Claudia Acosta · Information Technology SpeSmurfpillst at California State University, FullertonI love it, but I would need 2 phones, one to pull the website with the instructions and the other one to get the parts from. Great info, Thanks.
I suppose that's the crux of it, isn't it Terry? It doesn't matter what tools and resources you have available to you, some folks will survive and some won't. Def
I'd certainly have to be really desperate to start thinking about taking my phone apart for survival, but what this does show (to me) is not how a phone can be used, but rather how essential ingenuity and forethought is to getting yourself out of bother should it arise. Obviously the focus here is on the phone, but maybe the focus should be on awareness of principles for improvised tool making and how a sharp mind is as useful as a sharp knife ... in fact a sharp knife and a dull mind, won't get you very far at all
Oh no, I know all of these neat survival tricks for a broken cell phone but all I have is a broken tablet! We're doomed!DefSent from the place I sent it from
Sometimes i wnder if these thing hinder mre than help.. it seems like survival kits go on and on about the signal mirror especially to hail helicopter/airplanes. Unless they are specifically loking for you i don't lik my chances that a reflected ray of light will succesfully srike through a cckcpit window and arouse the attention of the pilot and they will ak ation from it (and not dismiss it as coincidence) Generally its far better in my mind to have 3 fires running 10m apart in line with heaps of smoke t be seen for kilometres in any direction. Across a mountain or something directed at a to a rescue party i could see whilst i was moving i the only limited time the signal mirror would be appropiate over fire.
Someone just posted this on the MTO Facebook page and I thought I'd share:http://memolition.com/2013/05/31/how-to-use-your-cell-phone-as-a-survival-tool/Interesting ideas, but I wonder how effective they'd be?Def
Each and every time i read one of this funny survival threads on the net i wonder what people are expecting to get in such a situation. Plane/Helicopter crash? I would assume that a missing one would cause a big search. And IF you survived the crash it might be not a bad idea to stay where they can find the big visible parts. Additional you probably won´t have any of your fancy survival gear at hand due to TSA, but a lot of parts from the plane/heli.Broken car? Probably your chances are better to stay on the road, even far out between towns your chances should be better to be found by another car than trying to be Bear Grills in the woods aside the street.Out on a hike? I would wonder if you do that without the right equipment for the region and season, as you do this knowingly and on a purpose. Accident while out there, broke a leg or something? Not sure what any broken phonestuff should help when you are not capable to use your bought and carried equipment.
I think its more an exercise of mind. You know, what could you salvage.
