I did see this incredible story on the news . Survival Skills are so important to learn.  I am convinced this girl survived because her father taught her to survive.

She did a great  job.  Headed to the closest house and got help!  They are never too young to hear about survival

IMHO, this little girl may have survived not so much because of her survival skills, but maybe more because of her survival attitude/mind set.  Even if a person has a vast array of survival skills, they will be useless in a crisis if they aren't supported by a strong will to adapt, persevere and survive, not to mention a strong sense of independence.  Apparently, this little girl's father has somehow imparted all of these things to her.  We could all benefit by knowing how he did it. 

To me attitude and mindset is just part of survival skills.  This little girl obviously had the determination to keep on going.  You notice it said she had to cross a 12 foot deep creek bed and the area was described as almost impassable.  I bet her father often told her to never give up.  And she had the skill to light a stick from the airplane fire to use as a torch.  I read in another account that she saw a light and walked toward it.  So she obviously had skill and attitude/mindset.

I would be interested to know what other members consider to be important parts of survival skills.  For example, would you consider physical fitness a part of survival skills?  (I know I would.)   How about an excellent sense of direction?  I have a lousy sense of direction and wonder if it can be improved.  An excellent memory for environmental features you have passed as you make your way....is that a survival skill, and can it be enhanced?  If so, how?  Any contributions to this discussion will be appreciated, especially if they are backed up by personal experiences.
