Hey, /out/. I have dealt with anxiety for most of my life (at least since I was 8 or so). Recently, I've gained a lot of anxiety management skills, but it also occurred to me that much of my fear of others abandoning me (which is a major component of my anxiety) comes from a lack of confidence in my own competence in difficult situations.
I believe that by learning to handle worst-case scenarios, I may be able to develop more confidence in general.
I plan to do the following:
>continue working on distance running (doing couch to 5k right now, still getting in shape)
>get better at swimming
>maybe do some parkour or at least obstacle course training
>get re-certified in first aid and CPR
>learn escapology (escape artistry)
>take up boxing and maybe a grappling art (hey, you never know)
Besides the above, I would like to learn basic outdoor survival skills as well as general disaster preparedness, and learn how to fish, make traps, and otherwise find food in the wilderness.
I also would like to learn how to handle various human-related situations such as being mugged, attacked, or even kidnapped.
The stuff I greentexted above, I know how to learn for myself. As far as wilderness survival and handling disasters and emergencies, is there a book I should read? Should I take some kind of class?
Help me /out/ here.

Watch bear grills and that bear grills urban survival show. Then go in the woods, or get mugged, and see if it worked.

OP here. Thanks for the bump.

I hear playing Day Z is a great way to learn True Real Life Skills.

Parkour seems like a good way to injure yourself. Maybe the adversity of coming back from a broken wrist and blown out knee will give you the experience needed to overcome your anxiety.
Just go camping and you'll learn what skills you need and which ones are garbage. Get the sas survival guide to fulfill your apocalypse preparedness fantasy.

Get fucked and eat shit
In either order.

That's all good stuff OP but you also gotta talk to people.

>>902772
go camping until youre good at it.

I would definitely move escapology up to the top of your list. That is something every /out/er needs but is barely spoken of on this board.
Have you thought about learning how to make cord from natural sources (ferns, barks etc)? That would be important

>>903117
I doubt that. Might be a fun game, though. Haven't played it.
>>903127
If you ever have kids, are you going to forbid them to play sports?
>>903136
Been fucked. Shit is gross.
>>903286
I do that all the time.
>>903954
That's definitely part of the plan.

>learning how to make cord from natural sources (ferns, barks, etc)?
I need to learn the basic shit first. How to use a cord properly and for what seems more urgent, since I may have cord available, than learning to make it.
