surviving
Survival skills are techniques that a person may use in order to sustain life in any type of natural environment or built environment. These techniques are meant to provide basic necessities for human life which include water, food, and shelter. These skills also support proper knowledge and interactions with animals and plants to promote the sustaining of life over a period of time. Survival skills are often associated with the need to survive in a disaster situation. Survival skills are often basic ideas and abilities that ancient people invented and used themselves for thousands of years.Outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, and hunting all require basic wilderness survival skills, especially in handling emergency situations. Survival skills are also often used by people living off-grid lifestyles such as homesteading. Their are also instances of survival skills being utilized by criminals, such as fugitives, draft dodgers, poachers, serial killers, illegal immigrants, escaped prisoners, organized criminals and terrorists that hideout in wilderness areas between the commission of crimes, to avoid capture by authorities. Additionally both park rangers and conservation officers are also taught survival skills, to help them find missing persons and in case they themselves become stranded while investigating wilderness crimes. The United States Armed Forces has a training program called SERE, in which military personnel, Department of Defense civilians, intelligence personnel, and private military contractors are taught survival skills, evading capture and techniques for escape from captivity, in the event that they need to survive and hideout in wilderness areas while avoiding capture by enemy combatants. Bushcraft and primitive living are most often self-implemented but require many of the same skills.
