Summer is rapidly approaching, and it's inevitable that we'll be reading about numerous needless deaths caused by drowning. Survival entails knowing your limitations, avoiding foolish risks, being properly equipped, observing safety precautions, and knowing what to do if you nonetheless find yourself at risk of drowning.
We've talked about Water Safety here before, http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...t=water+safety, but there's a technique we haven't spoken about that's very similiar to one I taught decades ago. DROWNPROOFING.
Drownproofing is a "simple water survival technique that is easy for anyone to learn. With Drownproofing it is possible to survive almost indefinitely with minimal effort. You don't even need to know how to swim."
Here's an excellent description of how it works. And it does! Take a look and give it a try in the relative safety of a swimming pool. (Just make sure you're not alone when you do.) Teach your kids and loved ones about this technique. It could very well save your life or that of a family member or friend.
