Anyone who has been in the military has probably heard this over and over again.
"Stay Alert, Stay Alive."
This could not have been a better motto for a possible catostrophic scenario. Your ability to be alert and ready for whatever the situation throws at you (or atleast ready to adapt to it) WILL be a defining factor in your overall survival of a situation.
From remembering if you closed that door to listening for out of place sounds, your mind is a tool of great worth. Besides, would you really go into that dark, death smelling building, with the sounds of shuffling going on inside with out thinking about it first? I know I would not!
Training for Situational Awareness is not easy to come by. Infact it could take years of military training or combat/survival situations for people to master or even really understand this concept.
Which is why I will do my best to give a few tips for learning such things, as the very few, and unreliable programs can be VERY expensive. Only to train you in what you could learn on your own if you knew where to start. Such as;
Open mouth, Close eyes and Listen. Scent recognition. Using your fingers to "see".
Those are all major practices for situational awareness and I will, in future blogs, put up some exorcises and tools in which to help you all practice this art so that you too will Stay Alert, Stay Alive.
My Next Blog Will Be A List On A Bug Out Bag!!! Items That Every Suvivalist Should Have In A Bug Out Bag and/or Garage or House Incase Things Go Bad! So If You Are Curious About It! Stay Tuned!!!
Be Safe!
