Re: Greetings from East Sussex!

Welcome! It's great that you joined UKP as your first forum! Having the basics in place, and an emphasis on first aid, sounds really sensible - and I think we need to pay a lot more attention to the psychological aspects.

Re: 3 sources of fuel.

Re: Self defence and self awareness

I have a pitiful amount of training in self defence, nothing like you're describing, Danny, but I like that list - and the last one on there has never occurred to me, checking for injuries - a very good point about adrenaline masking what's happened to you. Avoidance is crucial, isn't it, even in or...
