When the apocalypse comes, don't be that guy who panics. Panicking is for amateurs. A true survivalist stays calm, thinks clearly, and has a solid plan.
Develop a bugout plan, but make sure it's a good one. This isn't a drill. Have a meeting spot, a communication plan, and a backup plan (or five).
Caches are like the ultimate survivalist's best friend. Know where to hide, how to secure, and what to cache. Don't be the one who gets caught with their pants down.
