WHISTLE A SURVIVAL TOOL
SURVIVAL SKILLS
WHISTLE A SURVIVAL TOOL
To keep you safe in the wilderness a whistle may be the most important tools.
I carry a whistle at all times on myself. For an easily-carried auditory signalling device, there is nothing better. A whistle blast is not normal: People tend to look in the direction where the noise came from.
Shouting for help, during an emergency, will last as long as your voice does.
Attach whistles to outdoor and everyday gear, so you'll have one if needed.
Screaming, whooping and hollering won’t carry as far as a shrill whistle, and may be mistaken for something other than a call for help.
In an urban situation where everyone is talking and making noise, a whistle can cut through the background din to draw attention in your direction.
Here are some whistle safety rules.
The whistle is not a toy. Never blow the survival whistle for fun, and only use it if you’re lost.
In an Urban or wilderness situation, don’t move around once you think you’re lost.
Stay in one place and blow a series of three blasts. This is the universal distress signal.
After you blow the three blasts, wait awhile, and blow another series. Searchers may be trying to signal back, and you won’t hear them if you blow continually.
If lost in a crowd, stay in one place and blow three blasts on your whistle. Keep doing this regularly until you are found.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Hiking And Trekking?
What Are The Health Benefits Of Hiking And Trekking?
Today more and more people are adopting hiking and trekking as a major outdoor event. The trend of hiking and trekking is increasing in many other parts of the world. But have you ever thought, what are the health benefits of hiking and trekking? Are these outdoor events really beneficial for health? Is hiking or trekking for everyone or has some age bar? Does hiking only has health benefits or are there any psychological benefits too?
These are some questions which quite often strike in our mind. If someone seeks answer to these questions, although most of them are subjective in nature as far as the degree of benefits is concerned, but certainly the response would be positive. Most of the people would immediately say, "Yes there are countless benefits." No doubt, there are many benefits of hiking and trekking ranging from controlling obesity to preventing heart disease to improving the quality of air we breathe.
While many sports activities and games require special equipment or training to get started, the hiking is relatively much simpler and more beneficial than any other exercise. Literally, anyone can put on a pair of shoes along with few necessary gears and equipments and start moving into the woods for a little fresh air—this is called hiking. The scenery, accessibility and diverse nature of hiking trails make this heart-healthy pastime attractive for people of all ages, fitness levels and income brackets. Moreover, except few points, hiking and trekking don’t require any special expertise and skills.
Hiking or trekking allows us to maintain our body in good working condition by walking which is really a good exercise. It improves our physical as well as mental health and the list of benefits from hiking and trekking is infinite. Hiking is essentially walking that is considered to be one of the most perfect forms of exercise for your body. You can get a chance to spend some quality time together with the Mother Nature, so it also provides a mental health antidote. Everyone can find trails to suit their physical strengths. And unlike other activities or sports, it is a pursuit that allows people to determine their own limitations.
Many research findings and studies show that hiking is an excellent way to lose extra pounds and improve overall health. To improve overall health, we don’t necessarily need to do heavy and painful workouts, but just a short brisk walk of few minutes can be more than sufficient. According to the American Heart Association, it’s best to walk vigorously for 30 to 60 minutes 3-4 times per week. But even low- to moderate intensity walking can have both short- and long-term benefits. Similarly, According to Walking for Health, people "won’t find a better way to lose weight than walking." The results will be more permanent and pleasurable than any diet or weight loss scheme.
There are many findings that clearly show multiple health benefits of hiking and trekking.
When it comes to enlist the health benefits, then the list may go endless consisting of several mental as well as physical health benefits, such as losing excess pounds, preventing heart disease, decreasing hypertension or high blood pressure, improving and maintaining mental health, slowing the aging process, preventing osteoporosis, improving the quality of the air we breathe, preventing and controlling diabetes, improving arthritis, relieving back pain (which has become an epidemic in the modern contemporary world along with healthy habits for a healthy life i.e. team building skills, positive attitude, kindness, empathy.
At last but not the least, hiking has countless health benefits and the beauty is that it doesn’t cost you much. Moreover, while at hiking you can take other family members and your young children along with you without much difficulty. Indeed, it is a good idea to spend more time with your family and children. For young children, it helps improve their physical stamina and team building skills.
Friends, just go for a hike, and see what we mean. Happy hiking!
