Survival Training: Awareness in Survival

If there’s a single principle at the heart of self-defence, it’s awareness—particularly, being attuned to your surroundings. Picture the elderly woman who hears commotion ahead and chooses a safer, alternate route home, while an overly confident young man ignores warning signs and winds up in a risky situation. The woman’s alertness keeps her safe.

This kind of environmental awareness is just as crucial in survival scenarios. From careful planning to being out in the wild, staying mindful of your environment, your capabilities, and the risks around you is essential. Many individuals fail to recognize when a situation turns critical, so being able to identify emergencies early is a vital survival skill.

SurvivalCraft’s training features a segment dedicated to “Survival Awareness,” where you’ll learn how to adapt your survival gear to your unique needs. To find out more about our comprehensive three-day workshop, get in touch for details.
