Animals that want to eat us, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, avalanches, violent storms, natural poisons found in plants and some animal skin and venom, bacteria, viruses, you name it, nature seems out to get us.

While we have made great strides in combating these threats, they pervade and are exacerbated under the stress of a survival situation.
