How To Save Your Life – Make A Survival Plan
What You Forget in Your Contingency Plan Can Kill You
At the first sign of danger, your body reacts. Drivers braking in front of you scream “Stop!” and your body reacts unconsciously. But ‘do something now or die later?’ - that’s harder to accept. I don’t want to take free time for a survival contingency plan and neither do you. Rethink: Look at the headlines – there are multiple red lights in front of humanity:
- The End of Cheap Goods
- Radicals
- 2012 Disasters
- U.S. Monetary Collapse
- Violent Wind Storms
- Pandemics
Involve your family and friends – Create a Survival Contingency Plan by launching into action as soon as you are done with this article.
God vs The Gov vs The Boy Scounts
Who do you trust your luck or contingency plan to? I pray to The Universe that nothing bad happens to my family and friends, but I was a Cub Scout. Be Prepared. Look up “Katrina” and tell me you expect the government to arrive when you need it.
Here is the Most Powerful Survival Lesson: We Are Responsible for Our Lives. Trust me on this last point. The government has no Contingency Plan to assist you specifically. It could be days or weeks before help arrives. If you live by faith, remember an old adage, “God helps those who help themselves.”
Ying – Yang is the answer to the question “How Should I Approach Contingency Planning?”
When making a contingency plan, Find a Sane Balance! When some folks finally realize, “You couldn’t last a week without utilities,” they very often panic.
Lesson Two: in a Crisis, Panic Can Kill You and Everyone You Love. Ouch! Can you learn to balance enjoying every day life – but actively build a set of survival skills and gear – without losing touch with Friends & the Beauty of Life? Ying – Yang appears because to learn survival skills, you will get back in touch with true nature.
I Don’t Want to Think About Sad Things.
Sure – death can be a sad subject. Our Most Powerful Lesson says, “We Are Responsible.” A simple example: You and your best friend are in a car wreck on a deserted road. Your friend is badly hurt. First Aid is whose duty? Yours! Then who should take at least a basic first aid class? Car, Health, Homeowners and Life insurance present only a few ways that responsible people make a contingency plan for possible disasters. Since you might be on a lonely road with a friend, — or in an Earthquake, Terrorist attack, got it …? Check your local Red Cross for classes.
Use What You Know
Wisdom Teaches: Knowledge Without Action Is Wasted. Step One can be challenging – self evaluation. Honestly analyze your family’s situation. What do you know skill wise? fire starting, wood gathering, hunter, etc? How long could your family survive after a major crisis if the Utilities are gone? Your family’s sanitation disposal will be one of your major problems. You need a plan. Start with the Disaster Survival Checklist for guidance on getting the right gear.
