- Other notes:
Bug In Plan
Bugging in will require you to think about your home differently; the first thing you need to do is determined the threat level.
Level 1 - No danger - utilities are out - people are getting along
-
OPSEC is low - neighbors working together.
-
OPSEC is medium, should try to ban with neighbors to block off your street.
Level 3 - Dangerous - utilities are out - people are desperate and looking for supplies.
-
OPSEC is high - You should bug out or hide in place - make home look as if no one is there and be ready to defend your family and supplies. Safe room or bunker will add to your protection.
You should have all of your survival kits with you unless they were destroyed in the disaster. A survival kit is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared in advance as an aid to survival in an emergency.
Kits come in a variety of sizes:
● Survival kit: small, can be carried with you.
● Backpack (BOB), limited only by the weight you can carry.
● Vehicle Kit: survival /auto repair kit.
● Location kit: large, used at home or bug-out-location.
To make your kits, start by building you basic survival kit and add to it. Then start on your BOB and so on. Create kits that you like by looking at each item and deciding on the one that will work best for you. Increase the amount of supplies for larger kits.

Notes:
Education Plan
This is the most important part of your plan, it is the only part that you can be sure to have with you at all times.
You need to learn how all of the different types of disasters may affect you and find ways to protect yourself from them. After you have done that, the basic rules of survival are all the same.
3 minutes without air:
If you are able to get oxygen, you are good to go; if not, you have around three minutes to find some.
3 hours without shelter:
This depends on the weather, but I can assure you that shelter will be your next priority if you are out in any kind of precipitation or you are in extreme heat or cold.
3 days without water:
Try to go without water for a day and you will know why this rule is so important.
3 weeks without food:
Same for food, you are going to need some.
The time to start learning how to be self-reliant is now!
Start by visiting the A.N.T.S survival guide and expand your knowledge into the areas you are most interested in.

Notes:
- First we must define survival and preparedness
- Next we should consider the meaning of self sufficient and self reliant
- It is important to acknowledge that you need a plan in the first place
- Before we assess threats we need to delineate between acute and long term effects
- Next examine threat probability and the commonality of disaster
- Now define your self sufficient and self reliant time lines (“wealth” according to Buckminster Fuller)
- Then define your primary and secondary priorities
- Determine your weakest points and assign future resources based on your most urgent needs
- Journal your progress, successes, failures, the weather, everything
- A plan is designed to be fluid but you must have a basis and changes need documenting
- As you shore up weaknesses you will find new ones emerging, prioritize them accordingly
- Be sure to test yourself both voluntarily and involuntarily
- Remember no one cares about you as much as you do
- Start out with what you have
- The burden of debt and why it must be eliminated
- Where do you find survival supplies, Walmart, The Grocery, etc. at least before you need them
- Starting out with 3 days of self sufficiency and turning it into 10 days effortlessly
- Pile it on a table, know what you have and organize it
- Documentation and simple encryption of sensitive numbers
- Why you must own your plan not follow mine
- The big regret you never have to face
- The cancer of fear and how to destroy it
- The difficult choices you can avoid ever having to make
- Why now is the time to start and the journey is not a hard as you may believe it to be
