Good article on how a lot of the battle for survival is fought in your own mind.

The recent issue of handgunner has a good read on getting cart before the horse regarding survival / prepper shopping and education and skill sets etc ...such as this threads subject.
John Connor at Handgunner magazine relates how folks who didn’t think it ALL out almost died.

"The things you carry in your head are more important than anything you might carry on your back.
Not really.
If you don't have clean water, food, shelter and warmth...and a firearm when you need it...what's in your head will benefit you little.

As I look out the window over the top of my computer screen, I can see 12 Boy Scout tents out in the field beyond my property. They're camping out there tonight in 26 degree weather.
Somehow, that's comforting.

Rule 1, lots of bullets and hooks as all game rules will be off.

Recently an older friend of mine who is a city dweller shocked me with his urban survival knowledge. I asked him how he learned all of that info. He said “Quit reading novels and started reading survival manuals.” How simple is that? He gained a great deal of knowledge in one year simply by switching out what he read.
I turned him on to your manual. It is his current reading.
