Survival Techniques from Janet Schlarbaum

It may seem like a weird thing to have in your survival kit, but a photo can actually do a lot to help you survive. Motivation is a powerful thing, many people who survived wilderness emergencies have said thinking of their loved ones kept them going.

Having a small photo in your kit of someone you love will give you the motivation you need to survive. Whenever you start to feel hopeless, pull out the picture of your kids, family or loved ones and you will have an added boost of mental energy.
