Hey guys,
Which is the best survival tip to you that have served you most out there?? Want to make a list of them.
Cheers!!

Make a realistic risk assesment before you go. That allows to act accordingly.
It also lowers the risk to have to switch to actual survival mode.
At about the same level is aquiring and honing skills.

Experience and skills, especially first aid, are more important than equipment

Learn to improvise - think outside the box.


Lurking on another forum, I notice you are asking the same question there. Writing a book/?

Recognize that your brain is the best survival tool in existence. Develop it, train it, think, observe, plan.

1. Make everything tactical!

2. If it's not MOLLE, throw it in the garbage.

3. Big Rambo knives only. Nothing shorter than 10 inches. Also, must be tactical.

4. Need to carry five guns and at least a thousand rounds of ammo (200 x 5 types). With anything less, you cannot respond effectively to a tactical situation.

5. Don't worry about food, water, and shelter, because you can just live off the land even if you've never hunted before.

6. The internet will provide you with all the training you need.

7. TEOTWAWKI is the only scenario worth preparing for. Forget earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, power outage, train chemical spill, etc. That's for sissies.

Bingley, you are spot on! You totally nailed it! You hit it out of the park!

Only five guns??

Okay, I'll play:

Rule #1: Make a concerted and conscious effort to avoid placing yourself in a survival situation.

STOP

Stop, Think, Orient and Plan

So many survival situations start with simply getting lost — stay found. Learn to use a map & compass, and if you have a GPS, use that with a map so your GPS back-up stays current. Don’t get lost.
