Pilot Survival

Do you ever feel the need to test your survival instinct?
Every day when I wake up I hope for a major disaster (I prefer it be natural even though man made are so much more catastrophic) to happen that would test my ability to survive. Whenever I walk into a public place (like the mall, bank, retail store) I hope someone attempts to rob it at gun point. Or when I fly, I wouldn’t really mind if the pilot needed to crash land in a hostile environment. I guess I think life is too boring. It’s not that I don’t try to live an exciting life. I’ve been skydiving, took flying lessons, I go snowboarding and surfing and I have a good social life, I guess I just bore easily.
One thing that comes to mind are the “manhood” tests boys must complete in order to become men in certain cultures.
Dude I know exactly what you mean!
I’m considering starting a company/organization that teaches people how to survive in the wild, as most of this ability has been lost through generations of living in convenient urban environments… I’m just not sure what kind of demand there would be for such a program/product…
Your question gave me hope/inspiration… ask your friends… see who else would be interested! = )
