Summary/Abstract: Survival is a type of human activity that takes place in dangerous extreme situations. The Global factors of the situations are the danger and difficulty that are mutually determined. An integral function of danger is the risk, and the difficulty is the effort. As the level of danger and difficulty increases, the adaptation to the growing activity is disrupted. With a very high degree of danger, the probability of loss of life increases considerably, and the need for survival arises. For this purpose it is necessary to form an adequate readiness for survival, which structure is built by mental, physical, technical and tactical readiness.
