Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning. Translations: – Norsk 汉语 - tiếng Việt – Español – Italiano - Français – Magyar - Português – română – Deutsch – Suomi – Svenska - Čeština – Русско -Íslenska – Nederlands – Audio Version The new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach.

“I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other and she had screamed but now they were just standing, neck-deep on the sand bar. “We’re fine, what is he doing?” She asked, a little annoyed. How did this captain know – from fifty feet away – what the father couldn’t recognize from just ten? The Instinctive Drowning Response – so named by Francesco A. Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. (Source: On Scene Magazine: Fall 2006 (page 14))

Survival: Hunting, Fishing & Trapping. Survival - Shelter. Survival - Water. The Free Online Survival Guide. Wilderness Survival & Prepping. Air Force Survival Training Manual – Free Download. Given that there are so many survival manuals out there, it’s hard to know which ones are worth having in your survival library. Well, if there’s one survival manual that I highly recommend it is the Air Force Survival Training manual. The Air Force Survival Training manual (specifically the AFR-64) is, in my opinion, the cream of the crop. In fact, many of the numerous commercial and military books and manuals are based off of this manual (much of which which is copied verbatim — both the words and text!). I feel it is much better than the Army Survival Manual (FM 3-05.70) and even has a slight edge over Wiseman’s SAS Survival Handbook (which is also excellent).
