THE basic skill

[Sam McMichael]

No matter what skill we are working on, the most basic requirement is to get your head out of... ugh... that dark place and think. How many times have I had to remind myself of this "skill"?

[Elkchaser]

so true. I think this is the demise of many people. Most people know HOW to survive until help arrives, but you need to remain calm and remind yourself that you know how.
