IMPROVISATION AND PRACTICE
One skill that will prove useful in a survival situation and life in general is improvisation. Try to see things for what they can become, not just for what they are.
- Discern what you really need
- Inventory available materials
- Consider all reasonable alternatives
- Select the choice that uses the least materials, time and energy
- Make sure that what you improvise is both safe and durable
As you watch this video, remember that you may be called upon to use the skills you will learn and the contents of your survival kit. Make sure that the first time you try these things is not when your life depends upon it. Practice meeting your needs with the contents of your survival kit and be certain that you are able to complete the tasks of survival with a minimal amount of time, effort and equipment. Often those in survival situations are not in top physical or mental condition and can’t afford to waste the limited resources that are available to them by “figuring it out” when their life may be at stake.
"These are not the sort of skills that you have to spend days and weeks and months learning. They’re the sort of skills you can learn in an afternoon or a weekend and they stick with you for your lifetime"
