Recognizing These Natural Disaster Warning Signs Will Save Your Life

These birds don’t typically like to leave their nests at any point in time, so if you see a bunch of golden-winged warblers fleeing a location, you should follow their lead. 

Standing Bears

If you run across a standing bear, or if a bear spots you and stands up, you need to immediately go into defense mode. There are a few procedures for dealing with bears, but the most important piece of information that you should walk away with is the knowledge to not panic. If you run, scream, or show any sudden signs of distress, there is a significantly higher chance that the bear will attack. Instead of showing your weakness, stand up straight, start making hissing noises and stand your ground against the bear.
