10 Survival Myths That Will Get You Killed If You Follow Them (From An Appalachian Local)

My survival book, The Appalachian Book of the Living and the Lost: https://www.otisboone.com The old mountain remedies you grew up hearing are not the same as what keeps a body alive. This one walks through ten survival rules passed down in Appalachia, from cutting a snakebite to sheltering in an old mine, and shows exactly where each one turns deadly. You will hear what really happens inside the body during a snakebite, frostbite, lightning, a bear encounter, and bad air in an abandoned mine, and what to do instead. It draws on real cases, real mountain history, and the hard lessons of people who lived here before you. By the end you will know which habits to drop and which old knowing is worth keeping. #AppalachianFolklore #SurvivalMyths #AppalachianLore #MountainSurvival #OtisBoone
