It’s often easy to imagine emergencies as the exclusive domain of first responders, but nothing could be further from the truth. As men it is our duty to be ready for action when life throws a situation at us, and those situations can come quick, literally within seconds. Whether you encounter your grandparents falling, a stranger having a heart attack, your child nearly drowning, etc, you need to be ready. Learning CPR is one of the best ways to prepare for such predicaments.
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Like it’s name implies, the goal is to revive someone who’s heart or breathing has ceased. Heart attacks, blunt force trauma, and near drowning are all possible causes for cardiac or respiratory failure.
When you encounter someone who’s become unresponsive, first call 911 (or the appropriate emergency services number), then check both the victim’s pulse and breathing. If you feel a pulse but no breathing, open and clear the airway to administer rescue breaths. Use your peripheral vision to check if the chest is rising and falling, that’s how you know air is entering the lungs.
If there’s breathing but no pulse, you must start chest compressions. Aim to compress about two inches deep, any shallower and you won’t be effective. When the adrenaline is rushing you may not be able to reliable find someone’s pulse; when in doubt it’s better to be safe than sorry, just do the chest compressions.
It’s probable that you’ll break their ribs if your technique is correct, but it’s preferable to dying. In the case that there’s neither breathing nor a pulse, it’s time for full CPR: administer 30 chest compressions and then two rescue breaths, in that order, and repeat.
I won’t go into further detail since I’m not a certified instructor and it’s far better to get hands on experience with this anyway. I will however go over the many reasons to be proficient in it.
1. It pays to be prepared, especially when help is far away
Few skills are more masculine than being able to save someone, especially one you love, in a high stress situation. The last thing you want is to be helpless in an emergency or have to wait for someone else to come and do the saving while being relegated to standing by or giving reassuring words.
Plus, you don’t know how long it’ll take for professional help to arrive—traffic, distance, human error, miscommunication, and a host of other hindrances can significantly extend the response time of emergency services. During that precious time it’ll be all on you and everyone else present to take action. And even when help arrives, your responsibilities don’t end. I’ve heard of situations where first responders have you continue administering CPR even after they’ve arrived if you’re doing it correctly and it helps the victim’s chance of survival. Finish strong if the situation requires you. Don’t rely on others, take the necessary steps to be ready.
2. It’s a part of manhood
I’ve noticed that other contributors Return of Kings often go over the importance of learning martial arts and the ability to defend oneself (most rightfully so). Being deadly is an innate aspect of masculinity, but it’s also important not to miss the other side of manhood: that of being a protector over one’s family and community.
Taking life, giving life, and saving life are arguably the rawest experiences a man can ever have. Few men get the chance to experience all three, but all of us here can become capable of saving life when the circumstances necessitate action. Knowing CPR is part of fulfilling your masculine duty of protecting your community and those you love.
3. It opens up many job opportunities
Being CPR certified is an attractive skill to employers and even a requirement in many occupations. Jobs relating to healthcare and caretaking such as lifeguards, EMTs, babysitting and many more may require CPR certification. Even if your job doesn’t involve anything health related, potential employers will still appreciate having someone in the workforce with such a skill. Knowing CPR can be a financial benefit.
4. It’s easy and relatively inexpensive to get a class
Signing up for a class is simple. There are many organizations that offer CPR certification classes that you can find online, just make sure they’re accredited. In my case, I saw a sign in my university’s gym that advertised a class offered by the American Red Cross, so I decided to sign up after working out. At the time it was merely an afterthought, but I’m grateful for doing so. It only took me only about 60$ and seven hours of my time to get certified for first aid as well as adult and infant CPR. A very small price to pay.
Keep in mind not every class covers all the subjects I’ve listed, but wherever you go, you’ll find CPR can be surprisingly exhausting. During my training I would start feeling tired after a few rounds of chest compressions and rescue breaths. For this reason, classes will generally teach you how to do both individual and group variations (one person does chest compressions and rescue breaths while the other holds the victim’s head in a breathing position, the two will switch once one person is fatigued).
Once you finish the course, you will receive a certification that usually lasts two years, but of course, the real value is in developing the important skills that last your whole life. That being said, it’s always good to get re-certified for training/employment purposes.
Conclusion
Don’t underestimate this technique. Applying proper CPR immediately during an emergency triples a victim’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. There are few things one can learn that are more practical and effective than CPR. Who knows, you just might save someone’s life.

Libertarians strongly recommend fans be local volunteers with CPR/1st Aid certifications. They even have a support group with people in every country. That lifeguard, volunteer firefighter or CPR person just may be a libertarian or fan. They’re also big on weapons and martial arts.
They’re also big on prepping, basically introduced and popularized the modern concept and regular challenge laws that actually forbid prepping.
It’s also a good idea to keep things like a fire extinguisher handy. I’ve twiced helped save people in accidents since I got aware of this.
Serve Russia, and not the feminists in America, Canada or EU:
(((Yacobsen)))
Does secretly supporting Russia to destroy North America feminism cause us to be put on a secret hit list in Hilary Clinton’s or the SPLC office? I don’t give a fuck to be honest, but just wondering if the feminists and SJWs fear Russia.
I don’t really care about other people, let them die.
Because you’re an old sell out piece of shit
As the feature picture shows, CPR allows you to legally put your hands on or near an unconscious woman’s chest. And if she dies, you can feel her up while she’s still warm.
I would rape that bich so hard. #getemwhiletheywarm
but in present times its not about legal, its about feeelings
White Knight syndrome in the extreme.
Never help any woman in any situation.
She doesn’t want a man’s help, she doesn’t need it.
Let them all go it alone.
Shut the fuck up timmy
Fuck you gay niggr
What was the trigger word, Bob?
Timmy is a homo.
You let niggrs poop in your mouth bich. Gay=death cult
And you’re farting in people’s mouth?
I’d go beyond with first aid, and first responder (or even EMT, with or without license) so you will know how to stabilize things like broken bones, deal with skull fractures, or if someone gets a sucking chest wound or serious burn, many won’t need CPR untl it would be too late.
Your first instinct might be to do the wrong thing.
CPR on a woman? No way, man… I don’t want a false rape accusation. Just walk right over her corpse, on my merry way.
Bless You!
Majority of the ungrateful bitches deserve no sympathy. It is their fault & they have to face the consequences!
Empowered women in the Anglosphere don’t deserve any love, help or compassion. They deserve America’s enemies to nuke the fuck out of their safe space, but hypergamy rules, so these feminasties will probably become sex slaves for China or North Korea.
Never use CPR on a feminist. Let her die there!
This is very true. Enabling these man-hating women to live another day is another decade or century of anti-male oppression. It should be a happy day if a feminasty dies naturally.
I invite you to join the army in Russia. We need men like you to fight the battle for Orthodox Christianity that is being attacked by the West. Make Vladimir Putin proud and make Russia great again!
Yeah, great idea. Us westerners who don’t speak Russian can just go to Russia and join the army. Sure. Besides the fact that as westerners, we would be treated like hammered dog shit.
But thanks for the invite anyway.
Russians are not batshit crazy feminists and SJWs who want all white men to perish because of muh patriarchy. I’d rather be yelled at by a sexy Russian woman than get butt raped in prison because of an ugly American woman.
I agree with everything you say. I am just pointing out that this guy’s totally off-topic posts about us western men joining the Russian army are unrealistic, impossible, and dumb.
And I’m a US vet who respects the Russian military a lot.
Before performing CPR on anyone these days it’s always best to first check their arms for needle marks. If you suspect that it’s just a hair ron overdose then it’s probably best to just walk away from the scene and pretend like you didn’t see anything.
and while checking for needle marks check the arm pits, if is a woman with hair in her arm pit walk away, if the hair is dye blue then ran away as fast as you can
CPR by itself is only effective less than 3% of the time.
CPR with AED Defibrillators is effective 23% of the time.
You need drugs and a hospital setting for CPR to be worth performing.
CPR training is about managing corporate liabilities and personal guilt.
If it was for a family member you really cared about – go for it.
For all others just tell them to go to the light.
What if it was your family member in someone else’s hands, would you want them to ignore your family member and tell them to go to the light? I get where you’re coming from, and its easy to say the things you are saying, but if time came, your good natured human instinct would kick in and you would help.
The reality is that performing CPR on a stranger without safety equipment is very dangerous.
If you don’t have gloves or a respirator mask I wouldn’t do CPR.
People can vomit during CPR – who knows what viruses or bacterial you’re being exposed too.
You are putting yourself at risk.
People die all the time.
That reality should change how you live every day.
And how you care about your family.
I would argue driver training or walking or bike riding without headphones on would save more lives than CPR.
Don, innocent people suffer cardiac arrest every single day: dads, moms, brothers, sisters, grandfathers and grandmothers alike. To think that you’d pass up doing CPR on someone who’s in cardiac arrest because you’re scared of “putting yourself at risk” is disgusting.
Some people don’t seem to know what a stranger is.
A stranger is a non-family member.
I never said – don’t help family members.
I did say the odds of CPR working are pretty low.
Don, my point is that those strangers are indeed brothers, sisters, moms, dads, etc to someone. Just because you don’t know them personally and just because they have no emotional basis in your life doesn’t mean they aren’t real people with real lives with real people who care about them. If I fell over and was in the middle of a cardiac crisis, I’d expect people to help me in whatever way possible just as I would do for them. Perhaps you want people to walk over your body but for most people, that’s not what’s right.
I would get certified for CPR (lasts a couple of years) before doing CPR on anyone. You’d learn they don’t do the mouth to mouth any more for the reasons you give. Gloves, really? Are you afraid of MRSA?
Send them to the gas chamber
Tommy,
I despise most of my family, let ’em die.

I think 3%, if that’s accurate, is still worth it.
AEDs are available in a lot of places and pretty easy to use.
Learned CPR from an EMT volenteering with my scout troop 25 odd years ago. To this day I’ve not had opportunity (dead is dead) to put it into practice but I still remember everything. Hand placement, breath seal, count, response signs. Unfortunately the knowledge didn’t come with a certificate bearing some official seal. Therefore my knowledge isn’t real knowledge. Makes sense right?
Only people worth saving in this country are white males. Anything else can perish for all I care.
The feminasties in America and Canada have hated on white men for years. It’s about time that men go GALT and leave these feminasties to surrender under Vladimir Putin’s Russian army. Russia will nuke the fuck out of Chanty Binx’s hideout that she will be running away from her safe space in a molten fire before dying of severe burns. How great that day will be!
Why the fuck would I wanna know CPR??
I’ve lived in poor ass third world countries, I lived in a run down European town, and I live in a rich western nation at present.
And let me tell you: Westerners are a bunch of narcissistic pigs. You people have a very poor estimation of life’s value. You animals mindlessly graze around for ur next dopamine fix totally oblivious to your surroundings and totally blind to the things which actually make life valuable. Your hedonistic existences are an affront to the creator. Consequently your own lives have no value.
So if I ever passed by a westerner having a heart attack, I’d just keep walking.
Don’t ever perform CPR on a woman, you’ll end up on the front page of twitter next to #metoo
