Thanks for the info about the picture and the bear attack.
I understand what you are saying about how you think of survival situations.
My interpretation of survival situation is a bit wider in scope I guess.
To me a survival situation is being in any position that places my life at risk. That means anything from toxic spills, power outages, getting caught in a storm, fires, accidents,...the list can go on a long way and even includes getting stranded in the bush.
The thing is that we don't get to choose where or when TSHTF.
You could slip in the tub, break some bones and find yourself in a survival situation right then and there, especially if there was nobody handy to hear you fall, or prepared to act even if they did hear you.
IMHO the biggest part of survival is not getting yourself into survival situations if you can help it.
That is why I prepare and equip. If I am prepared and equipped for getting stranded overnight in the bush then it is just an extra overnight camp or two instead of a survival situation.
