U.S. Army Survival Manual FM 21-76 - EQUIPPED TO SURVIVE (tm) Self-reliance. Preparedness 101, or One Survivalist's Manifesto. The Ultimate Step-By-Step guide to creating your Urban Survival Plan After I’d been serious about preparedness and self reliance for a year or two, I realized that my buying, training, and planning had been based on whatever was the most exciting or urgent to me at the time.
I’d go through a gun phase, then a food phase, then a natural medicine phase, but I didn’t have anything to tie it all together. I want to go over a few things that have acted as a compass for my personal preparedness planning. Yours should be unique to you, but feel free to use mine as a jumping off point to create your own. We’ll get into more nuts-and-bolts stuff tomorrow, but this is an important place to start so that you know that we’re on the same page.
