Why did it take her 5 minutes to escape? The trunk of my car has a handle on the inside.

Before you get loaded into a trunk make a particular point to fight to the death.

With pretty much everything I have seen in the past, by the time a trend makes it to ABC (and the mainstream in general) it is a passing fad and has worked it’s way to self-parody. I hope that is not the case with survivalism.

First Aid, food storage and prep, improvised shelter, general situational awareness skills, marksmanship and tactical training, etc., are important skill sets that anyone should have.

If you are learning to get out of handcuffs in the trunk of a car, I would assume you have all the other basics covered. Frankly, I can’t imagine a scenario wherein I or my assailants would be alive to put put me in the damn trunk to begin with.

People used to make fun of “survivalist” in the 1970’s. Why? I have no idea—in grade school we were indoctrinated for years with “air raid drills”. Hell, we never practiced one TORNADO drill—even though we had them, but we sure practiced for the raining down of USSR warheads. Then all of a sudden, if you tried to prepare—like some folks in the 70s, you were a quack.

Now they tell us that “bearded people living in caves and rags on their heads” are gonna get us. But you’re not supposed to be prepped for this too, apparently.
