In one comment on my previous article I received an excellent comment (thanks Nick!) about what lessons he learned while going through Hurricane Irma, and how that event change some of his views about prepping.<\/p>\n
He got the points that I wrote about for long time ago, and I still repeat it from time to time, it has to be repeated because you see it as my words only, and most of the people will understand it only in the \u00a0proper way after<\/strong> they experience some serious event, only then you can put it in correct perspective.<\/p>\n Nothing like real life experience learning.<\/p>\n And there is nothing wrong about changing your (survival) system, I do that too when I figure that something works better then plan (or equipment) that I have.<\/p>\n If you are prepper for years and you did not change your setup and plan from day one of your prepping until now, then usually something is wrong with your philosophy.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>I think it was on some forum or in some blog comments, discussion was about some particular weapon as far as I remember, and some guy said like \u201e (when SHTF) on a good day I can shoot (kill)…\u201c<\/p>\n In that short statement (\u201eon a good day\u201c) is condensed one of the biggest mistakes about prepping in survival movement.<\/p>\n There is not too many good days when SHTF. It is simple like that.<\/p>\n In short people are prepping based on imaginary perspective how SHTF gonna look, and that alone is not problem (you do not necessary have to go through serious SHTF event in order to be good prepper-survivalist), problem is that people stick so hard to their imaginary perspective of how SHTF gonna look like, and what they need for it, that they are simply not willing to change their plans.<\/p>\n They are sure.<\/p>\n Whenever I read that someone change his plans based on his experience and thinking and that he recognize that in my articles or courses where he was wrong I feel great.<\/p>\n By the way, on a good day you can sit down and shoot 6 magazines from AK in 5 minutes and shoot 5 people who wants to break in your home while you are singing \u201eHey Joe\u201c without too much problems.<\/p>\n You are fed, secured, comfortable, warm, healthy, probably police gonna come in 10 minutes, you’ll get professional psychological help later, maybe you end up in local newspaper as a hero…<\/p>\n On a ordinary day during real collapse, chances are that you’ll be tired from days and nights of not sleeping well, more or less hungry, maybe you gonna have weird and painful infection in your groin from lack of proper hygiene and serious case of diarrhea, your younger kid having pneumonia and of course doctors are gone, and your friend who is a veterinarian gave you some pills and you are not sure is it working, your wife had nervous breakdown and you do not have clue what to do with her…<\/p>\n You were listening to screams from town for weeks while gangs were killing and raping, and your bones melted from horror.<\/p>\n Several times strange idea of killing your family and then yourself struck your mind, because listening to screams for weeks put pictures of what kind of things are happening there, and you can not cope with that pictures.<\/p>\n And then there are 5 people attacking your home, they even yell that they gonna spare all of you if you give them all your preps, but you’re thinking about screams, but still maybe they spare you…<\/p>\n It is definetly not your \u201egood day\u201c.<\/p>\n You need to hope for good days when SHTF, but you need to be prepared for bad days when SHTF.<\/p>\n It is equation that takes in consideration your skills, preps, event, circumstances… and given heat (SHTF).<\/p>\n If you show me man who can have all prepared perfectly well for any kind of possible scenario I will bow to him, but, in my mind, it is simply impossible.<\/p>\n If you understand that then you’ll understand two things:<\/p>\n -you’ll need constantly to adapt to the given situation<\/p>\n -you’ll have bad days and fails<\/p>\n\u201eOn a Good Day I can…\u201c<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
