The people who walk away from catastrophes all have a few things in common. Now you can follow their lead. To complete this How-To you will need: Preparedness Speed Drills Neighborliness Step 1: Have drills Hold drills with your family for fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other disasters until the repetition locks the life-saving behavior into their brain. People react best in an emergency if they're trained to go on automatic pilot. Tip: When flying, always listen to the flight attendant's instructions and read the safety card in your seat pocket, no matter how many times you've heard it all before. Step 2: Be safe, not sorry Don't waste time debating whether the building is really on fire or not. Get out at the first sign of danger, and ask questions later. Tip: If you see people frozen with fear, yell at them. This is what flight attendants are trained to do to get shocked passengers to leave a burning plane. Step 3: Hurry up! For heaven's sake, hurry up! Amazingly, people are inclined to dawdle during an emergency, rather than acting as quickly as possible. Step 4: Leave everything behind Leave everything behind. The few seconds you took to grab your iPhone could be the few seconds that cost you your life. Step 5: Befriend your neighbors Get to know your neighbors. That's who will be next to you when a catastrophe strikes. Thanks for watching How To Increase Your Odds Of Surviving a Disaster!

Using ex-SAS men 'SAS Survival Secrets: Sabre Squadron' is a vivid and detailed recreation of a typical mission calling upon all four Troops of the Squadron (air, boat, mobility and mountain). The Squadron capture and extract a wanted war criminal from his residence in a hostile country. Eddie Stone and his team also revealed the extraordinary qualities every SAS soldier must possess by re-enacting the rigorous Regiment selection and training regime, where more than 75 out of 100 of the British Army's best men fail In SAS Survival Secrets - Guardians Against Terror Eddie and ex-SAS men provided a vividly detailed recreation of a typical close protection teams mission. A four man SAS team is assigned to protect an uncooperative British minister on a foreign state visit. At first the team's meticulous planning pays off, but they are overruled on security by local forces. When the Minister and foreign leaders are kidnapped and held hostage, the team must don their 'Black Kit' and launch a rescue mission. On the mission Eddie Stone is joined by John McAleese, MM, a real life veteran of the Iranian Embassy assault team (the first man on the balcony who over did the charge to blow an entry point through the window) and a man with over twenty years of experience of providing close protection services to both the British PM and members of Royalty. Together they revealed both the secrets of successful Close Protection and the SAS techniques for hostage rescue as part of 'The Team' (CRW). Again using ex-SAS men Eddie used SAS Survival Secrets: Behind Enemy Lines, for the BBC, to portray a vivid and detailed recreation of a typical mission. Inserted by boat, a four man patrol set up an offensive OP Observation Post close to an enemy base. Their mission: to gather intelligence and to `take out` a maverick General. After a daring sniper attack, the team break for their extraction point but experience almost constant close contacts with enemy forces under various scenarios. As casualties mount, escape seems almost impossible. SAS veteran Eddie Stone explains his patrol`s weaponry, combat options, evasion and survival tactics and dealing with TQ's. From surviving interrogation to emergency battlefield medicine, Eddie provided the closest insight yet into what it`s like to be an SAS man in a fighting patrol trying to survive behind enemy lines. Eddie has also given background assistance on a number of projects including SAS the real story.
