Effective Survival

Your will to survive is your best asset, no matter what you’re doing. In a survival situation it is easy to lose all hope and give up; your desire and determination to make it through is the single most important element to your ultimate survival. With a real certainty that there is always a way to survive, no matter the circumstances, you can develop hope and that is a major stepping stone to a strong will to live. Without that will to live, none of the survival skills and knowledge taught here will be of any use. Force yourself to develop that will. Never surrender your life, for you can always find a way.

AN OVERVIEW OF SURVIVAL

Survival is not just living and continuing to be alive. It is an active participation in effective “doingness” that results in good health and a better existence for yourself, your family, your friends and often your neighbors. It can also include your business associates and sometimes your country and even all of humanity.

There is no such thing as bad survival. If a person is not surviving, they are dying and if they do not force themselves to consider the situation and actively do something effective to change it, they will not make it. This is just as true in normal life as it is in survival situations.
