Restore normal body temperature as soon as possible. Place the torso in warm
water (37.7 - 43.3 ° C). Care must be taken in this case, since immersion in
the warm water of the whole body can cause shock and cardiac arrest. In
conditions of survival, the victim is best placed in a sleeping bag with
someone who has a normal temperature. Ideally, if both of them are completely
without clothes. Take action as quickly as possible and, if the person is
conscious, start giving him a hot sweet liquid. After the temperature of the
victim is normalized, do not immediately remove it from the heat source,
because it can again drop the temperature. Give him the opportunity to restore
the heat reserve in the body and, if necessary, continue to drink it with hot
drinks.
Preventive
action. Do not allow a long stay in the cold without food, hot drinks or other
heat sources and do not expose yourself to danger if you are wet and especially
if you are in the wind.

frostbite or the formation of ice crystals in the cells of the tissue. This usually
occurs when the temperature is below -12 ° C, but can also be at 0 ° C when
there is a factor in the weather sharpness factor or when the victim is wet.
Since the cold has an anesthetic effect, the victim may not immediately notice
frostbite. Usually frostbitten there are those parts of the body that are least
protected, namely the face, nose, ears, hands and feet. The first signs are
dull, whitish skin color, then the formation of vesicles, the death of some
skin cells and subcutaneous tissue.

not immerse the affected area in hot water or keep it near a fire. Instead, use
body heat.
If a
person experiences severe pain, use morphine.
Serious
cases of frostbite with deep tissue damage should be treated by health
professionals.
Warnings
and Precautions

not wear tight clothing that obstructs blood circulation and increases the risk
of frostbite.

of the tree, carving out the cracks in it. Rubbing charcoal in the skin around
the eyes will help reduce the impact of bright sunlight on the eyes.

Amazing places in Africa
Amazing places in Africa
Abu Simbel
On
the Nubian land of Egypt , there is a unique monument of the past - the
ancient Egyptian temples of Abu Simbel carved
into the rock. They are located south of the city of Aswan , at a distance of 280 km .
The Great
Temple
Two
pairs of gigantic figures of Ramses II foreshadow the entrance to the Great Temple .
The 20-meter-tall statues of the king are depicted sitting on the throne with
their backs to the rock and dressed in ceremonial robes, on the head - the
double crown of the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt .
Above the facade are 22 seated baboons, 2.5 meters high. Between
the central colossuses of the king in the cave is cut down the statue of the
sun god Ra with the head of a falcon. At the feet of the giant figures of the
king you can see relatively small statues of his family members: the mother of
the pharaoh, his wife, sons and daughters.
The
entrance to the temple leads to a large gloomy hall 18 meters long and about 17 meters wide. The
central part of the hall is occupied by stone columns with the image of the
pharaoh in the image of the god Osiris. The ceiling is decorated with drawings
of the vultures of the goddess Nehbet (patroness of Upper
Egypt ), on the sides - stars. The walls of the hall are covered
with paintings, depicting the military campaigns of Ramses II, and also the
poem of the court poet Pentaur is written.
Then
there are three more rectangular halls, in which not everyone was allowed to
enter. If the first large hall could attend all, then the second, decorated
with images of the meeting of the pharaoh with the gods, - only people of noble
blood, the third hall - sanctuary - only for the priests. In the furthest
fourth hall, where the statues of the gods - Ptah, Amon-Ra, Harmakhs, and the
statue of Ramses II - were located, only the ruler and his entourage could
enter.
In
addition to the main halls in the temple, rooms were provided for the storage
of gifts that Nubians brought on public holidays.

10 survival skills that need to be trained by the child!
10 survival skills that need to be trained by
the child!
Orientation on the
ground
Basic survival skill. The child should
understand what a compass and map is. And also be able to navigate them. Also
should know about the main landmarks of the area in which it is located -
rivers, mountains, lakes, main roads. Is it difficult? No. Already something,
and on the cards in the strategic games, the kids are perfectly oriented, and
here the same principle plus a minimum of additional knowledge.
First aid
Perhaps the most popular reason why a child was
left alone in the forest - something happened to the adults. Bruising, fracture
or loss of consciousness, a sudden attack of the disease. If the child knows
the basic rules of first aid, he will not only be able to save his life, but
also, perhaps, yours.
The main difficulty here is to learn not to
panic, but to act quickly and clearly. To practice skills before automatism, so
that the child knew exactly that if this is what happened - you need to take or
give out such and such tablets. That if someone broke his arm, then you need to
build a tire. Can the child remember this? Of course, it can - in games,
algorithms are necessary and it is more difficult to remember and apply.
Meeting with wild
animals
One of the possible causes of injury and
incapacity of parents – are wild animals or snakes. Most often - it's snakes.
Therefore, the child must clearly understand that this crawling garbage is
better to avoid, rather than throw stones or sticks into it. Also, it is
worthwhile explaining to the child the danger of ticks and how to get rid of
them. This survival skill will surely come in handy.
Extraction of fire
If staying in the open area is delayed, the
child will have to build a fire for himself and for you (you are considered to
be conditionally alive, but absolutely incompetent). And yes, it's extremely
difficult. Even a skilful survivor does not always breed a bonfire without
matches, what can we say about the child. Therefore, yes, teach him the basic
and most simple methods of obtaining fire, but put in his pocket a flint or a
full-fledged inviolable stock. Provided, of course, which the child understands
what it is, why it is needed and how it works.
Preparation of a
campfire
Teach your child how to properly build a
bonfire, which branches to use for this and where they can in principle be
found. After all, even successfully divining the fire, the child can stupidly
not cope with his support without adequate knowledge. Also, it would be
superfluous to tell about two basic principles - either the bonfire burns hot (for
cooking), or long (for overnight and warming). This survival skill can be
critical if the incident occurred in the autumn or winter and the immediate
survival of all the participants in the incident depends on the presence of the
fire.
Shelter construction
Logically continues our situation. The animals
have left, the first aid has been rendered, the fire has somehow been divorced
and the night is approaching. We need to build some shelter in case of rain. It
is hardly rational to teach a child to use a knife or an ax at such a young
age, but without them something simple can be built. Any one-story hut with a
litter bed (hi, ticks, but you already know how to fight). Also an important
part of this survival skill knows where the shelter can be put, and where it's
dangerous.
Extraction of water
Because of the extreme situation, the body
begins to lose significantly more fluid than normal. Therefore, the search for
water and water treatment is an extremely important survival skill. The child
should know what water can be drunk, which one should be boiled beforehand, and
which one should be ignored altogether. For this, we will have to explain in
detail about microbes, parasites and poisoning. And do not be afraid that the
children will not understand - if it's normal to explain, and not just say
"do it just like that" - it's a good idea what's what. It is also not
bad to teach him the simplest way to extract water with the help of
condensation.
Finding a Fodder
Honestly, this survival skill is extremely
useful, but also very dangerous. Even an experienced survivor does not always
correctly determine what is possible and what is not. And the child's critical
thinking is much less, so the instruction follows the simplest principles.
Berries, which certainly do not mix with poisonous, the basics of fishing,
edible roots, which again, with nothing can be confused - that's what the child
should know.
Physical training
Perhaps, the most important skill of survival,
as a child should be physically able to do what you teach him. And for this you
need to instill in your child a love of sport and training. And no, forcibly
having written into the karate section, you will not plant it. But a personal
example - very much so. Seriously, you should be an example for your child to
follow in everything - then there will be no problems with training. The child
will want to be as steep as the folder, and not as the invented characters of
computer games and movies.
Psychological training
Okay, the child knows everything, can by heart
list the edible roots in the nearby forests, can wander for hours on the rough
terrain. Now it's up to practice. After all, the best way to survive in an
extreme situation is to do what you know at the level of automatism. Therefore,
practice, practice and practice again. And, of course, a positive personal
example.
The main thing that must be learned: your child
is not an infantile idiot who does not understand what is going on around him.
He has your genes, so in your power to help him realize his potential. Yes, it
will be difficult. But when you succeed, the child will thank you. And not only
for an interesting and rich childhood, but also for the fact that you helped
him become a real man.
