Today I want to ask you one very important question…
WHY?
Because without a clear answer to THIS question,
What happens with times get tough?
Without a clear reasons to WHY, things get fuzzy when your hungry,
So let’s talk a bit more about WHY we prepare.
Let me guess – you were born in a first word country.
But at this point in your mid-life, you’re likely to be responsible for others.
Perhaps you have a family to look after.
Someone who relies on YOU to provide.
Never really considering the fact that the modern society in which we live in is a fragile proposition at best.
We’re living in the modern age and technology and progress will win out, right?
Perhaps you have access to quality healthcare, air-conditioning, unlimited electric power, and natural gas.
Sure, on average, you have a few days worth of food in the house.
And you’ve never worried about keeping more than that, right?

Why? Because American grocery stores are always full.
In your limited experience – this is the natural order of things.
Now, suddenly, after a couple of decades of working, earning, voting, and observing, you’re starting to worry.
Maybe it’s the trillion-dollar debt everyone said was unsustainable when you were a kid is now over $30 trillion (and counting)!
Some people still say that it’s unsustainable but it’s just getting worse FASTER now.
But what worries you most is the people in power do not use those words anymore.
You have started asking yourself questions like:
You suddenly realize you have a family that looks to you for protection.
For shelter, food, water, heat, and clothing – and you realize,
I have no idea how to provide any of these things when SHTF!
You decide it’s time to investigate and learn some survival skills.
While there is still time and electrical power to run the Internet.
The first thing one must ask oneself is simple:
It seems like a silly question, doesn’t it?
Of course, I want to survive…really?
So if you survived the exchange of thermonuclear weapons – our cities, our infrastructure, our society is completely destroyed and poisoned with radioactive fallout.
Do you want your family to survive and thrive amongst the rubble?
I don’t want to discourage anyone from wanting to live.
But considering all possibilities is a good exercise nonetheless.
This brings us to the second group of questions:
When your children are starving, sick on polluted water sources, and desperately in need of nutrition:
No, of course not, you say! I have morals!
You want to be a kinder, gentler, more civilized prepared survivalist.
This is very noble of you.
But keep in mind starving people are NOT civilized.
I’m not saying one has to break laws and moral codes to survive.
But if that is where you draw the line, it’s best to realize that right now.
Some will break the laws and moral codes to get what they need and will try to take what YOU have.
The nature of the hostility is what differentiates a survival scenario.
Maybe the hostility is rooted in climate?
The common factor here is the word extreme.
Which may not be as extreme as you think…
In many parts of the country, we transit through deadly conditions daily – for brief moments.
But have the luxury of “going inside and getting a cold glass of water or a hot cup of coffee.”
What if that transit is not so brief?
What about the three hundred-mile drive across Nevada on Highway 50 – the Loneliest Road in America?
Hostility could manifest itself in wildlife, venomous snakes, wolves, sharks, lions, tigers, and bears.
If we are alone in a survival situation, we have many factors to consider and overcome.
However, what if the scenario is not just you or your family?
What if everyone is trying to survive?
Now you must compete with others to survive.
You must navigate confrontation with their most dangerous game:
Your Fellow Man.
All animals in nature have a survivalist instinct.
They know how to acquire food, water, and shelter.
They survive bitter cold, sweltering heat, blizzards, and thunderstorms.
Unfortunately, the survival instinct is no longer a human instinct.
The will to survive may be an instinct, but we are not.
Whereas the deer, bear, and rabbit are born hard-wired to survive in the wild.
For Preppers…Survival Skills Must Be Learned.
Real survival is less about skill sets than it is about decision-making.
Water acquisition, fire starting, and building shelters are basic.
Skills are important, but decision-making determines how you employ those skills – or don’t employ them.
Each survival situation is unique, fluid, and dynamic.
More people have died making poor decisions than those who lacked a certain skill.
Getting your mind right about survival is the first step to making good decisions.
And a little advance planning doesn’t hurt, either.
Now how are you going to acquire the necessary skills?
