Survival


Book Description

Survival: One of the most ancient instincts in human history. Every living being on this planet has the instinct to survive, though clearly within different contexts and scenarios. This instinct has allowed humanity to extend its existence, but over the centuries, we have neglected the potential that such a primitive instinct offers. Survival teaches us to relearn the fundamental basics of that primal instinct, which changed humanity from day one—an instinct that fed us, sheltered us, protected us, and even healed us when needed. As a living being on this planet, man possesses instinctive qualities yet to be fully understood, and by merely learning to interpret them, we could drastically improve our day-to-day life. These instincts are not only relevant in extreme situations, such as survival events, but can also be applied to our everyday lives, sharpening our senses and perceptions of the world around us. In this new edition of the Aeronautical Library, we will learn to survive with skill and technique, facing various possible scenarios. We will aim to equip ourselves with all the necessary tools to overcome any wild survival event. However, as we mentioned, survival is not only about staying alive under extreme conditions, but also thriving in our daily lives. This is another key objective of this manual: to provide us with tools that will enhance our everyday existence. Survival is our most primitive instinct and, at the same time, our most forgotten quality. Through the guidance of each chapter, we will recover these abilities and once again feel that the instinct for survival is alive within us.
