My good friend JustABear at Canampreppers.net suggested I may want to add Assess to my topic. That is a great idea. Before we have to Adapt. Improvise. Overcome. We need to assess.
Assess what you may ask??
First, this assessment is on going. As things change, so should your assessment. Review often and adapt.
Assess:
The Situation
Your Skills
Your Experience
Your Knowledge
Your Available Resources (such as - food, water, tools, supplies, fuel, shelter, etc.)
Threats
Risks
Known Hazards
Options
Plans
Routes
Communication
Then Identify:
Realistic Solutions
Required Resources
Required Skills
Make a PLAN!!!
ACTION your Plan!!!
Review.
