6 C's of survival

Study the area you are in. Are you in a dangerous situation where you need to move immediately or can you hunker down and think? What is going on around you? Listen to the sound of birds, the sound of nature, or other activities going on around you. Check your equipment, take a quick inventory and assess the condition of your supplies. Check yourself and if there are others with you, check them too. Is everyone okay? Does everyone have shelter, food water, or other necessities? If not, can you where will you get it?

SIZE UP THE SITUATION

Don’t react before you think, as this could cause you to make a mistake. Use all your senses to observe the area around you. Take note of sounds, smells, touch, taste, and even listen to your sixth sense. Plan and prepare and whenever possible, make a well thought out decision before you make your next move.

Do you have a map and compass? If so, use the compass and map to determine your exact location using terrain association and other navigation skills. Look around. Does anything look familiar? Are there any dangers that you are aware of? Where are the safe areas? Where is there water, shelter, food or other resources?
