Survival Priorities
The " Spear " Approach
" Stop " - Stop what you are doing and look around.
​
"Plan " - Take stock of your supplies, suroundings , situation. Figure out what you will need to do first.
"Execute " - Put your plans into action. Engage in improving your situation.
" Assess " - Periodically pause to assess your progress & next steps in motion
" Re-evaluate " - Ask yourself if your actions are helping or hindering your survival ? Determine what your next needs are.
The most important survival skill is maintaining a level-headed mental attitude. Your state of mind is key in my opinion to effectively assessing your satiation and pointing you in the right direction for responding to the challenges at hand. Many studies have documented the devastating impacts of panic-stricken states during survival situations. When panicked, logical thinking can go out of the window & persons are known to make irrational choices that often lead to their demise. To maintain an upright attitude, I recommend knowing your " Survival Priorities" and recommending using the " SPEAR " approach.
