I get to play first!! I would have to say that no matter what, stay as calm as possible so you can correctly assess the situation.
"When trouble strikes, be some place else". OK seriously..."Shut up and listen. You can not hear good advise over your own voice".
I'm going to have to go with "Listen, Learn, Practice, and Apply"
In the written words of Douglas Adams; "DON'T PANIC!"

Be at peace with God, Whatever you consider Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Hmm good ones so far.... Tryin to think of something that will help someone in as many diverse situations as possible , I'm gonna have to go with-
"don't panic, remain calm, assess the situation realistically, and act accordingly"

I don't believe in one single, ultimate, survival rule. There is a lot of things you have to know to survive. But as some very good rules have been said already I will go with this
K.I.S.S
Keep It Simple, Stupid.
(Stupid referring to me trying to do something I'm not sure how to do).
Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.
You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.
Be debt free if possible.

A lot of good ones take........seems most minds here think along the same lines.
So, how about, "Don't worry, be happy......your not getting out of life alive, anyway"

Know what you're getting yourself into.
Doing this may keep you from getting into that life or death situation, that you are not prepared for.

but honestly, stay calm and think before acting.
Be aware of your surroundings, stay alert. Eyes open, ears to the ground!
