Editor's Note: As part of our Homesteading / Self-Reliance features, TLA chose these two funny, highly entertaining videos which could save a life.
The first stars British actor Vinnie Jones in a memorable CPR training by the British Heart Foundation. Used in an actual First Responders CPR recertification, it will both entertain and stick with you. Note that rules on using compressions plus mouth-to-mouth versus compressions alone vary from year to year. The technique in this video was developed by cardiologists at the University of Arizona.

In the second video Todd Scott creates an hilarious Star Wars theme to teach the use of a defibrillator. AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are found in most public buildings and include complete instructions. During an emergency, however, it's extremely helpful (and safer) to have had prior training. The strength of this video is its stress-reducing humor which makes the AED less formidable and its effective visual underscoring of the most crucial points to remember. Learn and enjoy!
