Survival mentality is a combination of skills that center around the core concept of keeping alive at any means necessary. It means being knowledgeable about how certain situations can be used to your advantage while others should be avoided at all costs.
This skill isn't something that you are born with–although some people are naturally better at it, as with any talent–it is cultivated with lots of practice of situational awareness and development of critical thinking skills.
