Essential Skills, Tasks, and Training for Preppers and Survivalists: Part 1\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/center>For this article, we\u2019re going to go into \u201cbasic focus\u201d mode: you start out with the basics and build upon them.\u00a0 This is the type of mindset and foundation that work for everything in life (basically).\u00a0 You use it as a format in everything you do, such as building a home or when you begin an exercise program.\u00a0 In this vein, we\u2019re going to create a Training METL<\/strong>: A Mission-Essential Task List<\/strong> for your Training<\/strong> as a basis for well-rounding yourself.\u00a0 This is Part 1 of a 2-part series.<\/p>\n

What is your focus?\u00a0 What type of work do you do?\u00a0 How do you allocate your time?\u00a0 A short time ago, I wrote a piece on the importance of self-analysis: creating a true picture of yourself, your strengths, and areas that you need to improve in.\u00a0 This holds true here, as you identify and prioritize your goals, with an overall objective in mind.\u00a0 Here is an overall objective for you:<\/p>\n

To survive and thrive as you and your family develop physically, mentally, and spiritually to well-round yourselves and prepare for any disaster that arises.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple enough.\u00a0 The Mission-Essential Task List for Training can become a big part in actually realizing that objective and maintaining it.\u00a0 This METL (called \u201cMetal\u201d in the Army) for your use will use broad categories to train and prepare that you can refine as your needs change and your skills improve.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start it off!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Physical Training<\/strong><\/a>: It all starts here, with whatever you do to be able to \u201chang with the big dogs!\u201d\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re a Triathlete, a weightlifter, a boxer, or a swimmer, you need to take your personal forte and tailor it to the maximum productive capacity.\u00a0 Outline your training schedule, plan short and long-term goals for improvement, and take copious notes!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
