Survival is a mental game. It has long been said that survival is 90% mental and 10% physical (albeit a very difficult 10%…usually made up of thirst, hunger, stress, weakness, pain etc.) In a survival situation it is extremely important to remain calm and keep thinking about the next step – one step of many which will hopefully lead to self-rescue or being rescued. Although a survival situation could be thought of as a crisis, consider the Chinese character for CRISIS – It is the combination of the words Danger & Opportunity.
