What is survival?
Without sounding too ridiculous, I will say that survival is simply a matter of surviving. Brilliant deduction, isn’t it? The key to survival is preparation coupled with awareness. Without those two items working in concert, you may not live through the night. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that. A true matter of survival is a matter of life or death, and should be treated with all seriousness.
There are some situations, however, that are emergencies that do not bring an instant threat of death. Take an earthquake or hurricane, for example. They might not kill you when they strike, but the aftermath can be quite an ordeal. Being prepared for such ordeals is what survival is all about. Survival is about staying alive, but it’s also about staying healthy and taking care of your loved ones during a time of crisis.
Step one is to be prepared, and step two is to be aware. I suppose one could argue that they are part of the same chore, but I will discuss them individually. I feel each concept deserves its own piece. Stay tuned for more!
