Yang Basrudd used special skills of survival, avoidance, resistance, and escape in the process of fleeing.

Anti-tracking techniques

The beginning of the movie is a fierce battle. In order to get rid of the German hunting, Yang used the method of "walking backwards" to lead the enemy to the distant forest. At the same time, rocky terrain was selected, which can avoid snow footprints.

Survival skills in severe cold

First, he swam through the icy waters of the lake, which would cause hypothermia.

The first symptom is shaking. This tremor can develop to an uncontrollable degree. When the patient's body temperature drops to 35-32 degrees, slow thinking, confusion and delusions will occur.

To treat hypothermia, the patient's body temperature must be warmed up again. And to change clean clothes, because the evaporation of water will take away the heat on the surface of the body. This is also the basic principle of keeping warm. ——From "U.S. Army Survival Manual"

Only changing clean clothes can treat hypothermia

The local civilians carried Yang on their backs to keep the clothes dry. This can increase his chances of survival.

Second, he had "trench foot disease" and his feet had been frostbited.

This disease is caused by exposure to a humid environment for several hours. Gangrene may occur and eventually the foot will have to be removed. The best way to prevent this disease is to keep your socks dry and wash your feet regularly.

After the male protagonist suffered a gunshot wound, he did not feel any pain, indicating that his foot had been frostbitten. If the period of unconsciousness is not long, then the frostbite may be mild. You should move your feet from time to time to keep your feet warm.

Third, snow blindness

Walking in the ice and snow for a long time will lead to snow blindness. The main symptoms are: feeling of sand in the eyes, eye pain, redness, tearing, headache. If you continue to be exposed to the sun, these symptoms will continue to worsen.

The treatment method is to wrap the eyes with gauze until the symptoms disappear.

Fourth, it is strictly forbidden to drink or smoke under frostbite, fatigue, or hunger

The male lead drank some wine while hiding in the cabin. This directly leads to hallucinations-dreaming that I am dancing.

It is best to keep your brain awake when avoiding the enemy's pursuit.

I think Yang should belong to the Norwegian Special Forces. He has a very tenacious will to survive, and he still has a sense of humor even in difficult situations. It is this precious quality that kept him alive.
