I'll give one last shot about what we know and what you're asking to learn - and I'll keep it pretty low speed - something you can relate to.
Deals with SURVIVAL.
We survive because thats just part of the job learned over years. Sometimes we end up in what would be a survival situation for most but for us it's just a night or two of SUCK. In fact we wouldn't even consider it survival.
Now you can go off on some adventure land survival course and learn a lot about shelters, making fire and catching food- but did you ever "LEARN" anything about survival?
The first rule is "Don't place yourself in a Survival situation". Most place themselves in that situation. The missteps continue to cascade until they are dead or are found.
You may know how to built a fancy bush shelter and rub two sticks together to get fire but if you keep walking until after sunset because it's raining and you think you'll get out - you'll end up with no shelter, no fire and hugging a tree to keep warm.
It's just not the same...
