Having the proper frame of mind in a crisis is easily the most important factor to getting through it. Someone with a depressed mental attitude won't have the strength, mentally, to dig deep and push through the hard times to survive. For the most part your mental attitude is defined by your character itself as well as your environment but there is work that you can do to improve it.
In general survival the best thing you can do is simply practice. By putting yourself in mock situations you will feel far less panicked when it really happens. For example, to spend time hiking and camping would make being lost in the woods less stressful than it would to someone who doesn't spend much time in the woods. In the martial arts the same method applies. The more time you spend sparring makes actual confrontations easier to handle. As your skill improves your self esteem and confidence also improve. This leads to having a Black belt attitude.
Black belt attitude permeates into every part of life. If defines your character and makes critical decisions easier to make. A strong belief in who you are and what you are capable of will go a long way in staving off the "I quit" attitude.
SPEAR craft involves every part of life and allows for much more practice than simply mock survival situations. When you practice you feel more confident and less apt to panic in an emergency. So practice often. Small portions of training everyday will define your character and when you feel this new status or title you will be far more effective.
