Dave,
From a thesis perspective, “well documented” and “most important” may be a liberal choice of words on my part. The statement comes from my review of numerous survivor accounts over the years. I’ll grant that survivor interviews don’t necessarily stand up to scientific research standards. Perhaps I can get a huge government grant to study the concept Thanks for the comment!

If it is “well documented that the will to live is the single most important factor in survival” then why can’t I find any peer reviewed articles on the subject.

I agree that folks need a disaster plan, however this article is focused more on a backwoods survival situation. Still need a basic plan, but preparation and training are the key.

Acording t me for disaster you shold have disaster contingency plan. Disaster contingency plan is an anticipatory emergency plan to be followed in an expected or eventual disaster, based on risk assessment, availability of human and material resources, community preparedness, local and international response capability, etc.
