In a survival situation, you may have to walk on a narrow bridge or thin wall , very high from the ground. You may have to even jump a few meters or hang from a rope between sky and Earth.

There was a nice film about some country in Latin America. They showed folks living in mountineous villages, and their only way of transportation ( even kids going to school) a cable that hangs some 100 yards above a river. The kids use a piece of would with a wheel and slide over that cable to the other side. It is nothing less that Holywood movie stunt what they are doing. Yet it seems to be their daily routine !!! Will I do it if a bear is chasing me ?? I don’t know. I may just faint between the two scary scenes on both sides, and the bear will decide to leave this worthless cowardly creature lying on the ground…

What are your thoughts on fears of high altitude in relation to survival.

Its called acrophobia, and I don’t know what to do about it , or should I do anything about it ??
