Wilderness survival guides consistently deem the will to live as the most important factor for overcoming a wilderness emergency. Knowledge, skill, and equipment are always considered as secondary. However, survival guides rarely devote more than a sentence to the subject. Their authors say little if anything about what the will to live is or how to get one, preferring instead to discuss skills and gear exclusively. The assumption is that you either have the will to live or you do not. For many of us, especially those with PTSD or similar afflictions, the will to live cannot be taken for granted. The wilderness itself provides much of what is necessary to construct a will to live.
This book is not a conventional survival guide. Wilderness Wisdom: Foundation of the Will to Live discusses the components that make up a will to live and the deeper foundations that make having one possible. We then take a look at the heroic journey and the inner workings of how wilderness heals. By using less gear and older techniques without compromising safety, those whose life is a daily struggle can discover and connect with their inner foundations for survival.
Wilderness Wisdom: Foundation of the Will to Live provides tools to survive not just in the wilderness, but back in the city as well.
