Hey!
It's always been my dream to be a special forces operator, and so I'm gonna join try out for the Norwegian Special Forces (Hærens Jegerkommando) next fall. Problem is though, I'm not used to the mental or physical tests they put you through during the recruitment school. I guess I would be able to perform on an average level, but as they only choose 4-5% of the recruits, average is not by far good enough. They put you through all sorts of tests, among these, are survival tests in extreme cold weather conditions. All tests require a great deal of mental endurance and survival skills so I would be very greatful for some literature recomendations to prepare my self for the tests.
TL;DR
I need books on how to survive in temperate climates and on how to improve your psychological endurance
PS:
Please excuse terrible English... not my mother tongue

Being average will never make it.
