    Hi guys,

    Since some of us live in cold parts of the world and thus might be exposed to dangerous weather events, I thought I'd share this helpful survival note I came across in the off-topic section, since this is survival skyblock after all!

    If you get buried in an avalanche, freezing your feces into a knife shape and trying to carve your way out of the ice will not work. A Danish explorer named Peter Freuchen has claimed to use this method to escape a blizzard before, but recent studies have shown that this anecdote was likely fabricated for television. Thus, you are better off trying another method.

    Source: (Experimental replication shows knives manufactured from frozen human feces do not work - ScienceDirect )

    Let me know if this helps anyone!

    Happy Skyblocking

    It's is completely false, by the using the scientific method I can say that using a poop knife may help safe your life.

    (Maybe not in an avalanche but sure help me beat the crap out of Fred)

    for the avalanche one you can also spit whichever direction it goes down u dig to the opposite due to gravity thats how you would get out :)
