Mental Attitude

Whatever the severity of situation and the individual's physical capability to cope, mental attitude is the real key to survival. Human beings are great survivors, using their brains to keep one step ahead of their animal competitors. In wilderness survival situation, humans have to relearn many manual skills. Common sense is one of the most basic and valuable of human characteristics, but much more important than even this is the will to survive.

It's up to You

Above all, survival demands mental toughness and very clear thinking. The logical evaluation of everything you know and a hard-headed assessment of your own abilities and those of the members of your party may lead to unpalatable conclusions and difficult decisions.

Talent Is a Gift, but Character Is a Choice

We have no control over a lot of things in life. We don't get to choose our parents. We don't select the location or circumstances of our birth and upbringing. We don't get to pick our talents or IQ. But we do choose -to cop out or dig out of a hard situation, to bend the truth or stand under the weight of it, to take the easy money or pay the price. As you live your life and make choices today, you are continuing to create your character.

Character is More than talk

Anyone can say that he has integrity, but action is the real indicator of character. Your character determines who are you. Who you are determines what you see. What you see determines what you do. That's why you can never separate a leader's character from his actions. If leader's actions and intentions are continually working against each other, then look to his character to find out why.

Are Your A Survivor?

By Nature, we are all survivors, driven by the desire to live rather than die, fired up by fear whenever our lives are threatened. However, in purely physical terms, we are poorly equipped to stand up either to the environment or to our natural enemies. way back down our evolutionary line, this weakness became an enormous advantage, forcing the ape-creatures from which we developed to use their brains to overcome adversaries stronger than themselves. The more these early humans used brain rather than brawn, the more advantage they achieved over their natural dexterity developed.
We are descended from the ones that continued to think, experiment and persevere and who adapted to change, thus survivors, all we require in order to translate our day-to-day survival techniques into unfamiliar environments is some additional knowledge and a few practical skills.
