Why is most of the “conventional wisdom” WRONG when it comes to surviving a total collapse? Because it mostly boils down to “buy more gear.” And all the gear in the world isn’t enough if you’re making the “conventiona/ wisdom” of survival. Ultimately, your ability to survive a collapse scenario won’t come down to a gadget from an online “guru”… …it’s about core characteristics inside you. You have to cultivate them. Don’t get me wrong, having “bullets, beans and Band-Aids” on hand is great and can save your life. But the “three Bs” won’t help much if you haven’t mastered the “three Ss” Spirit… the right mindset to keep your wits about you when catastrophe strikes. Skills… the right set of know-how to deal with the unique challenges presented by a collapse scenario. Strategy… a plan for what you’re going to do when disaster comes knocking on your door… and another plan for when that plan fails. Best of all, mastering the “three Ss” is simple, costs nothing and anyone can do it, whether you’re 70 years old and using a cane to get around or you’re 20 years old and moving into your first apartment in a new city. So no matter how much you think you know about survival in a collapse environment, this week’s podcast is designed to help you look at the mistakes you might be making with fresh eyes, regardless of whether you’ve been interested in this stuff for 20 days or 20 years.
