Besides such All Important things as Frame of Mind, Attitude, Survival Knack and Sense, Equipment, Practice, and Knowledge, -What do you Feel to be the Greatest of Brass Tacks, -Survival and Preparedness Boildowns!?

I view them to be these Four,-

Namely,-

FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, and WARMTH. (Warmth both "Personal", and "Shelter / Surroundings-wise").

A Fifth one, -AIR, -Can also be Added, -but in Many to Most Life Situations, -That already exists in Abundance. But get Too High on a Mountain! Or Too Low in a Mine or the Sea Depths! And AIR will soon enough certainly Announce it's Crucial Place and Prescence!

But given it's usual, Ready Abundance, -I'll limit myself here to the Chief Fourmost.

You've just Got to get some form of Carbohydrate Based Foofstuff, -either "Chemically" and/or Naturally!

Water the Same! Typically More or Less Naturally.

An at least Basic, and Sufficient Shelter!

And Warmth!, -both Personally in the form of Chlothes and other Cover, -and as regards your immeadiate Shelter and Surroundings!

Other things, -such as Camouflage and Concealment, Signaling, and Mobility, -would Rank Well Up There too!

What do you Think that such ones might be?!

Be they as they may, -I still think that the Four Great Boildowns as I've arrived at, -Not Ignoreing Attitude and such!, -are it!

FOOD---WATER---SHELTER---And Both Kinds of WARMTH!
