Survival research is the study of techniques and strategies that individuals can use to stay alive in dangerous or extreme situations, such as natural disasters, wilderness emergencies, or other life-threatening scenarios. This area of research often focuses on skills such as building shelter, finding clean water, obtaining food, navigation, first aid, and self-defense. Survival research also encompasses knowledge of psychology, physiology, and human behavior in high-stress situations. The ultimate goal of survival research is to increase people's chances of surviving and thriving in challenging circumstances.
