Don't neglect the survival training

When prepairing for disaster survival, while prepairing your survival kits, don’t forget about the survival training. This will help you in day by day activities as well, it’s a nice way to stay in shape and always be prepaired and can someday change your life.

But what does survival training refer to ? It usually consists of three main parts:

• The first part is all about knowing your equipment, knowing how to use each one of your tools, when to use it, what to pack when evacuation is imminent and what to pull out of your backpack when a given obstable stands in your way. You should train at opening cans, starting a fire, bandaging a wound, pulling your pocket weapon for defense, making a shelter and so forth. Doing these actions fast and with ease will save you precious time in a disaster scenario.


• The second part of the survival training is prepairing for a scenario in which you don’t have survival gear at your disposal. Learn to survive in nature, use the terain, find tools to make a fire, hunt, make a shelter and so on. A disaster isn’t always announced, so you can’t be 100% sure you will get to your survival kit in time. It’s vital for you to train for outdoors survival.


• The third part of the training consists of the physical training. Persons with good body muscles can defend better, carry shelter items to the camp, hunt better and so forth. Also the agility is very important. There are scenarios in which running will be the only solution, so train your legs too. When training your body also train your mind. Learn how not to lose focus. Be prepaired to automotivate yourself. There might be no one there to do it for you.

Try to talk your family into training for survival with you. Don’t think that you will always protect your family. Think that there is a possibility for the family to split up. Don`t deny their chance of survival and teach your loved ones everything they need to know to survive.

A good example of what survival training can do for you is Bear Grylls. Everything that he does was practiced on and on, and I bet that you would like to be next to him when a disaster occurs.

Don’t be overconfident and try training on a daily basis if it is possible. Do some periodic drills and if you want a fun way to check your training, take your family in camping trips. Take everything you need with you but try to use as few items as possible from your survival gear.

Also don’t forget to try the long shelter life food from your pack. You really don`t want to find yourself in disaster scenario where the food in disgusting. Don’t forget: You don’t get a bonus for the lack of comfort.

Keep training for your survival, and do it in a fun way. Make nature your friend and you will be one step closer to surviving a disaster.
