We’ve all heard the phrase “Be aware of your surroundings.” Typically, this saying is used in relation to personal safety.

If you’re driving a car, you should be aware of other drivers and try to anticipate their actions, such as someone slamming on their brakes or swerving into your lane.
In this day and age, it is more important than ever for one to be aware of their surroundings. In this episode, we will discuss The Art of Situational Awareness.

Start an Emergency Food Pantry
On This Episode:
For Centuries, food pantries were an essential space in every household. Weekly trips to the market were impractical or impossible, and families relied on their pantries to get them through the lean winter months.
Today, most people live a short drive away from the grocery store, so organizing a home food pantry might seem unnecessary.
One of the biggest benefits of a home food pantry is that it enables you to prepare for short- and long-term emergencies. There are many scenarios that could make it difficult or impossible to go to the grocery store.
It’s important to realize that food shortages can happen anywhere, at any time, even if your area is not experiencing an emergency. Most grocery stores only have enough food on hand to meet the needs of their community for three days, sometimes even less. If something happens to disrupt the food supply chain, this means that your local market could run out of food very quickly.
In this episode, we’ll discuss how you can start your emergency food pantry!
Key Topics:
Time Stamp:
Where to stockpile your food (02:36)
Track What you eat (03:31)
Buy the foods you eat (05:03)
Stockpiling food (05:36)
The $10 a week emergency food pantry (06:16)
Rotate your food supply (09:13)
Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods (09:59)
Do’s and don'ts of food storage (10:23)
Conclusion (11:55)

Your mind can be the most powerful survival tool that you have at your disposal when used properly! A survival mindset will help you survive even when you have no tools, equipment, or supplies. With the proper training, you can develop the psychological skills of Attitude, Adaption, and Awareness essential to your survival!
Your mission in any survival situation is to stay alive. During a survival situation, you're going to experience an assortment of thoughts and emotions. These can work for you, or they can work to your downfall. Fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, guilt, depression, and loneliness are all possible reactions to many stressors common to survival. These reactions, when controlled in a healthy way, help to increase your likelihood of surviving. When the survivor cannot control these reactions in a healthy way, they can bring him to a standstill.
