Deep Survival
Hi folks, after talking to someone about the tragic death of the woman in this thread I commented on what I thought of the circumstances. I commented that two flat tyres do not make a life or death situation. There was no need to assume the vehicle was useless. I pointed out a car can be driven on three wheels and a flat. Sure the tyre would be destroyed and later the wheel too, followed by suspension and body damage. But it was not yet a life or death situation. They didn't calm down and think it through. They made a decision which put them in a real life and death situation. OK, the point is not the accuracy of my comments in this situation, rather the reply of the other. He recommended, as I do now also, Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales. This is proving to be a very interesting book about why some survive and others do not. It gives the psychological reasons involved in our decisions. I think many Hubbers would enjoy this well written book. Keep going , even if tyred, Linzi.
