Urban Survival Part 1

What is Urban Survival? Part 1

So when most people think about disasters they most likely associate Fema and the Red Cross. Others may stumble across wiki articles on survival, survival websites, survival blogs, simple search results, etc. Don’t misunderstand, these may be good resources or starting places and you should consider reviewing them. Just remember that you can know anything but if you don’t practice that knowledge could be useless.

Boiled down to the basics for Urban Survival

  • Be aware
  • Know your surroundings
    • Threats and/or Dangers (Environmental, Structural, People)

What is Wilderness Survival?

A Wiki entry for Survival Skills states that “Survival skills are techniques a person may use in a dangerous situation”. Dared to Survive says that Wilderness Survival is the ability to survive in the wilderness throughout various seasons and weather conditions.

People are most likely to use these skills when they have found themselves to be lost or injured in the wilderness.

  • 3 minutes without air

What is Dared to Survive?

MickGinger & MrRedBeard on the OT
MickGinger & MrRedBeard on the OT

This is an almost comical web show on Urban and Wilderness Survival, where we take your survival dares and put them to the test. We’re going to go out and probably do it wrong and both learn from it and improve on our techniques. We’re going to show you that you can’t always trust what you see on TV and that it isn’t as easy as it looks. Along the way we will take dares and/or suggestions from viewers and perform them on camera for you.

 

Promo for the We’re Alive Fan Cast

Mick and Mr. RedBeard begin their coverage of the Podio Drama “We’re Alive” on August 29th, 2013.  We will have a new show out every Thursday following a new release.
