In the modern world, there are no special problems for any person to get to any corner of the world, if only money and desire beat him. It could be a cruise, a trip, or even a job. Any part of the planet can be reached with the help of modern means of transportation: by car, train, ship or airliner. There are a lot of opportunities.
At the same time, no one can be insured against unforeseen unpleasant accidents. That is why each person can be completely alone in the wild.
It is not a secret for anyone that almost every day all kinds of natural disasters and catastrophes happen in the world: the wreck of airliners and ships, floods and earthquakes, accidents in campaigns and expeditions. Most tragic outcomes could well have been avoided if people had been prepared for such situations. Of course, getting ready for the trip, regardless of whether it is a short trip or a long trip, each person takes along the necessary things, a first aid kit and food. But, as a rule, when collecting things, no one expects to be in an emergency. Moreover, not every person knows how to provide first aid.
Perhaps only the military, firefighters, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and medicine know more than others about emergency situations and, if necessary, can not get confused and take all the necessary measures. And what about the rest? Usually people are not ready for this kind of situation. But not everywhere and not always there is a person nearby who can help. That is why in extreme situations you need to rely exclusively on yourself. In such cases, every second counts. A lot depends on the correct behavior. A person can be saved if he knows exactly what to do and what not to do in such situations. The most important thing is to control yourself, not to lose self-control. This will serve as a kind of immunity to an emergency, and ultimately help save lives.
According to some scientific studies, the defensive reaction of Europeans is much less than that of representatives of the Slavic peoples. Undoubtedly, you can learn everything in life. You can study special literature, go to certain survival classes. But at the same time, it is very important to understand that no one can guarantee that in real life everything will be as easy and simple as in theory. A person is not given to foresee future events, so it will not be possible to rehearse his own actions in advance. Therefore, it is very important to learn how to make the most of your knowledge and skills in an emergency.
As a rule, in an extreme situation, a person is very limited in time, so there is absolutely no time to think in such cases. Therefore, you need to quickly solve the problems that have arisen, because life will depend on it. There is no correct instruction or recipe for solving a problem.
From the very first moments of an emergency, it is very important not to panic and not get lost, because it is at the initial stage that a lot can be done that will help in the end to be saved. First of all, it is necessary to eliminate the threat to life, because the suffering that causes pain, deprives a person of the ability to think and act correctly and adequately, reduce all efforts to zero. For a while, only a very strong will can allow one to forget about pain. If a person is very tired, this can weaken the will, lull vigilance, and distract attention.
During preliminary preparation for an extreme situation, it is necessary to study in maximum detail not only possible options for behavior, but also methods and ways of providing first aid and prevention of avoiding dangerous situations. In general, the very concept of "prevention" consists of a wide range of methods and recommendations that each person should know and be able to apply in practice. Prevention occupies a leading place in such industries as fire safety, anti-crime protection, and medicine.

From all of the above, a logical conclusion suggests itself that it is better not to go anywhere and not to interfere in anything in order to avoid an extreme situation. But this is not at all the case. You just need to be well prepared for emergency situations and possible dangers. It is worth remembering about a sense of proportion, being able to adequately act correctly, and not be brave. This includes any survival technique.
According to the outstanding traveler and a great specialist in the field of survival, Jacek Paokevich, there are several basic rules: you need to be able to foresee the danger, avoid it if possible and act decisively if necessary. In general, there are many extreme situations that can occur both in nature and in a city. But for all of them, there are basic provisions that will help save life. Regardless of whether it is a natural anomaly, criminal history, disaster or accident, professionals recommend maintaining composure, self-control and calmness. Panic can only make the situation worse. First of all, you need to do everything possible to help yourself, but if this does not work out, you need to alleviate your condition before the arrival of the rescuers.
Many films have been filmed about all sorts of cataclysms and tragedies, in which the heroes survived without the help of magic and magic, relying solely on their own strengths. These are real robinsons who spent days, weeks and even months on uninhabited islands, in deserts, in the mountains and even in the air. Most of these films are based on real events. And they all testify that there is no limit to human capabilities. In extreme situations, both adults and children on a subconscious level remember how their ancestors survived, who did not even have matches and knives.
Several years ago, the screens out the picture "Life of Pi", which tells about the boy Pi Patel, who after a shipwreck was left alone with the elements. All his relatives were killed. Together with him, a zebra, a tiger and an orangutan were in the boat. Despite the fact that the boat drifts in the middle of the endless ocean waters, the boy does not lose heart, he has learned to catch turtles and fish, to desalinate the water. In addition, Pi keeps a diary, because he knows for sure that sooner or later he will be able to swim somewhere.
Another film about the strength of will and courage that the protagonist showed is called "127 Hours". This is a magnificent painting that recreates the story of a climber named Aaron Ralston. During the ascent to the top, his hand is clamped in a crevice by a huge stone. The man is forced to amputate his arm in order to escape. This film is not just an example of a good movie, it is also a great reminder of the elementary precautions - you should always tell your friends where you are going to, and take with you enough food and water. Finally, this is an example of extraordinary resilience and incredible courage of man.
In the distant 1971, the film "Bypass" was released by the master of the mysterious atmosphere and strange plots Nicholas Rogue. In this picture, a father abandoned his own children, a boy and a girl, to their fate in the arid Australian desert. The children fortunately met an Aboriginal teenager who is also trying to survive on his own. It was not just children who met - two completely different cultures met, and only together they are able to escape.
In the movie "Deliverance", two business friends decided to spend a vacation on a river in the US state of Georgia. But on their own skin, they had to experience that the most ordinary river can be much more dangerous than the Amazon. In addition to nature, the heroes should be afraid of the local natives, who are not distinguished by their hospitality.
Fyodor Khitruk managed in his film "The Island" to fit all the problems of the modern world into a short nine-minute story about a man who ended up on the island. He is surrounded by journalists, warships are sailing past him, oilmen are drilling a well on a small piece of land, but no one wants to help him get to the civilized world. And only the same Robinson, like him, picks him up on the boat, and they sail away together.
Another picture based on real events is "Survive". Its plot is notable for the fact that it really inspires horror. The Uruguay national rugby team, whose members were victims of a plane crash in the Andes, survive by all available and sometimes terrible ways, in particular, feeding on the flesh of the dead passengers, among whom were their friends.
But the film "Rogue" by Robert Zemeckis is probably the most remembered by the audience among other Defoe adaptations. The hero of the film, who sang songs near his first fire and talked to the Wilson ball, took a worthy place among modern Robinsons, and so far no one can surpass him.
Lost in the Snows, directed by Canadian director Charles Martin Smith, follows a pilot supplying food to distant northern settlements. One day he was asked to take a sick Eskimo girl on a return flight to take her to the hospital. The pilot reluctantly agrees, but the plane crashes and falls in the middle of the tundra. The girl, who, it would seem, should become a burden, actually saves the pilot from imminent death, thanks to her skills in surviving in the harsh conditions of the wild. For his salvation, a man pays her with sincere respect and friendship.
No less realistic and even terrible is Adam Green's Frozen. The heroes of the picture are stuck on one of the ski lifts in the ski resort. There is nowhere to wait for help for the next five days, the air temperature is gradually dropping, and hungry wolves are scouring below - all this is unlikely to cause positive emotions about the rest in the mountains. The film captures from the first minutes with a fascinating and inventive plot, and looks like a horror film.
Even a whole series was shot about disasters and methods of survival, which riveted the attention of viewers to the screens for six whole seasons. It is called "Staying Alive". In the first few seasons, while the writers were still trying to do something worthy, you could see more or less realistic scenes of survival on a desert island. Unfortunately, in recent seasons, the whole meaning has been lost.
Thus, both real life and cinema prove that even in the most hopeless situations at first glance, when it seems that nothing can be done and only death awaits in front, you should never give up. We need to try to do something, and who knows, maybe this will be salvation …
