Basic Survival Skills
Everyone knows the #1 rule of survival: always be prepared.
When the shit truly hits the fan, money won't matter. Having the latest survival gear won't matter. It won't matter if you were an avid backpacker or went camping every weekend. Even having a bug out bag might not matter.
What will matter is survival and your ability to actually survive.
Being prepared is more than reading or making a survival kit. You aren't prepared unless you know basic survival skills and can apply them during a disaster, emergency, or catastrophe.
