Okay, first of all, no.

Second of all, you don't say something like, "I survived a fire in a high-rise hotel on the 46th floor," and then SKIP ALL THE DETAILS.

Haha.

Well, I was in Brisbane with my friend on holiday, and we were on the 46th floor and the fire was way below us, and I had this book called 'The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook' in my suitcase and I remembered it had something about surviving hotel fires in it. I got it out and followed the instructions.

- Test if the doorknob is hot or cold (it was cold)
- If it's hot, skip to step...
- If it's cold, wet some towels. Wrap them around you, leave the room and stay close to the floor.
- Make your way to a fire escape (DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR)

there was something else about checking the fire escape but we disregarded it. Then we found a fire extinguisher in the fire escape, got it working and basically ran down the stairs with it at the ready... simple. No-one was hurt in the end.

Nice, butyeah, once again my theory that most survival stuff is really nothing but common sense is proved. I don't really have any, at least, none that weren't my own curst stupid fault. (And, gah, durn it, I know I shouldn't have reread Beka Cooper, Bloodhound.)

I dunno. Obviously some things are just plain common sense, but there's stuff on there about how to shake a tail and how to escape from a riot and how to wriggle out of bonds...
