Survival: A Heathen's Prospective-How useful are these tips really?

So the question came up: How useful are these survival tips anyway?

The answer to this question is pretty simple; VERY! I don't claim to be a master of survival, but I do pass on the knowledge I gather from various sources. As explained in the first post about survival; having this knowledge can save your life.

For example, lets say you are coming back to Philadelphia from Virginia. You are driving down a dark road in the middle of the night, with no traffic around you. Out of the tree line a 300 lbs Buck hops in front of your car, you hit it at 70 mph, skid off the road and into a tree. The air bags deploy and you sustain minor injuries. Your passengers however are worse off and unconscious. What do you do? What do you have that could be useful in your car? Is your cell phone fully charged? Do you have a signal out there? Was the phone damage? How far were you from the nearest town? These are some of the questions that you need to ask and have answers for if caught in that situation.

I just believe in being prepared, and I want other people to get into that mind frame. Hope for the best but prepare for the worse.
