    The rule of 3's some call(and I concur) is better called the rule of 4s and that helps tie it to the 4 Essentials of Surviva.
    You can live 3-4 mintues without air. 3-4 hours without shelter(depending on conditions this can be as little as 1 hour and as much as 2 days.) 3-4 days without water(again depending on conditions) In the extreme of the desert heat exhaustion which is linked to dehydration can kill you in a day. And 3-4 weeks without food. When we call it trhe Rule of 3s or of 4s they are "rules of thumb" ie guidelines. to help us prioritize and think before we act. I am of the school that is is bever ok to drink straight urines but if you are in a dry environ and have set up a solar still urine distilled in it will be safe to drink. I may have the wrong info but I was always told within more or less normal conditions for the seasons 2 - 4 quarts of water are required. In the extremes this would change of course they hotter and dryer the clime the more water will be need. I am a chef and I have drank a gallon of water every two hours in a 127 degree kitchen and never urinate as all the water I drink is sweated out. I have to drink 3 gallons every two hours to stay hydrated and allow my kidneys to purge the toxins they filter. So it depends on conditions. 65 degrees, light activity, slight breeze, and partly cloudy and you can get by with a gallon or less. 90 or hotter and every ten degrees will probably add a quart per hour exposed. Starting a fire without matches requires you to have everything you need to get the fire going and then keep it fueled through the night ready before you ever attempt to start. In cooking we call this mise en place (everything in place) before the start. Once tinder, kindling and larger fuel are gathered I can start a fire with a spark, with friction and with solar energy with a magnifying glass or a soda can bottom that has been polished. Survival kits should have components that help you meet the four essentials to Survival. Air is there unless underwater so you need a component that is usable as shelter or will aid in building one. one that helps male fire, one that help get water and one that helps get food and also there should be a first aid component. The most important component to survival is mental attitude. Referred to in most literature as the Phychology of survival. Keeping calm and thinking yourself through the problems and keeping busy and keeping a positive outlook and establishing plans, and in fact the planning ahead for the possible all stem from the proper mental state. My favorite teacher is experience, my favorite knife is actually three knives all carried in the field at once. A 4 - 7 inch fixed balde all purpose/camp knife, a Swiss Army Farmer model, a multitool and if you want to include it as a knife a fourth an axe or machete. Bith Survivorman and Man vs Wild leave too much out, do things not quite right, take unneccassary risks etc. So I don't have a favorite TV show.

    Ok I'm better at this now. 1) you can only survive 3 minutes of panic, 3 minutes of severe bleeding, 3 hours of really hot or cold 3 three days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Something close to that.
    2)Food water shelter fire
    3)My mlitary Feild manual says that you should never drink urine.
    4)Hmmmm 1 to 2 quarts I think.
    5)Well like I said before I can use my magnesium block. I've cut open .22 shells and burn't the powder with a spark from my magnesium. It would work to start a fire (Although I haven't tried it yet) And I've started small fires with a magnifying glass, but never tried it in the woods
    6)Something that can start a fire, something to help you muild a shelter, something to purify water, and something to signal for help.
    7)The most important component of survival is your brain, and cleverness
    8) I have no survival teacher, but I have tons of knives! And my favorite..well actually favortes are my USMC Ka-bar, and my Ka-bar Kukri. Favorite Tv show is Prison Break.
    Well I did a heck of a lot better this time, then I did last time. And incase someone is thinking it, I didn't cheat off others answers.

    В мире спортивных ставок существует множество инструментов и стратегий, которые могут помочь как новичкам, так и опытным беттерам улучшить свои результаты. Одним из самых важных аспектов ставок является понимание коэффициентов и маржи букмекеров.

    Часто начинающие игроки не осознают, как маржа влияет на их потенциальный выигрыш. Чем выше маржа букмекера, тем меньше шансов у беттера получить прибыль. В этом контексте полезно использовать различные ресурсы, которые помогают в оценке коэффициентов и маржи. Например, при помощи калькулятора маржи можно быстро рассчитать, насколько выгодны выбранные вами ставки.

    Не менее важно обращать внимание на аналитические инструменты, такие как статистика команд, форма игроков и другие факторы, которые могут повлиять на исход события. Подобные данные, в сочетании с правильными стратегиями, могут значительно повысить вероятность удачной ставки.

    Оптимальная стратегия — это не только выбор событий, но и управление банкроллом. Создание четкого плана ставок и следование ему поможет избежать эмоциональных решений, которые нередко приводят к поражениям.

    Надеюсь, что эти советы и рекомендации помогут вам в ваших спортивных ставках! Делитесь своими мнениями и опытом, возможно, у вас есть свои проверенные методы и инструменты.

    В мире спортивных ставок существует множество инструментов и стратегий, которые могут помочь бетторам сделать более обоснованный выбор. Одним из ключевых моментов является понимание маржи букмекеров, которая может значительно влиять на ваши шансы на успех.

    Зная, как работает маржа, можно более осознанно подходить к своим ставкам. Некоторые бетторы используют специальные калькуляторы, которые помогают рассчитывать, какая маржа заложена в коэффициенты. *то дает возможность оценить, насколько выгодна линия и стоит ли на нее ставить. Например, на сайте можно найти удобный калькулятор, который упрощает этот процесс.

    Кроме того, стоит рассмотреть стратегии, связанные с анализом статистики и формой команд. Использование аналитических данных о предыдущих встречах, травмах игроков и других факторах может заметно повысить вероятность успешного исхода. Однако не забывайте, что даже самые продуманные стратегии не гарантируют выигрыш, и важно подходить к ставкам с умом и терпением.

    Также немаловажным аспектом является управление банкроллом. Установите лимиты и придерживайтесь их, чтобы не потерять контроль над своими финансами. *то особенно важно в длительной перспективе, когда даже с правильными инструментами и стратегиями могут быть как удачные, так и неудачные дни.

    В заключение, использование различных инструментов и стратегий, таких как калькуляторы маржи, может существенно улучшить ваш опыт в ставках на спорт. Настоятельно рекомендую экспериментировать с разными подходами и находить то, что работает именно для вас!
