Science of Survival:Staying put

If your car breaks down in a remote location: Stay with your vehicle.

Mechanical failure can strike anywhere. And if you got stuck in the bush you can’t always rely on technology to bail you out.

“Do you copy? Ah, nothing doing, so we're stuck in the bush. Shall I stay or shall I go and look for civilization wherever that may be. Rule one: you must stay with your vehicle.”

Phil is a professional. He’s brought water with him. But if you don’t have water, it’s essential you know what to do.

“I've heard stories of people drinking from their radiators. These engine coolants contain chemicals that will stop metal corrosion. But if you drink that, they will corrode you. If I was in an enclosed 4x4, and it was night time, I would get into the vehicle, close the door, wind up the windows and then hopefully by the morning I would have enough condensation built up for me to drink. Unfortunately, I’m in an opened vehicle, the mid-day sun is out, it’s like a micro-wave oven in here, and I’m starting to dehydrate. But don’t panic, you probably won't die out here without water for two days.”

Your 4x4 may be going nowhere, but parts of it can still be very useful. Not very environmentally friendly, and you’d better make sure you don’t set fire to your vehicle or the dries of any scrub. But we are tracking survival a smoking tire can be seen miles away. The number one rule for travelers who are not familiar with the Savannah is stay with your vehicle. But what if you are certain that no one will be coming to find you, if you don’t wanna die, you have to find something to drink.

Phil is going to show us where to find water in this arid land, and he’ll show you he can survive with almost nothing. He’s leaving his GPS and rifle behind.

“People have lived in this kind of area for thousands of years without these things, and today we are gonna show you how to do the same.” Setting off alone in the Savannah could be a death sentence for anyone without Phil's expertise as a tracker.

如果你的车在荒郊野外抛锚，一定不要离开车辆。

随时随地有可能发生机械故障。如果你被困于丛林中，不能仅仅依靠技术求生。

“你现在在抄写吗？好的，什么都没有做，我们被困在丛林中了。我应该待在原地还是抛弃车辆去找人呢？第一条原则：一定要跟车辆在一起。”

Phil是一位专业人员。他随身带了一些水。但是如果你没有水，你必须知道怎样做。

“我曾经听说过有人饮用散热器里的水。这些引擎冷冻剂里含有一些防止金属腐蚀的化学物质。但是如果你饮用这些水的话，你的身体会受到腐蚀。如果我处在一个密闭的4*4的空间里，而且是在夜间，我会进入车辆里边，关闭门窗，这样到天亮就有希望获得足够的饮用水。不幸的是，我是待在一辆敞篷车里，中午的阳光非常炽热，就好象身处微波炉中，我开始脱水。但是不要慌，如果两天之内你可以得到水的话，你一定可以逃生。”

你的车辆可能去不到任何地方，但是其中一些部分还是有用的。这对环境不是很好，必须确保不要点燃你的车辆或者任何部件。但是点燃轮胎，我们可以在几英里之外追踪到烟火。对于不熟悉大草原的旅行者来说，首要的原则就是一定要和车辆待在一起。但是如果你确定不会有人来救你，如果你不想死，你必须寻找一些饮用水。

Phil将向我们展示怎样在荒原上寻找水源，同时他将会向我们展示，他可以在几乎没有任何东西的情况下生存下来。他丢掉了自己的GPS和来复枪。

“人们在没有这些东西的情况下在荒原上生存了数千年，今天我们会教给大家我们如何做到这一点。”如果没有Phil的专业意见作为向导，任何人被独自留在大草原上都无异于被判死刑。(参考翻译：QIHUI QQ ：21767317)
