Should be #1. Have a strong faith in God (morals, memorize bible verses, prayers, songs, and have a hope for heaven)

“1.Grow vegetables from seeds.”

Seeds, dirt, and water do not equal a producing food plant. If you haven’t done it before successfully, you will likely fail. I think Johnny will back me up as he is the one who told me and he was right.

When I was a kid I was deadly accurate with a sling shot. I think I’ll make one and see if I’ve still got it.

First on my list would be to live in an area where food and climate are of little or no concern.
Many of the NG Prepper examples seem to consist of those who live in God awful areas where it is too hot,dry,cold,desolate, or whatever.
The southeast would be my prime US living location, where there are good people, resources, and a minimum of extremes.
Even the cost of living in the US is becoming a serious problem for many.

One should also bone up and be knowledgeable of international travel and locations. Always have a valid passport, even if you have no plans to use it. Study life in other countries.
Central and northwest South America are now booming with American expats. Internet sites such as www.internationalliving.com and Escapefromamerica.com are souces of information.
I am now living my retirement years as an international explorer.

“Make a fire and know fire safety”

Everyone should know at least two or three ways to make a fire without matches.

While some may argue as to the completeness of this list, or if some things should have been included that were not, I have a more pressing question:

For those who have not been trained by military or other professionals in such matters, where can one look to find out such things when one has not been instructed in them beforehand and therefore unable to pass on such knowledge?

How to properly plant and fuse an m18 claymore for maximum destructive effect.

[Washi]

That's a good list, but those are 32 BIG items that would take a long time to learn.

I don't know of any "child", not even in scouting, with this breadth of knowledge.

I was a Life scout and spent four years in the Army. I'm probably at 60%-70% for this list.
