I'm not going to debate this one because Mors Kochanski is somebody who I really respect and admire...and he's a fellow Albertan!

The quote comes from his 'credo' which I'll quote here. I've done so without permission and have no affiliation with Mors or his school.

The bush is neutral. Is is neither for nor against me. My comfort depends on what I can do for myself and how much I know about using the bush materials around me. Becoming angry, depressed or unhappy does little to help me in my situation. I will try to think positive thoughts and find ways to be thankful for what I have. When I am not sure of what to do I will stop, relax, and think out the situation before I act.
I realize moving about when I do not know where I am or where I am going will make it difficult for others to find me.
My concern at this moment is to make myself comfortable for tonight. I shall shelter myself from wind, rain or snow and build a fire to warm up.
I will not let fear or panic rule my mind as this only works against me. The bush is inert. It is incapable off doing me harm.
