Monday I responded to a listener who asked a question about planning and he was hoping for a checklist. My response was that I can’t really give you a hard check list because you must develop your own plan (Tenet Ten of Modern Survival Philosophy). From the beginning of TSP I have stated that to be the case, I also realized that it has been a long time since I did a show on planning and that I have never really dissected the personal aspect of planning for the needs of the individual and their immediate family. So today we are going to do just that.

Join me today as we discuss…
- First we must define survival and preparedness
- Next we should consider the meaning of self sufficient and self reliant
- It is important to acknowledge that you need a plan in the first place
- Before we assess threats we need to delineate between acute and long term effects
- Next examine threat probability and the commonality of disaster
- Now define your self sufficient and self reliant time lines (”wealth” according to Buckminster Fuller)
- Then define your primary and secondary priorities
- Determine your weakest points and assign future resources based on your most urgent needs
- Journal your progress, successes, failures, the weather, everything
- A plan is designed to be fluid but you must have a basis and changes need documenting
- As you shore up weaknesses you will find new ones emerging, prioritize them accordingly
- Be sure to test yourself both voluntarily and involuntarily
- Remember no one cares about you as much as you do
