In recent years, we've all witnessed a significant rise in food prices. The future of food availability and affordability remains uncertain, making it crucial to have a food preparedness and security plan.

One of the most effective ways to ensure food security is through freeze-drying. It's like having money in the bank, but in this case, it's food.

Freeze-drying allows you to stockpile food for long periods (up to 25 years), ensuring you're prepared for any eventuality.

My wife Carin and I have been freeze drying leftovers, garden produce, wild edibles, herbs, surplus food, meat, eggs, deserts and a lot more - for a while now… AND You Can TOO…

Right now, my friends at Harvest Right are offering YOU - our Survival Show Podcast tribe -  a fantastic deal on a premium freeze dryer with upgraded capacity, an industrial pump, a DIY starter kit and free shipping when you use our link: UtimateSurvivalTips.com/FREEZE (for a limited time).

Okay, lets get into today’s show with Craig.

[Craig Intro / Welcome]

Craig’s backstory for new listeners - up to what you do today.

How did the book - Extreme Wilderness Survival come to be?

Why did you write it?

Today we are going to use Chapter 1 as our guide and expand on the content…

People get overwhelmed with preparedness and survival - So we want to keep it simple but do our best to focus on the most important things - and then use simple systems to help us remember what to do when things go bad…

Mindset / Skills / Tactics - Teamwork / Gear / Supplies

Discuss this the importance of this MSTGS sequence:

David - IMAGINE MSTGS - as an upside down pyramid - Mindset on the bottom - Everything else after it crashes down if MINDSET Fails. So Mindset must be bullet proof, strong, trained.

David - Now - Let’s talk vulnerability of the pyramid.

The biggest / TOP parts of the pyramid are the most vulnerable.

But also being at the bottom… a Hardened Mindset being (at the bottom) is very hard to steal.

Skills are also something that others can not take.

Tactics and Teamwork have some inherent vulnerabilities (variables of other people on and not on team).

Gear can be lost, broken, stolen or will be unusable if a person has no skill.

Supplies are easy to take and will be most sought after.

Segment 1: Mindset (10 minutes)

- Importance of developing a survival mindset. Why is it FIRST in IMPORTANCE?

- Mental resilience and adaptability in challenging situations.

  • Strategies for staying calm and focused during emergencies.
  • (David: prayer, keeping active, singing, choosing to think the best, recite motivational sayings or Bible verses)
  • The power of positive thinking and maintaining a can-do attitude.
  • Why Mindset takes training…
  • You can do more than you think you can
  • Do hard things

Discuss STOPA (A System of Survival)

Why are survival systems important?

Stop: Sit Down (if you are off the X) / Take a deep breath

Think: Consider what you have.

Observe: Observe your surroundings, situation, resources.

Plan: Make a plan

Act: Actively execute a plan to remediate your situation and keep your mind alert.

Segment 2: Skills (10 minutes)

- Essential survival skills everyone should learn.

- Fire starting techniques, shelter building, and water purification.

- Navigation and orienteering skills.

- Basic first aid and medical knowledge.

  • Self-defense and personal safety techniques.

BUILD SKILLS BASED On Survival Rule of THREE / Priorities of Survival

How to build skills? Where to start?

  • Simples stuff: This podcast  and book, training. Hiking.. Go camping in the back yard. Turn the electric off…

RULE of Three - Survival System / Priorities:

KEY - Take Care of What Will Kill You FIRST

  • Three Seconds Get off the X
  • Three Minutes - Air and Blood - Safety, Self Defense, First Aid
  • Three Hours - Core Body Temp.  (Fire, Shelter, Appropriate Clothing, PREPPING - ALTERNATE Heat Source.
  • Three Days - Water / Hydration (How to: Find Water, Collect Water, Filter Purify (STORE - for Preppers)
  • Three Weeks - Food
  • Three Months - Companionship

- Build Skills Around these priorities

Segment 3: Tactics - Teamwork (10 minutes)

- The significance of teamwork in survival situations.

- Building a reliable support network and community.

- Effective communication and coordination within a group.

- Division of tasks and responsibilities for optimal efficiency.

- Training and practicing together to enhance teamwork.

NOW Next Lets get into everyones favorite topic - GEAR…

____________

Segment 4: Gear (10 minutes)

  • Why is gear important? - Force multiplier - (But not first in importance)?

  • Essential gear categories and equipment for survival and preparedness.

  • Choosing the right tools for specific scenarios.

  • Practicing vs. Training with Gear - (Training: Simulate real work scenarios with gear)

  • Eliminate unneeded gear.  Application…

  • ESSENTIAL: Learn to Use Your Gear… Too many people collect gear…and never use it.

- Importance of quality and durability in gear selection. LESS is MORE - if you have good gear and know how to use it.

  • Essential items - (We will cover this in DETAIL in a later chapter and in Ultimate Wilderness GEAR the other series we are doing) - Subscribe so you don’t miss that…
  • Tips for finding, maintaining and organizing your gear.

Segment 5: Supplies (10 minutes)

  • What is the difference between gear and supplies?
  • David - Some cross over BUT generally: supplies are a vital commodity that expires, gets consumed or needs resupplied. (Batteries, food, water, money, fuel, electricity, heating fuel, etc.)
  • Stockpiling essential supplies for emergencies.

- Food and water storage considerations.

  • Importance of a well-rounded emergency supply kit.
  • Importance of hygiene, sanitation.

- Managing and rotating supplies to ensure freshness.
