Taking survival training to the next level, looking at lessons from survival 101 and going a little more indepth. This video from Garand Thumb goes through the process of combat survival training. Diving deeper into things like navigating landscape and how to do so, communications, finding the proper place to find shelter and how to build an effective one, how to make a fire, personal hygiene, taking care of yourself and your equipment, food, water and lots more.

This is a great intro into wooded area survival and basics. There's a few things I like in this video on what gear was useful, what was unnecessary, and what they should have brought. Plus covering a bit on what is needed, preparations you should take, and the conditions you could face in a survival/ primal camping situation.This was similar conditions to what it would be like in the foothills and lower elevation mountains in Colorado. Why is this useful information to know? When are you ever going to need to do this? Great questions, but in the event that your house is no longer a safe space to be, you're on I70 heading up the mountain pass and get caught in a blizzard and you're stuck with roads shut down, civil war, terrorist attacks, evacuation because of natural disasters, road trip and your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. There are many situations that you can find yourself in that being prepared is the matter of life and death. The most important thing to know is the area you're going to be near. You would pack differently for a trip to the Rocky Mountains then you would to the Everglades of South Florida. Understanding the climate, terrain, area conditions, water, animals, foliage, ect. Being familiar with the area is going to give you an edge over adversities of being stuck in a poor situation. Knowing what you're up against, how to navigate through the terrain, and having some simple tools and supplies can be the difference in you making it out.

John Eldredge's podcast covers the importance of not missing out on the intimacy with God and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Knowing God and spending time with Him daily in communication, prayer, relationship, are two completely different things. Jesus calls us friends, do you consider God your friend? Do you treat Him like one? https://spotify.link/czOoNTgrCJb

Often times when we think of protecting ourselves we go right to a home invasion, a robbery, or an active shooter. The truth is you can find yourself fighting for your life over the most ridiculous things, for example over a parking space. This is one of thousands of videos on how road rage can escalate way out of hand real quick. There are many lessons to take away from this the most important being don't engage in road rage, be a man, be self controlled, and let it go. Secondly don't leave home without your tools so you can make it home another day. In the words of our brother Keith Gensor, if it's not worth dieing over, let it go!
