I took a semester of first aid training in high school and one of the chief things I remember our teacher telling us was never to try removing an impaling object from an injury - let the pros IE, a surgeon handle it because it’s holding blood. I think of him telling us that every time I see a scene where someone pulls a sharp object of themselves or someone else. He was a great teacher too - funny dude, made the class interesting but still taught us a lot.

I reckon the only time you'd want to pull that kind of thing out is if you knew there was no medical help coming, you had a way to control the bleeding, and you think you have a better shot with an open wound versus an infection from keeping it in. Your body really doesn't like foreign objects in it. When I had to have my nose packed for bleeding I was actually given pills to take to stop toxic shock from the packing thing because it needed to be in a few days.

We were taught the bamboo method for starting a fire in boy scouts in the Philippines. It was so effective that we were not allowed to use it for our wilderness survival merit badge. Tom Hanks gets it right

In the tree climbing scene, if you see a snake with its mouth open and fangs exposed, you have zero time to analyze whether its is a venomous snake or a constrictor. You freak out and fall either way, expecting the former.

Noticed a really funny mistake in Romancing the Stone a couple of years ago, watching it for the umpteenth time: watch closely when Douglas hits the rock cliff while swinging on the vine - you can see it flex because it’s made of rubber.

I used to go on a lot of adventures with one particular buddy of mine. crazy multi day canoe trips stealth camping wherever we could find or like we would would see a little island on a river/lake and decide we were going to camp there. We are both pretty capable out in the woods but we sort of made a good team because he was an excellent navigator (not my strongest area) and I was a much better planner and had better necessary gear and better at logistics of a trip. My only complaint is this guy could not leave a snake alone… any snake we came across he would want to try to handle it and it drove me crazy…. there were times where we had hiked 5+ hours into the middle of nowhere in some remote swampy area and he is messing with a poisonous snake. I’m like think about this: if you get bit I am now going to have to try and get you out of here… we have no phone signal and you are going to have to do the hike we just did to even get to a point we could possibly get medical attention. Instead of remaining calm and lowering your heart rate you will be hiking and navigating us back out of here.

Probably the most tens i’ve ever seen given out from these experts!

Growing up fishing with leaches, I find it funny that people think all leaches are like that. The ones used for fishing in are not bloodsuckers. There is a very distinct difference when you happen to get one with your leaches and fish won't bite on them.

Castaway is phenomenal.

Sure, it's not going to be that easy to spear a fish, but in rivers I've caught a fish with my bare hands, and I've seen fish caught with sticks, bows, machetes, and pistols. It can absolutely be done and sometimes you just get lucky too.
