Prepare your mind

13/11/2013

 
The most important tool you need for preparing for survival is your mind


You need to sharpen your mind in many areas in order to survive anything from having a broken down car on an empty road to a catastrophic situation that some people are talking about like a zombie apocolypse, a WW3 scenario, an economic colapse, etc.


I don't have a crystal ball that tells me what the future will look like over the next 50 years so I have no idea what will happen next week, let alone next year. What you are preparing for is not my concern, my concern is that I help you get to your goal.


There are very few people that are born with the ability to keep their mind as cool as a meat freezer in the South Pole. For the rest of us, staying calm under extreme pressure is a learned ability. Experience is the best teacher.


Just like many of us had to learn not to panic in a swimming pool so we can learn how to swim or ride a bike without falling over, we must expose ourselves to stressful scenarios a little at a time so we can learn to adapt and overcome.


In my experience, the worst thing people can do in a survival scenario is complain. By complaining, all anyone is doing is wasting precious time. 9 times out of 10, the person complaining (when asked) has no idea what to do to improve the current situation. DO NOT COMPLAIN


Just work on solving the problem. If you're cold, building a fire. If you're hot, find shade. 


Doing something is better than doing nothing.


To start, you need to crawl, walk, and then run.


For example:
-Crawl: Research methods of how to build fires without the aid of propane, matches, or lighter


-Walk: Build a fire in a CONTROLLED environment such as a fireplace, a fire pit, or even better a survivalist fire building course


-Run: Go camping and safely build your own fire with your new found skill(s). Exhaust all your contingent fire building skills before resorting to use matches or a lighter or gas.


Let's work together to become survival experts! Have Fun!
