People want an easy answer (See article - the nature of humans), so they are happy to accept the first solution that they encounter which seems to "fix the problem".
 
Ignoring the previous paragraph's point is perilous. Unfortunately the desire to "rest calmly" overrides logical thought, so people buy guns, join a paramilitary group or "hook up" with ex-military types who have strong defense rhetoric, others immerse themselves in bushcrafting. These activities give them a sense of engagement and hence security.
 
The fact is no single skill set, tool, or group will guarantee your survival. You need a well balanced rounded set of skills and approach that will make you secure through practiced skills, quality gear, trusted community and above all well developed skills at mindset of self reliance.
 
We outline in our websites what we mentor and train in our free classes, our private and business training sessions. It is an approach that is time tested, proven and balanced. It considers all issues including legal, ethical, moral and financial boundaries
 
Beginning with the psychology, philosophy, mindset and core skills found in the sections of PracticeSurvival.com you can work your way through and build a sense of a survival and self reliant mindset to create the best possible chance of success for you. Once you have built and mastered or at least become acquainted with the terms, language and actions of the core skills and mind set you can begin to grow and expand your mind and gain wisdom in understanding how to apply and work with these skills within the society and in the event of a disaster outside of it.
