"i love deep survival. i read it while i was on an internship in africa. i too think that people should read it before the other manuals, because all of the technical knowledge in the world doesn't mean anything if you blank in panic. deep survival shows you how situations come up unexpectedly, and how true survivors deal with the stresses of the situations. i feel like it changed my outlook on being in the backcountry, or anywhere that i might get into a dangerous situation"

I feel exactly the same way. Deep Survival drove home the idea that getting a grip on your emotions will help you more than worrying about whether you can, for example, trap an animal. Most things follow one another, that is, it is much easier to start a fire if you have your emotions in check rather than some helter skelter rush to get a fire lit.
