Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: How Old Is "TOO old" To Survive. This week's responses to your "tactical wish-list" survey are freakin' AWESOME! (If you didn't take the survey, you can still tell me what you're looking for here.) My team and I have already started sprinkling pixie-dust (it looks a lot like sparkly gun powder!) all over our secret headquarters in order to put the finishing touches on granting you your wishes. I'll have more news for you next week on that... In the meantime, one of the "top 3" responses to when I asked "What's your #1 challenge to becoming better prepared?" really bothered me... A LOT of you said that your "age and physical limitations" were your biggest obstacle. Since our survey showed that we have a lot of "prior military" and many are "over 50", this makes sense I guess. At 48 y.o. myself (and a slightly messed-up back from my infantry days), I can relate to how unkind "Father Time" can be. That's why I still exercise regularly and practice my tactical/survival skills to stay in shape. But your physical fitness ISN'T your #1 weapon... ... it's your MIND! I mean sure... the more "fit" you are, the much better prepared you'll be to face any crisis or attack. No doubt about it. But I (VERY!) often talk to customers who tell me, "I can't do that because I'm too old and I can't move very well." That's NOT "surviving". That's "giving up", right? Too often it seems like an excuse NOT to prepare a certain part of your plan - until the SHTF and it's too late. Look, the secret is that you need to know HOW TO ADAPT your "tactical blueprint" to your own individual abilities and needs. Don't you agree? That's why - if your body isn't like it was in your 20's - your ability to go hand-to-hand with a blood-thirsty gang holding you up in a parking lot is likely going to be a losing battle for you. And THAT'S where an "equalizer" like a firearm is your best bet, right? But it's not about the gun... it's about how you USE the gun! Tactically! Tactics ALWAYS trump "equipment"! But even this requires a more personal touch in order to put together a customized tactical plan for you. Your age and physical limitations will dictate... ... the firearms you choose ... how you carry it ... the clothes you wear ... how you respond, etc. Same goes for your "survival plan" for things like disasters. Depending on your personal physical limitations and even your health conditions, you need to personalize things like... ... foods you store ... medicines you stockpile ... how you "fortify" your home (safety and defense) ... how you evacuate if you're forced to ... who you network with as a "team" ... and whole bunch of other factors! I know it seems like a lot. Frankly, it is. But it's absolutely necessary in order to be 100% confident in your response plan - and your ability to put it into action no matter if you're facing an armed home invader... felon gangbanger in a parking lot... a terrorist hit on a nuclear facility... or Mother Nature gives you "the finger" and decides to flood, burn, or blow apart your home. It's about YOU. YOUR family... YOUR plan. I'm sure that's why your #1 "wish" was for more training manuals - and I'm working on that. But I'm actually looking to go even FARTHER for you... and I'm hoping to actually work 1-on-1 with a handful of you so we can dig deeper into your personal plan. I have some ideas on how to do this, but I'm not all the way there yet. I will be. Next week I think. But I'm still trying to figure out the best way and I have my entire team (including web guys!) working nearly around the clock to get you what you need. Sorry to be such a tease. hahaha Anyway, have a great weekend and I'll be back with some more tips in another day or so.
