survival

The U.S. Army Survival Manual uses the word survival as a memory device to get the important principles firmly in your thinking:
S - Size Up The Situation (Your condition, tools, surroundings)
U - Use All Your Senses, Undue Haste Makes Waste
R -Remember Where You Are
V - Vanquish Fear and Panic
I - Improvise
V - Value Living
A - Act Like the Natives
L - Live by your Wits, But for Now, Learn Basic Skills
Not only is this a great tactic for the army, but also for those going out to the wilderness. These are things that should be strongly considered before heading on a journey.
