Yesterday, I had a guy write a long post on FB complaining about my article at Survival Blog about training for individual movement and setting up a secure overnight location.
He said "I want to be prepared, not be a soldier boy".
Let's chat about this.

That's all well & good, but in a collapse or WROL situation, there will be no law enforcement and hence criminals will be roaming free.
People who haven't eaten in days will act very differently than they do today. Violently so.

Thinking that preparedness is having a stockpile of food and few extra batteries is DANGEROUS.
The concept you want to envision is more like a Frontiersman of the early days.
He just wanted to homestead and grow his food & be left alone.

But, he maintained the skills and tools to defend himself and his homestead.
He understood that to stay safe and free, he needed to conduct patrols, watch the roads around him, and be skilled at scouting.
He didn't rely on the goodness of others.

I'm not saying you need to train to be at an SOF level, or plan on fighting every day.
On the contrary, I'm saying that learning and training on individual movement skills, scouting & patrolling, and low profile camping will help you AVOID having to fight anyone.

Not training on these things is being unrealistic. We have to prepare for how the world WILL BE, not what we hope it will be.
Anyway, I hope this spurs some of you on.
Volume 2 of the Tactical Wisdom Series will focus on a few of these topics.
