Introduction
In a survival situation, the powers that be always say don't panic, but that is almost useless information because it is so basic and obvious. This following list tells you specifically what to do, instead of what not to. This list is based on the book, Deep Survival, which is based on the idea that some people with all the correct equipment give up and die while some people who are ill prepared succeed. The list is basically about how not to panic.
trust your gut feelings before taking on situations you think may lead to risk
CONCENTRATE ON ATTITUDE FIRST
pray for focus
turn fear into focus, strength for action
pay attention to details
focus on the hear and now
START TAKING ACTION
be bold but also cautious
believe anything is possible
expect things to be different this time
GO SLOW AND REST
go slow - allow things to take 8 times longer than expected
remember to rest - only go at 60% your normal speed
long term memories can help you rest
MORE SPECIFIC
give yourself small tasks
develop a routine
try to help others
do anything necessary to survive
KEEP GOING
do not second guess yourself or think about why the risky situation occurred
let other family members motivate you
balance privacy and community
use humor and awe of the power of nature
