Attitude and Common Sense

You can survive most emergency situations with the use of a little common sense. Panic gets people killed. Calm yourself, admit that you have a problem and begin planning a solution. Use the tools you have with you.

Attitude will play a large role in a survival situation. Never give up. In most cases, search-and-rescue efforts take less than 36 hours. That might mean a night out but if you have told someone where you are going it will shorten the rescue time considerably. Utilize the survival items you have with you and have faith in your abilities in the outdoors.
