Liam Gooley created these [helpful illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) about how to survive attacks from the wild. The guide provides individuals with step-by-step instructions on how to conduct themselves when faced with certain predators. Some of the illustrations provide you with helpful tips such as curling into a ball when being attacked by a bear, while other tips such as not giving an alien the Vulcan finger salute is for pure jest -- then again, aliens would find it rather patronizing when you think about it. Surviving the wild is never easy, but hopefully it can be easier now thanks to these funny helpful [survival guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/survival-the-exhibition). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smartphone-dependent Survival:** Opportunity to develop innovative survival tools and apps for smartphone users who lack traditional survival skills. - **Humorous Survival Guides:** Opportunity to create entertaining and educational survival guides that engage and inform readers. - **Survival Tips for Encounters with Non-human Threats:** Opportunity to provide specialized survival advice for encounters with animals or other non-human threats. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Gear and Equipment:** Opportunity for manufacturers to develop specialized survival gear and equipment tailored to modern survival needs. - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity for app developers to create survival-focused apps with step-by-step instructions and interactive features. - **Publishing and Media:** Opportunity for publishers and media companies to create and distribute humorous survival guides for entertainment and education purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adventure Game Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spin-to-survive-frozen-mountain.md) - [Nature-Connected Lifestyle Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-wild.md) - [Wildlife Awareness Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-cards.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Nature Exploration Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-atlas.md) - [Humorous Parenting Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-pray-cry.md) - [Bear Spray Education Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabres-frontiersman.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Animal-Inspired Habitat Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-animal-lip-balm.md)
