Survival

Hawke believes that everyone inherently has the will to survive in them—and a good start to develop that will is to study and "get some dirt time."  Likewise, he believes that no one "owns" survival; it is there for everyone and should be embraced.   He knows people have different needs and learn in different ways.

To this end, Mykel Hawke has a group of friends who are dedicated teachers and practitioners of the Art of Survival.   One may let price or location drive a decision to select an instructor but Mykel recommends looking for someone who:

1. Teaches what you seek.  Example: Seek out an Arctic Survival Expert if you live in the cold, or plan to travel to or work in those regions.

2. Teaches the way you best learn.  Example: If you do better learning with books first, or classroom, or hands-on, or prefer to go straight to the field, then find a course that fits your needs.

3. Has the attitude to which you best respond.  Example: Seek out a hard-core Drill Sergeant type if you need to be pushed, or a calm spiritual person if you are self-driven.
