Ian McCallum’s seven rules of nature

1. Be awake, be alert and be aware.

2. See before you’re seen, hear before you’re heard and smell before you’re smelt.

3. Assume nothing. Expect anything.

4. Never underestimate the other.

5. Avoid unnecessary conflict.

6. If you are drawn into conflict, know exactly what it is you’re defending.

7. Be kind.
