Survival- the Rules Therefore the Methods Were NOT Developed by the Military

I have very little interest in ANY military survival tactics--because the military did not invent any SURVIVAL  tactics. The job of the military--the job of the soldier is to KILL and to make sure that others do not live. On the other hand, indigenous peoples, world round, have been inventing and developing SURVIVAL-- to make sure that people DO live-- methods ever since the HUMAN species evolved. The "Mother" provided all things necessary to SURVIVE-- but all man really had to do was pay attention: look, listen, and learn. Survival is not about destruction, nor is it about building--it is about filling a niche--adhering to Mother's laws, so that all may live--all may survive. When I use the word all,  I'm not only talking about man, I'm not only talking about this planet earth -- I am talking about all of Mother's creation.All too often lately, I see men and women, dressed in army surplus, camouflage uniforms, practising hand to hand combat manoeuvres,or rapid fire with a semi-automatic side arm, or is some cases using an actual assault weapon. I see young people playing video games supposedly based on fire-fight situations.These people claim they are training for SURVIVAL.This is not survival training--it is combat training--focused on death, destruction and killing. This is training to be a soldier in war-fare--the very opposite of survival training which teaches how to live--NOT HOW TO DIE.

THE MILITARY SIMPLY ADOPTED--OFTEN VERY POORLY--TACTICS, AND PRINCIPLES, THAT ALREADY EXISTED AND THAT WERE IN COMMON USE.
The old hand-book DOWN BUT NOT OUT, used by the RCAF and RAF, contained actual SURVIVAL,  INFORMATION--how to stay alive--some adopted from ancient methods, some--especially COLD WEATHER SURVIVAL--adopted (taken-if anyone ever had a copyright on this material, it would be the Inuit) from the methods used by Canada's Inuit--previously known only to them (traditionally,they did not get along well with Canada's other indigenous peoples, so the information was not commonly shared).

THE METHODS I HAVE POSTED ARE NOT MILITARY ORIENTATED, THEY ARE INTENDED TO ALLOW YOU TO COPE WITH AND SURVIVE A NATURAL DISASTER; OR WHENEVER YOU FIND YOURSELF IN ANY SURVIVAL SITUATION.
