Can you hang?
I will just get straight to it, how many pushups can you do? How far can you go with a 50lb pack on your back? How fast can you run a mile? Can you run a mile? How far can you swim before you are exhausted? Do I have your attention? Are you wondering what this has to do with your survival?
If you are not scared, you are not prepared!
I have found that a large number of us neglect our fitness as a whole. I am not talking about the general population, that neglect is obvious. I am talking about the people in our community. Ones that are dedicated to being prepared to weather the storm, whatever it may be. But, the truth is most will not because they do not take their fitness seriously.
Certainly, they have stockpiled supplies and equipment meant to facilitate their survival. They have Go Bags, BOBs (Bug Out Bags), and INCH (I’m Never Coming Home) Bags. They spend time learning the skills necessary to survive the world WROL (Without Rule of Law), well I hope they are. If you aren’t we can help you with that. They have food stored for the long term. They have weapons and ammunition, I hope they know how to use them. You get the picture. But, they are missing one important piece, fitness!
You are going to die!
If you fail to address your lack of fitness, you are going to fail at your task of surviving the storm. You will not survive the road that lies ahead of you. The stark reality is that in a WROL situation you will be met with extreme violence. The likes of which you can’t even imagine. If you are not strong and fit, as well as trained and equipped, you are going to die!
If you are serious about your survival, you must address your fitness. You must become an asset and stop being a liability. I’m not saying you need to be Jason Bourne, although if you are please get in touch with me. I am saying don’t be the Family Guy. Take some personal responsibility, spend 15 minutes a day getting stronger. If you are not trying you are dying. So drop and give me 25!
As Always,
Stay Vigilant and Be Prepared
