@"MisterSpock"  has anyone Welcomed you to our little Family Yet?

Well it is nice to met you, if you need help just ask or Learn Our Site link it is easy with pictures,,,, I think the pictures are for me 

Been a long time since i did just a back to the basics type of survival thread. And this is something that is in my wheelhouse so why not start a thread a see where it goes. Maybe I will do it as one stop quasi blog of a thread rather than doing a separate thread for every little topic. 

Rather than start with Rules of Three or whats the best bits of gear for EDC. The first thing to do is to take stock of your situation. 

Take a breath. This is the chance to calm down and eliminate anxiety. By all means use your adrenaline to get out of immediate danger. But stop and focus as soon as you can to get yourself under control and not act in a panicked state. 

Take stock. You have items in your pockets or very close nearby. You may not have a piece of "traditional" gear. But do you have pocket change? You can cold forge a coin into a makeshift thumb knife using a couple rocks. 

Know things. You may have to look at the world around you with a scavenger's eye. Don't have paracord in your stock? Better know how to make cordage out of natural materials. Thinking out of the box requires a working knowledge of how things work or are made. 

Walking. If you was to ask me what is the number one thing you can do to start prepping or become a Bushcrafter or Survivalist. That would be walking to rebuild your endurance. if you think back to being a child, running and playing all day, climbing trees, etc...those days are gone typically by 35-40. Walking, hiking, walking tours...whatever you do, rebuild that endurance. Done for the day isn't helpful after only moving for 30 minutes. Yes it is rough. but you can do it. 

While you are walking, learn things like identifying edible and medicinal plants in your area. Knowing where cattails are in your area is like knowing where Walmart is as the list of what cattails can provide is amazing.
