SURVIVAL

The Psychological Aspect Of Wilderness Survival

Stress and stressors

Everyone has a point in life when they have felt stressed. Stress is inevitable in the modern day, but very few stressors can compare to those that you will encounter in a survival situation. However, stress can be beneficial sometimes, regardless of the tremendous pressure it heaps on us. Stressors can prompt you to work at your peak level, providing you with the energy to utilize your strengths and work on your witnesses.

But stress can be a destructive force as well. Chronic amounts can cause distress, which can in turn change into panic. Nonetheless, the secret to overcoming a survival situation is challenging and controlling the stressor you may encounter. These are several and varied, among them being a general lack of control, loneliness & isolation, boredom & depression, negative group dynamics, fatigue, lack of knowledge, cold or heat, the environment, thirst, hunger, injury & illness, and indubitably, death.

You need to acknowledge, confront, and deal with each one of these needs. Keep in mind that when fighting for your life, it is important to rule out disadvantages. Unlike in the office, you can’t sweep the problems facing you aside. In the wild, there is no procrastinating or ignoring! You deal with the problem at hand then move on to the next phase of staying alive. If you cannot do that, then you can bet that your chances of staying alive until help arrives are probably limited.
