If you have ever rolled your eyes at strange survival tips, think again. These weird rules might sound crazy — but they could save your life when it matters most.

You’ve probably heard some weird advice before. But some of it might actually be useful — like, save-your-life useful.

If a moose licks your car, don’t try to stop it

Sounds nuts, right? But people in Alaska say that if you try to scare off a moose, you might just end up with a totaled car — or worse. Moose don’t mess around.

If you’re stuck in quicksand, lean back like you’re floating in a pool

This goes against every instinct. But leaning back spreads out your weight, and helps you float instead of sink. (Also — who knew quicksand was even real?)

Carry wasabi peas on a hike

Bears hate spicy stuff. A handful tossed their way can give you just enough time to walk away — fast.

Sometimes the weirdest rules are the ones that stick. Why? Because they make us laugh — and that makes them easier to remember.

So the next time someone gives you advice that sounds insane, you might want to write it down. It could be the weird tip that saves your ass one day.
