New Years Day

T ODAY IN S URVIVAL H ISTORY

On January 1, 2000, the world survived a potential computer meltdown. Leading up to New Years Eve, many believed that the first moments of the new millennium would mark the moment when the worlds computers failed. Because of a glitch caused by the practice of using two digits to designate a four-digit year, introduced when writing programs, companies and governments were forced to upgrade their computer systems to fix the so-called Y2K bug. People anxiously awaited the stroke of midnight on December 31, 1999, and it was only with the uneventful roll-over to January 1 that fears were finally quelled.

Proper layering is vital to staying warm and dry, especially in mountainous terrain. Wear or carry the following:

1 A first layer of long underwear (preferably polypropylene) to draw moisture off of your skin.

2 A thicker middle layer designed to trap and create warm dead air space, such as a down parka.

3 A breathable outer layer, preferably a jacket, that allows moisture out but not in.

Dry insulation is the key to your survival if you get lost or experience difficulty with the terrain. Once you are wet, it is very difficult to get dry.

1 Construct a shelter.

2 Melt snow and ice to make drinkable water.

3 Cross icebergs to get closer to land.

Test the strength of the ice by pressing lightly with a foot, then adding your weight.

Do not try to reach across icebergs.

4 Catch fish and seabirds.

Construct a fishing rod with anything available (ski pole, walking stick, spear). Seabirds can be killed with ice balls.

5 Look for seals.

You may be able to steal fish from seals. Only consider killing a seal (with a club or homemade spear to the skull) for food if your life is at risk. To make fuel from seal blubber, pound the blubber until it liquefies. Roll a small piece of material into a wick, place it in the blubber, and light. Burn moist seal skin to create smoke-signal fires.

1 Step up and into the blow, with your arms held against your body.

You must react quickly and against your instincts, which will tell you to move back and away. By moving closer, you can cut off the power of the blowyour attacker will not have as much momentum. Also, you will avoid extending your arms, which would make your own counterblow less powerful.

2 Push or punch at the blow instead of simply trying to absorb it with your own - photo 7

2 Push or punch at the blow instead of simply trying to absorb it with your own sword.

In a blow aimed at your head, have your sword completely parallel to the ground and above your head. The most effective block is in the center of your sword, not at the end, where you have less leverage. Always move out toward your opponent, even if you are defending and not attacking.

T ODAYS H EROES

On this day in 1785, two men completed the first balloon trip across the English Channel. Jean-Pierre Franois Blanchard, a French inventor, and American doctor John Jeffries made the trip in two and a half hours inside a hydrogen balloon. Along the way, the balloon lost gas and almost fell into the channel, but the pilots kept airborne by throwing overboard all the ballast, clothing, and cargo (except an international mail package). They successfully made the first international airmail delivery when they landed in the Felmores Forest in France.

T ODAY IN S URVIVAL H ISTORY

In 1951, a bird that had been believed extinct since 1615 was rediscovered in Bermuda. After almost 330 years, several pairs of cahows were discovered nesting on an offshore islet in Castle Harbor. During the seventeenth-century colonization of Bermuda, the cahow population was decimated by the introduction of new mammal species. Todays surviving seabirds are under strict protection and are still endangeredtheir current population is estimated at 250. The cahow, a symbol of hope, is the national bird of Bermuda.
