I had been looking for a motivational tool for a member of staff that had been bullied so badly she lost confidence in herself so I needed something to get her back on track as I knew she has the capabilities, this article gave the tools she needed

This is valuable advice! As a Cancer Survivor and current fighter of a second Cancer These tools are adaptable to all areas of human endeavor. Thank You!

This is a great article. Good examples.
Most of these are already explained in "Bhagwat Gita".

WOW!! Good article! Very good ideas that I am going to put into practice!

There is some fantastic advice here. Resilience is a terrific quality as well. I suspect many who love the outdoors and sport do so because of the challenges involve. These challenges can teach you all sorts of things from wisdom to a deep sense of humility and humanity.

Wow! this is a good article,actually it ookm eby suprise when it was talking baout denial,great insight thanks a lot author.

It is interesting what you can learn from a surviver guide. Where can I find a good guide!

I have been working with Outward Bound for quite some time and this article espouses the very precepts we use in formulating a course. I have passed it on as a must read. Good Job

thats it, guy

One time, I was "road raged" on the way to work at an armored car company in Portland, Oregon. The other driver was furious when I cut him off in a last minute lane change before a tunnel. He turned on his high beams, honked his horn for the entire tunnel length, and then tried to run me off of highway 405 by repeatedly moving into my lane, laterally. I had a loaded .357 Magnum and had resolved if he made impact (collision), I would have to shoot him. Luckily he exited the road first.

As to the Stock Market one can follow Warrren Buffett into value investing with some savings, and also buy some pre 1964 circulated U.S. dimes

Excellent article, very true and that should be followed by everybody who's going for adventure, at least read by the others.
Good job!

Very informative, not at all what I was expecting but believe this to be sound thinking. Every situation comes down to careful consideration and reasoning and then applying what you've learned. Everyone should read this.

Another excellent article, Lawrence. Examples of the psyche that ones needs to develop before need, as you've shown, IS the key. Doing something new, and potentially unsafe? Do your homework, practice with the tools you'll need. and be confidant of completion...in whatever it takes. Think it through, before ever stepping out the door. Always, ALWAYS follow through. For some, adventure is simply dealing with life. Floods, earthquakes, crime... Psyche up for those potentials as well. MORE likely!

I have to say that outside of adventure enthusiasm, this article has been incrediblyy helpful from a psionic stand point. it has helped me expand my mind and explore new motives and directions. Thanks!

this article is just great!this is one of the best survival articles i have read

I enjoyed this article. I have a friend who has been diagnosed with a tumor that may or may not be operable. He has a very good mental attitude and approach to not seeing himself as a victim. he will survive if indeed it is possible. I read a book --the Outward Leadership Book from Outward Bound which describes survival rates increasing if folks have practiced operating outside of their comfort zone-- basically doing capsize drills in a controlled way over and over.

Thisis a very good article. Give us important advices, not only for survive to an natural disaster. Are advices very useful for the life, the relationships and many other life´s situations.

good article! inspiring!

best article I'vd read in a long timr

One of the best books I ever read is LOST IN THE WILD by Cary Griffith, a true survival account of 2 different incidents in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota, and Quetico, Canada, an absolute page turner!

Mr. Gonzalez ... 3 years since Katrina - seems a long time still to struggle somewhat. Thank you for a godsend blueprint to a 14-point review of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of our own handling of the crisis and its aftermath, to varying degrees of success. Our perspective and priorities were forever changed

awesome advises...i'm glad i recognize myself in some skills..i did a hike by myself for 36 days in the pyrennean mountain range in france from the mediterranean sea to the atlantic ocean..
During fews days I was running out of food so,I started to eat vegetables I found in the forest,it was an unforgettable experience..but I lost 8 kilos.At some period I was thinking :should I keep walking there,even if i'm running out of food,should I stop,iget huge blisters and still have scars on my feet
