Also with everyone and their mom teaching survival, prepping, and sustainable living it is not that hard to find a community that can teach you to be proficient in your local environment within 6 months. In a basic survival scenario this is great. However, what happens when you toss in the element of someone trying to harm. This is a curve ball that is very seldom trained for. I know of one group that is doing it all,.
This is the difference between a survival kit and a bug out kit. Bugging out means shit went south and people are trying to cause you real harm, where every day survival is just something goofy happens and you have to survive. Another way to think about this is survival means other humans will try and help you where Bugging Out means other humans will try and hurt you. Surviving versus Austere Survival.
This is applicable for urban and rural. Do you want it or need it. Does your stuff stand out or look like it belongs? Can you see your surroundings better than your surroundings can see you? The same applies to them in a building.
Folks put themselves into positions that if someone where to show up they would not be able to notice nor get away. You have to be able to see bad guys coming after you before they can see you. You have to have an escape plan, and you have to be able to observe flora, fauna, and wildlife for eating.
Keep most of your crap packed. It is packed. If you are naked in the river washing you better have it on your body! Defense, do you kill someone or a group that is hunting you or do you let them pass you by?
Building your shelter, if you build one make it look like everything else. Although keep it off your body. This will keep a heat signature from showing up on thermal imaging or greatly reduce it. Many times a bivy sack over a sleeping bag can lower heat signature but I would probably err on the side of caution and place some Mylar between my sleeping bag and the bivy sack.
Know that if you do that, you will sweat a lot. The other thing I try and do is sleep more in the day and less at night. Night time you can move about more freely. Dogs and human trackers in the woods will be able to find you. Stay on top of that. If you have to harm a dog tracking team and you have a weapon, kill the handler. Next set a trap to injure the dog. This can be a typical trap that you would set to catch any animal, it can also be an antipersonnel booby-trap that has a lighter trigger.
Everything is going as you thought and you get to work with that blade. Suddenly, the intended victim has the audacity to protect themselves by grabbing hold of your arm. No big deal — simply rip that arm free and get back to work and swing harder and faster. Fortunately, they are trying to back up while keeping control. Heck, we might just run them over.
You see, while controlling the limb is a quick patch in the short term, in order to maintain control we need to control the whole person if we want to turn the tide here. To do this, we need to drive serious pressure while maintaining dominant position on that blade.
In the Red Zone program, we also show how to spiral them to the ground and onto their face. If we pin them to the wall, we can strip the blade off of their leg. Lets start with most survival situations.
You got lost or stranded, maybe you are running away from something. Maybe another Katrina happens and you have to pack up and move your family all your kit and bug out. All hell breaks loose and you have to defend you and yours. All of this means that you have to have a certain level of fitness to deal with the situation. Can you carry drag etc your bodyweight for multiple miles for multiple days? Can you in excrutiating pain get yourself into a winnable situation. Can you do this while keeping a positive attitude and ensure everyone in your party is taken care of?
A quick anecdote: A very good friend of mine is an 18D Army SF medic and broke his malleolous, the bony knobs of the ankle and had finished the mandatory ruck march on a broken ankle, carrying a load and in the prescribed time frame. If your body is used to dealing with stress in a healthy way it can handle larger bouts of unhealthy stress.
If your overall stress response is in better control in everyday life it is less likely to overflow into a compromised environment.
Stress comes in two flavors. Hormetic and non hormetic. Hormesis is the idea that the stress that is applied is in just the right amount that it causes a positive stress adaptation.
Non Hormetic, means that the body can not positively adapt and begins to break down. All of your standard health markers, blood pressure, cholesterol etc. Finally, practice moving through your house and drawing your weapon, figuring out the most efficient way to move and keep the best view of a potential intruder, while concealing yourself as much as possible. At the range. Once you find a coach, make sure you have a place to shoot for two to three days straight, at least once a month.
Adam encourages beginners to take the same course once or twice, and to not move too quickly to a more advanced course. Go over the fundamentals and practice them at home, then move up by applying basic skills across various firearms. Once your basics are down and you know how to handle a pistol, a rifle, a shotgun, etc.
Speed is the last skill that you need to improve, and this is best done by finding a reputable marksman Adam names Bill Rogers as an example.
Priority given to military background. If you have a friend who was in combat arms in the military, Adam advises asking them who they would go to in the local area.
