How To Survive

Skills Beat Gadgets and Practicality Beats Style.
Search the web and you can find everything you need to become a survivalist. No way! Preparedness is not just about accumulating a pile of stuff. You need practical skills, and those only come with study, training, and practice. Any armchair survivalist can buy camouflage fatigues and an array of guns and accessories. Equipment should not be mistaken for genuine skills and practicality.

Tools Without Training Are Almost Useless.
Owning a gun doesn’t make someone a marksman any more than owning a skateboard makes someone a skateboarder (although there are an awful lot of posers out there). With proper training and practice, you will be miles ahead of the average citizen when you need to implement your survival skills. Get at least some basic medical training. Get the best firearms training that you can afford. Raise a vegetable garden each summer so you can become accustomed to growing your own food.

In the coming months I will discuss: food storage, bartering items, navigation, first aid kits, coping with critters, emergency backpack, how to start a fire without matches, and water treatment. I hope to supply you with all the information you need in order to survive both inside and outside of your home.
