You've got it.

Attitude in a survival situation is the key to getting through something like Sandy, or Katrina a few years back.

...and these skills that the OP poo-pooed are very helpful in developing that attitude.

I have that attitude, it was instilled by my dad, and my own experiences going out into the back of beyond on backpacking trips. I may not survive something like Sandy, or Katrina, but it won't be because I curled up and gave up. They'll find me leaning against a rock or tree with my middle finger raised to the world...
