Lessons of survival and preparedness from Hurricane Helene, which walloped us very hard in Appalachia. Radios, walkie-talkies, HAM. Reasons every preparedness strategy must revolve around mobility on foot. Are you an older person, up in age? This doesn't necessarily mean that preparedness for foot travel is automatically out of the question. My experience with Hurricane Jeanne in Siesta Key, FL back in 2004. The silliness of many "survival" guys building their strategies around play forts in the woods. Abandoning your car or truck. Donkeys & mules and their superiority over off-road vehicles. Getting trapped on top of mountains, or down in hollers. Baofeng radios.
