Survival Facts:
- Your body loses heat 25 times faster in water than it does in air
- Snow is a good insulator. It is filled with loads of tiny air bubbles which trap your body heat
- Your body loses heat much faster through the ground than it does to the air so there is an old saying that when sleeping on the ground, a blanket underneath is worth two on top
- You can live 3 weeks without food but only 3 days without water
- Your body burns twice as many calories when you are freezing cold and wet
- Insects and bugs contain more protein then Beef, Fish or Chicken and are an excellent survival food
