Practical skills can be learned in all kinds of unlikely places—including this guide to jungle survival for those who have parachuted or crash landed into hostile and unfamiliar environments. Maybe that hasn't happened to you (yet...?), but nevertheless, there’s a lot of great anecdotal thinking and helpful information to be found here, like the importance of "determination to survive," "common sense & initiative," "discipline," and "ability to learn from your mistakes." Makes sense to us! Apply as you see fit to real-life scenarios you encounter, even if you don't plan to be stranded in the jungle any time soon.
