Did you know that staying calm can actually help you survive a dangerous situation? Once, I got caught in a rip current at the beach. Instead of panicking, I remembered to float and swim parallel to the shore—something I’d read about in a life hack post. It saved me. Here are three facts you should know: 1) If you’re choking and alone, use a chair to perform the Heimlich on yourself. 2) If you smell gas, don’t use your phone or turn on lights—leave immediately. 3) If you’re lost, following a stream downhill often leads to civilization. These tips might seem simple, but they could make all the difference. Have you ever used a life hack in an emergency? Share your story below! #LifeHacks #SafetyTips #StaySafe
