Jedi Survival – 4 Jedi Tips to survive any situation

Lead Story
May the Force be with you….. Here are 4 Survival Tips from Star Wars to help you become a Jedi Survivalist……
1. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force. – Darth Vader
GPS devices, Laser Scopes, and a myriad of other high tech devices are great, but when compared to true survival skills and primitive knowledge they mean nothing. When it comes down to it , devices break, batteries fail, and everything corrodes, but true knowledge and and the will to survive can help you through any situation. Train, prepare and trust your gut.
2. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. – Yoda
To be an expert in the art of survival requires constant training, preparation and commitment. Take time everyday to study, read and practice your survival skills.
3. Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things. - Yoda
Adventure and excitement have there place, but in a survival situation keeping a level head and thinking before you act equals staying alive. Despite what some popular so called survival shows depict, survival is not glamorous and it’s not a time to take stupid chances with your life. Think, Analyze your situation, then act.
4. Artoo says that the chances of survival are 725 to 1. Actually Artoo has been known to make mistakes… from time to time… Oh dear C-3p0
Don’t let statistics get you down, the will to survive is a powerful thing. Ernest Shackleton’s & the crew of the endurance, Steven Callahan’s dramatic story of survival at sea, many of the great survival stories all have one thing in common, men overcoming impossible odds and surviving because they never lost the will to survive.

I love it! What a great movie to relate the subject of survival too.
Yoda Quote 1: “Do or do not… there is no try.”
Yoda Quote 2: “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Thanks for the great post.

Loved it… I might add that Obi-Wan Kenobi had a line (was it in Episode II?) that said:
“The first rule of being a Jedi: Survive!”
Thanks, Jedi Writer!

Just because you publish a kick ass website doesn’t mean I won’t call you a nerd for posting this!
