GET OPTIMIZED!

1) Always be safe! You should only use tools and weapons that you have been trained in. If you invest in a weapon, invest in the training to properly use it as well.

2) When building your bug-out bag, focus on the absolute basics-72 hours worth of clothing, a hygiene kit, medications, and a personal information pack is a good start.

3) Find a responsible friend or family member that you can rely on to check in with you. When you go into the wilderness, always give them your plans and time you expect to be back by.
