Survival Attitude

Survival attitude is a manner of feeling and thinking that dictate your actions in a survival situation. Survival skills are important, the will to survive is imperative. A healthy survival attitude will give you the mental strength to endure. Our greatest enemies in an emergency survival situation are fear and panic which cause stress, our reaction to pressure fueled by feelings about events. Education and preparedness are the keys to building a healthy survival attitude.

Survival Playing Cards

A good survival attitude is easier to maintain by having some kind of reference material with you. Even if it is just a deck of cards which are small enough to slip into a shirt pocket.

The "Don't Die Out There!" deck of playing cards contains information from the construction of emergency shelters and evacuation techniques to how to care for someone with a fracture or construct a solar still, and much more.

Managing a survival situation:

Administer first aid (when necessary)
Inventory supplies and equipment
Develop a plan of action (keep it flexible) Note: Staying in one place is a plan of action.
Act as if you are a survivor (you have survived to this point) and you will find yourself recognizing ways to make that continue to happen.

A complete survival kit would give you a jump start in any survival situation giving you a window of time to plan your next step and reduce fear . . . the worst enemy of a good survival attitude.

Hoping for the best while being prepared for the worst can make it easier to maintain a healthy survival attitude.
