One of the reasons why there is no "one size fits all" solution for survival, is that no two survival situations are alike. But that's nothing compared to the fact there is no "one size fits all" survivalist. Each of us is an individual and each of us has our own circumstances to worry about. While there may be a considerable amount of similarity across the board, there are always special circumstances that each of us must consider how we'll deal with. As I grow older, I've had to change many of my attitudes about survival. Part of that is...

One of the major disasters that people are still talking about is the likelihood of a financial collapse. While it hasn't happened as soon as some have predicted, that doesn't mean that it's not coming. In fact, the threat seems to keep looming larger and larger, as we all wait for it to come.

You grab your bug out bag and jump into your truck, trying to beat the crowd of other people who are going to be trying to get out of town too. Following your pre-planned route, you avoid the traffic bottlenecks and make it out of town. The only question now is... Where are you going to go? Bugging out requires exquisite planning and a lot of practice. But even with all that, there's a key ingredient that's missing for most of us. That's a destination. Way...

Let’s suppose for a minute that you’re forced to bug out. There’s been a breakdown of society and things are getting rough. Some people suspect that you’ve got food and other supplies, so they attacked your home. Rumors are that they’re coming back again, and this time, they’re bringing a lot more people with them. Sounds like an ideal time to get out of Dodge, before your home becomes overwhelmed. There’s just one thing… you can’t drive. There’s no gas for the cars and the roads are blocked anyway. So, you’ve got to go on foot. Good thing you’ve got...
