypropylene and nylon also do not offer the same insulation properties.
Navigational Concepts
- True North and Magnetic North differ, with the gap termed declination.
- Declination is important for accurate navigation using a compass.
Compass Fundamentals
- A compass is designed to point towards Magnetic North, not True North or the North Pole.
Survival Priorities
- In survival situations, the priorities are shelter, fire, and signaling for help.
- Signaling is crucial for attracting attention when lost.
Seeking Shelter
- When lost, the first step should be to look for natural shelters rather than gathering materials or searching for food.
Emergency Distress Signals
- The international emergency signal for distress is repeating any signal three times, which serves to alert rescuers.
Outdoor Fatalities
- Hypothermia is the leading cause of outdoor fatalities, highlighting the importance of staying dry and warm.
Treating Heat Stroke
- Immediate medical attention by getting the victim to a hospital is critical for heat stroke treatment, as it can be life-threatening.
Burn Treatment
- For first-degree and second-degree burns with closed blisters, the correct response is to immerse the affected area in cold water to cool and soothe the skin.
