Mental preps, mental toughness, mental attitude etc. Half the battle to survive depends on the bodily health.. but the other half is the mind, which is rarely mentioned. If you're obsessive or nit-picky about detail and driven to have the best/most/biggest/dearest in all things ... then
you are going to have problems if things ever do get bad for you. (This also applies to more than just TSHTF scenarios, this encompasses unemployment, repossession, etc etc.) Strength comes in many guises, as does courage.
It is no use whatsoever knowing how to catch, kill, gut and cook every animal known to man if you're unable to greet each dawn with a smile and appreciate the sky, the birds, and the sun. Cos one day you'll end up shooting yourself instead of the dinner. Just look up suicide statistics on gamekeepers/ farm workers who live remote and have guns..
So dont forget to savour the day, to widen your outlook, to laugh often and to see the songbirds as neighbours as well as lunch!
