Warning: Here’s what you need to know to save your life in any wilderness emergency situation. You plan a nice camping trip with your family or friends. You find a beautiful patch of land to set up your camp, put up your tents, and start enjoying yourselves. But while you’re marveling at the beauty of Mother Nature, she is plotting your demise. Approximately 140 people die in US national parks every year from drowning, falls, heat or cold exposure, and wildlife. Mother Nature is ruthless just as much as she is beautiful, and she doesn’t forgive mistakes. A nice camping or hiking trip can turn deadly in seconds. So much can go wrong when you venture outdoors, and it doesn’t take a lot for you to be thrown into a life-threatening situation. You can slip, fall, break a bone, or stay trapped in the forest...and without anyone to help you. You can have a nice swim in the lake, and get a cramp that will pull you under the surface, and keep you there. You can pick up a beautiful poisonous flower. The weather can change from scorching hot to freezing cold overnight. And we haven’t even started on the dangers of wildlife. Knowing what to do in emergency situations can mean all the difference between life and death. But there is one thing that is just as important as knowing how to act in emergencies: Staying calm under pressure. Yes, nature is deadly, but the biggest enemy you’ll face out there is yourself. You could be the biggest expert on survivalism, but if your brain goes into panic mode when an emergency arises, all the knowledge you have becomes useless. That’s why it’s important to train yourself, not only in survival skills, but also in mental resilience.

First Aid
Summary
First aid training will equip you with the awareness and practical capabilities of how to react if the worst happens. It’s the knowledge of how to help someone that collapses, cuts themselves, gets hurt in an emergency situation, or finds themselves in a medical emergency. Everyone in the world would benefit from studying First Aid. The information provided in this audiobook could literally become a matter of life and death and though we may not always need to use the knowledge, and hopefully we won’t, it’s a great education to have. The First Aid audiobook is suitable for just about everyone. We all hope that we would never have need for first aid knowledge but at some point in life we generally do, whether it is tending to a small graze or cut and knowing how to properly clean and bandage the wound, to recognising the symptoms of a heart attack, how to aid the sufferer, and potentially saving a life. These are skills everyone should have. More specifically the audiobook would benefit those who are around other people as part of their profession, for example, care and social workers.

Going well beyond first aid, this manual describes medical secrets used by an experienced African mission doctor and former assistant professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School. The tips are pragmatic, affordable, and useful for anyone from medics to laypersons but are particularly aimed at people who work and live in remote areas with scarce resources.

Each chapter contains references for further listening and is written in a concise style that maximizes useful information.

Dangers of 5G Technology In a Nutshel
Summary
You may have heard of 5G and want to understand what 5G technology is; and what dangers it poses. There are various reasons 5G technology and networks are being introduced. The primary reason which we are told is that this technology will make life better. Such as, increased data transmission speeds and greater network reliability. But this may not be the ultimate reason. 5G will bring about an exponential increase in the exposure of humans and animals to electromagnetic radiation, and worse of all, at frequencies that have never been seen or used in consumer applications. Since 5G safety studies have not been conducted on either the short - or long-term health effects, we do not yet know the result of the impact of the radiation of 5G on humans. However, it is known that there are no safe EMF radiation levels. The next-generation networks will be implemented without proper testing and no appropriate update to the security standards. Citizens are concerned 5G will require thousands of small cell towers, which will be placed in every nook and cranny of a city for the network to work. Due to receptors in every corner, residents have no choice but to be significantly exposed to electromagnetic fields for extended periods. When considering the health risks of the 5G networks to children, increased exposure to the EMF is of significant concern. While children absorb more radiation, they are even more susceptible to the various health effects as a result of interaction in their bodies and systems that are still developing. In this guide explore why 5G technology could be ushered into society and how millimeter waves can be to be weaponized using the Active Denial System (ADS).
