When Everyday Incidents Become Survival Lessons

When a car crashed into the loading dock of a restaurant while I was having lunch, it sparked an important realization—I'd forgotten to check the exits when I walked in. This simple oversight highlights how easily we neglect situational awareness in our daily routines.

Preparedness isn't just about stockpiling supplies; it's about developing habits that keep you safe in any environment. Whether entering a restaurant, grocery store, or public space, take a moment to observe who's there, what they're doing, where the exits are, and what resources might be available. Are people behaving normally? Is security unusually tight? These environmental cues provide valuable information about potential risks and should influence your decisions.

The grocery store landscape has changed dramatically in recent months—emptier shelves, modified hours, items locked behind cases, and increased security presence. These shifts reflect our changing society and underscore the importance of having both supplies and skills. Do you know how to cook rice from scratch? Can you bake bread without a recipe? Many younger people lack these fundamental survival skills, leaving them vulnerable during extended emergencies. The time to develop these abilities is now, when resources are available and you have time to practice, not during a crisis when internet tutorials are inaccessible.

Your homework is twofold: evaluate your situational awareness practices and assess your emergency preparedness, both in supplies and knowledge. Include your entire family in this process—everyone needs basic skills and understanding. Whether you're a seasoned prepper or just starting out, remember that awareness and preparation are ongoing practices, not one-time events. Want to enhance your preparedness skills? Come check out our range classes covering everything from non-ballistic self-defense to advanced tactical training. Your future self will thank you for the time invested today.
